Class film. Well worth a watch

[@robwilliamson6181]

One of my favourite British movies of all time

[@robwilliamson6181]

@Rick Sanchez C-137 Yep and like most Scottish films its class, and thats coming from an Englishman lol

[@robwilliamson6181]

@Rick Sanchez C-137 Unless there a Rangers fan

[@martinfriel1288]

Trainspotting great

[@Dylxn933]

I’m really desperate for them to make a second film about neds but the theme like late 90s early 2000s

[@ProjectCreativityGuy96]

The film's not bad, but it's one of the most extremely angry and profane movies ever made, especially how some Glaswegian folk have been brought up in the older times, such as the 70s, 80s, 90s, and early 2000s! It's one of the most culture-shocking presentations of the rough parts of Scotland! Films like these really do open people's eyes to the horrible bullying, knife-crime, and the downwards spiral that people should not dare to go through in life!

[@KeeganComedy]

Just thought about this movie for the first time in years. Brilliant

[@EthansCONN]

They should do a 2nd one set 10 years later!

[@smnbee75]

As much as this film doesn't need a sequel... I'd still watch it with great interest.

[@Dylxn933]

Neds aren’t really like this anymore this was proper neds back 10 20-30 years ago now it’s just wee bams running aboot with balaclavas in the toon thinking thier something you don’t get the neds hanging in the corners as much anymore either just no the same

[@EthansCONN]

@@Dylxn933 Aye but this could be 10 year after the first film, so set in about 1983.

[@Dylxn933]

@@EthansCONN would kinda be same style but only ten year remember be better doing late 90s early 2000s

[@EthansCONN]

@@Dylxn933 That would be quality mate!

[@sureshkakaiya1825]

Great movie. I just watched it a couple of days ago. To me the funniest dialogue is towards the end when they visit the safari park. Reply by second teacher - “ You can stay (in the bus) if you want to, I’m going with f.....g daktari here”.

[@ThomasCarberry]

NEDS 2?

[@ninaricks8242]

so what about the scene over the football boots? Isn't this one of the most important, but overlooked scenes in this film! And yet, even the directors still continue to overlook it..., but for me, it sums what this film is about. A scene that sums up 'perception', and class divide... which this film is really about? Is there no way out?

[@roberthunter1]

There won’t be a neds 2 a know Peter well am best friends with his son he’s currently working on the Lockerbie series

[@maxpower1337]

Thanks Peter 😂

[@greyline1012]

I think some Scott’s are like some Irish, they’ve so much history ingrained in them there’s no need to act. It’s all very natural.

[@Filmmaker809]

One of best films from Scotland.

[@barryhamilton7845]

The knife scene where he tapes a knife to both hands is based on a true story from Greenock where a lad actually done it and murdered two people,anybody who knows what happened knows.

[@dickterpene8697]

Swingball with the bottles round the kids neck. Any idea where they got that from?

[@barryhamilton7845]

@@dickterpene8697 Not to sure where that came from pal,could of been a thing they done when Peter Mullen was growing up,it's really about his time growing up.Whereas the knife scene I know about and I know the guy who done it for real,he's still in the Prison,I've met and spoke to him.Martin Compston comes from the area in Greenock where it happened and told Peter Mullen the story and Peter Mullen the guy who made the film, said he was going to put a scene like it in the film.I can remember reading about it in the news of the world that he was going to make a scene about it.But yeah it is a true story,and the boy actually killed two guys and taped a knife to both hands.The lads that got murdered second names where McMenamin and McKenzie.And the boy who done it was a lad called Billy.L from Greenock and it happened in the early 1990s.

[@helenagackowska8398]

oh shiit

[@curlytoes9319]

​@@barryhamilton7845 never happened like that... nobody was running about with knifes taped to their hands that night

[@barryhamilton7845]

@@curlytoes9319 Not what I heard.Ive been in with Billy Lewis ,and his brother Tam I got told off someone else from Greenock.Martin Compston also told the story to Peter Mullen the director of the film and he said he'd put a scene like it in the film.I even know who the guys that got killed McMenamin an McKenzie and I'm fae C/bank. Someones telling Porky's then.Are you fae the Strone?

[@brumbykj]

Standout line for me was near the end when they break down in the safari park..The kid with the glasses is leaning against the van having a smoke when the park rangers turn up.."You fuckin mad there's Lions roaming about all over here" He said..Kid with the glasses says.."Don't worry we ain't gonna touch ya fuckin Lions"..!..Priceless..!

[@Jamiedebb]

Superb film

[@annemariemccullough681]

Great film!!

[@OkOk-lp5sv]

Amazing; this shoikd have been bigger than it allready is. What a movie. Powerful.

[@coldvoid]

One of my favorite movies ever!

[@ortaga7739]

peter mullen so giving, a joy to listen to

[@dickterpene8697]

The scene at the start with the bottles swinging round the lads neck. Is that a real thing? like does it have a name or is it something thats heard of from back then? I've never heard of it being done but Mullan must have got it from somewhere? Neds is meant to be partly based on his early years.
