...it. At about the same Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (LST hereafter) was released and you can imagine the effect that it had on...well let's just call him Mr EECT (you can try to work out the abbreviation yourself). All of a sudden, geezas, motahs, and old Londahn tahhhhhnnnnnn were the order of the day. What sort of impact does this have on a shy, retiring, dignified northerner? I have no idea but it did make me retreat into my shell and mentally ...
...it' pile of films (along with Over The Top, Flood! Who Will Save Our Children, and anything with Chuckie Bronson in it) ("You just had to didn't you?" What? "Insult all those Charles Bronson fans out there. We'll get letters you know" Oh good, that'll help to pass the time). But now it's NOT many, many years ago and I no longer work with a pseudo-cockney annoyance (and 'No' - I didn't marry him either). I do however live with that light of my life ... Read review

Advantages: Every single thing is magic
Disadvantages: Very few

...Madonna debuted with the wonderful Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, eventually following up with the equally special Snatch. There wasn’t much progression with Snatch, and in many ways it was just Lock Stock Episode 2 with many of the original characters reappearing only with the names altered. However, it didn’t need to move onto pastures new because Lock Stock Episode 1 was so bloody good that it could easily spawn a heir without any fear of ...
...fat or unnecessary padding – Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is just perfect in every respect, lean and beautiful and dripping with lust, a truly excellent creation. Some of the cussing and violent scenes will lead the more staid members of our society to quail at the thought of this film, but really that’s all part of the fun, ain’t it, kids? ... Read review

Advantages: Vinnie Jones, a good story, Quality Entertainment
Disadvantages: None to Speak of.

Whilst I was still at school this film came out and over the course of a couple of French lessons in my final year we watched this and I was almost instantly drawn to it. Obviously I was too young to have gone to the cinema to see it but it had been bought for me as a present when it did finally come out. Of course in case your not aware I'm talking about Guy Richie's debut film Lock Stock And Two Smoking Barrels. Of course everyone wants to make ...
...these lads are no different. First up you got Bacon (Jason Statham) who sells stolen goods on street corners. Then you got Tom (Jason Flemyng) who is involved in everything he possibly can be. Eddie (Nick Moran) is an expert card player who gets involved in odd little bits with the other 2. And finally Soap (Dexter Fletcher), a chef by trade and called Soap as he tries to avoid the dodgy dealings of the other 3. However the lads have hit an idea ... Read review

Some movies are just pure entertainment…. There are some movies made, which have nothing but pure entertainment and some passing some hidden message. Movies, like Traffic, Pulp Fiction, snatch and now Lock Stock & two smoking Barrels are different breed of movie, all about guns, money and gangsters. Mostly, these kinds of movie are only for adult viewing, because there is lot of blood shed and use of abusive language. Lock Stock & Two smoking ...
...are very crisp; yeah definitely the pace of the movie will include lot of surprising characters springing up in the middle of the movie and violence. Behind the scene…. Movie, directed by music video director, Guy Ritchie, is made on a very low budget, released in UK with tremendous success. This movie, with the typical British accent (I just love this accent) is really fun to watch. Though initially it will look like documentary but the background ... Read review

Advantages: Great film, and it's on DVD
Disadvantages: It is not as good as Snatch

...poor litter we discover the Lock, Stock... television series. So does it rank alongside the cream, or sink to the bottom of this already over-populated pile? Surprisingly, the series remains remarkably faithful to its source: witness the overly stylised camera-work and the characters with ridiculous monikers (pick of the bunch here being a heavy named Mars Bar for some unexplained reason), as well as the racial stereotyping, prominent homophobia ...
...in seven re-runs of the Lock, Stock movie, and yet this series still provides a certain charm. As many critics pointed out at the time, the reason for the feature film's success was probably down to the fact that it resembled a modern day Ealing comedy, albeit one with an 18 certificate. Strip down, say, The Ladykillers or The Lavender Hill Mob and you’re left with capers gone wrong and comic mishaps, exactly the same basic elements that form Guy ... Read review
