UDSKRIFT 🔗

WEBVTT 00:00:01.040 --> 00:00:02.959 I've never been the best interviewer. 00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:06.400 Uh it's it's not something they can teach, it's something you learn. 00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:10.400 They teach active listening, posture, and presence for effective communication. 00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:12.240 They teach you how to be prepared for an interview. 00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:17.120 Joe Rogan did not go to school, and the host of Fear Factory doesn't give a shit what would make for a good interview. 00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:23.280 I tried to listen to his interview with Guy Ritchie ten minutes into a two-hour conversation, I had to tap out. 00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:26.320 Here's an example of what it's like going on the Joe Rogan experience. 00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:33.679 The other thing about it, which is quite fun, is you can take these kind of mystical rides into metaphor. 00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:42.799 So you you can symbolize things with 300 foot elephants, which you can't do in some version of a realistic world. 00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:46.240 So it becomes you have a broad poetic license. 00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:50.000 This show is presented by DraftKings this Saturday. 00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:52.719 The fight is on, and wherever you're watching. 00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:58.960 Six weeks to shoot, two months to edit. 00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:02.000 So Snatch was three months to do the whole thing or to write it? 00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:07.760 The whole thing from the beginning to the getting to the end of six months. 00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:08.319 Oh wow. 00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:10.799 Add's mid-sentence in between thoughts. 00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:13.840 He's interrupting Richie to ask him what he's explaining. 00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:18.719 You remember in school when the teacher would say, Hold questions until after instruction, because I'll probably answer them? 00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:23.599 Well, Joe Rogan doesn't remember, and he's particularly checked out because he could give a fuck about King Arthur. 00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:27.359 Now, we've all had a laugh at Guy Richie's expense, whether it be on a podcast. 00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:28.400 But what's it about? 00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:32.159 Oh, it's a bit diamond. 00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:34.400 You know, like it's just a bunch of fucking nonsense. 00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:41.280 And I'm 14 years old, and I liked Snatch, but there were just people in my life who were like, there's pre-Snatch and there's post-snatch. 00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:41.760 Right? 00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:43.359 You know, like they were just like, this has changed my life. 00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:44.239 People have been snatched. 00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:48.879 I've never seen a man in a pork pie hat punch someone and say, like, lovely jubbly, you know. 00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:51.200 And now that's how I want to live my life. 00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:52.799 Like that's what I want to live. 00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:56.159 It is an incredible summation of guy richie movies. 00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:00.959 Punch somebody and says lovely jubbly. 00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:02.719 Or on an SNL skit. 00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:07.519 Roy comes the toughest, grittiest, most British crime drama of the year. 00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:09.599 Don't go round round me, Row. 00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:12.479 Don't you go round and round to Rero. 00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:13.439 What? 00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:19.199 But notice that his style is so recognizable that it lends itself to parody. 00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:21.759 It tells you how iconic this guy really is. 00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:26.080 Ladies and gentlemen, or Tots and Gov Nuts, my name's Evan Hughes. 00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:27.599 I'm the host of Screen Generation. 00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:30.800 It's a show about the films released by Sony under the label Screen Gems. 00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:34.240 Today we're talking about the second film directed by Guy Ritchie, Snatch. 00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:36.080 And this is why I do the show. 00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:40.719 The specific nature of this podcast will mean there are movies it's no business of mine to cover. 00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:44.400 I've made peace with not sharing my thoughts on films I consider prestigious. 00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:54.000 Nobody wants a TED talk on how Fellowship of the Ring is the first two acts of Jaws or Seven Samurai, Magnificent Seven, and a Bug's Life, or the originality of any story for that matter. 00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:59.680 But at the beginning of the show, I looked at the list and I knew I would have a good time discussing the career of Guy Ritchie. 00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:05.680 I don't think anyone in history has ever accused Guy Ritchie of being substance over style. 00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:14.159 Guy Ritchie, and I do credit Matthew Vaughn as well, both dug a well in 1998 and have consistently drawn from that well to varying degrees of success. 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:20.400 In 98, Vaughn and Ritchie make lock stock in two smoking barrels for a million dollars, and it opens up every door in Hollywood. 00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:27.520 When it comes to making a second movie, there are options for studio projects that have been developed, but the fellows are like, I think we should go back to the well. 00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:33.840 And in the well is a plethora of pub folklore about the British underworld full of misadventures and misplaced items. 00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:42.000 In a little bit, we're gonna draw from the well and see what's inside, but in between Lockstock and two smoking barrels and snatch, Guy Ritchie kind of ceases to be a regular person. 00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:49.680 When shooting Lockstock, Sting, who has a cameo performance of like three scenes, invites him over for dinner, and Ritchie meets his future wife Madonna. 00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:58.639 This first-time director is being served supper by the bassist and lead singer of the police, and he's caught

the eye of the Queen of Pop, who has been famous for 17 years at this point. 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:02.879 By the time he's making the follow-up to Lockstock, they're adapting it to be a television show. 00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:08.400 It's like the world is massaging this guy's shoulders, and by his own admission, it makes him confident and lazy. 00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:17.040 Taking a moment to focus on Madonna, we will talk about her and Richie again on the show, and I'm not looking forward to that, but it's 2000 and Madonna is in an interesting place in her career. 00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:20.000 She's putting out a studio album just about every two years or so. 00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:26.879 I hope we all have the pleasure of forgetting the lackluster 2026 FIFA final halftime show as soon as possible, if not already. 00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:34.800 But Madonna is introduced in a very clearly pre-recorded roller rink sequence, and then she gets wheeled out on a truck bed and driven around the field. 00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:36.399 And the song choice. 00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:41.839 The song is Music from 2000, a famously pirated song on Napster. 00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:50.079 I remember the music video for the song Music as Sasha Baron Cohen as Oli G, and he won't be like a known name in the US for another three years. 00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:54.480 When that song started, I recognized it because I'm a dinosaur frozen in time. 00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:59.439 But there is no excuse for anyone under 34 to know that song, or Madonna for that matter. 00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:05.920 It kind of highlighted how out of touch we are when it comes to Western celebrities and how few we have with the star power to entertain the world. 00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:11.279 But the reason to use a 26-year-old song is after this time period, she becomes a celebrity, not a musician. 00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:13.040 Not making hits at least. 00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:17.600 Maybe the only thing that aged well in Get Em to the Greek is Rose Byrne as Jackie Q. 00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:22.399 Aldusnow and Jackie Q's relationship is undoubtedly based on Richie Madonna. 00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:26.480 She's a fashion icon, sex symbol, and she's passionate but dumb as a post. 00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:32.240 Here's Roseburn trying to get the Kabbalah line out without laughing, and it took her like 20 times. 00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:33.439 I want to be clean with you. 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:34.560 You're the love of my life. 00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:35.360 I've come to get you. 00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:37.120 Aldus, I've been doing Kabala. 00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:38.639 Sorry. 00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:40.800 I've been doing Kabala. 00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:41.839 Sorry. 00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:42.959 Kabbalah. 00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:46.000 It's an I'm sorry. 00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:47.759 Kabbalah. 00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:49.920 It's an ancient religion. 00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:53.600 A big part of the show for me is
I get to decide what to think about. 00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:58.240 When the world's a bit overwhelming, I'm allowed to focus my efforts, research, to form an opinion. 00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:02.240 This isn't the smartest mantra I rehearse, but being opinionated is exhausting. 00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:08.639 Time's taught me the power of indifference, and your taste will change with time, so I'm really glad I still like this movie. 00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:13.199 In 2020, Guy Ritchie sat down with the camera and watched Snatch for the first time in 15 years. 00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:16.000 Like me, he worried the charm would be lessened with time. 00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:18.720 But absence makes the heart grow fonder in this instance. 00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:24.000 A movie I've seen dozens of times as at an impressionable age, then took a decade off. 00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:27.759 It was like a fine aged bottle of wine when I returned to it. 00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:30.560 And this observation I can't compare with other movies. 00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:32.959 Even another movie with Brad Pitt punching face. 00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:41.439 I tried watching Fight Club when Blank Check was doing Fincher, and I was humiliated with what the 30-year-old me sees and what the 13-year-old didn't. 00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:47.680 Even reading the Plonic book, an angry little boy likes that movie, and a passive adult feels little for it. 00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:52.879 And the movie has a ton of parallels, but it doesn't leave a bad taste in your mouth when you wax poetic about this one. 00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:56.879 In many ways, Guy Richie's a less problematic Fincher, or even the less gimmicky M. 00:06:56.959 --> 00:06:57.920 Night Shyamalan. 00:06:58.319 --> 00:06:59.439 And I compare him to M. 00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:02.480 Night Shyamalan because I think the career paths are pretty similar. 00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:07.519 Both experience instant stardom for early early films and then go through ups and downs. 00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:08.639 Sometimes they're for hire. 00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:13.040 Later in life, they return to their wells to justify the movie genres that they created. 00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:17.279 Last episode, I may have overstated how effective the power of charisma is to talent. 00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:20.399 I think Guy Richie's superpower is the power of indifference. 00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:23.199 Hey, there are enough adaptations of Sherlock Holmes. 00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:26.160 He does not care, he'll make two movies in a show. 00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:28.879 Nobody likes the live action remakes of Disney films. 00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:31.759 He does not care, he'll make the biggest Disney movie in history. 00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:34.319 Hey, you keep remaking the same movie. 00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:37.120 He gets to do it because he dug the well. 00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:37.680 Okay? 00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:41.360 When you when you create something, you get to
go back and do it again. 00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:44.720 Small rant about Sherlock Holmes and old British properties. 00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:52.399 I think the IP adaptations of these are a huge waste of money, but it's easier to pitch something to a studio or an executive when you don't have to introduce something new. 00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:58.000 We always joke about an elevator pitch and just sticking two ideas together so they buy the premise and not the script. 00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:01.600 But Sherlock Holmes will always be adapted to a procedural. 00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:06.000 And hear me out, these are Sherlock without calling themselves Sherlock Holmes. 00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:12.319 So there is Elementary, there is Watson, there is House, which is just Sherlock is a doctor. 00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:14.879 There is Monk, which is Sherlock has OCD. 00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:17.519 There is Psych, which is Sherlock with a photographic memory. 00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:20.800 There is High Potential, which is Lady Sherlock with a high IQ. 00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:22.959 There is Numbers with Sherlock Math. 00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:26.000 There's The Finder with PTSD OCD Sherlock. 00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:28.800 There is RJ Decker with a photojournalist Sherlock. 00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:33.840 And we're going to talk about Scott Speedman and Robbie G in Underworld, so that's coming up. 00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:37.360 I uh I also want to say Richie does two Robert Downey Jr. 00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:42.240 Sherlock movies at the same time the BBC is doing their Benedict Cumberbatch Sherlock miniseries. 00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:44.480 Then Richie produces an Amazon show. 00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:49.919 I hope you're starting to realize I like it when he goes to the well because it's the most original angle that he's got. 00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:54.960 In all of that, I don't know why I was looking this up, but uh I was looking for adaptations of other things. 00:08:55.039 --> 00:09:01.120 So Robin Hood, which I just say currently is uh gonna be having like a modern retelling. 00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:19.600 But in 2023, I'm looking at Robin Hood, a Canadian series created by Director X, which reimagines Robin Hood as Robin, a female rapper, and The Hood, a masked hip-hop band living in a working-class area in a fictional city of New Nottingham, and sparring with the antagonists including the Sheriff and a property tycoon named John Prince. 00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:21.360 Okay, some adaptations are okay. 00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:23.120 I I want to watch that. 00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:28.159 So it's no surprise that two British boys grew up in the Cold War wanting to be James Bond. 00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:32.720 Vaughn and Richie would become filmmakers that wanted to make a Bond film, but no one asked. 00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:40.240 So, to make a name for themselves, Vaughn goes back to the well and makes Layer Cake, casts Daniel Craig, and now we got your James Bond. 00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:44.399 Then Vaughn digs a completely new well and makes three Kingsman movies. 00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:51.919 Richie tiptoes over The New Oasis, does Man from Uncle, Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, and Operation Fortune. 00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:53.919 These guys love spies. 00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:55.440 They like making spy movies. 00:09:55.600 --> 00:10:02.240 Additionally, Richie has also shot an unofficial sequel to Layer Cake, but we gotta wait until 2028 for Viva La Madness. 00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:06.799 Listen to the theme from Snatch and tell me Soderberg didn't steal Ocean's 11. 00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:10.480 Circular narrative, ensemble cast, fight night heist. 00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:14.720 I'd give him points for originality, but I like Logan Lucky better than all of these combined. 00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:17.600 And Soderberg has drawn from the well, my friends. 00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:20.080 Making Snatch means going back to the well. 00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:22.799 Only this time the guys have 10 times their budget. 00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:26.879 And with that, they can afford a more recognizable cast and better needle drops. 00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:30.399 This is kind of like Raimi remaking Evil Dead with a better budget. 00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:33.679 It's a safe move because of how well received the first was. 00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:35.679 And people started reaching out to get cast. 00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:42.960 Brad Pitt called Guy Ritchie and asked to be put in this, which leads to problems because he can't grasp any of the regional accents for Mickey. 00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:50.159 The stupid irony of this film is for a movie named Snatch, I believe there are four female speaking roles. 00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:56.080 What I meant to say was Ted's very handsome, so I'm always interested in meeting the lady that can snatch him up. 00:10:56.559 --> 00:10:58.000 Did you just call me a whore? 00:10:58.559 --> 00:10:58.960 What? 00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:00.879 You just worry about your own snatch. 00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:01.679 How about that, honey? 00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:02.320 Whoa, hey! 00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:07.039 One is an indecipherable Mickey's mom, one bookie, and twins. 00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:12.559 Richie will get better at this, but it does seem like his first two movies are declaring war on the Bechtel test. 00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:16.080 It makes you wonder if the UK started importing women after 2000. 00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:18.720 Verena was in Saving Private Ryan in ninety eight. 00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:20.720 I think it is the same number of women in it. 00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:24.559 If we're keeping up with the show, this is the second movie with a boxing subplot. 00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:26.000 And Richie does this often. 00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:31.200 In Lockstock, the card game that gets our lovable group in a hot cup of tea is a boxing ring. 00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:35.039 Richie's take on Sherlock Holmes
is he's he was so intelligent he can box. 00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:37.440 And Colin Farrell and the gentleman runs a dojo. 00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:39.279 That's probably the best part of that movie. 00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:41.120 Hey folks, I think it's time. 00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:42.480 Let's take a look down. 00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:50.960 Okay, so a big pail full of the fountain of youth. 00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:54.320 Just kidding, he directed that movie and I saw it, but I'm not sure it exists. 00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:55.600 So, what's in the well? 00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:04.159 In the well is an ensemble cast, a MacGuffin, uh, circular narrative, difficult to understand accents, cool music, and voiceover narration. 00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:09.679 Oh, and it's super hard to get firearms in the UK, so everyone has to be a criminal, and there are no police. 00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:11.039 Competent ones at least. 00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:14.960 So, in Lockstock, it's a pair of classic shotguns and some pot. 00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:19.039 Voice over by the barback Alan Ford, who plays Bricktop in this movie. 00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:20.720 In Rock and Roller, it's a painting. 00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:22.240 The VO is done by Mark Strong. 00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:24.240 People ask the question. 00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:26.960 What's a rock and roller? 00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:30.559 And I'll tell him, it's not about it. 00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:37.200 In The Gentleman, it's a network of grow operations, and Matthew McConaughey does a Lincoln ad in a pub, possibly Guy Ritchie's pub. 00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:39.039 Shoot, some facts about Guy Ritchie. 00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:40.240 I think he's just really cool, man. 00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:44.399 He brews his own beer at his estate, where he shot season two of the Gentleman series. 00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:48.559 And it's rumored he directs remotely when he has too many projects he's juggling. 00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:49.120 Let's go. 00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:50.399 What's in the well for Snatch? 00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:55.919 Snatch is about a diamond, Jason Statham does the voiceover, and the power of charisma over talent is alive and well. 00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:58.159 Also on display with Vinny Jones. 00:12:58.480 --> 00:12:59.840 Ugh, chef's kits. 00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:04.879 We're going to see Statham again in Ghosts of Mars, but this movie explains his longevity. 00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:06.799 And he's hanging on to the hair. 00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:10.639 When he goes fully bald, it looks like he takes off 10 years. 00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:18.000 When Lockstock came out, it was impossible not to compare its dialogue, crime themes, and music to pole fiction, Jackie Brown, and Scorsese Slop. 00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:22.799 It's so funny how after doing it twice, there's a contingent of filmmakers that wanted to emulate Richie. 00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:32.799 Smoking Aces, Next Air, Lucky Number Slevin, and a movie I look back fondly
on, starring a young Heath Ledger called Two Hands, all try to do this Richie stuff with limited success. 00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:38.879 Even comedies start to back up, like um Death at a Funeral is very much tied to the success of Guy Richie Chaos. 00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:41.200 And Richie is aware of the Tarantino comparison. 00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:48.080 It's on his mind so much that he had to change an animated sequence and revolver because he heard Quentin Tarantino had already done it in Kill Bill Part 1. 00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:53.279 On screen, you immediately notice a step up in the film stock and look of Snatch from Lockstock. 00:13:53.360 --> 00:14:07.600 The orange is traded for a cool blue, and even in the beginning sequence, before the Trojan horse Hasidic Jews are revealed, the camera drifting from CCT like monitors is so inventive and reminiscent of Panic Room, which this film proceeds by several years. 00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:12.799 The landline phone calls being split screen, not like Time Code, there's a deliberate movement between this. 00:14:12.879 --> 00:14:19.120 The Concorde is still flying, the speed ramping, everything about this movie is indicative of 2000, and it really rocks. 00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:27.279 The slow motion is still in its infancy, so high frame rate, you get really grainy and probably has to be really overlit, but it looks great in the fight. 00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:36.960 And if you remember the machine gun scene from Lockstock and Smoking Barrels, it's the best use of early slow motion and its uh, I don't know, maybe a 30-second spot. 00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:41.120 The editor uh of this movie is John Harris, who is Danny Boyle's dude. 00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:44.240 Recently, um uh he did the edit on 28 Years Later. 00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:46.480 He also works with Matthew Vaughn a lot. 00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:49.200 The kinetic editing is composed of intentional shots. 00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:54.879 Richie would come up with the sequencing, do three or four takes, and then depending on what worked best visually, Harris cut together. 00:14:55.120 --> 00:15:03.120 I think Edgar Wright is maybe the king of this intentional montage style, and because of that, your director must have the vision and then it must work in tandem with your editor. 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:06.960 There is so much physical comedy in this movie, and most of the lenses are really tight. 00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:11.440 Like, because they don't have much room and everything's inside, there isn't a ton of wide shots. 00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:19.840 But in scenes like when Tony and Avi are uh interrogating the pawn stars, it's an unbroken take with the dog attacking Tyrone, and it is so funny. 00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:27.519 I'm accustomed to watching most everything with subtitles nowadays, but if you had trouble understanding the alleged English in this movie, lagged? 00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:28.879 Speak English to me, Tony. 00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:33.200 I thought this country spawned the f language, and so far nobody seems to speak it. 00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:37.840 The soundtrack in visual storytelling would still communicate the story. 00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:40.480 Now let's go into some of our characters. 00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:44.559 And I'll preface this with the first group are men just diversifying their portfolio. 00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:54.159 The promoters should stick to slot machines, the pawn guys should stick to jewelry, but they're dipping their toes into crime, and they're different than the second list of characters I'll get to. 00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:59.919 So, a very young Stephen Graham is Tommy, and you would never expect him to have the career, kind of like Jason Statham. 00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:04.960 He's just a guy who was plucked off the street by Guy Ritchie, and he eventually has a career. 00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:11.919 When I was younger, I thought Tommy was a silly, annoying character, and now I see that everyone's just really rude to him. 00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:14.000 It's Jason Statham's first line. 00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:16.960 He just he does it to take the piss out of him for fun. 00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:25.840 And his lecture on lactose intolerance seems stupid to teenage me, but after 30, my warranty has expired, and a tablespoon of half and a half of my coffee will ruin my day. 00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:28.159 So then we got Lenny James's soul. 00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:33.840 He was in Lost in Space the year before, and he gets to say the great line: this cold war just got hot. 00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:37.360 Uh he's in lockout later, and he's a he's a regular on The Walking Dead. 00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:38.320 The man works. 00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:39.440 We have Ade. 00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:42.000 He's a moniker, he's the guy who plays Tyrone. 00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:46.879 Um, if he looks familiar, he's also the large black uh poker player in Casino Royale. 00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:47.440 Bond. 00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:58.879 Also going to be in the 51st state when we cover that, which is the director of Warriors of Virtue using Sam Jackson and Robert Carlisle to knock off Danny Boyle, Quentin Tarantino, and Guy Ritchie. 00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:00.639 Then we got Robbie G as Vinny. 00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:05.519 Um we're gonna be seeing him again in Underworld, I said, but I really love the way that that guy speaks. 00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:12.160 All right, we got Dennis Farina as Abby, and I think Dennis Farina saying the F-word is like a special effect. 00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:21.599 He's pro throughout his career, but I think his supporting role in like Bottle Shock, same with Alan Rickman, is uh it's the lighthearted roles that get to show his range. 00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:28.319 Okay, now we get to talk about the proper criminals, and I think it's funny that the legitimate criminals all have three-part nicknames. 00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:35.119 So, Benicio del
Toro, doing some of the usual suspect vocal affectation for this role of Frankie Fourfingers. 00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:38.799 Alright, then we got Vinny Jones, who at this point is retired from soccer. 00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:44.160 There's a number of athletes in this movie, but Vinny has other projects since Lockstock and has moved to Los Angeles. 00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:48.720 The same year as Gone in Sixty Seconds, as this movie, um, they do the opposite. 00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:56.240 In Snatch, he's an erudite Bullettooth Tony, and in Gone in 60 Seconds, he's a silent Sphinx, who becomes well spoken at the end. 00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:03.759 And uh I think about it, the end of that movie has a scene so reminiscent of like a Toretto barbecue, it's baffling. 00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:06.400 Guys, come on. 00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:07.519 That's baffling. 00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:08.720 Sorry. 00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:13.839 Oh shoot, and now that I think about it, in both movies, he threatens a dog with a knife. 00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:14.640 Baffling. 00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:16.799 Guys, I'm sorry. 00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:26.799 Alright, I'm I'm not gonna attempt to say his name correctly, but Raid Surzbiga plays Boris and um Boris the Blade, aka Boris the Bullet Dodger. 00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:31.759 Um, Raid has appeared in 156 roles in films. 00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:37.519 Like the way he puts his earplugs and aims the gun and kills Vinicio del Toro is this weird realism to this movie. 00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:41.519 And this movie's a farce, but he actually nails that role. 00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:43.680 All right, let's continue with the bad guys. 00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:51.680 So I'm trying to get through this movie clean, and the first credits are producers, and I see a name, and it's like, I know that guy. 00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:53.599 Who is Steve Tisch?
