details

• The bar that is used as J.D.'s bar in the movie is really called Vic Naylors, it is exactly as it is seen in the film (apart from the sign on the front of course). It is situated in an area of London called Farringdon and is opposite the old Smithfield meat market.
  
  
• The scene where 'Nick the Greek' breaks the glass in the coffee table was not in the original script. It was, in fact, an accident that happened during filming and was written in by Guy Ritchie as an afterthought.
  
  
• The music that plays just before Hatchet Harry shoots Gary with the antique shotgun is from Per qualche dollaro in più (1965). It's from a pocket watch that Del Indio would play, and when the music stopped he would draw and shoot someone.
  
  

• Ray Winstone was originally offered the role of Hatchet Harry.
  
  
• The football commentary in the pub mentions both writer/director, Guy Ritchie, and producer, Matthew Vaughn, as players
  
  
• The movie was dedicated to Lenny McLean, who played Barry the Baptist. He died of cancer exactly one month before the movie's debut in England.
  
  
• Lenny McLean was a famous bare knuckle boxer before he became an actor.
  
  
• On Vinnie Jones' first day of filming, he had just been released from police custody - he had been arrested for beating up his neighbor.
  
  
• The ending to the film was altered some time after filming had been completed which is why Tom is wearing a woolen cap pulled low down - the actor had grown his hair in the intervening period and did not want to shave it short again. (See also goofs)
  
  
• Gastrolle: [Matthew Vaughn] The film's producer appears as the yuppie dragged out of the car by Dog.
  
  
• Big Chris's line to Dog as he slams his head in the car door is "Never, ever in my life, has anyone been as fucking rude to me, as you, Dog! Fucking bastard!"
  
  
• Jason Statham has in real life worked as a street vendor, similar to the character he plays in the opening of the movie.
  
  
• The "Botheby's" catalogue, in which the two antique shotguns are listed, is a parody of esteemed British auction house "Sotheby's".
  
  
• The character of Big Chris was allegedly based on real life ex-gangster Dave Courtney.
  
  
• Body count: 16
  
  
• The word 'fuck' is used 125 times.
  
  
• When Nick the Greek and Tom are haggling over the price of the stereo, Nick says "All right, all right, keep your Alans on!" The "Alans" in question is cockney rhyming slang, short for Alan Whicker: Alan Whicker=Knickers.
  
  
• This was Jason Statham's film debut.
  
  
• Film debut of Vinnie Jones.
  
  
• Gastrolle: [Tim Maurice-Jones] the film's cinematographer appears as the man being drowned by Barry the Baptist.
