Snatch: Difference between revisions

* [[Actor Allusion]]: More like a writer/director allusion - Tony hears Madonna's "Lucky Star" on the radio and comments, "I love this track!" Guy Ritchie and Madonna, well, you know the story.

** Bullet Tooth Tony is introduced doing exactly the same thing as Big Chris is in ''[[Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels]]''.

* [[Anyone Can Die]]

* [[Ask a Stupid Question]]

'''Tony:''' I'm driving down the street with your head stuck in my window. What do you think I'm doing, you pen-arse? }}

* [[Badass Bystander]]: The girl behind the counter at Brick Top's betting shop. She stares down some flunky robbers and manages to shoot at them with their own gun before escaping.

* [[BFG]]: "That's a fucking anti-aircraft gun, Vincent!"

* [[Black Comedy]]

* [[Black Guy Dies First]]: {{spoiler|Inverted. Sol, Vinnie and Tyrone are on the very short list of people who ''don't'' die, although Sol and Vinnie get nicked.}}

* [[Smitten Teenage Girl]]: Tommy seems to have quite the soft spot for Mickey's mam...

* [[Call Back]]: The Madonna track that Tony hears on the radio and gushes over is the same song that was playing when he got shot in flashback.

** Avi is waiting to explode into them at any time.

{{quote| '''Doug the Head''': Avi!<br />

'''Avi''': So? Who the fuck wants to see 'em? }}

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aoPYFD9Eno Just watch this DVD extra].

** According to IMDB the word "fuck" is said 163 times in the movie. The movie is 104 minutes long so it's said about one and half times per minute.

* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: Turkish mocks Tommy for buying a gun, then mocks him further when the gun turns out to be defective, but Tommy successfully uses it to hold off Brick Top's [[Mooks]] and secure their escape.

** Tommy's enormous revolver as well. Except the gun would do more damage if you fed it to someone.

* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Turkish and Tommy.

** Avi is [[Law and Order|Detective Fontana]], [[Fight Club|Tyler Durden]] is getting into fights again, and Tommy looks an awful lot like both [[Boardwalk Empire|Al Capone]] ''and'' [[Public Enemies|Baby Face Nelson]].

** The random informant that Bullet Tooth Tony drags through the street by his tie while driving is [[Trainspotting|Spud]].

* [[Kick the Dog]]: There's no real reason to dislike Avi until he gives a certain command involving a dog. Bricktop is also seen killing two [[Mooks]] and brutalizing dogs early in the film to establish him as a villain amongst villains. When he order the burning of Mickey's caravan with his mother still inside, he crosses a [[Moral Event Horizon]].

* [[Knuckle Cracking]]: Tony does this, but Mickey takes the cake. He spends most of the fight against Gorgeous methodically cracking his entire skeleton, before [[Curb Stomp Battle|laying him out with one punch]].

** Except {{spoiler|Mickey, who actually out-gambitted everyone. [[Downer Ending|Although his mom was killed]]...}}

*** Also, {{spoiler|it's implied that Avi will get the diamond, and therefore a big profit, which probably goes a long way toward making up for the losses of Frankie and Rosebud}}.

** Sol, Vince and Tyrone's reactions to Bullet Tooth Tony's Desert Eagle, and Avi's reaction to {{spoiler|accidentally killing Bullet Tooth Tony.}}

*** Bricktop gets a retroactive one; at the climax, he see him hang up his phone with a troubled expression on his face. It's only after a flashback that we realize it's because his plan to teach Mickey a lesson by killing his entire clan has gone badly wrong.

** Mickey gets one in the last fight in the movie, when he almost knocks the other fighter out in the first round. {{spoiler|He's worried because he knows that his friends haven't had enough time to take care of Brick Top's men, and if he won the fight that early, they'd all be fucked. [[Running Gag|Proper fucked]].}}

* [[Only Sane Man]]: Turkish seems to be the only main character in the film who is not too greedy, crazy, or stupid.

* [[Plethora of Mistakes]]

* [[Police Are Useless]]: The only time we even ''see'' any policemen comes after all the action is over and all the bad guys are dead.

* [[Preemptive Shut Up]]: Brick Top, to Errol:

{{quote| '''Errol''': ''[to Turkish]'' Oi, fuckface, was he talking to you?<br />

'''Turkish''': Fuckface, huh? I like that. I'll have to remember that next time I'm crawling off [[Your Mom|your Mum]].<br />

'''Brick Top''': ''[to Errol]'' Not now. }}

{{quote| '''Brick Top''': ''[On mobile]'' Pete, talk to me.<br />

'''Traveller''': ''[On Pete's phone]'' If you want yer friend to hear ye, ye'll have to talk a lot louder than that. ''[BANG]'' }}

* [[Psycho Serum]]: Turkish attributes both Boris' [[Made of Iron|near-invulnerability]] and his [[Ax Crazy|extreme]] [[Bunny Ears Lawyer|kookiness]] to "one too many disco-biscuits".

* [[Rare Guns]]: The two most prominent firearms in the film is a Franchi SPAS-12S shotgun ("That's a fucking anti-aircraft gun, Vincent!") and Tony's Desert Eagle "Point Five-Oh".

* [[Rasputinian Death]]: {{spoiler|Boris, appropriately.}}

{{quote| '''Tony''': So. You're obviously the big dick. And the men on either side of you are your balls. There are two types of balls. There are big brave balls and there are little mincy faggot balls.<br />

'''Vinny''': These are your last words so make them a prayer.<br />

* [[Running Gag]]: Mostly just repeated phrases like "sneaky fuckin' Russian", "Franky fuckin' Four Fingers", "I fucking hate pikeys", "proper fucked", and "ze Germans".

** People keep getting killed in the back of Sol and Vincent's shop. The killers keep leaving Sol and Vincent to deal with the bodies.

{{quote| 'Fuck it, we're outta here.'}}

* [[Shirtless Scene]]: Brad Pitt as a bareknuckle boxer spends a lot of time with his shirt off, exposing his numerous gypsy tats and chiseled abs.

* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: For a given value of 'villain' (he's certainly not nearly as bad as some in this movie), Avi spends most of the movie getting more and more edgy and irate with things until he's eventually reduced to firing a gun wildly at a dog. One gets the feeling he'd been wanting to shoot something/one for a while by that point.

{{quote| '''''I HATE FUCKING DOGS!'''''}}

* [[The Yardies]]: Lincoln (played by Goldie) is described as "a bad boy Yardie."

* [[You Have to Have Jews]]: Doug the Head obviously believes this, because he ''pretends'' to be Jewish thinking it's good for business, "because when you're in the diamond trade... it ''is'' good business".
