Recycled: the Series to Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. None of the actors or characters from the film returned, but it was a Spiritual Successor; Strictly Formula Guy Ritchie crime caper comedy with Cluster F Bombs and witty dialogue coming out the ears.
Tropes used in Lock, Stock... include:

- A Bloody Mess -- An odd variation, since it is blood, but animal blood from a bucket left lying around in Nefarious' meat locker.
- The Clan -- Moon's extended family.
- Corrupt Hick -- a West Country version in Moon's uncle.
- Crappy Carnival -- the fairground in Kent run by Moon's dodgy relatives.
- The Dragon -- what crime boss would be complete without one?
