What are we thinking about watching the 2nd film…? 👀
Over the fucking moon that you've done a video about the film I was in
fuck yeah
yes please - and the old movies from the 50s and 60s, in the following order 'Belles of St Trinians', 'Blue Murder at St Trinians', 'Pure Hell of St Trinians' (though that one's the weakest of the original four), 'The Great St Trinians Train Robbery' (bit different from the others but a lot better than Pure Hell). There was an 80s movie 'The Wildcats of St Trinians' but it's not that good so it can be skipped. But yes, also 'The Legend of the Fritton's Gold'. If you're still interested you can still find Ronald Searle's original cartoons that inspired the movies really easily - one frame cartoons they used to show in newspapers. The first two movies have that portrait we saw at 2:57, mother to the later mentioned 'Great-Aunt Millicent' who founded the school and was likewise in the first two movies. I think she's also supposed to be the bust Annabelle smashes - she was played by Alistair Simms and so was her brother.
Ok but you HAVE TO. David Tennent is the VILLIAN. His entire character is he is a misogynist
Watchhhhhhhhhhhhhh is Crazy
the way i was watching this when i was literally 10 years old lmaoooo
Hahahaha I thought that, I was like I would’ve been… 10 when this came out…. No wonder I never watched it
Omg same!!!
I first watched it when I was 5 at my friends house and dress up as a character from it on my school book day in year 2 lmao
@@SophieFoster chris quilley❤ sophie foster
@@mmmml2546 i did the same thing but my mum let me watch it when it first came out when i was 3 and i dressed as one of the twins in reception when i was 4 on world book day😭😭
Paloma Faith was so iconic in this film. When she suggested kidnapping a rich man's wife and cutting bits off her. That was such a funny scene.
How did I just realize it’s Paloma faith wtf that’s my favorite scene
That movie was so chaotic and even dark at times, american high school movies could never 😍
The ✨makeover scene✨ is literally the best
Bisexual awakening
@@georgiasadventureoflife7142NO FR
That makeover scene literally looks like all those makeover tiktoks to that M to the B song ppl keep doing 🤣 I thought I recognised the pose/etc from something
I couldn’t place what style categories they mixed for her 😂
7:00 Miss Fritton is played in drag as homage to Millicent/Amelia Fritton in The Belles of St Trinians (1954) and Blue Murder at St Trinians (1956). She was played by Alistair Simm (it’s her head that makes up the bust that Annabelle breaks; the picture in Miss Fritton’s office is also of Alistair Simm from the original picture of “mummy” from the Belles of St Trinians set). Just Easter eggs.
Yes! I feel like an important context for these remakes are the original 1950s films and the comics they were based on as well. It is like the British version of the Addams Family - bizarre and beloved of many generations.
I like the old one better, though this one is good too. The girls in the first one were just hooligans, while in the second one they are scary chavs. The first one really didn't make it to the U.S. except in a few big cities. My family was into British comedies, so we saw it at the theater. My favorite British comedy from that era is Make Mine Mink, with Terry Thomas. It's an absolute riot.
I still say that Poppy Moore, Harriet what-her-name and those other Mailbu girls wouldn't survive one day at St Trinians.
12:40 It's a running gag from the old movies that the older girls are all well past their school year. In fact in the first movie from the 50s one was "unofficially" married.
I adore st trinians! I wanted to be a part of it so bad when I was younger 😅 please watch the sequel!!
I don't like the sequel. But I love the first one! ❤️ My brother and I still watch it and we always have a great time! 😊👍🏻
@@HarvestMoon13 Yeah the sequel is weird! The plot is a mess; there's Pirates, a treasure, a legend and the F.B.I. Too many things happened, the girls are constantly arguing which is annoying. In the first movie they worked as a team, nobody was left behind or bullied except Annabeth but then the girls saw she's not a bad person than welcomed her in their group. It was cool, really nice of them too :D The sequel is a mess from begining to end!
@@ladypool1404 I couldn't have said it better! 😋 It is Annabelle not Annabeth.. 😁
Me too girl, me too😂
My house is like this. You weirdly enjoy the madness and I missed it while at university.
The connection between Wild Child and St Trinian's is that Juno Temple was in both films. And Georgia King was in St Trinian's II.
Also, to understand St Trinian's, you need to study Ronald Searle's artwork - he created it all - then watch the 4 films done in the 50s and 60s, and then you might understand why it is why it is...
as a kid i loved the old black and white St. Trinian's, and I love the two modern ones as well,
lol a 2000s gag it goes back to the mid 1950s The Belles of St. Trinian's 54, Blue Murder at St Trinian's 57, The Pure Hell of St Trinian's 60, The Great St. Trinian's Train Robbery 66, The Wildcats of St Trinian's 80, and then the two modern ones. glad you enjoyed the outrageous fun and anarchy of a very British comedy
Still can't get over the fact that the main girl character (Talulah Riley) married Elon Musk...
Whaaaat no way?! I didn’t know this!!
Wait what what what ?!?
they got divorced though. He is married to Grimes now
@@Busenliliex3 👀
@@Busenliliex3 lol, and just a few months later, Grimes and him broke up too..
In the wise words of Tom Lehrer, "Who's next?"
It's St Trinan's, a British girls boarding school - of course it's chaotic!!!
As wild and crazy as the 2007 film was, it respected the original Belles of St Trinian's (1954). Like other commenters, discovered the original movie series after seeing St Trinian's and loved them. The twins' shenanigans were the best parts. Sophie gets a gold star⭐.
This is one of my childhood fave movies, I was ten when it came out as well. I checked last year if anyone did a commentary or a reaction video but nothing sadly. I’m glad someone has now!
I recommend the movie to every reactor I like - and the sequel, and the original 50s and 60s movies
This was a wonderful romp thru the film. Love a good pantomime with Rupert Evert impersonating him mommy and Queen Camilla... and the dog was called Mr Darcy after Colin Firh's Pride & Prejudice charcater. If you ever have some time watch the 1954 version The Belles of St Trinian's where Alaister Sims (who did A Christmas Carol in the same year) plays Miss Fritton and her brother Flash. St Trinian's is based on a series of cartoons by British cartoonist Ronald Searle and there were a series of books that were hysterically funny and work tracking down. Love these films.
Rupert Everett did the noises for the dog too. xD
Loved St. Trinian's. I grew up on the old movies from the... '60s, and I loved them, so I was thrilled when the new one came out in 07. This is 1000x better than any American teenage movie, with the exception of a few (10 things, clueless to name a couple)
Aussie here. LOVE ST Trinians and also love Madeline. I’m also a Whovian.
I have been looking for reactions to this for ages and had the same issue. Methinks I’m gonna have to do a reaction just to get the word out about this absolute masterpiece of cinema.
Fan of Red Dwarf and Mighty Boosh too.
the fact that I know I’ve definitely seen this film but I still have no recollection of any of this happening absolutely baffles me
That's pretty much a blessing, you can see its glory for the first time -- again!
As if I needed another reason to be in love with Gemma Arterton😆
I fancy her so much
Late to the party, but there are several people in this who have been in Dr Who:
• Jodie Whitaker- 13th Doctor
• Talulah Riley- Miss Evangelista (Silence in the Library/ Forest of the Dead)
• Fenella Woolgar- Agatha Christie (the Unicorn and the Wasp)
• Toby Jones- The Dream Lord (Amy's Choice)
No - the 2009 anarchic/subversive sequel "St. Trinians - Fritton's Gold" is the real anti-establishment masterpiece. That's why establishment media entities(like TH-cam) show up far fewer clips about it than they do about the 2007 film.
The "Fritton's Gold" sequel DVD gets 4.5 Star / 90%-plus thumbs-up ratings by the public / buyers on Amazon, Rottentomatoes etc but is given predictably mediocre ratings by "professional" establishment reviewers / film critics.
Go figure.

The fact that I have watched this movie around 15 times scares me- it's just that good
Every now and again I remember that this exists and I remember how obsessed I was with it when I was like eleven.
(Unrelated note, love your eye make-up)
There were multiple times where I was just confused at the utter bizarre nature of the scene I was looking at. Like the possession scene came out of nowhere and leads to some very interesting questions about the universe the movies are based in.
i had the biggest crush on the posh tottie with the blonde curly hair
The fact that the first time I watched this film I was about like 8 or 9 years old and to this day being 18 ... Favourite film ever ❤️
Hahah I watched it when I was 20 when it came out and absolutely loved it!! Went back to rewatch it and some scenes definitely didn't age well for me but I still find it fun little chaotic insanity of movie 🙃
Omg I can't believe you've reviewed this film - I was in this film haha!
Omg no way really???
Wait whaaat-
What clique were u in
This movie is a British masterpiece and should have won an Oscar for best picture
I've always thought this was a really fun movie. And the absolute banger of a theme actually got me into my biggest musical guilty pleasure: Girls Aloud.
The banger of a song during the makeover scene got me into the Sugababes lol!!!
I just found your channel and I'm so glad you reacted to this movie, it's one of my favorites! I found it by accident and the second one is just as chaotic! Just a note if you didn't watch the credits, Colin Firth and Rupert Everett sing a cover of "Love is in The Air" during them and it's pretty funny~
16:40 I'm assuming you've never seen "Entrapment" with Catherine Zeta Jones and Sean Conner bc thats what the girls were recreating.
Also, can't believe you didn't mention Lena Headey who played Cersei in Game of Thrones. She was that awkward new teacher.
Gemma (who plays the head girl) is sooooo beautiful
mrs fritton's costumes were based on a certain camilla in the royal family
You forgot all the other St. Trinians films: The Belles of St. Trinian's (1954), Blue Murder at St. Trinian's (1957), The Pure Helll of St. Trinian's (1960), The Great St. Trinian's Train Robbery (1966), The Wildcats of St. Trinian's (1980),St. Trinian's 2: The Legend of Fritton's Gold (2009). But I've only seen the 1960, and 2007 films.
The Belles of St Trinians was made in 1954. They made three more before this modern version. Sticks to the original premise pretty well. Iconic British comedy indeed.
back in 2005 there was a celebrity love island, only happened for one or two series though
No way?! How did I have no idea… I’m going to need to see that
@@SophieFoster it’s how Calum Best got famous!! (Apart from his dad being a footballer)
It’s iconic 😂😂😂 i cant believe i was watching this in reception 😂😂
This movie shaped my childhood 🤧🤠
I'm American and I love St. Trinian's 1 & 2 more than Wild Child.
FINALLY PPL ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS MOVIE
Omg I watched this at so many sleepovers as a teen!! Or wild child or Angus thongs and perfect snogging 😂 classic early 00s British films
The classics!!!
This was the late '00s. It was released in 2007
Cast: Rupert Everett, Gemma Arterton, Paloma Faith, Lucy Punch, Celia Imrie & Jodie Whittaker.
Soundtrack: Sophie Ellis-Bextor & Sugababes.
100/10.👏
Also Chalet girl is hilarious! Would definitely make a good commentary
The first time I saw this, I had no idea that Cersei Lannister/Sarah Connors was the mousy English teacher.
This being my favourite movie when I was 8 and my parents letting me watch it all the time
Camilla looks like Camilla Parker Bowles 😆😆
Fun fact, the line the twins use when they blow up the shed they stole from Michael Caine in The Italian Job, "you're ownly supposed t blow the bloody doors off'"
Honestly, as someone who went to a British boarding school, the chaos was all too nostalgic 😂
That line about the posh totty sleeping with a member of the royal family didn't exactly age well, did it? 😬
I grew up with St Trinian's and only watched Wild Child recently.
omg this brings back memories :D
idk when i watched it but its been YEARS and your reaction gave me everything i needed :D
I grew up watching this movie I loved it as a child
I've always loved this film, every time I watch it I see something different, and the amount of recognisable, big-name actors you see from back then, or who've made it big now (Lena Headey, hardly recognisable with brown hair and glasses, Paloma Faith) ... Amazing. Oh, and the references - 'Another time. Another country', for instance - Colin Firth and Rupert Everett were in both the stage and film productions for Another Country, a film about a schoolboy romance. The obvious Pride and Prejudice lake reference, too. It's just its own perfect thing, I adore it, and the sequel. Shame the third never came together.
Did u notice when Colin dipped his finger in the vodka, he dipped his forefinger into it, yet he put his middle in his mouth. Also the girl that plays drippy in wild child is in this movie too.
If you didn't know the main goth/emo girl is paloma Faith and i just think it's a really cool fact
When I was way too young, my friends used to watch this and I never watched it. Watched it two days ago, and I so wish I watched it back then. Its great. I'm 20 wished I watched it back then.
OMG I’m watching it and thank you for reminding me about Madeline!
What a classic! I’m glad someone remembered it
i appreciate this video because i used to watch this at a kid like 8 or sum and whenever i try and remember it i couldn’t make it out and now seeing it again i’m more confused that before
Bro Kelly was my sexual awakening
I grew up watching St Trinians omg I love it and also the cartoon you were talking about ‘madeline’ it was actually made from the old movie (not cartoon) version of it so if you haven’t already seen it then I recommend it. (Also I know I’m late to the video)
I don’t know how I came across this film online in when I was around 10 and also living in Ukraine😂 Love it to this day though
I went to a school that was very similar... not a boarding school and not all girls but yeah, I relate so hard to st Trinians
In the German synchronisation Russell Brand pretends to be Russian. 😄
too funny
My Dad and I were trying to figure out where we'd seen the 14th Doctor, now I know! Btw-try to find the comics about these girls when you have the time. I believe it is a comic started in either the 20s or 50s in Britain-and the movies (even the black and white ones) are massively tamer than the original source when it comes to craziness!
I was old when this came out (um, 21) but it's been my cosy go-to ever since. It appealed to every warped little corner of my imagination.
I think this movie was my first introduction to Jodie Whittaker. She was iconic as Beverly (I want to re-watch this film just for her), but having also seen her in Broadchurch, now again in Doctor Who I think I'm in love (I think she was a great Doctor, just a shame the writing was shit for her tenure)
I loved watching st. Trinians when I was in high school. I went to an all girls school, and the camaraderie felt very familiar to me (so did the crowded hallways and general chaos). My BFF and I used to joke that we’d get on quite well at st. Trinians because they got a black belt within 4 years and I knew how to be a good lookout. I was also really good at lying to & misdirecting grown ups (benefits of drama class 😂).
Honestly saint trinians is a film me and my mum watch mainly because it's so much like our family. I was actually watching this quite some time ago and thought let's see how others react to this masterpiece. Americans dont realise that we british invented chaos and madness.
OK, now I have to laugh because it looks like this is your first time seeing this movie and mentioned that it was so British American's wouldn't have seen it. I have watched this movie at least a dozen times and love and I have never even been to the UK.
This was my favourite film
It was fabulous I see why
Legit one of the best films, thank you for doing a commentary
I saw the second movie on TV by chance and I couldn’t stop thinking about this movie ever since. A wild ride but a really funny and excellent movie at the same time👏🏼
When I was 7 this played on telly at like 8pm. And the only scene that I saw was when the dog…. Basically I run up to my room and cried and now I’m scared of lawnmowers.
The movie was published when I was about 15 and I wanted to watch it because of Mischa Barton and I'm so happy I did! I absolutely love this movie!! ❤️❤️❤️ It's entertaining, funny, the cast OMG xD and I'm not even from England. I thought it is well known because of the huge British cast and it is just so different from the other boarding school films. 😊👍🏻 I'm from Austria and I have attended a public high school without school uniforms, so it is kind of exciting for me.
St trinian is actually one of my favourite movie nobody has ever seen
Not what I remember as a kid but it was my sexual awakening fr
These memories xD I can't breath! The funniest thing ever is for me... that my mother! suggested the movie without knowing what it is about... and she loved it more then I :D Think it had something to do with the part, where the poor dog was send flying to the death.... I was mortified and screamed/cried to much, that my mother needed to pause the video and show me over and over again, that it was not a real dog but a stuffed toy. Yeah... she should have watched it first, before showing it to me xD
I feel like the fact that I watched this and the second part when I was young explains how I turned out as I did xD also yes absolutely watch the second one!!!
One of my favorite movies. It's just silly fun. Good movie to watch when you're feeling down.❤
Is that Doctor Who?
Yes, yes it is.
I never knew I needed this
Hahaha I hope you enjoyed!
This movie really was foreshadowing about Russel Brand
and to make it more british the guy tramautisd by st trinians is also in horrible histories
I once got this movie on CD as a kid in Croatia. It remains one of my favourite films. Bisexual awakening right there!
DVD not CD!
Where you can watch the movie, I’ve been trying to look for this movie, by the way, Excellent video! ❤
It still amazed me how an extraordinary actress Lena Headey is.
P.s Played Cersei in GoT and Queen Gorgo in 300
You need to watch the original 1950s films with Alastair Simm as Millicent and Alice Fritton to get certain references and to understand the homage to Rupert playing both parts of Carnaby and the role of Camilla in drag.
Russell also pays homage to Terry Thomas as Flash Harry. It takes more from "The Belles of St Trinians" which is the second film in 1954.
The bit later where they animate the plan to steal the portrait is a reference to the animated openings of the originals.
The overall plot is that they are saving the school from bankruptcy and foreclosure, so they use the trivia competition and cheat their way to the final in order to use the gallery and steal and fence the painting to regain the money.
They sell Carnaby the fake, then make themselves look good by returning the original and getting extra reward money.
All so they can stay at a school for free expression. They learn and apply school teachings, just in questionable ways. Still learning maths and chemistry, just to apply the correct amount of explosives and get a return price on a sale.
Just the Doctor, not doctor who lol 😂
U should also watch St Trinian's 2
i was just watching it
Omg I love st trinians so much not that I should have been watching it at 7/8 but anyhow 😂😂
Oh my goddd, yess this is one of my favourite films ❤️❤️
Finally someone watched this on youtube!
it's been a year but please, i beg, I implore, just watch the second movie.
God this is my favorite bad movie of all time. And it is because of how batshit it is. With every rewatch you notice new stuff that is totally insane
I've never seen this one I only ever saw the first three from like the 60s with my dad
Please do St. Trinian's 2
Your video is pretty much the only reaction video on TH-cam 🤣❣️
I don't know if you still do movie reactions, but you should watch "Tucker and Dale vs Evil"
