replies: text: Not only were all the actors different, so were all the characters! The tenuous link between the two was that they both featured four young men as the "heroes", living on their wits and narrowly avoiding violence or death at the hands of a crime lord, and shared stylistic similarities (style of dress, general political incorrectness, relentless swearing, violence). In fact, the only real connection between the two was the involvement of Guy Ritchie as director of the film and co-executive producer of the TV series.—Martan 15:20, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

message: The main article says that during Dog's raid, one botanical has his foot shot off ("I'm in so much pain") and one is killed. 
I don't remember one being killed. I recall Gloria shooting a robber with the Bren gun as he was about to knife the botanical who has previously attacked him.

message: I have a question about this part of the synopsis: "Chris, who recognizes the guns that Dog is holding as those his boss wanted, surprises him and takes the guns and the money to Harry."
Perhaps I'm misremembering, but I don't think Chris knew about the guns.  He grabbed them up along with the money and brought them to Harry because, as Chris puts it (more or less--I'm sure I'm misquoting), "I know you're interested in that sort of thing."  Am I mistaken? --ShelfSkewed 05:06, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No, you are correct. The only people who knew about the guns value were Harry and Barry (and the original owners of course). --124.186.238.96 06:49, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Is anyone aware of the Director's Cut version of this film? It has some significant scenes in it which don't appear in the cinema version. Primerily, you get to understand why Harry wants the bar. It's because JD, Eddie's dad (Sting) won a vast amount of money when playing Harry in a card game years back. From that point on, JD bought the bar with the money and never gambled again. JD knew that Harry wanted revenge which is the reason why he was so against his son, Eddie, getting involved.

message: I believe the budget was around £1 million, roughly twice the budget given on the page. I can't find any reliable cites for that yet though.

replies: text: I found a good cited source for the budget and revenue, however, it is in US dollars only. If someone could also list the British pounds with a 1998 inflation adjustment to the US figures that would be nice. DrNegative (talk) 22:33, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

message: The synopsis section seems to be taken word-for-word from http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120735/synopsis . Is that a site that is okay to copy from, or is that a no-no? (Or did they take it from here?)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.173.209.85 (talk) 04:50, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Is it true that to the US edition of the DVD pack an explanation of Cockney rhyming slang is attached? Something should be listed about it because this slang makes it extraordinarily difficult to understand the movie for non-natives and even for Americans.

message: Is the title naturally self-explanatory for natives of all shades? If not, maybe there’s a note or section worth providing a clear explanation. Are the barrels referring to the two smoking guns? But what lock, or what to lock? And what’s in stock or stocked? -- WA1TF0R 14:34, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
