It’s only a good thing if you can’t get a loan from the bank AND you plan on beating the shit out of people so you can make the interest payment every week. Plus if the lender knows you’ve got valuable property, they’re definitely going to make it harder for you repay the loan.

Perhaps Hatchet had actually won the majority (which would explain why there was only Harry and Eddie left) whereas Eddie over the course of the night had won & lost numerous times to the point where he was in exactly the same place he'd started.

@@johnspence8141 It's an underground game and they weren't playing table stakes, it was house rules so whatever the gangster wants.

Plus the film is somewhat of a homage to older east end gangster films from the 70s/80s, so it does come across more old fashioned, but this is all wild speculation. At any rate, it's a movie, so pretty much they can make up whatever story they want as long as its somewhat plausible.

Don’t think he’s talking about the villains hand

[@abosworth]

Man, I haven't seen this in ages. I've seen it so many times but it's been years. I still have it on DVD. Gonna have to dust it off and watch it again.

[@MrFuzzwuzzle]

Not only is this a brilliant scene its also the only female dialog in the film (except for when she says "alright Ed" earlier on Edit: technically the stoned woman also says “BOO!” I don’t know if it counts or not but the Reddit users will happily call me out on it

Love all-male movies. Lots of classics in that category.

I never even really thought about it

I remember losing a weeks wages at Dudley casino many years ago and know that pit of the stomach feeling when the drink wore off.That was roulette .

Harry: you need half a million. Eddie: I bet my mother's soul. Harry: (sheer heart attack)

[@InfinityandEternity]

OK. The best one I heard (from primary school) was “I bet on YOUR mother's life“🤣🤣🤣

[@dangp7]

I love this move, but fuck me if that isn't the most obvious cheat in existence.

Going in this movie blind was the greatest move I ever made. I was about to watch a documentary on Guy Ritchie's movies and this movie was mentioned. It looked great but I realised I never saw it. I dropped the documentary and watch the movie instead. Guy as such a way with his cinematography and camera work.

What i never got with this was the maths. Eddie brought 100k. The betting got up to 500 with the original 100 included. So in effect he'd already paid the 1st 100k by buying in, so why did he owe Harry 5? Muggin him right off

[@lsporter88]

And that's why gambling with Gangsters and Loan sharks is utterly STUPID. Just don't do it. Great f*cking video.

RIP Jake Abraham

[@ImaJWalker]

That boy was "rolled" the minute he walked thru the front door... the game was so rigged.

[@Antimanele104]

Neutral ending: Eddie just throws the cards and loses all his money he had, but without any other debts to Harry. _credits roll_

[@siatelecomsltdLondon]

The gangster, has been offered a job at the CIA, as head of their very dirty tricks department..😊

[@TheRampagingGallowglass75]

After watching this scene the first time I instantly developed a real fearsome gambling phobia, one that ran deep, becoming a type of fear generated psychosis. People say poker I freak, immediately thinking of this iconic scene!

[@GatsuRage]

Knowing the rules of the game this makes you feel way more anger knowing how he cheated.. cos he didn't beat him by much, just ONE point above.. 7 beats 6 and that's it. However knowing how this movie ends...

[@FreeThinkAlways]

Why on earth would Ed agree to borrow money from Harry and call his 500k bet? By this point he knows he only has a pair of 6s and this gangster boss aint gonna risk that much money on a weak hand. If he just folded then he would just walk away empty handed but with huge dangerous bet above his head

[@soylentramen7795]

Hello my son..... feeling a bit poorly?....

[@JonnySublime]

Writing this scene alone. It’s beautiful.

[@q8venom]

I named my cat "Already Eddy"

[@Da_Publick]

I love how Eddie is goaded into making the biggest mistake of his young life!

[@thom2185]

So he calls off 500k with a pair of 6s.... yeah, great player ... Can see why they hesitated in letting him in the game 🎉
