One detail I love is that during Nick's third visit to Rory, one of the henchmen is in the background bringing him another drink. He then backs away when he reads the room as to how angry his boss is.
then the other detail how Rory in the 3rd scence in the office steps trough the glass table since its missing the glass
my favourite trivia about this movie is that Jason Statham's opening scene as an illegal street vendor wasn't scripted, he allegedly had a lot of experience to draw on.
The scary bald guy, "Barry The Baptist" was played by Lenny McLean, who was a real-life criminal and an accomplished bare-knuckle boxer in London. His autobiography, "The Guv'nor" is a great read. Unfortunately he passed away back in 1998, shortly before this film was released.
Yeah. He wasn't acting. Lenny was being himself.
"keep your Alan's on" alans, Alan whickers, knickers.
Nick the bubble, bubble and squeak, greek. Cockney rhyming slang
Ping-pong, strong. Tiddly, tiddly and wink, drink. North, south, mouth.
@@mikemanson5927 Thanks! Kinda got the hang of the Cockney slang waaay after this film. And even then, I didn’t think that part could be broken down. Impressive.
Oh, I'm an idiot 😂😂😂 I've seen this film christ knows how many times (even pissed about one summer writing the script for a sequel lol) and I genuinely thought "your Alans" meant balls, y'know like the World Cup winner.
Worst bit about that? Half my family are from north London 🤦🤦🤦😂😂😂
The Ending -hanging over the bridge - references the famous ending of the original The Italian Job.
Guy Ritchie is the one director who managed to take the massive Tarantino influence of the 90s and turn it into something distinctive of his own.
Guy Richie is definitely the closest thing to Quentin Tarantino we have, Lock, Stock definitely gives off Pulp Fiction vibes (quirky, eclectic characters with an several interweaving storylines that come together to make sense in the end). The Gentlemen is a class film as well.
21:36 “Bubble and Squeak” is Cockney rhyming slang for “Greek”. Bubble and squeak is an English dish made from left over veg, made into a patty and fried. In Cockney rhyming slang, you normally drop the bit that rhymes and just say the first word. Hence, “Nick the Greek” becomes “Nick the Bubble”.
Being Greek, I showed my mum the cuss scene where Rory Breaker insults Nick in Greek... she was not impressed lol
You've obviously never actually seen Vinnie Jones the footballer... he played how he acts. 😂😂
IDK if he holds it still, but in his professional football career he held the world record for the fastest ever red card in a league game: 10 seconds. the whistle blew and he headbutted someone on the opposing team and was immediately sent off lmaoooo
My favorite Guy Ritchie movie! I saw this close to Dog Soldiers and thought the UK was crushing it for first time film directors (along with Neil Marshall).
It's amazing how good Statham is and he followed this not long after by The Transporter which gave some incredible physical skills to the table.
I love the dialogue and the pacing of the delivery. Practically music!
My favorite, too. "Snatch" seems to get the most attention, but I think this entry in Guy Ritchie's filmography is superior to anything else he's done.
17:40 Keep in mind that Soap is a chef, so he knows a thing or two about knives...
"Keep your Alans on" = Rhyming slang, Alan Wickers (knickers)
I’ve always liked this one a lot more than snatch. Although I freely admit to having to have the subtitles on the first few times I watched it. Wonderful film with great actors, & a killer story.
& yep - JD’s dad is played by Sting!
Alan Ford is the actor that plays Brick Top and the Alan Narrator
Emily ,Bubble = Greek it's cockney rhyming slang , "bubble and squeak "which is a meal made from fried left overs of spuds and cabbage, Vinnie was a pro soccer player and was known as a hardman on and off the pitch , Tommy Docherty the famous Scottish player and coach quipped " I knew he would be a good actor after all he impersonated a footballer for 12 years." Always good to see and hear your reactions ,love your accent.
"Alans" = Alan Whickers = knickers
Alan Whicker was a famous British TV presenter who's globe-trotting documentary series, Whicker's World was a staple of UK TV in the '60s, '70s and '80s.
its called Cockney Rhyming Slang and mostly almost impossible for foreigners to decipher
@@IH8YHEspecially when the original slang gets abbreviated.
Like 'listerine' for being anti American.
Listerine = anti septic
And septic tank = yank
I knew that one and the origins but even I, living by London almost my whole life didn't get all of what the barman(cat from Red Dwarf) was saying.
@@usgreth I think that was written to deliberately take the piss, i.e. the barman was trying too hard.
Brilliant to see someone genuinely get the Katmandu joke.
It was Vinnie Jones first Acting Role after retiring from playing professional football (soccer)
The man that told why the guy was on fire is the Cat on Red Dwarf
Guys first and best, great solo reaction from a fan from Liverpool.
I like to think of the colour as grime rather than grainy . "Keep you're allens on" is a knickers reference, allen wickers = knickers. Great channel.
Wonderful pick! Been waiting for another reaction to this versus Snatch. I bought the soundtrack, and it has some of the funny lines in it.
I used to live and teach in Slovakia. Lecturing history and sociology. The course I taught was called; UK, life culture and institutions (aka, GB realia). I used this movie as part of the course. 20 minutes of the film, 20 minutes of Q & A. Passive learning. Students loved it and it was an easy, lazy, teach for me.
I love the subtitles for rhyming slang. Also bubble=greek, because bubble and squeak (aka boxing day hash made with leftover brussels sprouts and roast potatoes, or cabbage and mashed potato any other time of the year, if you're into bubble and squeak).
Also we need more Rory Breaker.
"Keep your Alans on" Rhyming slang for "knickers", from Alan Whicker (who was a British journalist). "Don't get your knickers in a twist is also used". It means calm down.
Well now I'm just envisioning Pippen hanging off the bridge at the end but he's pushing the bag over on purpose 😂
9:20 My grandad used to call those life-lines, cause the people who had em had either lived a full life or were just about to start one 😂😂😂
Yes, that is Sting.
1:53- Jason Statham before he was THE TRANSPORTER!!!!!!🤯
Rocknrolla is another great movie by the same makers with a host of stars in it
The Bartender in Rory Breaker's pub is non other than Danny John Jules, aka The Cat from Red Dwarf for those who don't know.
0:45 My uncle says the exact same thing every thanksgiving, right around his 4th cocktail!
Of course Jason Statham had parts before this film.... who can forget seeing him as a dancer (oiled up in leopard skin briefs) in the promotional music video to "Comin' on" by The Shamen!
Yes. That is Sting ❤
"I have distilled the essence of my husband into this little square piece of paper"
I may have paraphrased a bit.
You should go down the rabbit hole that is the story of Lenny "The Governor" McLean. How he decided to quit drinking is off the hook.
Now you have seen Lock Stock...
You Must watch The Gentleman.
It has to be Guy Ritchie's finest film...
Vinnie Jones was specifically cast for the role because of his real life personality
In the '90s, lo-fidelity imagery was a fashionable thing and digital color correction was in it's infancy, so movies often resorted to shooting on video or shooting on film with improper filters or the wrong grading to achieve certain visual styles that, nowadays, we'd do in Photoshop or AfterEffects. RUN LOLA RUN did something similar.
yes its sting
My first and favorite Guy Ritchie film. Another great British film to check would be Cockneys Vs Zombie its a fun little film
Alan's = Alan Whickers, means knickers (Cockney rhyming slang). Yes it is Sting and yes there is something about Vinnie Jones lol. I like your enthusiasm for English films. And we are not the ones with "the accent", as the home nation of the language, everyone else has the accent lol. And one of the best soundtracks ever, Guy Ritchie uses the best music to accompany some very contrasting violent scenes.
so glad you understood and enjoyed the cockney uk stuff
Your reaction was golden 😂🤣
Loved this reaction. Now you need to watch the Gentlemen. I think you'd love it.
I actually have a DVD copy of the film intentionally to go along with the vibe of the film. One of the few instances I have done this.
Tiddies!
Barry the Baptist (Lenny McLean) was an actual gangster he used to be an enforcer for the Kray Twins and a very successful bare knuckle boxer
The slang gets easier the more British content you watch, or read. Maybe I have an advantage, being Canadian. As a Commonwealth nation, we used to get a fair bit of British shows on TV, when I was young. Not so much anymore, but now there is youtube, which has a lot of British content on it, or at least I seem to run into it a lot.
WHERE MATT?! Too busy playing Skyrim? :P
Also this was the first film I saw Danny John-Jules in after loving his performance in Red Dwarf (the guy telling the story about Rory Breaker to the crew). You would LOVE Red Dwarf
Knickers' (women's underwear) in modern rhyming slang, sometimes shortened to 'Alans', from the broadcaster Alan Whicker
Still my favorite Guy Richie movie, closely followed by Snatch.
Glad you enjoyed it. Us Brits at our best ! lol
You need to see The Gentleman by Guy Richie if you haven't already
I think this is the first movie I saw with Jason Statham, and love it, pretty funny too. Snatch is actually a follow up to Lock, Stock and 2 smoking Barrels.
Just to clarify, it's a follow-up in that it was made after LS, but it doesn't involve the same characters. Sadly there is no LS2.
@@theaikidoka correct
Re Nick the Bubble/Nick the Greek: Bubble and Squeak is Cockney rhyming slang for Greek. Bubble and Squeak is dish made from frying cooked potato and cabbage.
Emily looks so good lately. She always has been attractive, but lately she's looking even sexier. Has she lost weight or is it just the clothes and hair?
Yes.
This is the movie that made me like Huy Richie films
One of the funniest crime comedy movies ever made!
Love it! :D x
The Cockneys rhyming slang is bubble and squeak is Greek
You guys really need to do a reaction to "Predestination" 2014. Trust it will be the best one yet.
Yes that's Sting
Bubble is bubble and squeak(food) =Greek. Hence Nick the Bubble and Nick the Greek are the same person.
TIDDIES!
This is one of the few films that qualify as Ultimate Cool. It never gets old.
Vinni Jones is a genuine hard man.
he played pro soccer for 15 years at the highest level and was known for being a dangerous player who would hack you down given half a chance.
theres a famous photo of him grabbing another famous player by the nuts during a game.
Interesting stuff for ya - Along with being an unlicensed boxer, McLean (Barry the baptist) was an enforcer in London's criminal underworld. As a respected and feared figure, he often associated with infamous criminals such as the Kray twins, Ronnie Biggs and Charles Bronson.
The actor who played the character 'Soap' also played Sergeant Martin in the series 'Band of brothers'. Great reaction, love your laugh! :)
Soap is now a director. He took over the directing of Bohemian Rhapsody, directed Rocketman and the forthcoming Sherlock Holmes 3.
And was Staff Sergeant John Martin in ‘Band of Brothers’.
Soap:Dexter fletcher, was -baby-face" in the movie bugsy malone
Wild Bill is an excellent film directed by him.
My favorite movie
did your snatch reaction get taken down? i want to watch it but cant find it :/
I can't wait for you to watch The Gentlemen
Nick the bubble and squeak - Greek. Cockney rhyming slang.
Have you watched RocknRolla or The Gentlemen yet? They are also Guy Ritchie films in the same general style and with great characters, but as I recall none of the actors from Lock, Stock or Snatch are in those.
I would recommend The Gentlemen next, with Matthew Mcconaughey, Hugh grant, and Colin farrell.. Not as comedic but still good.
lord atom and smite=rich and tight
Hello cuteness! This was an awesome movie.
Let's see, you've done Snatch and LS&2SB, now you just need to watch RocknRolla and The Gentlemen.
Your next Guy Ritchie movie should be "The Gentlemen".
Oh yeah, I never liked Hugh Grant, but he is f*cking cool in The Gentlemen 😀
i recommend you react to :
★ - *Smokin' Aces* (2006) 🔥
_starring _*_Ryan Reynolds_*_ , _*_Ray Liotta_*_ , _*_Ben Affleck_*_ , _*_Chris Pine_*_ , _*_Andy García_*_ & _*_Alicia Keys_*
_Underrated Gem♡_
You are looking goood!
Snatch, Lock stock, Rocknrolla.
All 3 of them Guy Ritchie masterpieces in this genre 😀
Everyone knows how much you love Snatch .... *snort*
Statham went on to become an action star but I much preferred him just playing the snarky straight guy than the over the top action heroes/bad guys he later went on to play.
Emily, you need to find a documentary about Vinnie Jones in his first career, a professional footballer (soccer player) with Wimbledon. They were infamous. He was just one of the crazy gang. Oh yeah, and this was the era of the players wearing short shorts........just because I know how your mind works ;) You'll see why he's good at these kinds of roles lol.
Nick the bubble = bubble and squeak = Greek Rhyming slang
You should really look up what Vinnie Jones did on the soccer field if you're surprised he beat up his neighbor.
He grabbed life by the short and curlies.
Well he was an enforcer after all. He once got a yellow card in 5 seconds on the field.
Since you like this genre, there are a few lesser known films that are excellent. Better Luck Tomorrow, and Green Street Hooligans are fantastic. Maybe not great for the channel since they're not as well known, but I definitely recommend then.
Layer Cake would be another good movie to add to that list
Green street is kinda corny. The Football Factory is a better,more authentic film about the same subculture
“Keep your Alan’s on” is Cockney rhyming slang. Alan is short for Alan Wicker. Alan Wicker = knickers.
this movie is a bit of a thirst trap for you isn't it ;)
For another great Guy Ritchie film, check out Rock n Rolla. It has Gerard Butler, Idris Elba, and a fairly young Tom Hardy.
I love Snatch as well
And the movie's pretty good too
absolutely brilliant movie never gets old a great soundtrack this movie was £800,000 to make also Lenny Mclean was a "Boxer, Bouncer and Bodyguard" back in the 60s and named the hardest man in Britain he had an eventful life ;) should look him up.
Barry the baptist is played by lenny mclean. Former unlicensed boxer and once called the hardest man in Britain. He also worked doors in London nightclubs and was bodyguard for some of London gangsters such as the krays and richardsons
I love snatch!!…. Come on! This stuff writes itself lol. Love your channel!
The reason they make fat jokes about Tom is that he was originally going to be played by Stephen Marcus (who plays nick the greek) when they changed the actor they simply thought it was funny to leave the fat jokes in
The grainier look you referred to is because it was shot on 16 mm film. A lot of low budget indie films used to be shot on the smaller film gauge, obviously because it was cheaper. Lock Stock cost just $1.35 million - even for the late nineties that was cheap. I have to say though that Guy Ritchie made 16 mm film look good, shame he moved up to larger formats.
It may not be just because of how it was shot, but might also be the restoration process. I have a version of The Third Man which has terrible grain problems, dots constantly moving about the screen in a distracting way - and this is an official restoration. The earlier version I own looks much cleaner with no loss of detail. I don't know what happened there, but it might be a similar problem to the one Emily saw.
When I watched this movie, I was like: "Is that Thanos?"
"F**k's sake, will everyone stop getting shot?!" LOL
I'm surprised it took you so long to watch this one! I know 'Snatch' is more popular (I prefer it too), but it can't be underestimated how big a deal this was in the UK when it came out.
Alans are a longtime well known men’s underwear brand in the UK. So, “keep your Alans on” is basically just a variation on “keep your shorts on”.
