Snatch: Difference between revisions

* [[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.

* [[The Chessmaster]]: Of all people, {{spoiler|Mickey. There's a reason he kept winning those fights. He wanted to}}.

{{quote| '''Turkish:''' Well, fuck me. What ''have'' you been reading?}}

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Turkish. Completely. Tony also has more than a touch of it.

* [[Fixing the Game]]: Brick Top runs crooked boxing matches. Turkish does not.

* [[Forced Prize Fight]]

* [[Gambit Pileup]]: Including attempted ones done by people who are ''really'' bad at [[The Chessmaster|chess]].

* [[The Gambling Addict]]: Frankie Four Fingers

** 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]].

* [[Jerkass|Jerkasses]]: Everyone. Cousin Avi and Brick Top in particular.

* [[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]].

* [[Laser-Guided Karma]]: By the end of the film, {{spoiler|Turkish and Tommy, the only people who didn't try anything more criminal or morally questionable than ''surviving'' and who didn't even know the diamond existed, end up profiting from it. Everyone else is either dead, arrested, or suffered a severe loss.}}

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

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Played with. Boris' two nicknames (Boris the Blade and Boris the Bullet Dodger) actually aren't all that accurate. He's only seen using a blade once in the entire movie, and he doesn't dodge bullets so much as absorb them. His third name "Boris the sneaky fucking Russian" is a bit more accurate (although technically he's an Uzbekistanian).

* [[Not So Different]]: Sol and Vincent are essentially a slightly more dodgy and violent (and in Sol's case, slightly less smart) version of Turkish and Tommy.

* [[Oh Crap]]: Several moments: Bad Boy Lincoln when he recognizes Bricktop, Turkish and Tommy's reaction when Mickey knocks out Bricktop's fighter (both times).

{{quote| '''Turkish''' Now, we are fucked.}}

{{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.

* [[Sophisticated As Hell]]

{{quote| '''Brick Top:''' Do you know what Nemesis means? A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent. Personified in this case by a 'orrible cunt. Me.}}
