Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) Two Filmmakers react! 1st Time Watching for MAJOR!!

[@orangewarm1]

I was at the premier of this film in London. All the main actors refused to watch themselves on screen and proceeded to get drunk in the bar. I was serving them.

[@gohumberto]

I've watched "Lock Stock..." 20 times. I've watched "Snatched" 10 times. That's the test for me. I keep coming back to "Lock stock..".

[@everythinggamingnow]

iv always perfered this one over snatch. Don't get me wrong, snatch is absolutely great, but this one just pips it for me. Not to mention it had a fraction of the budget, which i suppose in a way allows it to have a different vibe

[@happisakshappiplace.6588]

Lock Stock and Snatch are two of the cleverest movies I've ever seen. Sheer class.

[@kaynetaylor1500]

Geezer is a slang term for a man not a gangster. In the UK, it is used most often to refer simply to a man, e.g. "some geezer was here earlier", and less often as a complimentary phrase, e.g. "he is a proper geezer".

[@spencerarnold669]

UK in the 90s for britpop was very sepia/yellow filters. If you checkout all the britpop album covers and music videos at that time that was an overriding theme. Sort of like the purple pink orange smokey gradient is all the rage now

[@majormoviemadness9927]

Thank you for this very astute!

[@AdamtheGrey02]

The Gentlemen is Guy Ritchie's most recent masterpiece that came out in 2019. Also, The Man From U.N.C.L.E. is a very good film of his as well about 4 years prior.

[@hardestmanalive6988]

​@Have a nice day I couldn't finish the movie its 💩

[@AdamtheGrey02]

@haveaniceday7016 A 7.8/10 with 350k votes on imdb tells me the majority who saw this, loved it. It was an awesome flick. You didn't enjoy it, OK you didn't like it. As for "far-fetched", you think Snatch was not lol. 'Boris the Blade' getting slammed by that car blind-folded then takes another 6 or 7 rounds to the body to finally die. Yeah, Guy Ritchie movies will have that and if it's not for you, then move and let those who enjoy them.....enjoy them.

[@mikeynma]

​@Have a nice day i would agree with you but then we would both be wrong :) The Gentlemen is freaking brilliant. Then again, people like different things so its all good!

[@elias_xp95]

@Have a nice day I can assure you, your opinion is the minority view.

[@avienated]

@Have a nice day just because you agree with your mates on that, it's not an objective fact. Quality does not equal "appeal to the taste of the highest amount of different people" (neither can you say that it's the polar opposite). All of Ritchie's movies have a slightly different vibe, but I find them all great.

[@garywilkinson1422]

Such a good time watching your reactions. I highly recommend Layer Cake if you haven't watched that. Not a Guy Ritchie movie but a great British gangster flick with a great cast.

[@patrickmaloney6440]

Hi guys, really enjoying your channel. If you're on a bit of a roll on British cinema of the 90s and 00's, I really recommend Trainspotting... It is a classic in so many ways, featuring a young 'young' Obi Wan Kenobe amongst others...

If you want true british cinema, 'This is England' and 'Four Lions' are strong recommendations

[@ajivins1]

For more Cockney villains from the past you ought to see the '60's 'The Italian Job' with Michael Caine if you haven't already. 'The Gentlemen' was a more recent Guy Ritchie that was decent. Anything by Edgar Wright has great editing.

[@scottishfm5184]

Also give trainspotting 1 and 2 aswell. Great camera work in they ones

Went to cinema to see this in London back in 1998, remember being blown away, felt totally unique.

[@lordofhousestewart1821]

Samoan Joes bar is The Royal Oak on Columbia Rd East London. Barry the Baptist was played by Lenny Mclean Bare Knuckle boxing champ.

[@Lord_Shal]

This is MY favourite movie of all time!!! Better than Snatch imo

[@jackthehat1093]

It's a tough call but I probably agree. Something about the darker gritter style of Lock Stock does it for me and Frank Harper who plays Dog is hilarious in everything.

[@dougie8747]

Couple recommendations from British cinema: This is England (2006), a somewhat dark but very personal tale about the lives of troubled youths in the 1980s amid the conflux of white working class Britain, West Indies immigration and far-right politics. And Quadrophenia (1979), which is again about troubled youths but this time it's mods and rockers popping pills and battling on the pebble beaches of Brighton in the 1960s. It's set to a soundtrack by The Who with cinematography by the late great Brian Tufano (Trainspotting, Shallow Grave, Billy Elliot).

[@Tom-uv7ry]

This is England and dead mans shoes are two of the best of the last twenty years Shane Meadows is a genius everything he does is Gold all his work is quality

[@bertalach]

Yes! This is England x1000 Dead mans shoes x500! The latter fits into this season of crime films as well!

[@tinyderppotato5410]

I would add 28 days later (2002), pride (2014) and in bruge (2008) to a list of british films :)

[@markharrison6204]

This is england is a great shout for a future reaction.

[@nathanburrows7066]

Literally just completed watching all the shows and film for the first time. Rlly got invested in the characters Joe Gilgun (Woody) is a very underrated actor im my opinion

[@purpleom9649]

Mafia you shouldn't have let Madness talk you out of it, this film is equally as good as Snatch and this film made Richie. Pit did Snatch only because of lock stock and he did it for almost nothing just because he wanted to be in such an artful brilliant film. This film deserves a 10 out of 10 especially given that it cost only £1m to produce and the story of how it got made.

[@AmbeamTM]

Your British accent is better than most American's

[@chrisking6667]

The car door head slamming scene for me is one of the best pieces of acting I've ever seen. The pain and frustration Vinny Jones conveyed in that few seconds is legendary.

[@Rendell001]

Apparently it was terrifying for the cameraman... true story.

[@Jerzeejaylive]

First time seeing this film was in ‘99, in college. Between Vinny Jones’ acting and the music behind it thinking for sure that Little Chris was dead, I almost lost it.

[@AnglOsAxOn2]

He'd just been released from prison he took all his frustrations out on that scene.

[@darthwiizius]

Pfff, every midfielder in England saw worse when Vinnie was playing.

[@coalescant]

Speaking as a southern fairy, your accent was spot on!

[@corneliussmiff2773]

The actor who played Barry 'The Baptist' was a legit organised crime enforcer. Hence, he was well suite to the role. Despite this, he was always admired as a perfect gent.

[@gryphon9507]

The running theme of every Guy Ritchie crime comedy, "Don't use idiots."

[@roywilson4514]

Barry the Baptist played by Lenny McLean was the hardest man in England. RIP

[@pault1964]

[@chetcarman3530]

A Geezer is a guy, a bloke, a mate, dude, an old guy, a regular Joe... just a slang word for pretty much any bloke you're referring to.

[@seniorslaphead8336]

That is true but the expression "Dodgy Geezer" is ubiquitous... hence its connection to crime. Remember Chris Jackson from The Fast Show? "I'm a little bit weerrrr, a little bit weeeeeey, a little bit dodgy! I'm a geezer... I'll nick anything, me!"

[@duncankennedy4080]

If you guys haven't seen it, I highly recommend you watch the film by Shane Meadows... "Dead Man's Shoes". It's slower paced than this, but when it ramps up, whoo boy. Dark and gritty, but with more elements of realism than Guy Richie's work. Both directors are brilliant in their own right, different styles, but sometimes touch on related themes.

[@VisionalHD]

Second this ^ 🔥

[@ilesalmo7724]

Guy Ritchie has said that he wants the camera to be another "character" in many of his films. That's why all of the camera-tricks

This is England is a must to the comment that mentioned, you should check Rise of the Footsoldier also based on Essex Range Rover murders from Carlton leachs perspective. And i highly suggest: ill manors, produced and directed by Ben drew who is also a rapper/singer that goes by plan b. These are a uk cult classic you must do, Kidulthood, Adulthood, and brotherhood in that order. There’s a couple spin offs like anuvahood. 🔥

[@chrissyboi88b]

Fun fact: Vinnie Jones was playing professional football (soccer) whilst filming this, if I remember correctly sometimes they had to prospone or move to shoot vinnies scenes around his matches and training.

[@jacksmith4460]

07:25 It is probably quite deliberate that the cards he has are 1066. 1066 was the battle of Hastings It was a victory of French/Norman king William (the Conqueror) who defeated Harold(English/Saxon king) and this was the birth of the Establishment we have today. It lead to things like "the Doomsday book" which was an inventory of the entire of Britain. This date is as famous to peeps in the UK as 1776 is to USA folk. The English king Edward "the Confessor" died in January of 1066, he died without an Heir. This created a bit of a sh*tstorm, but eventually Harold was crowned king. Many of England's enemies tried to invade (including Harolds brother another King/claim to be king). Harold had defeated Tostig (hos Bro) and another Viking King in the North of England. Both of his enemies had died in the battle in the north. William invaded in the south only a few days later. Meaning Harold and his army had to march down south again to face William. Harold lost the battle and died. The poker playing Protagonist is Eddie. This is no coincidence(Edward the Confessor?). It is fore shadowing Eddies fall and also hinting that they will face more than one enemy in the process, Genius little touch there. Very subtle but brilliant edit: Just realised that "Hatchet" Harry could be represented by Harold dying as well, or even The Viking king defeated in the North who was called Harald Hadrada
