    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The film was dedicated to Lenny McLean, who played Barry the Baptist. He died of lung cancer exactly one month before the film's premiere. The dedication reads as follows: "In memory of LENNY McLEAN (The Guv'nor)"
    • Goofs
      During the final round of the card game, Harry reveals his cards one by one. When he turns over his third and final card, Eddie looks shocked in a dramatic "forward tracking zoom out" shot, realizing how much he just lost. However, Eddie had already lost when Harry's second card was revealed (pair of sevens beat pair of sixes), it wouldn't matter what the third card was. So his shocked expression should have come earlier: after the second card's revelation, not the third.
    • Quotes

      Bacon: What's that?

      Samoan Joe's Barman: It's a cocktail. You asked for a cocktail.

      Bacon: No. I asked you to give me a refreshing drink. I wasn't expecting a fucking rainforest! You could fall in love with an orangutan in that!

      Samoan Joe's Barman: You want a pint, you go to the pub.

      Bacon: I thought this was a pub!

      Samoan Joes Barman: It's a Samoan pub.

    • Crazy credits
      In the closing credits, the character names in the cast list are shown entirely in lower-case letters with no initial capital letters.
    • Alternate versions
      New footage included in director's cut:
      • at the very start of film, Ed is shown explaining the rules of 3 Card Brag to two people;
      • the scene where Big Chris goes to see the man on the sunbed is longer
      • Tom, Soap and Bacon are shown walking through the pub to the bar while Ed is playing cards
      • the earlier stages of the card game are shown
      • Alan explains to Ed the "history" between JD and Harry
      • when Barry is talking to the two scousers the dialogue is different
      • when Big Chris is walking into Harry's office near the end, he meets the man who was on the sunbed near the start of the film.
      • when Ed is being interviewed by the police you see him finishing explaining the rules of 3 Card Brag to them (as seen at very start)
      • just before the credits, you see Soap telling a whole joke in the car when they are coming back from the job
      • three outtakes are shown during the credits: one with Soap telling a joke, the next where Barry asks one of the scouser's for an ice cream and one where a guy runs onto the set.

    Brilliant script, brilliant cinematography, great acting and soundtrack

    Best comedy in years, friend turned me on to this hilarious comedy of errors and glad she did. The film is damn near flawless, forces you to pay attention to the twists and turns through it's witty dialogue. Wonderfully photographed with brilliant camerawork but not overdone. Worth several sittings and we could learn alot in Hollywood from this one....
