Statham was actually a street hustler like that...That's why Ritchie picked up on him...His personality, was what made him stand out...There's a great "the Making of Snatch" Where Ritchie talks about getting all these actors on the cheap. They were basically unknowns.
I really like this guys interpretation of gangster films. No Billy Big Balls ego, claiming how much more violent his time was, just an intelligent review from a real insiders point of view. Note, I believe Jason Statham was a real market trader before he found acting, or Guy Ritchie found him.
He was also a professional high diver for England. There's film of him competing on here if you want to see it. Though in the ones I've seen he messes the dives up a bit n doesn't do great. But still it's a F'king 10 meter platform, not easy.
Such a legendary movie, even though i come up in Liverpool, its all so familiar to me back in the day. This is what it was like, you wheel and deal and do what needs to be done, a game of survival nothing more. Much love Stephen.
I lived in Whitechapel during the period in which the film was shot. Several times I was stopped when walking to or from work in Shoreditch so that they could shoot a scene. Fond memories and definitely, one of my top ten films.
thank goodness for closed captions. the first time I saw it I loved it, but I knew I missed many things because of the heavy accent. (and some local cultural jokes.) the second time I watched with captions and I laughed even more.
I was never in the game but the characters of lock stock and snatch ive met going through life. I love the satire of those characters and find guy richie movies really entertaining. 👍
As someone who may have allegedly gotten involved in some questionable endeavors in the past, the thing I love most about this flick was how it showed the smart, educated, liberal middle class growers as entirely different animals from the street types.
My question (1 of so many), is, did you ever meet/have a pint with The Guv'nor Lenny McLean? Great vid Sir, regardless of your background (so many questions) you can read a film so well.
Interesting that you didn’t mention Lenny McLean’s performance. He put in an exceptional performance. I loved the interplay between Big Chris and Barry the Baptist
U should react to "nil by mouth" stephen. In my opinion the best uk movie ever made. Not exactly your typical uk gangster action movie but what a way to set a scene! Another one would be "love, honour and obey" to me the two most underrated movies out of the uk
When this film came out I saw it 7 times at the cinema with different mates - at the time we was how you say "living the life" & all thought it was a documentary!!!! 😉
Stephen, can I ask if you've ever crossed paths with Davy Hunt? Or Kenny Noye? Both men are well known and highly regarded in your field. I just wondered if you had any interesting stories of paths crossed?
What I can say is I know a lot, and most of the names you've mentioned. I don't delve into things that would cause problems people, that is their business & the past is the past for us all. Glad your enjoying the content 👍😊
Did he take a film class in prison, and that is why he thinks they brought an "ex-gangster" in to break down film and not comment on the crime aspect of the show?

Great content pal, but I found your page looking forward to going over your back catalogue, before the couple of videos I’ve watched I didn’t even know who you were. Just out of curiosity do you have any live story videos about yourself hope to hear a reply matey. Have a good day.

Guy Ritchie's style of film is a real gift to movie lovers around the world
He's okay
nope. hollywood is trash

One of, if not the best British comedy crime films ever! Closely followed by Snatch of course.
In my view Snatch was better. More authentic and I've known people just like every character there. Lock Stock was a bit too melodramatic for me
@@joelhall5124 fair enough, what did you think of Rock n Rolla?
Nick the greek
Gary and Kenny lol
The gentleman is another great gangster comedy movie from guy ritchie.
This wasn't Statham acting,this was his job before acting,street selling,but Vinnie Jones in my book was stand out as big chris
Along with being a high diver in the olympics and appearing oiled up and converting in at least a couple of music videos.
UK Gangster films in the main are always Top Notch, thanks Stephen.👍👏💪✊️
Can't believe there was no mention of Lenny McLean during this reaction video.

Sounds like terry tibbs from phone jacker
thank goodness for closed captions. the first time I saw it I loved it, but I knew I missed many things because of the heavy accent. (and some local cultural jokes.) the second time I watched with captions and I laughed even more.
Thanks for doing Guy Ritchie!
You know scriptwriting
Snatch is one of my favorite movies of all time, so I agree that Snatch did a better job as a story
i think Lock Stock was clearly better than Snatch (but I am glad others see it otherwise)
I was never in the game but the characters of lock stock and snatch ive met going through life. I love the satire of those characters and find guy richie movies really entertaining. 👍
Been waiting for this one, i love Lock stock & Snatch. Keep up the good work Stephen
Great film never see it on tv anymore always snatch which is another great film
what no Lennie McClain the most authentic character in this movie stole every scene
These films always made me want to visit the UK.
Well go on then.
Just remember to get outside of London when you do!
Damn I love Mr. Gillen's commentary on these films. Great stuff. Cheers, a pint on me with love from the Bronx!
Have to say, Lock, Stock, is my favourite Guy Ritchie film 📽️ absolute classic 👍🏽
Loved this review . Very articulate in your description of the scenes and not blowing your own trumpet like many of the others .
Lenny McLean. The Guvnor. Legend.
As someone who may have allegedly gotten involved in some questionable endeavors in the past, the thing I love most about this flick was how it showed the smart, educated, liberal middle class growers as entirely different animals from the street types.
I Love my British Family.!! Real 🎥🍿 movie.! Reality. Forget American cinema 🎥
You are looking sharp as always. You described the film as a professional critic. Please review The Gentlemen to check how authentic it is.
Nice work and good breakdown soldier!
Thx!! That was fun!
Soundtrack is very good. "ROCKENROLLA" is very good, too! Great soundtrack.
The Gentlemen is very good, too!
" It's called a dog Sol!" "I haven't got my bi--noc-ulars!" Some great lines.
That's snatch ain't it.

Yes!! Nil by mouth is unbelievable, some of the best acting I've ever seen.
Ray Winston and Kathy Burke are in both these top top films
@@johnwilson783 They work well together, also Nil by Mouth had Laila Morse (Mo from Eastenders) who is Gary Oldman's sister.
Yeah NBM is hardcore.
The funniest part of love honor and obey I Ray Creed (Ray Winstone) shouts out "fix bayonets"when the shooting eases off
Love this film!
“Keep it moovinʼ on.” (repeat ad nauseum)
interesting stuff! love your vids stepehen.
Stephen, you remind me of a young British version of Robert DeNiro (just look wise) 😂
Did you ever meet any of the Wembley Mob by any chance ?
100% Robert DeNiro lookalike. Thanks for the context, Stephen! Legendary
LOVE THIS FIL....AND VINNIE JONES!!! STING AS BAR OWNER... POKER, DRUGS, THEFT, JUST GOOD OLE FUN!!😎😍😎😍😎😍😎
Stephen, Samson is Ok your reply to me the other day. Thanks.
When this film came out I saw it 7 times at the cinema with different mates - at the time we was how you say "living the life" & all thought it was a documentary!!!! 😉
Very good film this and snatch from a fast paced multi facetted comedy crime point of view, what's guy Ritchie doing now?.
Great review fella, what about lenny mcclean though? Did you know him at all?
Stephen, can I ask if you've ever crossed paths with Davy Hunt? Or Kenny Noye? Both men are well known and highly regarded in your field. I just wondered if you had any interesting stories of paths crossed?
The Adams from Islington are/were also proper top draw no messin gangsters, ever have any contact with those guys?
