    I really like this guys interpretation of gangster films. No Billy Big Balls ego, claiming how much more violent his time was, just an intelligent review from a real insiders point of view.
    Note, I believe Jason Statham was a real market trader before he found acting, or Guy Ritchie found him.

      He was also a professional high diver for England. There's film of him competing on here if you want to see it. Though in the ones I've seen he messes the dives up a bit n doesn't do great. But still it's a F'king 10 meter platform, not easy.

    @godbluffvdgg Před rokem +15

    Statham was actually a street hustler like that...That's why Ritchie picked up on him...His personality, was what made him stand out...There's a great "the Making of Snatch" Where Ritchie talks about getting all these actors on the cheap. They were basically unknowns.

    One of, if not the best British comedy crime films ever! Closely followed by Snatch of course.

    • @joelhall5124
      @joelhall5124 Před rokem +8

      In my view Snatch was better. More authentic and I've known people just like every character there. Lock Stock was a bit too melodramatic for me
