Tim Roth, with no formal training, this is his first acting role. An absolute phenom, with the kind of talents that can’t be taught.
called keeping it real. more of the acting world should fucking do it.
Lots of ancient 1960s-70s-80s Skins and ex-Skins (or maybe younger ones who weren`t even there) trying to virtue-signal and rewrite history here by pretending they loved Blacks & Asians and didn`t kick the shite out of them given half a chance lololol....I grew up in London in the 1960s-70-80s and remember exactly what you were all like,stop lying.
He's a crap skinhead, nothing like the ones I remember. He's a lefty fantasy - not real. 🤭
@@mjh5437oh so you met every single one of them then?
@@mjh5437I'm in Blackpool where during the 1980s Indian population went in the prom Paki bashing !!!!!!
The blackboard scene changed my life. The superintendent character was well written and even better acted. Great movies are always relevant to society.
40 years on, this remains a powerful performance from a young Tim Roth!
I was trying to place his face!
Yep you can see the difference between true charisma and good acting. Tim has it both in spades.
'Ere. You a carpenter?
brilliant actor. Great in Reservoir Dogs too
42 years now
All these big budget films with CGI effects can never stand up to gritty, relatable and utterly believeable films like this. The acting is second to none and this is one of my all time favourite films.
I agree. Taxi driver
😂😂😂
You are absolutely right, you know what really upsets me though is when they make really, REALLY amazingly made movies and years later believe they can remake them better when the first one looks like it was filmed flawlessly, i.e. Annie, The Wizard of Oz, The Shining(I believe Steven King didn't like the first one because he didn't have any part of making it), Carrie, Footloose, etc., on very rare occasions the remake is better than the original. Peace and much love sent from Ontario, Canada.
So, so true. Hollywood seems to have abandoned this sort of film work for two dimensional, CGI driven vacuous junk.
I remember watching this in my twenties, when it was first shown and being blown away by the performances. No surprise that Tim Roth went on to be a star.
Another film that's worth a watch that Tim Roth was in around that time for TV was 'Meantime' ( czcams.com/video/UXN2v5pkNWw/video.html ). It also stars performances from Gary Oldman, Alfred Molina and Phil Daniels. That one was directed by Mike Leigh. Him and Alan Clarke both great directors, who really brought some tremendous performance out of the people they worked with. Their modern day equivalent would be someone like Shane Meadows. (Check out 'Dead Man's Shoes' by him, a favourite of mine.)
@@kathall6422 ...Absolutely right.
This film is a masterclass in acting. All the performances are exceptionally believable, almost like watching a documentary.
Now they’re tar brush of ‘right wing’ stretches to having questions about arrivals.
This country is being crushed.
@@jamessones4044only by the Nazi Tory party and the effing brexit loons
True. .. and to all brainwashed by media ppl: this isn't about the pigmentation of one's skin (skinhead's bff was black btw) it about - CULTURE SHOCK
example: you hate sci Fi movies, then all the sudden, there's predominantly Sci-Fi movies on TV and streaming!
Do you hate with all your heart sci-fi movies..... No of course not, you just want things the way they were men's and expected to be within reason along with progression and giving allowances to others as you would want as a guest and somebody else's nation/country/culture, yeah?
If I were working in india, and all of a sudden the country was hammering down on Americans or white people or orange people with purple polka dots,
Love Tim Roth. He was good out of the gate..
Romper Stomper is better
I loved the early 80s.
There were thousands of Trevors all over London.
I was in London in '82 it was exactly like that. Skinheads, racism, counterculture, high unemployment, dole queues, the miners strike & Margaret Thatcher...I had almost forgotten how it was back then...This generation wouldn't believe it- for sure.
I'm rewatching cos a friend mentioned it yesterday and tried to say it was stupid cos Trevor, a skinhead gets pally with the black lad. I had to explain to him even though he's late 30s that true skinheads were into ska music, black music and that it's anarchistic counter culture that wanted to rebel against all authority. Only later did it become racist with the national front and combat 18 and they just copied the hair. He pointed out Trevor's swastika saying it proved he was racist. I had to explain that it was just a fuck you to authority in same way the old heavy metal bands used it. It kind of shocked me that I had to explain it, cos of the 90s racist skinheads, he fully believed that the whole thing was a racist movement. It was basically cos of all the unions and closures, kids grew up thinking they had no future in the 70s and 80s and rebelled and absolutely nothing about race to begin with. I thought it was common knowledge but seems the 90s skinheads have changed histories view of them. Even the anti immigrants attitude was all about work, Trevor even uses the word paki a few times but they were against any immigration coming and taking their jobs and even the skies are more just to shock and show how pissed off they were rather than active rsciam
@@martintodd9944 Engineered social division.
It's shocking that the current younger generation are as clueless as they are about it.
I thought the advent of the internet might help people wise up but it means they're actually just even more easily manipulated 🤦♂
@@wavydavy9816 its cos they believe everything they see on social media and distrust normal media cos of Trump. I follow a lot of conspiracy facebook groups cos i find it funny debunking them and watching the responses, but its disturbing what some of these fools believe
It was Bleak
@@wavydavy9816 yeah but it's crazy how skinheads started over ska music, but were later seen as racist, isn't it? And 95% of people don't even realise the skinhead genre started cos of black music, ain't it?
That scene with the black board is amazing.
You took the words out of my mind.....really great scene.
yep.
Its incredible, gave me hope he might actually change!
me too - he had the best handwriting I have ever seen on a backboard.
To do it in such long takes that well, was very impressive
Remember this Classic when it first came out. Tim Roth is a brilliant actor 👍👍👍👍
Legendary style of filming,
Raw,hard and like it was.
@@jamessones4044i think the film works because it isnt really about racism or neo nazism in britain per se. Trevor is just an extremely violent tempered troubled angry lost youth looking for trouble wherever he can, and the far right is likely a desire for some sense of belonging. He befriends a black kid, and largely seems to hate everyone
He was brilliant in "Rillington place" based on true story about serial killer John Christie,the 3 part drama was a remake of the 1971 film "10 Rillington place" which starred Richard Attenborough.
A movie like this couldn’t be made today, everyone would be so offended they’d demand it cancelled!
100 percent
Young Trevor does have a point. You get rewarded for toeing the line, saying what they, whoever they actually are, want you to say, and not rocking the boat. So much of our society IS, even forty years later, total bollocks. The trick is to realise that, and finding a way to live, without fucking yourself up.
I'm a Canadian and I agree with you.
It shows that those in government want slaves that obey without question instead of those that speaks out against the evil's done by those Hosers in government who need to take off eh!
@FelixstoweFoamForge Trevor does NOT have a point! Toeing the line is preferable to a cell, which is where he ends up...rightly so.
Exactly cross, young Trevor is a sad example of a guy living in a country which was built for him and he’s too stupid to get his sh&$t together and make something of himself. Instead, like many of these clowns, they rail against the system, slag immigrants, commit crime all because they are too lazy to get up off their asses and work and want to blame everyone except themselves for failing when everything was stacked in his favour from birth and then play the victim/race card - pathetic at best
its even worse now, that was when society was much better
So true. I got as far as attendance centre like Trevor but luckily no further.
The superintendent's blackboard writings at 21:31 detailing the school-to-prison pipeline are still relevant, although some of the terms are different from where I went to school in the US. Never heard it explained so eloquently.
Absolutely 💯 should be used to this day!
cos yanks dont speak eloquently like eejits like me
Plus you'd get chalk, or blackboard eraser chucked at your head, or caned,
This, Kes and Scum. All superb and really hit the nail on the head
All great films .
Kes was exactly what our school was like.
wow these THREE are right up their with the best well said sir!
Quadrophenia (1979) Babylon (1980)
Dead man's shoes
First time viewing this - wow what a hidden gem, Tim Roth killed it. This all felt so real, if I'd been a young kid viewing this at the time I would have been scared straight. Bravo to everyone associated with the film.
we was!
This was life in 80s England, you picked your tribe, Skin, Mod, Punk, whatever, and it was a tough time. Thatcherism, job centres.
Early 80s Britain captured very well here , we used Sunblest bread bags for our Evo stick . …
We sure did, the little tins of Evo Stick the best glue. 😂🤣
😂 In my mid 50s now and a couple of months ago I bought some evo stick to glue some wood boards together.
As soon as I opened the tin the early 80s came flooding back. Good job the missus was in the house otherwise the gluing project would have been abandoned and the white bread 🍞 would have been given to the 🐦 so I could use the bag 😃
I didn’t even know that evo stick was supposed to be used for wood 🪵 glue until I bought it from wilko 🤣😂🤣
@@ianwhitehead691i remember them Dayz, evo-stick, puncture outfit glue, spray cansLol.... Madness, the specials, crombies, loafers, Harrington jackets.....in 82 i wos 16....... Great days!!!
I was too wee in 82 to experience the joys of evo-stick but mum will always remember me enjoying the whiff of ⭐⭐⭐⭐ whilst she filled up her Mini Mayfair. I always made sure to help out at the pump!
lost my viginity to a glue sniffing girl at a bus stop
Never seen this before, Tim Roth should have an Oscar
One of my first films we tim roth what a guy x
I saw this when I was 18. Its as hard hitting now, as is was then. Maybe even more so. A classic film.
“UK ‘82” by The Exploited was just sheer genius for that opening scene….🇬🇧🤛
Fuck yeah banger of a tune.
@@allanmacmillan7287yeah mate gotta be their best one...fuck the usa, daily news,germs..what a piece of wax.
Sorry Steve but it wasn't a master piece in music as the film is about a racist skinhead and the Exploited are punk. i know why don't we do a movie about jazz but in the background play hip-hop..get what i'm saying my friend? and as an ex-skin i'm sick to the fcuking teeth of these types of movie..Made in Britain, Romper Stomper, American X, This is England.. ALWAYS portraying the skinhead as a nazi..bit difficult when the original skinhead music was JAMAICAN SKA.
Damn right.
@@KerrMarrin-vn1kv, TBh, I think the choice of the Exploited was more about just how bloody furious we all were back then, no matter if we were punks, skins or whatever. Personally speaking, I spent the '80s in a state of near constant hopeless rage. BUT, to return to your point, I knew a few Skins, and the "racist" tag certainly didn't apply to them.
Excellent movie
I remember it from back in day.
I was 16 when this came out one of the best years of my life ,
Back in the day when the job center didn’t require what they do now.
my brother 14 ,
He was a skinhead himself.
One of my favorite movies
Tim Roth is an awesome actor
Golden lost film moments, thanks for the upload. ♥
A masterpiece ...Tim Roth should have got every award going for this.
And the guy from the Bill is in it!!!
If the premise of this film was anything less than outrageous in 1982, I wonder how many more young 'Trevors' there are in Britain today that find this character relatable?
More so when you've given up your capital city.
Controlled immigration is great for any strong society we have just had so much it's damaged our culture and society irreparably forever. There in no fixing it, it will only ever get worse
they all feel cheated, really you fall into this behavior out of protection for yourself they are not to be blamed
@@wilihey1425They don't feel cheated, they ARE cheated.
Let’s not forget the Errols too. Whilst someone would like to widen the divide between Trevors and Errols, there’s one thing that remains objectively true: they have more in common on the basis of class than they have differences.
Great acting from tim roth no one could of performed this role better than him so good
Seriously underrated masterpiece.
Tim Roth is playing a totally unpleasant character with no redeeming qualities and still manages to make him somewhat likeable. Absolutely superb performance.
Trevor has tons of redeeming qualities. He's just too irrationally angry and that's tragic. Testosterone kills many many people. Guy like trevor needs an easy job with a cool mentor. Great mechanic there. He needs to know that life isn't hell. Life is hell at this point.
There's a name for that:
"Antihero."
Tony Soprano, Tony Montana,
The Joker, Hannibal Lecter, (etc.)
Murdering psychopaths, adulterers,
violent criminals who SOMEHOW manage to endear themselves to the audience through sheer character.
@@NormAppleton No. Trevor has few, if any, redeeming qualities about him and it has nothing to do with testosterone, because there are women who can be just as sick and mentally twisted as Trevor becomes. Trevor is an example when a bright minded person with no guidance because of a broken system acts out when they feel they have nothing to lose. Trevor is a deplorable, hateful, racist skinhead who unfortunately, because his intelligence, tricks himself into believing 80s British National Front propaganda and becomes a street thug with a vile cause. The saddest thing is that Trevor is told what will happen to him if he doesn't bother to change his behavior and is given an option out. What does he do? He decides to piss it all away by embracing his fate with open arms and take someone else down with him in the process. Rather than using his intelligence to right himself, he neglects it so he can continue to screw up until his fate is in the hands of the police. Not juvenile reform centers.
Finally.... a HD version of this classic! Thank you!
lol it's not HD, it's actually pretty poor quality. Look at the state of the blackboard scene.
@@craigix It's still a lot better than the older / copied uploads on here.
The dialog is absolutely brilliant 👏
Brilliant movie. Fantastic acting. No happy endings. Great soundtrack.
18 minutes in and already for me this is a classic! Bloody beautiful.
My brother was like Trevor back in the early 1990s. He looked and dressed uncannily like him. He was expelled from school way before he even sat any exams. Was on pub watch before he was even old enough to drink. And in and out of court constantly.
He was corrupted by adult national front skinheads while he was on pub watch. He sat with them on the church steps outside the town centre on weekends. They were all banned from the pubs and they corrupted him. Invited him to national front rallies and he listened to skinhead music. God knows how but he avoided prison.
these days he is a totally normal married father of 4 children. He’s not racist and looks back on those days with disbelief of his mentality, and just sees a rebellious teenager influenced by the wrong crowd. I asked him how he’d feel if his eldest lad walked through the door looking like him back then. He really put my poor parents through some shit!
So, blamed his delinquency on everyone else?
@@MichaelKingsfordGray lol, no he admitted he was an arsehole too, but said at some point he just grew up. However the crowd he was in with were all adults and he was only 16 or 17. A very impressionable age, so he was corrupted somewhat, but even before that his behaviour was terrible for which he blames himself
Kicks off with the Exploited...got me right away😊...Tim Roth too
Still got the original recording off the box. Tim's acting is brilliant, the nuances and micro signals he gives off - superb. The rest of the cast too give brilliant performances, some of whom appear in later films/programs. edit- Thanks for the upload, was good to watch an up mastered version, but can't speak about the ads...originally they were strategically placed and only 2 add breaks at that, here they punctuated Trevor's amazing diatribe....pound notes! 😆
I've noticed Tim giving off a lot of micro aggressions in this.
What a absolutely quality film!!!
actors,story line,British life ……
This was me and my mates we left school to join the dole queue in 1982 but I'll tell you something our community spirit was fantastic
Rybbish,I got a job easy in the early 80s,,join the dole ?if your lazy maybe
@@netcurtains think you must of lived in a parallel universe to the one I lived in .
Absolute Gem and Tim Roth is the 🐐
Last time I saw this was in the 80's. All the kids were talking about it at my school as it was well publicised. I always remember our teacher saying 'not all watching that are you'!? 'You shouldn't be.'
Ha, we actually watched it at school in the 5th form!!
Same! First time watching in 40 years! It's brilliant.
I was 10 when this came out,, and Trevor scared the life out of me,, looking at this now, Trevor looks like a kid, i remember the skinheads in Cardiff, around that time, lots of glue bags about.
Imagine what Trevor would have done to Roland if he'd been cast in Grange Hill .. and we thought Gripper was a nutter lol
Oi Oi Oi Punk 'N' Skins 🧷✊🏻
If anything takes me back to the 80s it's seeing discarded glue bags everywhere, nowadays they seem to have gone the way of white dog shit nowhere to be seen
@@iangoldie6396 Yeah the bags can still be found round our way but they're attached to half plastic pop bottles with skunk residue stains.. But its weird that you mentioned about the white dogs eggs that were laid everywhere during the 80s.. I think the petfood companies added a lot more bonemeal to the tinned food because thats what causes that phenomena .. I only just found out a couple of years ago after feeding my dog on loads of bones and his cacka was like sandstone lol !
@@margaretmoore7034How do you explain the fur lining? 🤔
Merci, je n'avais pas vu ce film depuis longtemps 👍🙏Tim Roth est magistral!!
a truly great film, very much 'of the era' - gritty British realism, Alan Clarke the innovative director & Tim Roth is magnificent as the archetypal skinhead.... love it!
Classic movie it captured the Thatcher years just right and it still stands the test of time 🕰️
You mean the good old days 🤣
@@jedfra9172 Fuck, NO.
The Exploited still going strong UK82.
The Exploited ❤❤❤ UK'82! Punx Not Dead!
G'day to you! Thanks for this ,wanting to see it for years, Tim Roth is brilliant, when I wore the Boots n Braces back in the early 70s we had no Racial Crap here, we had all folk with us from Italy ,Slavs , German even a Aboriginal Guy who had been living in Glasgow and came back to Oz!
This film is oddly genius
Great Tim Roth, what a good start he had in this one, been in some great films since and this was totally different. Loved him in Rob Roy with Liam Neeson.
I think that not long after making this film, Tim Roth starred with John Hurt in The Hit..
@@pashvonderc381 Thanks, I will keep a look out for that one, John Hurt was a great actor.
@@derekstocker6661 true he was, the film ain’t too bad either, filmed in Spain I think it was.
@@pashvonderc381 John Hurt was in Rob Roy too. Arguably, Tim Roth played the same character (Trevor) in that film too. Once the wig came off.
Quentin Tarantino did crossovers,Ringo should have been Trevor,what he did 12 years later living in America trying to be a modernday Bonbnie and Clyde.
What everyone else said, "brilliant." Thank you.
42 years ago, I remember watching this when it first aired all those years ago. Tim Roth was brilliant, what a performance! The character Trevor was slowly but surely going down the toilet, in real life he'd be dead by now.
And if he not, he'd be watching everything he prophecised cone true.
@@realMaverickBuckley So predictable that there would be dipshit muppets like you unable to think for yourselves repeating the bs you have picked up from the powers that control you. Pathetic.
Quentin Tarantino did crossovers,Ringo should have been Trevor what he was doing 12 years later living in America trying to be a modrnday Bnnie and Clyde.
Most of my then Skinhead mates are dead I went to the army before I got a criminal record good mates good hard days !!!!
21:30 - What a performance... Magnificent acting in that scene...
Geoffrey Hutchings, good actor
Sticks in my mind so much. I went through similar at that age. The acting is so amazing, I've rewatched it so many times.
Roth plays it so well too, the superintendents actually getting thru to him and then he leaves the room, and immediately Trevor goes on the offensive against the other authority figures (all first names with you lot) the way you can see the gears turning in Trevor’s head when he’s about to go from an implicit mention of racism to a full blown rant. Really fucking powerful scene
There are some huge chunks of dialogue superbly delivered.
I watched it when it first came out I was 17 I just watched it again at 62 years old and it’s still as powerful I was skinhead in the 80s and still am it’s away of life
40 years on, this movie still looks and feels fresh. Truly a film that has withstood the test of time.
Saw this when I was 14. The next day, everyone at school was talking about it.
That only happens when a film or programme makes a massive impact.
Great movie. Tim Roth the perfect lead roll. Hopefully it’s uncut. I’ve just started watching it as I type this comment. If I don’t edit it, it means the movie is unedited and as good as I remember watching it from the first time I’d seen it. 😎
I don't know if I would trust myself that much to not fall asleep or get distracted and forget to update a comment hahaha
Tim Roth is one of my favorite actors
I smashed a Jobcentre window in 83 i was angry for the same reasons.
Being a 54 yr old and being in the care system from 1982-1986 Ivan relate to most of this…..I’ve seen every sort of broken children you can think of…I was there for truancy and bad behaviour etc I comcider myself to lame not my mum..,I saw things that I shouldn’t of for a young child but I k ow my life was easy compare to some of the kids in there…..horror stories don’t come close
Yea how treated then boys was bad many old glue sniffer went to Speed and then Heroin
I hope you're happy and doing well now though pal.
I was part of hat back in the early 80s.
Trevor should be careful! Barry once bummed an inmate in a greenhouse when he was in borstal 😂😂
I knew I'd seen him somewhere else. He seems to look much older than he was in Scum, but then Clarke always used a lot of the same actors in his films. Different rapists in the original 1977 Scum though.
😂😂
I’m not the only one who remembers him shooting his load into Davis in the greenhouse then 😂😂
That scene and then the suicide after where some grim powerful stuff...
I remember watching it as a kid and being pretty traumatized by that one... Films are too polished to be believable and real nowadays compared to these gritty scenes and acting
That actor had a very small role in Grange Hill too.
Knew a guy like this since '82, once a Skin always a Skin. Overdosed on Fentanyl last year after years of jail and rehab. That's that.
rip
Time Roth is a classic actor,this film is one of my faves of all time along with "the frim"with gary Oldman not Tom Cruise and also have also look at the film "meantime"which also stars tim Roth,Gary Oldman and Phil Daniels.
Meantime is a brilliant piece of work. Superb performance by Tim Roth. 👍👍
I like The Firm. Especially 'Star Trekkin across the universe.'
Gary Oldman’s skinhead in meantime is priceless!
Meantime is one my favourite ever films 😊
And Gary Oldman in "Sid and Nancy".
An excelent gritty drama, In 60 odd years I don't know how I managed to miss this.Very similar to the hard hitting drama/film "scum" 10/10
Both these films you mention are now Legendary!
I dont know which film sucks more
The best part was seeing Bob Cryer.
Was hoping the plods were going to be Jim Carver and Reg Hollis
"Erroll, shit on his . . . "
Classic!
Best CZcams channel, subscribed and traveled back in time.
England RIP
I used to knock around with skinheads like that when I was a kid and he’s got the character down to a T . Great acting all round .
That social worker Harry was a copper on The Bill lol I used to love that show 😂

One hell of a honker on him,couldn't miss that,decent actor,Sgt Bob Cryer
Yep sod sharing a line with him 🤣
thank you for uploading, I'm impressed
First time watching this film, and it's incredible. I was born nearly 10 years after this film was released.
Great Tim Roth and the clockwork orange quotes are very good!!!
My first time seeing this, thank you.
Brilliant! Early Tim Roth
£23:50 per week, my first wage working as a trainee provisions hand for 6 months just around the corner from where I live. Good memories - shit government, even shittier now.
Isn't it? Bugger all has changed.
Well I got £25:00 per week as an apprentice in 1992 so taking into account inflation that supermarket job advertised at the job centre was a good wage in 1982 compared to what I was on a decade later.
I was one of the lucky ones - I started work in 1985 on the vast wage of £26. 25 a week!
@@paulwilliams8389 My first Dole check back then was the grand sum of £17 per week. Enough to buy about 20 pints. Today, that would have to be about £100.
By 1982 i was on about £35 per week as draughtsman in a forge.
The 80s was the best ❤❤❤
Yeah it looks good in today's age...but living it was different
the Late 80s as it became known was totally diffrent to the Early 80's!!almost like a complete diffrent decade!
@@Ickie71 The music was Stock Aiken and Waterman and house instead of new romantic and attitudes changed.Contradicting myself there was a new romantic comeck in 89,best year of my life after 1984.
Back when Britain was a safer place to live.
Bollocks as Trevor so eloquently said. Britain in the 80's wasn't safe if you were a teenager & wasn't a nice place to live.
Thatchers Britain, now Sunak is doing a great job at rekindling them times, making it a crime to be homeless, even down to making it a crime if you smell. As propety damage, thieft and violent crime is on the increase as poverty is getting heigher, you can push the masses to a point but then survival kicks in, I was the same age as Trevor when the film came out, I hung around with people just like Trevor, they had nothing to loose and like Trevor they knew exactly how the system worked. One of my friends had been sent to Borstal (HM Prison Rochester) for 6 months, I asked him all about it when he came out, he told me he would be going again as he was fed 3 times a day, he didnt mind being told when to sleep, when to wake and it was far better than home life, he stuck to his word by doing lots of petty crimes, he spent most his time just knowing he wasnt going hungry and he was warm. Keep pushing Sunak, I lived through the real rough times where we had nothing and I understand how some were pushed over that point of no return.
Eric Richard is also underrated in this seminal classic. I remember when this was first screened on television. It blew me away.. Alan Clarke was never one to pull any punches in whatever he was portraying
Wasn't he responsible for Scum in 1979?
@@Marvin-dg8vj yes absolutely. He made scum for BBC television it got banned.. So he then made the feature film. Both are brutal portrayals of life in the big house. He also made the other classic the firm.. starring Gary Oldman as a football hooligan.. Alan Clarke was first class
Superb acting by all concerned!
Tim Roth is a legend. I usually hate people like his character but I was routing for him!!!
Yeah. It's a sad truth, that a lot of youth like that would thrive as productive members of the nation if he was in another environment.
The first time I ever heard about this movie was from listening to a rap album called 'Council Estate of Mind' by a London rapper named Skinnyman. He masterfully uses multiple samples from this film throughout the whole album to weave a narrative. It's a really good album!
One of tim roths best performances ever
Having lived in this era, area and society at that time as a school leaver - I can account for the authenticity of the system (of which I had more than a passing dalliance with). Being rolled in a mattress and given the boot was a very real thing. They also used to give you water by holding the cup just beyond the flap of the cell door, making you reach for it, where-upon an officer placed each side would grab your arm pull it through and hold it flat against the door while I third would go to work on it with a blunt instrument.
Funny thing is that the police have now virtually become social workers, and they get even less respect!
Which is the best approach I wonder?
Tim Roth is one of Brian’s best actor by a country mile and that is a bold statement taking into consideration the great actors Britain has produced I grow up in Britain in the 80s and Trevor is excellent example of of a teenager of the time but would last no more then an hour on the streets of Britain today sad , sad , very sad
*Britain's :)
Why would he last no more than an hour on Britain's streets today?
@@jandocherty5834life isn’t the same, things have changed.
Very true, in this day and age he will get stabbed out on the streets with his attitude. In some respects kids now are far worse than in the 80s, less morals. and the line is not clearly set. The police have become soft.
@@x66Hawk66x the kids today have less morals than a kid with a swastika on his head?
40 years later, and everything Trevor prophesised has come to fruition.
🤣
Your not wrong there mate
Imagine if it was possible 2bring back some of the dead, give then a look around.
Think you’ve taken the wrong idea from this
No it hasn't. You're like him if you think like this.
The way he paces from room to room, very atmospheric.
I was 15 when this was released. Great movie.
Lovely to see " Frank "of " Hellraiser " fame... the gorgeous Sean Chapman as Barry Giller way before its release in 1987..they all did pretty well as actors after this
Chapman and Tim Roth are the same age!!! I never realised that.
@@peternagy-im4be i like them both but i was always drawn to Frank ..lol in Hellraiser more..Roth got better looking as he got older i think too 😁
Yeah, but he shagged that poor kid in the greenhouse is Scum.
There is even a joke he makes in this film that makes me think he is referencing it.
I love that, after all the mayhem and anarchy, he still used his indicator to turn right on an empty street at night. 😁
25:49 the look on Trevor's face when the Superintendant talked about a list of insane felonies was legendary....excellent acting from Roth, himself 😂😂
Great Acting, great Film. I call all Hooligans Trevor because of this film, and... my Irish Canadian late Wife's influence. Top 20, very likely. LOL! The short film with Brah dancin to Benatar or whatever was also BRILLIANT!
That took me back can remember watching it on telly years ago.
Wast it a shorter version on tv ….one of the play for today series I think
It was made for TV, like almost all of Alan Clarke's features. As far as I can tell, this is the full film.
An excellent film, Tim Roth with a powerhouse performance. The Skinhead thing with Trevor is a little misunderstood. He's not a mindless thug, he's an intelligent young man who's angry with the system that he feels as thrown him and other young men under the bus. Dare i say i would welcome a sequel. Where we revisit Trevor in 2024.
Oh please, dudes a nazi. Theres nothing more mindless than that
Another forgotten gem with Tim Roth in is called The Hit made in 1984 and it's well worth a watch.
agreed, with terrence stamp?
@@gaz4840yes brilliant film
From is "my beautiful launderette "
Me and a couple of mates watched The Hit when we were about 13 year olds on VHS and was that impressed with the bar scene where he takes on 4 Spanish dudes we made some ninja throwing stars!@@gaz4840
Never saw them.
the past truly is a different country
I don’t know, my area hasn’t changed. You can still rent VHS.

Love the music by The Exploited U.k 82 very appropriate...
Great movies eh chaps I wasn’t born until 3 years after this was made and I’m very upset I haven’t heard of it sooner😢😢😢😊
Srgt Bob Cryer .. I miss the Bill
It WAS good but towards the end was bloody awful.
Sums up the feelings of the 80”s to be honest
Wow Tim is brilliant in this 😊👍🏻… Also early role for Steve sweeney ( plank in Lock stock ) great to see
Still a great movie. Cool upload dude. Cheers.
They really don't make movie's like they used to.
Young Tim Roth? Im here for it ❤
