I saw it in a small theatre in a small town in Finland. I always read Empire Magazine (a movie magazine) and it was so hyped in it, and a smash hit in the UK, so I had to see go see it. Then I watched over and over again on VHS. I worked in a movie rental, and I think I had this tape at home for like a year. But then I took almost 20 years me to watch it again.

Rob Bryden as the cop who gets knocked out into the back of the van, Nicholas Rowe (tall weed dealer who gets his foot blown off) was Sherlock in Spielbergs 80s flick Young Sherlock Holmes. and Danny John-Jules who was the Cat in Red Dwarf.

The Old guy sitting down at 8:18 is Lenny McLean. He was a English unlicensed boxer, bouncer, bodyguard, businessman and actor. He was known as "The Guv'nor" he had been involved in between 2,000 and 3,000 unlicensed fights and bare-knuckle fights. And was considered the unofficial heavyweight champion of Great Britain. Along with being an unlicensed boxer, McLean was an enforcer in London's criminal underworld. As a respected and feared figure, he often associated with infamous East End of London Gangsters criminals The Kray twins also Ronnie Biggs and Charles Bronson. He was also known in the London nightclub scene as a bouncer, where he often managed security. I’m watching a dvd about him called The Guvnor

Here is a weird suggestion for you, The Hood series. The films are Kidulthood (06), Adulthood (08), and Brotherhood (16). They are UK crime films but from the perspective of kids in the inner city. The first two are the best but the third is a lot of fun too. An interesting watch mostly because it's a different side of the UK that had very little media made about it at the time and through the series you see a lot of actors who went on to bigger things. The series soundtrack even helped popularise grime with a lot of the actors being UK rappers as well namely Stormzy in Brotherhood just before he became massive.

If you want to see the all time greatest British gangster film then I have to point you in the direction of "The Long Good Friday" with Bob Hoskins. The actor who played Hatchet Harry has a prominent role, and the actor who played Brick Top in "Snatch" also features briefly.

Whether or not you prefer this or Snatch, you can't deny that this was a fantastic debut by who would become a mostly great writer/Director.

Lenny McLean (AKA the Guvnor) who played the character ‘Barry the Baptist’ was a real life London underworld enforcer, he worked with the most powerful gangsters in London and was also a bare knuckle fighting champion. He was known as the hardest man in Britain. RIP

Snatch and Lock Stock are definitely shot in exactly the same style, with several of the same actors, but to me the stories were just different enough for me to love both films.

I like to think guy ritchie had so many good ideas for snatch it was easy to make a movie that for the most part stands alone. Some of the "everyone is traveling to the big moment" scenes felt recycled but what are you gonna do? Characters gotta get around from A to B. Usually not a fan of open endings but this is one of my favorite endings in any movie.

Saw this film in 1998 on the opening night in the cinema. Stopped off in the car park to smoke some weed in the car with my mates before hand and we lost track of time (as you do) The tickets we had were in the front row of the cinema (shit seats I know, but being the opening night, beggars couldn’t be choosers) when we got to the theatre the film was just starting. Instead of disturbing everyone we just laid down in the aisle, stoned at the back of the theatre and proceeded to eat all our munch and watch the film. Seen this film countless times since. The soundtrack is well worth buying/downloading as it has dialogue from the film as well as the songs used Great review and I bet you watch it countless times too Happy new year all

When I moved to London 4 years ago, I was living in a Hostel atop a pub. The dude who played the scruffy bearded little dude would frequent to it with a dog. He looks the same but like he has smoked 10,000 packs of cigarettes since this movie.

My mom heard this movie playing once, not being into crime films but curious by the dialogue she'd stay to watch it while doing stuff around the house, saying in the end how much she enjoyed it while finishing a Virginia Menthol, her only one for the day. To catch her later on, sleeping with the ending scene and credits blaring in the background, I'd hope she watched the whole thing again. The movie has this Basic Cable Factor, you'd catch it on AMC, USA, TNT and/or TBS, chill out and late lunch the afternoon with a mountain of Chinese takeout on your plate. In my humble opinion, I think the curated films on basic reveal a quality that most, not all, movies today simply do not have anymore, they're preserved.
