Yes! A popular thing in the 60's and 70's. The only choice of a European luxury car was a Rolls Royce, a Bentley, or perhaps a Jaguar. So big American cars were imported for the wealthy people. Not so much these days. You might see a modern American Mustang on the roads in the UK, but not many other left hand drive Amercan imports.
My grandfather did business with the krays in the 60s. Apparently they were incredibly polite when they met, and greeted my mother, in a pushchair, and ronnie gently shook her hand. Sure they were terrible people who did terrible things, but they oftentimes showed great kindness and politeness to the ordinary people.
The woman singing is Duffy. She’s an actual artist, one of her best songs worth checking out is Warwick Avenue. Quality song, love the content and wishing you well from England🏴🇺🇸
You are hands down the best TH-camr that i have on my channel and this reaction is of course another great one!! Much luv from one of your fans across the sea here in Ireland, have a great new month and i hope this September is a wonderful one.
According to some stories, just as Ron shot George Cornell in the pub, the song "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore" started playing on the jukebox. Whether it happened or not, I've always thought it would've made a nice touch.
Doug and Dinsdale Piranha were based on the Krays. An earlier film was The Krays (1990) starring Billie Whitelaw as the mother and the Kemp brothers from Spandau Ballet as the Kray twins.
Crazy thing is they are still well known around here. Thousands turned out for the funeral of Reg. Legend is a fitting name for the movie. The car is probably an American import. Good reaction.
If you like this movie you would probably like Gangster No 1. Made in the 2000s and had that stylish 60s British aesthetic. You'll find a lot of the same actors as well.
Good movie.Tom Hardy is great as always. I think “ The Krays” (1990) is the better movie but Hardy is more believable as Ronnie/Reggie Kray. If you like British crime movies, I would recommend “Get Carter” (1971) with Michael Caine or “The Long Good Friday” (1980) with Bob Hoskins, both are classics of the genre.
Ben Mendelssohn is an amazing Australian actor. The year my voice broke with Noah Taylor written by John Duigan. In regards to Joel Edgerton. A very under rated Australian film called Praise. Staring Peter Fenton from the band Crow. A great depiction of toxic behaviour and relationships
@@chrissiereacts He sure is and he is brilliant in it. So is Cillian Murphy and the whole cast more or less. That show starts a bit slow but it gets INCREDIBLE.
Hi Chrissie just discovered your channel. The girl that sings in the clubs, is played by Duffy who is playing (loosely) Judy Garland. She sang on numerous occasions in their clubs
The take!! Favourite TH performance its based on a martina cole book about 80s gangster familly its a 3 part series origanly on tv, pretty dark but a must see
Locke is a underated film basically he is the only actor you see all movie, personally i think it's Tom Hardy's best performance completely different from his usual roles and well worth watching.
Absolutely sparkling reaction! Lived in East London in 1966-1969 as a child. The Krays were celebrities back then and very popular, local boys made good. They were always in the newspapers photographed with film stars, TV stars and pop singers. They came from Bethnal Green, 3 miles from where we lived at the time. At seven years old it all for the most part went past me unnoticed, but my mum thought of them the same as all the other celebrities in London at the time.
Cool movie. Tom is a talented boy. If you haven't seen it I highly recommend The Drop. Hardy is awesome and understated and James Gandolfini is tragically brilliant.
I always liked this movie for lots of good reasons (Tom Hardy and rest of the cast, and the storytelling quality) but I always felt it didn't quite understand where all this violence and desperate crime came from. It came from poverty. No one had any money in east London or in any major British inner cities in those days. So, for instance, the young woman might have wanted to run, but she simply couldn't or, indeed, wouldn't know how to. This Hardy vehicle is actually a bit of a remake of a smaller movie from 1990 which I actually prefer to this, mainly because that movie absolutely did get it. For instance, there's a great scene at the heart of the 1990 movie where one of the Kray's mother's own "circle" (an aunt I think, if memory serves) delivers a bitter monologue about "men". I haven't seen that movie for years so I might have to watch it again!
Ron didn't want the "Gangster Life" that had already been won. He wanted the Grind of blasting his way to the top like criminals of old. He was never going to bow out, get married, have kids and a nice house as he collects his 10% on all illegal activity. He wanted to be like Scarface, holed up in his fortress with an assault rifle with a grenade launcher attachment. As the enemy storms the palace he is screaming "Come say Hello to my Little Friend". He wanted people to be looking at the paper the next day saying "Jesus Wept, they found Ronny dead with close to a hundred dead gangsters surrounding him. Police say after he had run out of ammo, he wielded his gun like Arthur wielded Excalibur in defense of Albion.. he shot his way into the Hitory Books, and nobody will ever forget theh Ron's Last Stand.... A proper shootout!"
Hey Chrissie, I’m happy you’re enjoying Tom Hardy’s work. He’s quite an excellent actor. Thanks ever so much for sharing your thoughts on this movie. Tom Hardy made a TV series called Tabboo. It’s set in the 1800s and is most definitely worth a watch, even if it’s just for your own enjoyment. It’s dark, grimey a little spooky and his character is so well suited for his skills. Overall great cast and an unusual story to boot. Looking forward to your next reaction and wish you a glorious day. 😊
Hey gorgeous! There is this really underrated movie with Tom Hardy called Locke. The entire thing takes place in a car and Tom is the only actor physically in the movie. It's an unusual concept but it's executed really well and Tom really gets to show his acting chops. Highly recommend
Its funny how the krays are always shown as being the top badmen of this era, but if you actually know the crime scene of this time the Richardson gang was the more feared
My Nan and grandad lived Just down the road from the Richardsons. My old grandad dressed just like this film and looked like he could sit perfectly into this film, hands like shovels
One of my favourite people on TH-cam. Your reactions are fantastic 👏 If you're looking for a little more Tom Hardy but a completely different performance...I highly, highly recommend 'Locke'
For an example of how good he can be, check out Hardy in the movie Locke. It's about a man balancing 3 major life changes on the phone and under stress whilst it's all shot with just him driving at night on a freeway.
@@chrissiereacts thinking about it - they probably still are a status symbol now, but you'd have to be relatively wealthier then than now to import a US car. The car in the movie is a Ford Galaxie 500.
The krays were synonymous with all things American, Hesse the cars they wanted to make the east end a British Vegas by owning the bars and clubs they had
I'm kind of surprised you hadn't heard of them before - when you said at the end 'wait, this was a real story?'. There's been a few films about them, but yeah, real. Often cited as the reason the mafia never took off in London/UK due to these pair.
I'll be watching tonight after work; it's always fun to watch with you, Chrissie. You should see the 1990 film, The Krays. These two films balance each other out quite nicely, the 1990 film being far more sinister and hinting at the paranormal. You are very cute and sweet. 🥰😘🤭 xxx
Some of us Brits would say "Smash the granny out of you" which can also refer to an term for fighting. " knock the granny out of you" has to be the original idiom(it also means other things in which it is useful to check out)
When you have space for a new show Boardwalk Empire is really good with some amazing characters. It's set in the 1920s and the prohibition era gangsters Al Capone and the like
One of my relatives used to know their brother Charlie Kray(I didn't even know there was another brother). She was telling us about her times in London and Charlie came up. They used to go out to one of the clubs owned by the Krays, and he often offered to have one of the lads walk the girls home to ensure they got back safe. She said he would say "Make sure my girls get back home safe" and they would think "Your girls?". she still has some Christmas cards from the Kray family 😂
Really then why doesn't he challenge himself by playing other roles Instead of tough guys all the time, Bronson, bane. Warrior, lawless legend. Capone, all tough guys roles. Why no. Musical dramas by the great actor, Or no comedy's by the great actor, Cause he can only play tough guys
Yep true story. Also, remember Bronson? He actually knew The Kray Twins, Reggie at least, they were in the same prison. And Tom Hardy played them all 😉🙂
Hey Chrissie - You should check out the 1990 "The Krays" film with Martin and Gary Kemp as the brothers, for me always feel like the better film but probably due to familiarity more than anything as Tom Hardy's performance is brilliant. Funnily enough I drove past The Blind Begger (The London Pub in the film where Ronnie Kray murdered George Cornell in full view of witnesses) yesterday as down in London for a work meeting.
I learned my second language as an adult, but watching London crime movies as a teenager felt like a bit of a prelude. British slang is so bizarre and so extensive that almost everything said is either a figure of speech or a slang word. You could take years of English as a non-native speaker and become fluent in the language, but if you found yourself in that culture it would be like you learned Spanish to go to Portugal. I was in South America volunteering at a conservation camp in the Peruvian rainforest. I was talking to a local who spoke English when a guy from London walked by us and said, "Oi, my telly's done a runnner. Could you give it a bell?" The Peruvian guy had no idea what that sentence could even possibly mean and he told me that I was actually trilingual for understanding "whatever the fuck language that just was." I couldn't "give it a bell" because we were about as far from civilization as you can possibly be without going to space. I reminded him of that and he rolled his eyes, laughed and called himself a "prat," which got me another sidelong look and a chuckle from the Peruvian. I expressed that there was also slang in Peru and he was like, "Yeah, but we didn't overhaul our entire Castellano language to come up with it. Quechua is even better. That's a language where people say exactly what they mean, and best of all it didn't arrive in this place by way of genocide." Listening to the locals hate on the Spanish was so fun. They won't even call their own language "Spanish," instead referring to it by its regional dialect, and young people in that country are very focused on learning Quechua so that they don't have to speak the language of their imperialist oppressors. Fuck, I miss Peru. Nothing will make you understand how shallow our own culture is like living there. It's a place where you can buy mescaline in a market, take it, walk out into the hills higher than freaking God, stumble across an ancient ruin that isn't even on a map, much less does it come with tour guides or entrance fees, and meet a local stranger, also tripping their face off. There you'll have a great conversation about history and spirituality or just a nod and a subtle exchange of unspoken understanding. That's Peru. That is, most significantly, NOT the United States. I'm going to die there. I'm determined. My final days will be in Cusco.
yep this is true story and gangsters was more know as The Firms in the uk and they was tended to be loved by there community as they often put money back into the community like the Kray twins in this move donated money to a ton of things like Repton Boys Club a boxing club, the fighting tended not to spill over into the public and was often against each other
Damn, I can't believe you just called me stupid 😂 That's the whole point of my comment. That's why it was so weird that wasn't the case in this movie. Others have explained that this was an imported American car and that's why the steering wheel was on the "North American" side.
Tom did do a good job playing both characters but i think eddie murphy does this best he plays all the characters 😂 when yiu realised it was a real story was awsome. I've been in the blind begger when cornel was ki11ed for a pint lol
The club singer is "Duffy", she had a short stint in popularity in the British charts in the 2000s I think, she could of made it a bit further in her singing career but I think the was always in the shadows of Amy Whitehouse (similar genre of music), as Amy become more known internationally.
Duffy was never fully comfortable with her rise to fame. She took a hiatus from music shortly after her second album in 2010 due to a terrible traumatic experience where she was abducted, drugged, flown to another country and raped. Her involvement in Legend marked her return to music as well as acting, but she never returned to the spotlight full-time.
HUUUUUUURRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, good reaction 😂 a suggestion I never see many people watch it but I've watched a lot of your videos and think you might like it "Into the wild"
Can’t believe you thought this was fiction. Even after you mentioned Bronson. 🙃 As another comment to you said… The Krays, by The Kemp bros (spandau ballet) is far better. Billie Whitelaw steels the show as Violet Kray. x

(4:08) She sat on 'the driver's side' because that's a Lincoln - an imported American car, with the driver's side on the left hand side.

The bit I loved about this reaction was you learning that the Kray twins are real people and this really all did happen. Priceless.
@@HankD13 some bits happened, I am pretty sure some artistic licence was used
@@BennyEggs...I knew someone would say that 😳
@@lordcharfield well done 👍🏿
if your on a Tom Hardy journey then "Lawless" is a must!
YES, the next one id suggest.
yeeeeeesssss indeed
Sometimes, reality is stranger than fiction real history adapted
His best by far.
THIS!!!!!
"Paranoid Schizophrenic walks into a bar..."
Fuck me that is such a good scene..

That’s a cool story brother RIP to him if he’s gone otherwise if not wish him the best
This is a great movie. Tom Hardy really gets to show off his acting chops in this one.
He did a great job of making two completely different characters
You’re forgiven. You were spot on with the little Bronson story at the end. The Drop with James Gandolfini is worth a reaction.
The 'shootaaht' monologue, has to be one of my favourite Tom Hardy moments. Have you seen lawless? Hardy, pierce, labouef etc it's well worth a watch.
Lawless is highly under rated and never spoken about. Amazing film with amazing actors all round
@@beardedloon77 Screenplay and music by Nick Cave.
Personally i think the mini series called Taboo is my fav Hardy content. Supposedly 2 more "seasons" coming also after the long hiatus.
Crazy how few people know about Taboo.
Taboo is amazing
Wait what, there is more?
I have watched them all so many times.
Taboo was a great show.
8:14 - Hate to break it to you Chrissie, but your eyes lit up and twinkled when Reggie bit the guy's ear off. 😆
lol Chrissie enjoyed that a little too much😆
The woman singing is Duffy. She’s an actual artist, one of her best songs worth checking out is Warwick Avenue. Quality song, love the content and wishing you well from England🏴🇺🇸
Horrific what happened to her 😔
I have to say the cheeky look on your face during the, um, punishment scenes spoke volumes lol

Taboo season 1.
Tom Hardy is exceptional in this mini series
It's on a Patreon poll right now. Will find out tomorrow if it wins!
Ben Mendelssohn is an amazing Australian actor. The year my voice broke with Noah Taylor written by John Duigan. In regards to Joel Edgerton. A very under rated Australian film called Praise. Staring Peter Fenton from the band Crow. A great depiction of toxic behaviour and relationships
You should try Martina Coles The Take with Tom Hardy. 4 part mini series. Brilliant !
Lawless is another one based on a true story and is amazing. I know folks who were in the profession and they loved the movie and books.
Taboo is a good tv show with Tom Hardy
Essential for any Hardy fan is BBC/Netflix Peaky Blinders. A feature film is about to be released too.
He's in that?? I had no idea.
@@chrissiereacts He sure is and he is brilliant in it. So is Cillian Murphy and the whole cast more or less. That show starts a bit slow but it gets INCREDIBLE.
Truth is stranger than fiction. Once again this movie proves that.

The Krays (1990) with Martin + Gary Kemp definitely worth a watch as well 👍
Yes it's excellent
You should watch Taboo, a 2017, 8 part period drama set in 1814 with Tom Hardy, him and his father wrote it. It's excellent.
I agree
Glad you're enjoying the cinematography, Chrissie. It's by a nice chap I actually know - Dick Pope BSC.
Cool movie. Tom is a talented boy. If you haven't seen it I highly recommend The Drop. Hardy is awesome and understated and James Gandolfini is tragically brilliant.
Underrated movie.
Great movie. Tom Hardy, Noomi Rapace, and the late great James Gandolfini were all awesome in that movie.
I always liked this movie for lots of good reasons (Tom Hardy and rest of the cast, and the storytelling quality) but I always felt it didn't quite understand where all this violence and desperate crime came from. It came from poverty. No one had any money in east London or in any major British inner cities in those days.

Another Tom Hardy movie I always liked is "Lawless." It has Shia lebouf as well. It's about a family of moonshiners
I've heard great things. High on my list!
So enjoyable watching this with you, Chrissie. Thank you, darlin'!
🥪🤗
The Krays were real as was Bronson - Tom Hardy is an acting Legend
Locke - entire film of Hardy driving & talking to a phone. That's it. Its superb.
Agree. Love it.
Really doesn't feel like an hour and a half of a man in a car. Shows his pedigree in my opinion
Great film, but not sure it'd make a great reaction due to the setup - definitely worthwhile watching though.
@@wulfgold maybe not on here. Although I'd pay the patron to see the full film reaction without a doubt
@@jakemorrison8507 most certainly worth seeing it - incredibly tense and I really like the setup.
Locke is amazing. Very very few actors can do that part.
Not sure you could react to it though

I don’t think it’s been mentioned before but a really great Tom Hardy film which doesn’t get anywhere near the love it should is The Drop.
Hey Chrissie, I’m happy you’re enjoying Tom Hardy’s work. He’s quite an excellent actor. Thanks ever so much for sharing your thoughts on this movie.

For a great Tom Hardy movie, I would highly recommend "Lawless".
Just watched it on Pateron earlier this week! :)
Like a few people have mentioned on these comments my favourite Tom Hardy movie is Lawless. Also a great performance from Shia LaBeouf .
Its funny how the krays are always shown as being the top badmen of this era, but if you actually know the crime scene of this time the Richardson gang was the more feared
You seem to like raw energy, so please consider Romper Stomper 1992 (Russell Crowe) or Bad Boys 1983 (Sean Penn).
Fark id forgotten about that movie.
Luv "Romper Stomper"! "Skinhead, Skinhead getting really pissed........🎵🎶🎼"
My Nan and grandad lived Just down the road from the Richardsons. My old grandad dressed just like this film and looked like he could sit perfectly into this film, hands like shovels

Emily Browning, who plays the role of Frances, was born here in Melbourne Australia.
@24:15. I always pick that up. Charlie was talking about the floods 😅
Taboo the series is also a must watch. Unfortunately there's only 1 season, but it's a good one. 😊🎉
Watch Taboo , its a great tv series in which Tom is the lead actor but he also wrote it along with his father. Its absolutely brilliant
This!!
@pepeleperth its fantastic isnt it from the writing to the cinematography its beautifully done.
Whoa Chrissy, you had a glorious yet somehow disturbing grin at the ear bite
One of my favourite people on TH-cam. Your reactions are fantastic 👏
If you're looking for a little more Tom Hardy but a completely different performance...I highly, highly recommend 'Locke'
What makes that knife attack even worse (27:38) is the knife would still have had lemon juice all over it. That would really sting...
🤣
@@chrissiereacts or the fact the blood was still vissable many years later
Stuart. A life backwards. Tom is Unbelievable in this and it's one of his first movies
When I get asked who my favorite actor is I say Tom Hardy with no hesitation.
For an example of how good he can be, check out Hardy in the movie Locke. It's about a man balancing 3 major life changes on the phone and under stress whilst it's all shot with just him driving at night on a freeway.
Imported American cars were a big status symbol back in the 60s.
Ahhh! Thank you :)
@@chrissiereacts thinking about it - they probably still are a status symbol now, but you'd have to be relatively wealthier then than now to import a US car.
The car in the movie is a Ford Galaxie 500.
I've seen this film many times.. own it on special edition blu ray(never been opened) honestly never noticed the cars until watching this 😅

Stunning Stephen Graham performance too.
That show made me drink so much more, same with Mad Men
There was a movie back in the 90s that was filmed call the krays and it went a lot deeper in to the lifes of them
The twins were played by the Kemp brothers, who were in the band Spandau Ballet.

I reminded him of that and he rolled his eyes, laughed and called himself a "prat," which got me another sidelong look and a chuckle from the Peruvian. I expressed that there was also slang in Peru and he was like, "Yeah, but we didn't overhaul our entire Castellano language to come up with it. Quechua is even better. That's a language where people say exactly what they mean, and best of all it didn't arrive in this place by way of genocide." Listening to the locals hate on the Spanish was so fun. They won't even call their own language "Spanish," instead referring to it by its regional dialect, and young people in that country are very focused on learning Quechua so that they don't have to speak the language of their imperialist oppressors. Fuck, I miss Peru. Nothing will make you understand how shallow our own culture is like living there. It's a place where you can buy mescaline in a market, take it, walk out into the hills higher than freaking God, stumble across an ancient ruin that isn't even on a map, much less does it come with tour guides or entrance fees, and meet a local stranger, also tripping their face off. There you'll have a great conversation about history and spirituality or just a nod and a subtle exchange of unspoken understanding. That's Peru. That is, most significantly, NOT the United States. I'm going to die there. I'm determined. My final days will be in Cusco.
The Kray twins have been subject to previous coverage - and parodied by Monty Python - as the Pirrahana Brothers
yep this is true story and gangsters was more know as The Firms in the uk and they was tended to be loved by there community as they often put money back into the community like the Kray twins in this move donated money to a ton of things like Repton Boys Club a boxing club, the fighting tended not to spill over into the public and was often against each other
Pretty top. Great performance by Hardy
G'day mate. in Australia and in England we drive the opposite to America
Damn, I can't believe you just called me stupid 😂 That's the whole point of my comment. That's why it was so weird that wasn't the case in this movie. Others have explained that this was an imported American car and that's why the steering wheel was on the "North American" side.
the book on the kray twins is excellent as well
Tom did do a good job playing both characters but i think eddie murphy does this best he plays all the characters 😂 when yiu realised it was a real story was awsome. I've been in the blind begger when cornel was ki11ed for a pint lol
I'm related to the Krays, they were a different breed for sure.
Are there any more brown hatters and nonc3s in the family?
Woo chrissie upload means a fantastic day!! 🎉🎉
My father in law was in the prison service and dealt with the Krays and Bronson in his career.
The club singer is "Duffy", she had a short stint in popularity in the British charts in the 2000s I think, she could of made it a bit further in her singing career but I think the was always in the shadows of Amy Whitehouse (similar genre of music), as Amy become more known internationally.
Duffy was never fully comfortable with her rise to fame. She took a hiatus from music shortly after her second album in 2010 due to a terrible traumatic experience where she was abducted, drugged, flown to another country and raped. Her involvement in Legend marked her return to music as well as acting, but she never returned to the spotlight full-time.
@@gdarmo really? I think I remember something like that, forgot about it obviously. That's a shame as I think she is good.
They were legends in their own right but they were a pair of bullies end of , they are the in the best place they can be , 6 feet under !
HUUUUUUURRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, good reaction 😂 a suggestion I never see many people watch it but I've watched a lot of your videos and think you might like it "Into the wild"
Can’t believe you thought this was fiction. Even after you mentioned Bronson. 🙃 As another comment to you said… The Krays, by The Kemp bros (spandau ballet) is far better. Billie Whitelaw steels the show as Violet Kray. x
Legend is one of my favorite movies I love your chanel
Thank you! 😊
Great! Thanks Chrissie!😊
