For the people watching this who don't know - one of the greatest things about this film is that Barry the baptist is actually a real hard nut from the east end, bare knuckle boxing legend lenny mclean. There's a book about him called the guv'nor
This film has one of the most well put together plots I've seen. Everything looms in together perfectly and combined with the fast paced action scenes and cockney dialogue its an all round good movie.
So true! Its only as an adult that I can see how fucking shit dick van dyke's cockney accent was whoever coached him shouldn't have worked again! On a positive note in Snatch the woman who works in the bookie's when it hets robbed does an amazing cockney accent and she's american in real life!
Having been brought up in Brixton and lived there from birth, (1943) til I got married in 1969, I can tell you that the dialogue in this film is as true to life as it can be, and the way things were in the 50s and 60s. My late mum was born and bred in Bermondsy and was a true cockney by the sound of Bow Bells. So critics of this film I tell you this, - you don't know your arses from your bleedin' elbows.
+Matt Kilb Really? It's a cracking film. Born, raised and lived in the East End for the majority of my life and other than being an over the top comedy, I can imagine the characters coming from my area
+oldproji I am out of Rotherhithe and to be honest with you i think this is a way over the top version of cockney i know and love. I have worked with people out of every part of London docklands and i have rarely seen people put it on as much has the characters in this film.
And having been born and bred in Edmonton- (or "E'mon'on"- NORF London), and having lived "dahn" there well into me adulthood, I can get your back on that one a hundred and ten percent, mate. Deffo completely legit.

ojideagu Ok, I wasn't trying to say that you don't know what you're talking about. It's just that some New Zealanders speak really fast. And to us, cockney's don't speak that fast at all.
dave474c Well sure most English people don't talk that fast. The fastest cockney speakers work on race tracks and market stalls. Irish people talk faster.
This is Guy Ritchie's best film. Snatch was still great, but felt almost like a redux of Lock Stock. The gritty, the "Lan-Dan" swagger, the coolness and the fantastic dark humour that put a smile on my Chevy chase. A perfect film 👌🏼
My daughter is three, and whenever she comes to me with a picture she's done, or a completed puzzle, I always say, "Very nice, 'arry! What's it for?" She's started saying it now, and it's freakin' hilarious!
Lenny McLean playing Barry the Baptist. Allegedly the hardest man in Britain. Thank you CZcams algorithm for dragging up a 12 year old video in all it's 360p glory.
"Cockney, Sonja, is an area in London where criminals live. The police don’t arrest them because, and they’re very strict about this, because they only slaughter their own. And they have funerals with horses and floral tributes that say things like “Mum” and “Stab”. -Alan Partridge
These guys, some of the stunts they pull. They’ll chain you to a car that’s been clamped, so the only way you can get yourself free is by phoning the council, but you can’t do that because they’ve shoved your mobile phone up your backside.
@@JonSmith-cx7gr This was in the late 80s, when mobile phones were like big black plastic bricks, with a big rubber breadstick sticking out of the top. It was agony!
@@JonSmith-cx7grmy phone ain't small I've got a Galaxy Note 8 it might be slim but I'm sure it's not going up anyones rear end not until I've finished with it anyway
The drowning chap is Tim Maurice-Jones, the Director of Photography having a little cameo in the movie. He also has a cameo in Snatch and gets pistol whipped by Benicio Del Toro in the opening scene. A sucker for punishment I guess ha!
Not many cockneys left in London anymore. You have to travel out to the surrounding countryside to find them. The "London accent" now is basically just a mixture of African and South Asian dialects.
Lennys story is quite fascinating. I recommend checking out the documentary about his life "the guv'nor". An interesting fact about the narrator - he was the cab driver in an American Werewolf in London.
That's Lenny McLean, the guv'ner. A old East end bare Knuckle boxer. Met him a couple of times. Massive hands. Glad I never got a right hook from him. Nice fella so long as your on his good side 😄 may he rest in peace.
Love the gratuitous examples mate. I've been meaning to change up the way I end my phone calls, I might take "Now, if you don't mind" for a spin and see if I can piss off my whole family.
great clip and I agree that ordinarily a cockney would glottalise the /t/ but sometimes they do pronounce a /t/ "properly" as a voiceless alveolar plosive. i've never worked out how they decide whether to or not
If we want to emphasise something, we'll consciously say the "t". E.g. if you hear a mother call her child, she might say, "Oi, Tyrone, ge' 'ere naaa!". But she'll put a "t" on ge' if she's really mad.
Blindin' film. Cheers for that clip, pal. And yep, you're bang on, son: "Liability" would normally be pronounced "Liabili'ee" with a London accent- (very similar to how Barry said "Be'uh", as opposed to "Better.") Take it from a bloke who lived round people who talked like that for donkeys' years. That glottalled 'T' what you're on about ain't just confined to London and Essex talk though. I once had a girlfriend from Sheffield in Yorkshire who used to glottal her Ts and say stuff like "Be'uh" as well.
That could be his phone-voice though. I talk dead posh over the phone as well and so does me mum, but I'm rough as bloody glass-paper when I ain't on the phone. o.o
Few people know that the guy who plays Barry the Baptist is a Shakespearean and a thesbian. I attended one of his art installations at a studio in Soho where he was also showcasing his new line of craft beer called 'Okay to be Gay', as in happy gay not the other kind. His real name is Tarquin and back in the 90s he was well known as the man who ran a rabbit shelter for unwanted rabbits. His reading of Faust at the Old Vic was quite something and you can't help but admire a man who doesn't kind wearing black fingernail polish and a mini skirt. His charity work is also legendary. He once donated his entire earnings from a season of Catcher in the Rye to the women's institute in memory of the suffragettes. Great guy. Really high, gentle voice in real life. Bit of a shrinking violet. Prefers the company of his rescue hamsters to people. Also I think he once beheaded someone with just his teeth. I might be confusing him with someone else now I think about it. I hope he never reads this.
The term Punter has many definitions depending on the situation. In simplest form it means customer. But the term is mostly used in illegal circles like prostitution and the selling of goods on the black market. It also refers to customers who are naive, ignorant or stupid about what they are involved in. The american version for this term would be Johns or tricks in prostitution, or punks. hope this helped.
best start of the movie ever (lock stock...) thats how you start a movie, interesting, intriguing, funny... not boring as hell! if the movie doesnt capture you in first 3 minutes, you better stop it and do sth useful with your 2 hours of life
Love this guy one of England's finest actors yes bit of a thug street fighter loved to be called the guvnor guy completely turned his life around after realising he had a drink problem before he was a actor he was a street fighter and a door man RIP Lenny McLean

He is also the bartender at the Ed's father's pub.

And Ed’s father is played by Sting 😀

Shhhhh, you're gonna have to repeat that
Lock stock and snatch were in my opinion perfectly produced films. No shortcomings anywhere.
Dam skippy
Lock, Stock and snatch sounds like dirty movie.
"The baptist got his name for drowning people for Hatchet"
"AHHHYOOO GON FACKIN PAAAY!!"
Love when he grimaces and looks at his watch while drowning someone. RIP Guv
"Time is money. Money is time."
This film has one of the most well put together plots I've seen. Everything looms in together perfectly and combined with the fast paced action scenes and cockney dialogue its an all round good movie.
Any American wanting to put on an English accent needs to watch this first, rather than Mary Poppins.
So true! Its only as an adult that I can see how fucking shit dick van dyke's cockney accent was whoever coached him shouldn't have worked again! On a positive note in Snatch the woman who works in the bookie's when it hets robbed does an amazing cockney accent and she's american in real life!
Karl Urban could do with some cockney lessons, have you heard his accent on The Boys? Fucking diabolical.
Johnny Depp is the only yank that perfected a cockney accent (From Hell)
he is a fucking fief
@Jakethemuss sorry to sound a intelectual wanker who cant spell but the American accent is older than ours lol

And he got promoted to being a nemesis.

I use Vinnie's 'furry muff' line all the time. 😁
