The Infamous Kray Brothers: Everything You Didn't Know | Real Crime

Make sure you subscribe to get your regular crime fix: / realcrime
This film tells the definitive story of Britain’s most notorious criminals who, in just ten years, acquired a chilling aura of fear through extreme violence, unparalleled in Britain’s underworld. Their legend continues to be popular years on, as the preview shown below has more than 40,000 views on KZbin! Theirs is a tale of ruthless criminals who led a glamorous existence; they ran rackets, owned bars and casinos and mixed with celebrities. They were at their height of their criminal empire during the sixties; a post war hedonistic mix when style, power, sex, money and class all collided. Despite being glamorised by some, this documentary reveals the truth about the Kray’s, showing them as crude thugs with a streak of depression and madness, surviving only on a profession of violence, extortion and small time criminal activities.

But the little problem for some doing such a swap may be seen as a criminal conviction for the one who was free as well as an arrest warrant for the escapee. But it seems likly that was to trivial for the Krays who likely wanted the reputation.

[@cjmacq-vg8um]

the krays were just a couple of low-life, 2-bit thugs deserving of NO sympathy whatsoever. and the fact that their "neighborhood" continued to sympathize with them even after it was revealed all the violence, mayhem and murder they were responsible for just demonstrated how sick and twisted the "public" can be. but I just couldn't get monty python's gangster skit out of my head as I watched this. the skit about the gangster that went around nailing people's heads to tables. even python's accents were spot on.

[@wormsnake1]

Was Charlie frightened of the twins? From what I’ve read he was street smart, sensible and a people person. Did he not speak to them? It’s too late in retrospect to say “we’ve blown it”. Or was it the case that they didn’t listen to him? So many questions. Did Cornell actually have no fear of them and that’s why he was taken out? Was it a slow decent into madness? Was it madness from the start? Why didn’t any of these other so called hard men “intervene and do something”? I do get the feeling Reggie was compromised by Ronnie-I mean how he must have reacted when he heard his brother shot someone in broad daylight? I feel for the younger Lambriani brother who wanted or help Jack but felt he couldn’t because it would compromise his other brother. No one would want to be in his shoes. The lesson is don’t mess with villains, go the straight road, in the end it will “get you”. There’s a saying “absolute power absolutely corrupts”. I think in the end they got drunk on power and evil took over. Travesty.x

[@MikeGreenwood51]

Mr. C. Kray was so street smart he got a very long sentence in prison. I do not believe he was any more frightened of his brothers than a normal person should be during the fifties and early sixties. But my guess is once the body count started to increase any normal person should be at least a little worried or afraid. Not afraid of the wayward brothers but for them.

Sorry English folk the twins were made by media and villains believed the B.S and where desperate to be close to them. The twins were actors in a movie they weren’t allowed to leave.

I remember Reggie in Durham I was a young curly haired kid and I was freaked every time he came near me, that smile always wanting to do something for you creeped me out.

@Serenity ceraco. There was no probably about them being Pedophiles ,Reg never even slept or made love when he married Francis ,and Fred Foreman had had enough of them calling him up of all days Christmas eve to kill Mitchell then travel a few hundred miles to dispose of him. They were two brainless fools. and I do believe Fred was planning to kill both if they got a Not Guilty in ther 1969 trial. Then they were scared going in to prison so they call Albert And tel him not ask or would you but tell him "we've decided you'll take Mitchell and Iain Barrie will take Jack the hat. And we'll take all the fraud ,Now C'mon they should have tried to help the firm who were loyal as fuck to them. I ca n guarantee you they wouldn't have told Freddie to take Mitchell and ppl say Albert was a grass ,They threatened to kill his wife and kids . They only cut and branded people they knew were scared of them they wouldn't dare tell Cornell that . The Kray story has been told to the masses but their is still many stories they didn't tell like who the others were killed It wasn't Teddy Smith he took off .They were the oddest pair to run Bethnal green and Bow ,and there were many firms that did't scare them Alfie Grerrad Jimmy Moody they were much more dangerous than the Kray.s It amazes me some people idolized a Pedophile and Reg was told to keep away fro the younger inmates and they were known as nonce's to the younger inmates.

@dean simp1 it is but we are still living in the safest times. When people talk about the good old days I think they're delusional.

[@zoedark7101]

@dean simp1 do they kill and torture people? Do they steal from local businesses? Do they rule London and have sex with underage boys? The population in the 50s 60s was alot less than today so it appeared the crime was higher but it wasn't.

Got to laugh at Albert Donahue, the guys a complete fool. Only started slagging the Krays off once they were dead. People on here saying the Krays were nothing. The Krays ran the East End for years and most of the West End. If they were nothing they would have been forgotten about when they went inside in 69. Instead, they were so powerful that they still controlled things for over 20 years while in the nick. It’s fact.

You might find "The Firm" is still alive now .

[@CrueLoaf]

Why should Donahue take the rap for their misguided murders? He's no mug! The people who were murdered, Frank, Jack and Cornell had mutual friends in the firm. And because Kray insanity took over, they were killed. And they still thought they get get away with it.

[@ifiwas195]

CrueLoaf I never said he should take the rap for murder but he knew the rules and instead of keeping his mouth shut he grassed. My statement was about him mouthing off only after they were dead. The Krays didn’t kill those three because of insanity, McVitie and Cornel were killed for mouthing off and saying they were going to kill the twins. Ronnie was insane I admit and if he wasn’t I’m sure they would have lasted a lot longer. Reggie was a good business man and when Ronnie was inside for three years things went well. That’s a known fact and well documented. But to reply to your comment about Donahue not being a mug. Your wrong, he is and has always been a complete mug. He was nothing more than a tea boy who was shit scared for most of his life and as I’ve already said, didn’t start slagging the twins off until they were dead.

[@CrueLoaf]

Preston Guru Reggie was not himself. Francis had just killed herself and he was being egged on by his brother. Those murdered knew the Krays and their associates and none of the firm truly believed they deserved to be butchered and assassinated at close range. The Krays lost the plot at that stage. Even Charlie,their brother, says that. If they had kept their heads down and not courted publicity Reg would have done very well.

Many young actors have played the twins some very well but from accounts and testimony from people who actually knew them they are not even close.They say they didn’t need to speak their presence in a room could turn it cold.

If that’s the case you would of hanged every killer left right and centre, they were very well connected with government and the royals, always look a little deeper
