8:19 George: "It feels like I got dropped into the middle of an inside joke, and I'm trying to catch up." Probably one of the best descriptions of this movie I've heard.
'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' was Ritchie's first Film. It's basically very similar to this. Worth watching though FYI - 'Pikey' Is British slang term for Gypsy or traveller
I agree. But _do not_ watch the Special Edition Director's cut, which moves the timeline and adds scenes not in the original to make it "clearer" for some audiences. IMO.
"London. Yeah, you know, fish...chips, cup o' tea. Bad food, worse weather. Mary Fuckin' Poppins London!" Cracks me up every time. RIP Dennis Farina. Underappreciated actor.
The thing I love best about brad Pitt's character is when I watched this with my dad we decided to put on subtitles because of course we could barely understand him. But the subtitles were just ??????? Too!!! It was amazing
My mum went to school with Vinnie Jones. She knows nothing of football, but watched this film and was like “holy shit that’s Vinnie from my class - he was the naughty boy”. I was like, mum how could you not know?!! She never even twigged he was a famous footballer and became a film star. It was just Vinnie from school.
I gotta crack up every time I see the look on Avi's (Dennis Farina) face when he panics, gets on the plane, gets back to America and is asked..."Do you have anything to declare?"...and he says, "Yeah. Don't Go To England!"....priceless! Such a well made movie!!
The actor who plays Tommy, Stephen Graham, is an amazing actor. One of his best performances is in This Is England , which you should definitely check out. It’s hilarious and also deeply upsetting but fantastic
Yeah it’s a word for Gypsies or travellers, ones of Irish descent though not Romani gypsies. Brad Pitt’s accent is pretty spot, mostly an Irish accent but still it’s own sort of thing 😂. There’s a lot in North London, all the different groups of people in the film are too so it’s very accurate in that sense, at least when this film came out 20 years ago. This is like the Cornetto trilogy, you need to watch it a few times to catch everything but it’s one of the most quotable movies ever! 👍
Yeah, confusingly in the U.K. both terms are also used interchangeably for Irish Travellers and Roma (and neither term is nice for either ethnic group)
@@samovarsa2640 well I think people assume that now, so now it’s viewed as a derogatory term generally. Which it is for Romani gypsies but wouldn’t be for Irish gypsies, but I don’t think it was ever intended to be used when referring to Romani gypsies. This might just be all how it seems from my experience 😂
It's funny how as a footballer Vinnie Jones was so completely insane, that he actually had to tone it down to play Bullet-Tooth Tony. Which was only his 2nd role in acting, barely a year after retiring from football. How did he pull it off? Simply, he's playing a subdued version of himself. I sometimes wonder if he was even aware they were filming him.
My mum went to school with Vinnie Jones. She knows nothing of football, but watched this film and was like “holy shit that’s Vinnie from my class - he was the naughty boy”. I was like, mum how could you not know?!! She never even twigged he was a famous footballer and became a film star. It was just Vinnie from school.
Vinnie got into a fight in a pub and was unable to shoot a scene set with the 2 dudes in the car. If you notice the reflection it's definitely a different person tapping on the window.
Love Vinnie Jones. As an American who wasn’t big into football(soccer) yet, I first found him in Lock, Stock once it released on VHS. I’ve seen just about everything he’s done since. But, nothing is funnier than seeing him open 2 bottles of beer with his eyes in Euro Trip. Kills me every time.
"Lock Stock" was a little like the first draft of "Snatch". It's still highly recommended, because it has the same chaotic story format involving small-time crooks and is hilariously funny. It's chock full of fantastic characters including "Hatchet" Harry, Barry the Baptist and the amazing Rory Breaker.
I'd have seen this in theaters at 11-years-old with my brothers and step-father. And it was the first VHS I ever bought, Used from Blockbuster for $9.99 (with my mother in tow to allow the purchase). It never gets old for me; so funny, witty, and stylish, and the characters are fantastic.
There's a video on TH-cam where Guy Ritchie talks about Snatch after rewatching it for the first time in 20 years or something. It's very interesting and he mentions that Brad Pitt worked with dialect coaches and tried hard to get an authentic accent but was never happy with it. It got to the point Richie did for him what he thought it should sound like for Pitt after which Pitt was ready to just back out and let Richie do it. Richie told him to just have fun with it rather than worrying about making it accurate and that go them to a version they were both happy with. The executives however complained that they have Brad Pitt in the film but no one can understand a word he says. Hope you will do Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and The Gentlemen as well
So many seriously good British actors in this, some at the tail end of their careers, some right at the start. Lennie James and Steven Graham being the stand out "young" guns
Finally someone who references Robert Pickton when the guy mentions feeding the bodies to pigs…of course it would be the Canadians 😋 Happy to see you guys enjoy this movie, it’s such a great film with great style.
Re: the fight. As far as I know, they bet on _when_ the match is over. Mickey is so good that the obvious choice is to bet that he wins in the first round, but that's such a popular choice that you barely win anything. But when they fix the fight, they want something that THEY bet on but few others do. So they win the most. And probably few, if anyone else, bet on Mickey winning in the fourth round, so he probably won quite a bit. Guy Ritchie has definitely had a weird career. I didn't enjoy the movie as much as I did 20 years ago but your energy was invigorating, so thanks! If you want more British gangster humor with _really_ dark humor which is also surprisingly emotional and brainy (the director started out as a playwright), check out In Bruges.
TBH I prefer Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels because the stories converge so well at the end. Snatch is directed for a wider audience (US) because films cost money, US actors help etc etc but if you like Snatch you will like other Guy Ritchie crime movies.
@@RexKraemer73YVW & No worries 😎 I hoped that I emphasized 'JOKE' enough that no one mistakes it for a personal philosophy or an actual perspective. 🤦♂️👍
There is no "Snatch 2," but Snatch is kind of like "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels 2." Definitely worth a reaction. Had you seen it first, the introductory scene of Snatch's Bullet Tooth Tony would have landed VERY hard.
This is one of my top 10 movies of all time. Fortunately the DVD has a cockney translation feature, so after repeated viewing I understand what they're saying. I highly recommend Guy Ritchie's first feature film, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
Both George and Simone's reactions to the betting shop scene with the door, were priceless.... George was in hysterics, and Simone had a total W. T. F. look of disbelief. 😂😂😂😂 Please review Lock Stock and two Smoking Barrels next....
Amazing music in this film, particularly the Oasis song during the final boxing match, and the end credits song. "Don't you just know it?! Ah ah ah ah!"
Someone has probably already said this, but for Cockney rhyming slang, you take the word you want to replace. Then take a two word phrase where the second word rhymes with your original word. Finally, you take the first word, and that is your new word. My favorite example: you want a word for a “fart”. This rhymes with the last word of “raspberry tart”. So now you take the first word and you get “raspberry”. That is why when you blow with your lips to make a farting noise, it’s called a raspberry.
My favorite fact about this movie: I owned the DVD and it had a setting for Pikey subtitles ONLY when Brad Pitt was talking. Even then, in the scene where Turkish & Tommy are trying to get him to do the second fight, when he talks uninterrupted for about 30 seconds and says, “have I made myself clear?” The subtitles just say “?????”.
im so glad you guys got the pull door/push door joke in the bookies scene, have watched a couple reactions and thats always gone unnoticed! good job guys really enjoyed!
The Madonna song and Vinnie Jones’ joyful reaction to it was a joke on the fact that (as George thought he remembered) Ritchie had married her not to long before making this movie.
As a guy who's seen this film about 500 times, it's great to see someone's reaction to watching it for the first time, especially non Brits. Glad you guys enjoyed it!
According to Jacksepticeye (an irishman) Brad's accent is really, really close to accurate. He says it's just ever so slightly off. BTW him talking about the caravan, he says he wants that she's terribly partial to the periwinkle blue color with matching throw pillows and shag pile carpet. Lol
Bradd Pitt's accent is totally genuine, he does a really great job. I've gotten really into british culture because of football over the last 10 years or so and there are people that sound like that.
in the original dvd commentary i swear they said jason statham was from austria and they were so impressed he took on the english accent so well (looking back, obviously they were joking to fill up the commentary track). i held on to this as a fact for over a decade until someone challenged me on it. she made a bet with me, if i was right she'd do... mouth stuff, if she was right i'd make her a seafood risotto. in the end both things happened. she played me like a fiddle. mad respect.
Please please please, add the 1994 comedy Clerks to a poll. Written/Directed/Starring Kevin Smith. Some of us cannot afford patreon. I have no immune system and am on social security. Before I was diagnosed, I would enjoy watching movies with friends who had never seen the movies I would bring because I loved seeing their reactions so much. Post-pandemic, i no longer have any friends and rarely do I ever leave my apartment. I don’t know why I’m telling y’all this. Just, please add Clerks to a poll.
My favourite Guy Ritchie movies Snatch The Gentleman RocknRolla Very recommended after see you like snatch and they have very similar Guy Ritchie style
Yeah, that's pretty universal slang in English-speaking countries. Although I don't hear it as much as I used to decades ago. Maybe its use is waning in the U.S. Or maybe I don't encounter snatch as much because I'm married.
Fun Fact : There are two reasons for Brad Pitt's character accent 1) Brad Pitt couldn't speak in a believable cockney accent 2) The whole Mickey accent is a jab at film critics that said that they could not understand the accents in his previous film "Lock & Stock"
George "... they all died so randomly" As Tom Servo of MST3K said (when told only the good die young), "most of us are morally ambiguous, which explains our random dying pattern" sort of applies here too . :)
Snatch, lock stock and two smoking barrels, rocknrolla, the man from u.n.c.l.e, both Sherlock Holmes, the gentleman. All glorious films from guy Ritchie.
20:17 "He's terrifying." I agree. I think Bricktop is one of the scariest villains on film. By the way, fun fact: Alan Ford, the actor, was the voice of Roosta in the original radio series of The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I'm something of a superfan of that, and when I saw this film I recognised his voice instantly. :)
This is one of my all time favourite movies. I'm so glad you guys watched it! Make sure to watch Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels next. It's Guy Ritchie's first fim and it's in the same vane as Snatch and just as funny! You'll love it!
As others have mentioned, the DVD does have a set of subtitles just for Brad Pitt, and in at least one scene, the person creating the subtitles appears to give up, and the subtitles are just “????????.” 😀
The soundtrack is amazing! It even includes Dennis Farina going on the plane and getting to London and yelling at the guy "Sit down and shut up you big bald F" 😆 The one for Lock, Stock is also brilliant.
Most people are probably going to bring up Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels as it is most similar to Snatch, but another really great Guy Ritchie movie you should watch is The Man From U.N.C.L.E. Armie Hammer has become persona non grata in Hollywood for justified reasons but the movie is an absolute delight. The producer of this movie, Matthew Vaughn, went on to direct Kingsman: The Secret Service, but before that he did a movie that was in this kind of vein (albeit a bit more complex) called Layer Cake, which is also good. If you're getting into British crime films in general, I would also highly, HIGHLY recommend Trainspotting and its sequel T2 Trainspotting, as well as the intense thriller Sexy Beast.
George nailed it, all of Guy Ritchie's movies feel like we just fell into an inside joke we we're trying like hell to find out what's so damn funny. Lock stock and two smoking barrels and Snatch are absolute classics from Guy Ritchie. Rock n Rolla is terribly underrated and often overlooked.
Whoa, hey, wait a minute. I, too, am wearing a Globex Corp. t-shirt. Twins! Mine has the logo + Homer & Hank with a flamethrower on it, though. Almost twins!
a "pikey" is a reference to the Romani or traveling people. considered an ethnic slur for the most part. also agree with others, Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels is the best of the Guy Richie movies, great, great ending especially!
Having gone to uni in the UK in the early 00's, this film got quoted. A lot. If you want a Snatch 2, i'd recommend" Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels". It's pure chaos in a good way.
I think you guys should take a look at the TV show Galavant. It has nothing to do with gangsters or Guy Ritchie or anything but I just got reminded of it because it features Vinnie Jones. You'll love it!
You 2 are my absolute favorite to see react to movies. Both of your humors are right up my alley, I love your channel so much! I always look forward to your new videos ❤️
Just loved Simone's expression when Tyrone PUSHES the "Security door" open at the Bookies (a call-back to The Big Lebowski?)! You guys will now be ready to view on YT a short of D@rt4 VaDe3 clips re-dubbed with Bricktop quotes. Hilarious - Bricktop Wars (unless it's been taken down again!). Bullet-tooth Tony is played by Vinnie Jones - an ex-Soccer player with a reputation for violent play as big as Bricktop - typecasting in a nutshell. But brilliant all the same.
Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels was Guy Ritchies first film, which has a similar complex narrative and tone and was what got Brad Pitt wanting to be in this movie. Lock Stock was Jason Stathams first film too, well worth checking out
I remember going to the Cinema to see this and it was the movie that made me respect Brad Pitt as a actor. Playing a Gypsy Traveller (Pikey) just perfect, the accent was insanely good. Look stock and 2 smoking barrels was the the first of this kind of Guy Ritchie film just has good.
There’s a TH-cam video of Irish people watching actors do Irish accents. According to them Brad Pitts accent here was pretty good. They understood the slang and everything he was saying. This is Guy Ritchie’s best film. One of the most quotable. “No thanks, I’m sweet enough” I used that line all the time.
George is right, Pikeys is basically a slang word used in England for Irish 'travelers'. They're actually different from gypsies that are more eastern European but they are nomadic and travel on the road from place to place without settling permanently anywhere (hence the name travelers, by which they are known in Ireland). Incidentally, Mickey's mother was played by a well-known Irish actress named Sorcha Cusack who comes from a well-known Irish family of actors. Her sister, Sinead Cusack (also an actress) is married to actor Jeremy Irons.
2 things. 1- It sorta plays as a sequel with Denis Farina's character (and a funny a__ movie you'll like) is Get Shorty. 2- My favorite "Modern English Gangster" movie is Layer Cake. It is based on a book by JJ Connelly.
You guys should watch "Lock, Stock, & Two Smoking Barrels", one of Guy Richie's first films. In many ways, Snatch is a spiritual successor to Lock, Stock, Two Smoking Barrels, in that they both have many of the same actors like Jason Stathem, Vinnie Jones, Alan Ford (Bricktop), and that they are both crime comedy films with similar style story telling.
Ireland here. Brad Pitt's accent is meant to be an Irish traveller accent. It's not exactly correct but it's as difficult to understand as a lot of real traveller accents, so the vibe works. The fact that his accent isn't 100% authentic sounding could be explained away by the fact that him and his family live in the UK so it could just be muddled.
Snatch is Guy Ritchie's 2nd film, after1998's Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Ritchie's reputation is built on very stylish crime comedies like Revolver, Rockarolla, and most recently 2019's The Gentlemen. Another very entertaining video, and yes, that was Madonna.
8:19 George: "It feels like I got dropped into the middle of an inside joke, and I'm trying to catch up."
Probably one of the best descriptions of this movie I've heard.
Me, An Australian who grew up on a lot of BBC on the ABC, "The fcuk you mean?"
;)
17:37 Brad Pitt absolutely nailed the stereotypical Irish traveller accent it's actually mind blowing
Yeah, I had a friend called Benji whi was a traveler and his grandpa spoke exactly like Mickey
'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' was Ritchie's first Film. It's basically very similar to this. Worth watching though FYI - 'Pikey' Is British slang term for Gypsy or traveller
Yes, definitely worth watching Lock, Stock.
I agree. But _do not_ watch the Special Edition Director's cut, which moves the timeline and adds scenes not in the original to make it "clearer" for some audiences. IMO.
Have to recommend Rock n’ Rolla as well. Doesn’t quite measure up to SNATCH but it’s close in terms of great dialogue, great cast and great action.
That's the most generous definition of "Pikey" I've ever heard.
They're hated in a special kind of way, everywhere they turn up they cause problems.
Pikey is an Irish traveller
"London. Yeah, you know, fish...chips, cup o' tea. Bad food, worse weather. Mary Fuckin' Poppins London!"

On the Snatch DVD, they have a Pikey subtitles option that only comes on when Brad Pitt is speaking.
The sheer chaos of this movie is what makes it hilarious and memorable.

"he was the naughty boy"

He was a naughty footballer too, as Gazza found out when he got too close.
Just google Vinnie Jones grab to see the photos.

According to Jacksepticeye (an irishman) Brad's accent is really, really close to accurate. He says it's just ever so slightly off. BTW him talking about the caravan, he says he wants that she's terribly partial to the periwinkle blue color with matching throw pillows and shag pile carpet. Lol
Bradd Pitt's accent is totally genuine, he does a really great job. I've gotten really into british culture because of football over the last 10 years or so and there are people that sound like that.
You should look up the TH-cam video "Snatch Wars" where someone has used Bricktop's dialogue with Darth Vader and it's GOLD.
Sure... I like dags. And the funny thing is, you WILL recall all those names. The film does such a good job at making sure.
in the original dvd commentary i swear they said jason statham was from austria and they were so impressed he took on the english accent so well (looking back, obviously they were joking to fill up the commentary track). i held on to this as a fact for over a decade until someone challenged me on it. she made a bet with me, if i was right she'd do... mouth stuff, if she was right i'd make her a seafood risotto. in the end both things happened. she played me like a fiddle. mad respect.
2 of the best roles Brad has ever done is this one and 'Burn After Reading'
Please please please, add the 1994 comedy Clerks to a poll. Written/Directed/Starring Kevin Smith.
Some of us cannot afford patreon. I have no immune system and am on social security. Before I was diagnosed, I would enjoy watching movies with friends who had never seen the movies I would bring because I loved seeing their reactions so much. Post-pandemic, i no longer have any friends and rarely do I ever leave my apartment. I don’t know why I’m telling y’all this. Just, please add Clerks to a poll.
“…….because he dodges bullets, Avi.” Is one of my all time favorite lines.
My favourite Guy Ritchie movies
Snatch
The Gentleman
RocknRolla
Very recommended after see you like snatch and they have very similar Guy Ritchie style
'We're going to go look at some Snatch' - As a Brit, this has so much more meaning than just a movie 🤣🤣🤣
It does in canada too hahaha
Yeah, that's pretty universal slang in English-speaking countries. Although I don't hear it as much as I used to decades ago. Maybe its use is waning in the U.S. Or maybe I don't encounter snatch as much because I'm married.
I use that "No thanks, i'm sweet enough" line all the time.
Fun Fact : There are two reasons for Brad Pitt's character accent
1) Brad Pitt couldn't speak in a believable cockney accent
2) The whole Mickey accent is a jab at film critics that said that they could not understand the accents in his previous film "Lock & Stock"
George "... they all died so randomly"
As Tom Servo of MST3K said (when told only the good die young), "most of us are morally ambiguous, which explains our random dying pattern" sort of applies here too . :)
Snatch, lock stock and two smoking barrels, rocknrolla, the man from u.n.c.l.e, both Sherlock Holmes, the gentleman. All glorious films from guy Ritchie.
Brad Pitt’s accent was really good which was refreshing to see someone from Hollywood take on an accent no one had done before and do it well.
20:17 "He's terrifying." I agree. I think Bricktop is one of the scariest villains on film. By the way, fun fact: Alan Ford, the actor, was the voice of Roosta in the original radio series of The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I'm something of a superfan of that, and when I saw this film I recognised his voice instantly. :)
This is one of my all time favourite movies. I'm so glad you guys watched it! Make sure to watch Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels next. It's Guy Ritchie's first fim and it's in the same vane as Snatch and just as funny! You'll love it!
As others have mentioned, the DVD does have a set of subtitles just for Brad Pitt, and in at least one scene, the person creating the subtitles appears to give up, and the subtitles are just “????????.” 😀
The soundtrack is amazing! It even includes Dennis Farina going on the plane and getting to London and yelling at the guy "Sit down and shut up you big bald F" 😆 The one for Lock, Stock is also brilliant.
George's description of the movie as an inside joke is so spot on!
Legendary movie...
This is my second fave film of all time. Soooo glad you guys watched this! It’s even better the second time around :)
The other Richie films to check out, in order, are "Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels", "RocknRolla" and "The Gentlemen". TRUST me on this.
One of my favorite movies of all time, everyone was perfect in this. Vinnie Jones as Bullet Tooth Tony is just spectacular.
Most people are probably going to bring up Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels as it is most similar to Snatch, but another really great Guy Ritchie movie you should watch is The Man From U.N.C.L.E. Armie Hammer has become persona non grata in Hollywood for justified reasons but the movie is an absolute delight.
The producer of this movie, Matthew Vaughn, went on to direct Kingsman: The Secret Service, but before that he did a movie that was in this kind of vein (albeit a bit more complex) called Layer Cake, which is also good.
If you're getting into British crime films in general, I would also highly, HIGHLY recommend Trainspotting and its sequel T2 Trainspotting, as well as the intense thriller Sexy Beast.
its similar because snatch was leftover stories from lock stock richie couldnt fit in
Great choices, I was going to suggest The Man From Uncle as well. I'd forgotten about Layer Cake, a great move starring a young Daniel Craig!
26:40 - That’s why he’s called “the Bullet Dodger.”
Actors who actually play different characters like Brad Pitt are the best. He made this movie, just like almost every other one he's been in
The second singing attempt was indeed on key! It was not the official melody, but it was on key. Good job!
Yep. It was right on key. Not the right key or even the right music, but it was right on a key. :D
@@johnsykes9795 😁
He loves that dog.
This movie is definitely in my favorites,
especially so watching with you guys.
RockNRolla (2007)
George nailed it, all of Guy Ritchie's movies feel like we just fell into an inside joke we we're trying like hell to find out what's so damn funny.
Lock stock and two smoking barrels and Snatch are absolute classics from Guy Ritchie. Rock n Rolla is terribly underrated and often overlooked.
Whoa, hey, wait a minute. I, too, am wearing a Globex Corp. t-shirt. Twins!
Mine has the logo + Homer & Hank with a flamethrower on it, though. Almost twins!
a "pikey" is a reference to the Romani or traveling people. considered an ethnic slur for the most part.
also agree with others, Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels is the best of the Guy Richie movies, great, great ending especially!
Pikey is reserved for Irish Travellers, Gypo would be the goto for Romani Gypsies
Travellers, yes. Romani, no.
Having gone to uni in the UK in the early 00's, this film got quoted.
A lot.
If you want a Snatch 2, i'd recommend" Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels". It's pure chaos in a good way.
I think you guys should take a look at the TV show Galavant. It has nothing to do with gangsters or Guy Ritchie or anything but I just got reminded of it because it features Vinnie Jones. You'll love it!
I highly recommend The Gentlemen, also by Guy Ritchie.
You 2 are my absolute favorite to see react to movies. Both of your humors are right up my alley, I love your channel so much! I always look forward to your new videos ❤️
Just loved Simone's expression when Tyrone PUSHES the "Security door" open at the Bookies (a call-back to The Big Lebowski?)! You guys will now be ready to view on YT a short of D@rt4 VaDe3 clips re-dubbed with Bricktop quotes. Hilarious - Bricktop Wars (unless it's been taken down again!). Bullet-tooth Tony is played by Vinnie Jones - an ex-Soccer player with a reputation for violent play as big as Bricktop - typecasting in a nutshell. But brilliant all the same.
I really hope you also do Lock stock and two smoking barrels (my favorite Guy Ritchie movie) and Rock n Rolla which is also absolutely amazing
Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels was Guy Ritchies first film, which has a similar complex narrative and tone and was what got Brad Pitt wanting to be in this movie. Lock Stock was Jason Stathams first film too, well worth checking out
I remember going to the Cinema to see this and it was the movie that made me respect Brad Pitt as a actor. Playing a Gypsy Traveller (Pikey) just perfect, the accent was insanely good.
Look stock and 2 smoking barrels was the the first of this kind of Guy Ritchie film
just has good.
There’s a TH-cam video of Irish people watching actors do Irish accents. According to them Brad Pitts accent here was pretty good. They understood the slang and everything he was saying.
This is Guy Ritchie’s best film. One of the most quotable.
“No thanks, I’m sweet enough” I used that line all the time.
A film similar to this is Guy Ritchie's directorial debut "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels." Well worth seeing and also stars Jason Statham.
Good to have the subtitles on during the first few viewings.
Brad Pitt's performance in this movie is golden.
George is right, Pikeys is basically a slang word used in England for Irish 'travelers'. They're actually different from gypsies that are more eastern European but they are nomadic and travel on the road from place to place without settling permanently anywhere (hence the name travelers, by which they are known in Ireland). Incidentally, Mickey's mother was played by a well-known Irish actress named Sorcha Cusack who comes from a well-known Irish family of actors. Her sister, Sinead Cusack (also an actress) is married to actor Jeremy Irons.
2 things.
1- It sorta plays as a sequel with Denis Farina's character (and a funny a__ movie you'll like) is Get Shorty.
2- My favorite "Modern English Gangster" movie is Layer Cake. It is based on a book by JJ Connelly.
13:10 felt exactly like you the moment the chair fell in "The Big Lebowski"...
You guys should watch "Lock, Stock, & Two Smoking Barrels", one of Guy Richie's first films. In many ways, Snatch is a spiritual successor to Lock, Stock, Two Smoking Barrels, in that they both have many of the same actors like Jason Stathem, Vinnie Jones, Alan Ford (Bricktop), and that they are both crime comedy films with similar style story telling.
Ireland here. Brad Pitt's accent is meant to be an Irish traveller accent. It's not exactly correct but it's as difficult to understand as a lot of real traveller accents, so the vibe works. The fact that his accent isn't 100% authentic sounding could be explained away by the fact that him and his family live in the UK so it could just be muddled.
Snatch is Guy Ritchie's 2nd film, after1998's Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Ritchie's reputation is built on very stylish crime comedies like Revolver, Rockarolla, and most recently 2019's The Gentlemen. Another very entertaining video, and yes, that was Madonna.
Pitt's accent is very surprisingly on-point, and it does reflect a certain region of mountain folk who are not quite Irish, Scottish, or British.
If you want to see full off the rails Jason Statham, i recommend the Crank series if you haven't seen them
When Doug the head is introduced (walks into a pub) the director, Guy Ritchie, is sat on the right reading a newspaper XD
Lol! George said, “we are loving to look at some snatch!”
