Sexy Beast is a 2000 British crime film directed by Jonathan Glazer in his feature directorial debut, starring Ray Winstone, Ben Kingsley, and Ian McShane. The film received a lot of buzz on the indie circuit, but is perhaps best known to mainstream audiences as the other film released in 2000 with a nightmarish, anthropomorphic bunny.Gal Dove (Winstone) is a retired English crook living a life of modest luxury in Spain. He spends his days sunbathing by the pool while his beautiful wife Dee Dee jets around town. At night, they dine with their best friends from England, Aitch and Jackie.One day, a ghost from Gal's past arrives: Don Logan (Kingsley), an old soldier of the London underworld. Bitter, jealous, and unpredictably violent, Don barges into Gal's home with an offer that he can't refuse: return to London to participate in a dangerous heist. Can Gal resist Don's overpowering force of will and refuse the summons? And can he survive the repercussions of their meeting?This film contains the final performance of actor Cavan Kendall, who died of cancer shortly after filming ended.A prequel series, starring James McArdle as Gal and Emun Elliott as Don Logan, began airing on the Paramount+ network in 2024. | |

Rasputinian Death | |
| Sexy Beast / int_13992073 | comment |
Rasputinian Death: Don gets a load of buckshot in the gut from ten feet away, is then savagely beaten and kicked by four people, then receives yet another gutshot point-blank while lying on the ground, and he still manages to cough out a few more obscenities. It finally takes his skull getting crushed by a large rock to put him down permanently. | |

The Sociopath | |
| Sexy Beast / int_19851b86 | comment |
The Sociopath: Don Logan is a particularly potent sociopath, completely lacking in social skills and having nothing in his life other than his job. He also has a nasty Hair-Trigger Temper and is so disliked that when Teddy figures out he's been killed he doesn't even care and seeks no vengeance against the person that did it. | |

Chekhov's Gun: A very literal example — Gal and Aitch take the pool boy out to shoot rabbits. Might that gun make a return appearance? The pool itself, which is ruined by a rolling boulder at the start of the film. In the end, it's revealed that this is where Gal and the others disposed of Don's corpse. | |

Blatant Lies: Don's story about being inappropriately touched by a steward (as an excuse for his rampant Jerkass behavior on board the plane) was clearly a lie, but he tells the story so convincingly that the airline would rather let him off the hook than risk the negative publicity such a thing would result in. | |

Manipulative Bastard: Don tries this many times on Gal and his friends, even whispering to Jackie that he loves her while dying from a shotgun blast to the gut. Nobody buys any of it for a second.

Unishment | |
| Sexy Beast / int_7ac5c1de | comment |
Unishment: Teddy's revenge against Gal for murdering Don is to stiff Gal out of his share of the heist money and essentially banish him from London. Gal doesn't have to worry about money with his lifestyle, and 'banishment' means that he can never be forced to leave Spain to appease his past connections again, so Gal's punishment is exactly what he wanted in the first place. | |

Large Ham: Ben Kingsley as Logan tears the Spanish countryside and everybody he meets with the ferocity of a rabid wolverine and comes back for thirds. Also a dramatic example — him screaming is the only warning you get before he gets violent. | |

| Sexy Beast / int_8b68d9a7 | comment |
Stalker with a Crush: Don towards Jackie (with a dash of Crazy Jealous Guy thrown in) - at least that's what Gal accuses him of being. It doesn't help Don's situation that he has absolutely no idea how to interact with people like an adult human being and is incapable of expressing himself except through extreme profanity and violence. | |
