I agree it's one of my favs for sure the devils rejects and a few other Rob Zombie films most Tarantino movies and a few Guy Richie films being Born In the mid 80s being brought up on 90s films explains a lot I guess

Lock, Stock & two Smoking Barrels, Rock n Rolla and The Gentlemen are another great flicks by the same director, Guy Ritchie

[@famouzamiz]

Dont forget the Holmes movies

[@robertnguyen9493]

Jason Stathen’s audition for Lock Stock was Guy Ritchie tossing him a watch and telling him to “sell me that watch.” Ritchie didn’t know that Stathen use to make a living as a street hustler, so he walked out of that audition room with a job and some of Guy Ritchie’s money

[@Sokalov]

I had to look this up after reading because I didn’t believe you. Wow, thanks for the info.

[@marlonthemarvellous]

Brad Pitt's accent is actually very good as he is playing a Traveller (gypsy) which is slightly diff from mainland Ireland. Think Tyson Fury. I have come into many British travellers in London in my lifetime and Brad's accent is surprisingly accurate

[@robertnguyen9493]

My ex girlfriend spent 10 years on the road working Renaissance Festivals, we watched this movie and she assured me that the funeral scene when they’re all getting pissed drunk is in her words “accurate.”

[@loisthehedgehog7658]

Heard from a lot of other people that his accent was pretty bad and that his mum’s was way better cause she’s actually Irish or something

[@grizzlygamer8891]

Why think Tyson Fury? Guy sounds like he's from Bolton.

[@lord_haven1114]

@@loisthehedgehog7658 guess it wasn’t bad! Actually pretty good. “Many, many gypsies talk a lot like that. It's not a regional dialect, it's just how some of us talk. Brad Pitt was taught by a relative of mine (Bobby Frankham) to fight mainly, but also to act like a traveller, and he even lived with him for a time while training so he could see how we live. So while his portrayal was exaggerated for sure, it actually is pretty accurate.”

[@TheAmateurEditor]

@@grizzlygamer8891 He's from Styal in Wilmslow apparently.

[@paulstevenson9477]

I seem to remember that Tyrone wasn’t an actor. He was hired to do security at the studio and when Guy Richie saw him he wrote the character of Tyrone

[@dapaintbrush6965]

He also knew him from a paint shop just down the road from were he lived.

[@jimtatro6550]

Irish people actually did reactions to people's accent in movies and said that Brad Pitt's accent was one of the best reactions they've heard

It's a crime that Guy Ritchie hasn't been given a chance to direct a Suicide Squad movie. He's perfect for it.

[@DameTara]

I never thought of that, you are so right.

[@darthvader5532]

It would win all the Oscar's.

[@mjl11]

tbh i dislike his big budget hollywood work. producers get way too many influence. his smaller movies like snatch, lock,stock and the gentleman are way superior to some of the hollywood crap he has made.

[@SRS13Rastus]

I've known people with accent's identical to those portrayed, it was this movie that really shone a spotlight on Brad Pitt's acting abilities for me. Yeah he'd done big roles but to attempt this role and the accent and get it spot on. To the point you forget "That's Brad Pitt" and just see Mikey.. That's Genius...

[@mattvsmetaverse]

Yes! Was literally about to say the same thing. I was really impressed with his role, and admittedly, did not expect to be. I thought he was more the pretty boy cookie-cutter role filler back then, and I did a whole 180 after Snatch. Killed the accent/Pikey role.

[@horstderheld22]

He made up the accent because he couldn't do the real one. He talks about that in a couple of interviews. But I think, that made it even better than just an Irish accent.

That shot of Brad Pitt getting knocked off his feet was so incredible. Especially at the time. No one was doing that then. Well, not many.

Gets better. His stunt double for that shot, David Leitch, is the producer behind John Wick.

[@AnglOsAxOn2]

To get that sequence, Brad dived backwards into a tank full of water.

[@likemike751]

The story of snatch was all the left over ideas from lock stock. And two smoking barrels. Guy Ritchie was just talking about It in an interview

"Grasses" slang for snitches like calling someone a grass is like calling them a snitch

Short for "snake in the grass"

[@AlexAmez]

16:40 is still one of my alltime fav. shots in a movie. the combination of anger and pain on his face with that lighting is just amazing.

[@ChannelReuploads9451]

The Story behind the accent, is that one of Richie's films, people complained that they could not understand the accents, so this film, he went out of his way to make sure people could not understand Pitt's accent. Especially Turkish's comment about "Did you understand a word he just said ?" Apparently real Irish Gypsies actually understood the accent :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4Tcc4CKpJJkqcU

Pretty sure most Irish people could make out what he was saying regardless lol

I watch those traveler call out videos. Mickey has no accent compared to those fellas

[@musiclover9361]

"I've got no time for grasses (not grouses)." A grass is a snitch.

[@chrismaverick9828]

In the DVD release there was a subtitle track for "Pikey" where it showed what Mickey was saying. Well, all except that scene when they were coursing. When he started spelling out the details of what he wanted for his mother's caravan, the subtitles were only " ? " Got a laugh out of that.

[@jameshanlon9860]

Brick Top, aka alan davis, lovliest man around. we used to organise my niece and nephews summer fairs every year, it just so happened he was a regular at their grandma's pub. he opened this rinky dink summer fair and made the local news. the parents were all in awe and the kids had no clue

[@whitehead1187]

As an English bloke who loves this film it was great to see you (an American fella) laugh at the same things I laughed at. Just shows alot of the humour is universal despite not everybody understanding the accents. You are right though mate, it is definitely worth watching again to fully appreciate it all. There is so much happening early on you are concenttrating more on learning the plot than enjoying the jokes. Tyrone, Lenny and Vincent in the car still one of the funniest things ever.

[@frankmorris2603]

British American collabs are usually outstanding. All the planets aligned with the Snatch production.

If you want to see _the best_ British gangster film, then that would be "The Long Good Friday" from 1980 with Bob Hoskins & Helen Mirren. It also features a young "Bricktop" & "Hatchet Harry" not to mention a very young Pierce Brosnan .

i've loved this movie for ages but it just dawned on me that it might be extra funny for those of us without british accents. 😅

[@ggold3357]

One of my fav films. Guy Ritchie is fantastic. Gotta do Lock Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels next. "Pikey or pikies" is derogatory cockney slang for gypsy.

[@ilesalmo7724]

And Gypsy is also a derogatory (and incorrect) name for the Roma-people. The name originated because when originally Romani-migrants came to England, the English had not heard of India (where they emigrated from), but had heard of Egypt thanks to the Bible which gave them an excuse to discriminate. Though the people this movie has are their own mix of Roma- and Irish-travellers Great Britain has

[@thatsthat2612]

And never call a traveller a pikey unless you have titanium balls

[@mojavered1273]

This movie is a classic and imo one of Pitt's finest performances ever.

[@ketle369]

It’s definitely rewatchable. First thing I did after watching it was to watch it again. Coolest action comedy ever.

[@lukejonte8379]

This film is a genuine classic and plain, great fun. I'm an Aussie, but always watch good movies with subtitles (especially English or American), because otherwise I miss more than half the meaning of the story and even more of the humour and irony.

[@jhaand]

Thank you for this reaction video. We watched Snatch yesterday for the nth time since 2000. It's nice to see that it still holds up in this day and age for a first viewing. Fun fact: They added the first and last scene with Turkish and Tommy at Doug the head with the diamond at the end of shooting as an afterthought. But this ties the movie so brilliantly together.

[@aleksisuuronen5969]

Good catch with Edgar Wright, he has done pretty much the same thing but with his twist to it with the edit of Avi flying overseas. When it's just fast cut, cut, cut and cut and he is in Britain. Hit Fuzz had samekinda cutting when the Simon Pegg's cop goes from London into the town where the movies takes place.

Brad Pitt absolutely killed it in this movie. Not only is his comedy timing perfect, the scene with him watching his mum's caravan burn is heart breaking. Alan Ford as Bricktop was frightening. If you want to see another GREAT British Gangster flick, I recommend Sexy Beast. Ben Kingsley is phenomenal, and it has so many great lines.

"Anything to declare?" "Yeah. Don't go to England."

It isn't a bad Irish accent. Because it isn't an Irish accent. That is EXACTLY how travellers speak. Best accent I have heard in years.

[@leecollison7527]

Fun fact, the boxer in the final fight scene against Brad Pitt is Scott Welch, a former professional Heavyweight and is from a few miles away from me. During my athletics days, would see him running around our track quite regularly. He's a really nice, down to earth chap too.

[@royw-g3120]

Think he was British champion for a while. Just lacking a bit of size for world class, still makes Pitt look tiny though.

Respect from the UK for taking your time to watch films that have "lingo" that is hard to follow at times, yet enjoying what films should be about. I've kind of dropped out of the Hollywood sphere of big budget, special effects extravaganzas replete with low rent characters (usually in spandex costumes) who spout political and social ideology.
