Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

A Disgrace to Criminals Everywhere.

Here we are, right in the middle of Killing Week, and here's a close second to Kill Bill.

Similarities - Fantastic Directors, Brilliant interlinking storylines, cool actors, and pretty much everyone dies, I'm not kidding here pretty much everyone.

Differences - Kill Bill - Samurai Swords, Lock Stock - Double Barrelled Shotguns

So here's the basics, four lads get mixed up in a card game and get seriously into debt with the a East Ends Hard Man. Enter a different scam containing "Copious amounts of Ganja" and yet another scam with some very antique double barrelled shotguns.

Throw Vinnie Jones in for good measure, and the result is death, mayhem, and fun fun fun.

And of course then there's the fantastic quotes that'll keep you and your friends entertained for hours:

"We grow copious amounts of ganja here, and you're carrying a wasted girl and a bag of fertilizer. You don't look like your average horti-fucking-culturalist."

"Ah! I've been shot! Look, will everyone stop gettin' shot?
