Snatch (stylized as snatch.) is the second film by British director Guy Ritchie; it was released in 2000. Snatch is a humorous crime caper featuring a trainwreck of villains in a cartoonish London underworld.The film's plot is essentially broken down into two mostly separate plot threads, both of which feature large ensemble casts.The film opens with Frankie "Four Fingers" (Benicio del Toro) stealing a huge 86 carat diamond in Antwerp. With the help of a section of the Russian Mob that his boss is working with, Frankie is able to smuggle the diamond onto a plane, but his gun is taken by the Russians so as to not cause problems. Frankie is advised to see Boris (Rade Šerbedžija), a local fence in London if he wants a new gun. The Russian Gangster who took Frankie's gun, (who is actually Boris' brother) and Boris immediately begin conspiring on how to steal the diamond from Frankie before Frankie heads back home to America, without the deed leading back to them.At this point, we're introduced to Turkish (Jason Statham) and Tommy (Stephen Graham), who are the closest thing the film has to main characters. The two are shady but basically decent cockney entrepreneurs who dabble in unlicensed boxing and slot machines. Turkish, who has a reputation for running honest fights, has a bout coming up between his best fighter and one managed by monstrous local gangster Brick Top (Alan Ford). There's just one problem for Turkish: his boxer gets knocked out and seriously injured mere days before the bout by Mickey (Brad Pitt), a bare-knuckle boxing Irish Traveller. Without a fighter, Turkish recruits Mickey to fill the empty spot, but Brick Top forces Turkish to fix the fight as compensation for the change in boxers. Turkish is uncomfortable being in Brick Top's debt and doubtful whether he can trust Mickey to go down as instructed. Both of these fears prove to be well-founded.Meanwhile, Boris has decided that the best way to go about getting the diamond without seeming to be involved is to prey on Frankie's gambling addiction. Boris gives Frankie a tip about how the upcoming fight with Brick Top's fighter is supposed to be fixed, which sends Frankie off to the bookie to place a bet on it. Boris then hires a pair of pawnbrokers (Sol (Lennie James) and Vincent (Robbie Gee)) to ambush him at Brick Top's bookie. When Frankie disappears, his boss and New York crime kingpin "Cousin Avi" (Dennis Farina) heads to London and recruits the enforcer-for-hire Bullet-Tooth Tony (Vinnie Jones) to find Frankie and the diamond.The two threads parallel each other and eventually converge in surprising ways before the dust finally settles.Not to be confused with Snatcher. | |

Self-Plagiarism | |
Snatch. / int_116f6f1c | comment |
Self-Plagiarism: To Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels: In Lock Stock, there is a scene in which Harry, Barry, and Chris have a conversation. Barry says the line. "No, Harry, you can't," which is shortly repeated by Chris, then by both together. This joke is carried over to this movie when Alex and Susi do the same thing with the line, "Yeah, Dad, you told us." Boris the Blade pulls a large cleaver from his belt as Soap did. Boris' brother advising him not to use idiots to kidnap Frankie echoes Harry telling Barry that he doesn't want to know who he hires to steal the shotguns so long as they're not complete muppets. Brick Top telling Turkish and Tommy to fuck off after chewing them out for their failure as Barry did to the Scousers. | |

Fauxshadowing | |
Snatch. / int_117d2e1f | comment |
Fauxshadowing: The fake diamond that Lincoln tries to pawn to Sol was originally a plot point. In a deleted scene, Vinnie would give it to Brick Top, knowing that he doesn't know anything about diamonds. Brick Top would then give to Avi, who immediately recognises it as a fake. The gun that Boris sells Frankie Four-Fingers originally had a payoff. In another deleted scene, the pawn shop gang tried to get him to open the briefcase. He does so, then would use try to use the gun to escape, only to discover that it's fake, like the one Boris sold Tommy. | |

Greedy Jew | |
Snatch. / int_12dc4d97 | comment |
Greedy Jew: Cousin Avi is a Jewish gangster from New York who travels to London after his associate Frankie Four Fingers gets lost upon stealing a large diamond from Antwerp. Avi downplays this trope, however: he's certainly after the diamond for monetary gain as we can tell in the Dramatis Personae which shows he ends up getting it in the end, but he's equally concerned for Frankie's well-being, and Avi's more prominent negative qualities are profanity, kvetching, and being unbelievably incompetent. Doug the Head is a subversion. He works at a jeweler's shop that inspects stolen gemstones, but he's not greedy, more Affably Evil and incompetent. And he's not even Jewish. | |

A Lighter Shade of Black: Cousin Avi is clearly a powerful Jewish mobster and not an incredibly nice person, but tends to earn more of the audience's sympathy both through not coming across like a vicious Ax-Crazy maniac who considers murder to be the primary-to-only solution to his problems and through being shoved into a hapless farce that makes him come across like an Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain. | |

Angrish: When storming back to his house to get an assault rifle and encountering Tommy and Turkish, Boris cuts off Tommy's attempt to complain about the defective gun he was sold with a Groin Attack, all the while muttering furiously under his breath. Played with, since Boris is actually just speaking in his native language, but since it's untranslated the effect is more or less the same for the audience. | |

Door Dumb: Sol and Vinnie make an unsuccessful attempt to rob a bookie. In retreat after the bullet-proof shutters have fallen over the counter, they are stymied by the shop's door. Needless to say, after they have given up hope of getting out and collapsed to the floor (revealing their unmasked faces to the CCTV), their getaway driver, Tyrone, opens the door the other way to see what's taking them so long. In a Brick Joke, you actually see them push the door to get in. | |

Steel Eardrums: Both averted and played straight: Boris puts in earplugs before shooting Frankie Four-Fingers, but no one else bothers with ear protection and they don't seem to suffer any ill effects. Averted when Sol fires the replica gun in the car to prove they work. It damn near deafens everyone in the car and it bursts all the windows. Hell, if they fired those replicas off near Tony's ear, they probably could have stolen his gun. | |

Non-Indicative Name: Despite the exchange under Exactly What It Says on the Tin above, none of Boris' nick names — Boris the Blade, Boris the Bullet-Dodger, and Boris the Sneaky Fucking Russian — are particularly accurate. He carries a large blade, but doesn't use it much. He doesn't so much dodge bullets as he absorbs them. And he's from Uzbekistan, not Russia. | |

The Dreaded | |
Snatch. / int_2ae29c0d | comment |
The Dreaded: Brick Top and Boris are both this in different ways. Brick Top is in the sense that everyone is frightened of him because he's a powerful and vicious crime boss who tends to go for the most sadistic method of solving his problems. Boris, however, is this because he's so tough that no one wants to have to fight him if they get on his wrong side; he's not suggested to be particularly more evil or ruthless than most of the other characters (while he does do some nasty things throughout the movie, he certainly isn't on Brick Top's level), but he's tough, resilient, and a penchant for "disco biscuits" has left him on the unstable and unpredictable side. | |

No One Should Survive That!: Several of the characters appear to be virtually immortal — including Bullet Tooth Tony and Boris the Blade (aka "Boris the Bullet Dodger"). Shot over and over again they just won't die! Until they do. Boris winds up the victim of a Rasputinian Death, while Tony, who became famous for getting shot 6 times by an enemy and being strong enough to kill the guy with a sword afterwards, gets killed by a stray bullet from a Hand Cannon. | |

Disposing of a Body: Brick Top's very detailed description of how to feed a body to pigs. Lincoln points out that "bad boy yardies" generally create the bodies without thought of erasing the bodies. The Pikeys' other modus operandinote -see Do You Want to Haggle?- comes with the fact that they are nomadic people, meaning that they can drop a dozen bodies in their campsite, bury them and vanish from existence. This is mentioned repeatedly throughout the movie. And what do you know... | |

Dropped a Bridge on Him: Several cases: Franky is set up as being highly addicted to gambling, and one presumes that this is going to play into his arc throughout the film. However, before he can ever even place a bet he's killed by Boris to ensure there were no witnesses that could tie him to the crime. After being set up as having been able to survive six bullets to the chest while still having the strength to kill his shooter, Tony is unceremoniously axed when a stray bullet from Avi wildly firing at the dog after it eats the diamond ends up killing him. | |

Snatch. / int_48c8fcbc | comment |
Kosher Nostra: The characters make several references to the involvement of Jews in the diamond trade. There are several crooked Jewish gangsters mixed up in it, namely Franky Four Fingers and Avi. "Hava Nagila" (a traditional Jewish celebration song) also shows up multiple times in the soundtrack. Usually when something is about to go completely arse-end up for everyone involved. | |

Gory Discretion Shot: Shown when Turkish says that "The Gun shot himself." We see him pointing a gun to his head, and then the camera pans to the right, showing the white bathroom wall. Next thing we know, there is a gunshot and a splatter of red blood on the wall. Same goes for Brick Top getting shot by one of Mickey's men at the end. | |

Losing Is Worse Than Death | |
Snatch. / int_4d54f0e8 | comment |
Losing Is Worse Than Death: Mickey will not take a dive, even when very explicitly and very credibly threatened with death. Subverted in two different ways. First, it's not honor, he's working his own angle. And second, Brick Top's retribution for the first non-dive turns out to be more brutal than he bargained for. | |

Disproportionate Retribution | |
Snatch. / int_50b05d30 | comment |
Disproportionate Retribution: Upon learning that Mickey won't fight unless his mother is bought a new caravan, Brick Top's response is to set fire to Mickey's mother's existing caravan... while she's still asleep inside of it. And plans to wipe out Mickey's entire clan if he doesn't throw the fight. Which means that Mickey's own revenge on Brick Top in fact comes across as pretty well deserved. | |

Snatch. / int_55232afa | comment |
Politically Incorrect Hero: As noted below, the heroes aren't exactly paragons of political correctness, as both Turkish and Tommy are rather casual with the use of the term "pikey" (a derogatory term for the Traveller community) and tend to generally subscribe to the widespread stereotype that they're untrustworthy criminals and con artists. Then again, it's not as if the Travellers in this film don't all uniformly live down to that particular stereotype. | |

Mob-Boss Suit Fitting: There's a scene where Frankie Four Fingers talks with his boss Avi while being fitted for a suit in London. Played more for comedy than anything else, because Frankie is an underling rather than a boss, and some of the suits he is trying on are both a bit outdated and will change very quickly between takes. (For example, he'll be fully in a suit for one take, then a couple of seconds later he'll be half dressed in another, totally different suit from a different era). | |

Trashy Trailer Home: Mickey and his fellow Irish Travellers live in an illegal trailer park. Turkish mentions in narration that these people have no trouble with murder (accidental or otherwise) because all they need to do is bury the corpses, pull stakes, and they will never be found because they live off the grid. Sure enough, after they kill Brick Top and his men in retaliation for the murder of Mikey's mom, Turkish and Tommy arrive to the campground the morning after to find them all gone. Also, aside from Mikey's mother (who becomes an unfortunate example of Too Good for This Sinful Earth courtesy of Brick Top), all of the people in the campground are showcased as loathsome con artists. | |

Collective Death Glare: When Turkish approaches Mickey about participating in a fixed fight for Brick Top after Mickey failed to go along with the first attempt at one, Mickey demands a caravan for his mom as payment. Turkish is so shocked by the sheer gall of Mickey (since Turkish and Tommy are lucky to be alive after Mickey didn't go through with the first fight, have already been cheated out of a caravan by Mickey, and can't afford to buy a caravan because Brick Top took Turkish's savings as punishment after Mickey didn't go down as planned in the first fix) that Turkish starts to go on an angry rant and insults Mickey's mom along the way. This earns him a very angry glare from Mickey and all his friends there, causing Turkish to hastily do a Verbal Backspace. | |

Meaningful Name | |
Snatch. / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
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" at least gets the adjectives dead-on right, but he's actually an Uzbek. Rosebud is named so because he looks like Orson Welles an awful lot. Two of the other fighters Tommy suggests to replace Gorgeous George after Mickey nearly kills him go by the names "Mad Fist Willy" and "John The Gun." Turkish tells him that Mad Fist went mad and the Gun shot himself. | |

No, Mr. Bond, I Expect You to Dine: Turkish has screwed up a deal he had with Brick Top, which cost Brick Top a lot of money. Turkish runs back to his office, hoping he can get there and take all the money he has in his safe and flee the country. Brick Top and his goons are already there. Rather than killing Turkish, Brick Top has Turkish make everyone some tea, has a surprisingly civilized conversation where he explains what Turkish has to do to make up for this, and then, just before leaving, forces Turkish to open his safe and give everything inside to Brick Top. | |

Politically Incorrect Villain: Believing that Boris is Russian, Avi constantly refers to him as a "Cossack," which is meant as an insult because of the Cossacks' perpetration of anti-Jewish pogroms in Russia. Gorgeous George really doesn't like Irish Travellers. Then again, neither does anyone else, including our heroes Tommy and Turkish. Bullet-Tooth Tony might be something of a homophobe, judging by his comments towards the three Yardies. | |

Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: The movie is primarily a wacky comedy focused on criminals and the hijinks the cast get into while trying to find a diamond. And then you have Brick Top, a ruthless and murderous crime boss played completely straight, and who is by far the most nasty and seriously played character in the movie. Even what little humor he brings in only further cements what an asshole he is. | |

From Bad to Worse | |
Snatch. / int_7870735b | comment |
From Bad to Worse: When the bare-knuckle fight goes horribly wrong and Gorgeous George is hospitalized as a result, it puts Turkish and Tommy on thin ice with crime boss Brick Top, and makes them owe him due to the way it screws up betting on the fight that Gorgeous George was supposed to have with Brick Top's fighter. As Turkish can attest, Brick Top is not someone to whom you want to be indebted. Then their replacement fighter Mickey, instead of going through with the order to deliberately lose the fight, instead knocks Brick Top's fighter out with his first punch. This changes things from Turkish being in an uncomfortable spot to spending the rest of the film all but convinced that Brick Top is inevitably going to kill him. | |

Reckless Gun Usage: Firing off a series of rapid shots at a dog while not even looking in the same direction) results in Avi unintentionally killing the infamously unkillable Bullet Tooth Tony. Subverted in the scenes where Boris the Blade sells pistols to Tommy and Franky Four Fingers; both engage in some stupid behavior (Tommy aiming a gun right at Gorgeous George, Franky scratching his temple with the gunbarrel). Boris shows no concern either time, despite being a trained gun professional. Because he knows the guns don't fire. | |

Establishing Character Moment: Brick Top ordering a pair of Mooks tasered and suffocated to death with plastic bags...in full view of witnesses, whom he then effortlessly intimidates into silence. Bullet-Tooth Tony repeatedly slamming a man's head in a car door, then pausing to answer his car phone with a jaunty, "Bonjour!" (doubles as an Actor Allusion to Vinnie Jones doing the same in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels). The credits montage that opens the movie is essentially catching every single character in the middle of a split-second establishing moment, and it spoils the very end of the film as soon as the Title Drop. | |

Worrying for the Wrong Reason | |
Snatch. / int_85ad623 | comment |
Worrying for the Wrong Reason: On the day of the second fight, Tommy is scared that Mickey will knock out the other fighter and that they'll all be killed by Brick Top as a result, and is surprised to see that Turkish is relatively calm about it. Turkish, however, isn't bothered by that. The day in question is also the day of a funeral, specifically Mickey's mom's, and Irish gypsies are known to drink very heavily at funerals, which will no doubt include Mickey himself. What Turkish is worried about is whether Mickey will drink so much that he doesn't even make it to the fourth round of the fight, when he is meant to take the dive. Because both have the same consequence, and are dependent on Mickey and Brick Top, Turkish feels that there is nothing either he or Mickey can do to stop either scenario: | |

What Happened to the Mouse?: Tyrone's fate is not immediately clear; he appears to survive the showdown at the pub, but nothing more is mentioned of him after Sol and Vinnie desert him. John, Brick Top's henchman is last seen long before the ultimate fight, but just prior to it or afterwards is not present at all. He's presumably killed off-screen by the pikeys. Boris the Blade's Brother disappears after the opening scenes, although considering that Boris fails to hide his involvement in the robbery (something that they had decided was of great importance) it's likely that Cousin Avi would have connected the dots and either fired Boris's brother from his organization or had him killed. | |

Black-and-Gray Morality | |
Snatch. / int_8767b1f3 | comment |
Much to his chagrin, Turkish, who is one of the least morally compromised characters in the film, winds up in this position with the feared London Gangster Brick Top. Both men run unlicensed boxing matches, but Turkish's fighter is injured on the eve of a fight, leaving Brick Top unable to take bets in advance at the bookies that he runs, and thus Turkish has to make it up to him by forcing the replacement fighter to throw the fight so Brick Top's associates can make big money from bets placed at ringside on the night of the fight. When the fighter doesn't go through with the dive, this puts Turkish in an even worse position, since Brick Top is intent on making up his losses and wants to take it out of Turkish's hide... or kill Turkish and company if he can't make the money back. | |

Hit Stop: Two during the film's final boxing match: the first, an uppercut that sends Mickey flying; and the second, when Mickey recovers from said uppercut, and lays out his opponent with one punch. | |

Travel Montage: Happens when Cousin Avi travels from New York to London, and again when he returns to New York, and when he goes back to London in the end. All the three times, the footage is part of a brief, frenetic montage of the whole trip, including a passport getting stamped and Avi downing a drink on the plane. | |

Snatch. / int_90e31482 | comment |
Laser-Guided Karma: By the end of the film, Tommy and Turkish, 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 Mickey, who actually out-gambitted everyone. Although his mom was killed... Also, 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. | |

Take a Third Option | |
Snatch. / int_950bbfa7 | comment |
Take a Third Option: Mickey is given two choices: perform in a fixed fight that he has to lose by knockout in the fourth round, or watch as the gangsters forcing him to do this murder his entire clan. (And just to prove they will, they set fire to his mother's caravan — with her inside.) Instead, they decide on a third option. Mickey and the entire clan bet a shitload of money on Mickey knocking out his opponent, which he does, and before the gangsters can do anything about it the clan kills all the gangsters assassins and the head of the mob as well. Moral of the story: don't fuck with Irish Travellers. | |

Villainous Breakdown | |
Snatch. / int_957e5fc2 | comment |
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. After getting beaten, kidnapped, then escaping a car crash only to be blindsided by another car, Boris marches home, Laughing Mad, and muttering to himself in Russian the entire time. | |

Guns Do Not Work That Way: When demonstrating that the replica 22 caliber pistols do indeed work, Sol fires one inside a 4-door sedan. Every window is blown out by the percussion, even though no bullet is actually fired (the replicas only fire blanks). The trio in the car then fall out of the damaged vehicle deafened and spend the rest of the movie asking people to speak louder (from lingering effects of this), which is the actual result of firing any weapon in a confined space. | |

Deer in the Headlights: Discussed, with Turkish remarking on the tendency of people to do this in the face of danger, offering the example of someone who accidentally steps in front of speeding car and freezes out of surprise while pulling a stupid face instead of trying to jump to safety. Moments after this is described, Brick Top ends up having a shotgun pointed right in his face and promptly freezes in shock while pulling a stupid face just before his head gets blown off. | |

Mob Debt | |
Snatch. / int_9a5eca2e | comment |
Mob Debt: The backstory of Frankie "Four Fingers" involves this. Frankie, who is The Gambling Addict, apparently made some bad bets with the wrong people once upon a time and got a finger cut off as punishment. Much to his chagrin, Turkish, who is one of the least morally compromised characters in the film, winds up in this position with the feared London Gangster Brick Top. Both men run unlicensed boxing matches, but Turkish's fighter is injured on the eve of a fight, leaving Brick Top unable to take bets in advance at the bookies that he runs, and thus Turkish has to make it up to him by forcing the replacement fighter to throw the fight so Brick Top's associates can make big money from bets placed at ringside on the night of the fight. When the fighter doesn't go through with the dive, this puts Turkish in an even worse position, since Brick Top is intent on making up his losses and wants to take it out of Turkish's hide... or kill Turkish and company if he can't make the money back. | |

Greater-Scope Villain | |
Snatch. / int_9b06e314 | comment |
In a deleted scene, Brick Top thinks he has acquired the diamond (it's actually a fake but he doesn't know that) and tries to sell it back to Cousin Avi. Avi immediately sees through it and explodes, thinking that Brick Top is trying to rip him off. As with the Greater-Scope Villain example, Brick Top looks incredibly unnerved by this, making it clear that for all that he's been presented as the most immediately dangerous man in the movie and Avi has been depicted in almost Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain terms, Avi is still an incredibly dangerous and powerful man, more so than Brick Top, and making an enemy of him is not a good idea. | |

Took a Level in Badass: Tommy, Turkish's timid little sidekick, grows a pair of giant Brass Balls before the movie is over. He saves Turkish's ass by walking in with his defective Hand Cannon and facing down a half-dozen of Brick Top's mooks armed with various bladed and blunt weapons. When Errol advances on him, does he back down, knowing his gun won't fire? Nope. He steps forward, shoves the gun in Errol's face and dares him to try anything. Inverted with Sol and company, who get less badass with each scene. When they attempt to hold up Tony, they bottom out. | |

Dumber Than They Look: Avi acts and dresses a lot smarter than his clueless partner Doug the Head—knowing that letting his friend Frankie Four Fingers gamble is a bad idea—but when it comes to actual criminal work, he doesn't have a clue what he's doing. He actually has to ask where Boris the Bullet Dodger got his name from, addresses Boris as a Russian repeatedly, despite people telling him that Boris is from Uzbekistan, and once a dog eats the expensive diamond he's after, he starts firing a gun furiously in every direction without looking at where he's shooting, which leads to him shooting Tony by accident. And then there's this lovely exchange between him and Bullet Tooth Tony: | |

Averted with the Desert Eagle, Point Five-Oh. Both because it is very much used for shooting and killing things, and because Bullet-Tooth Tony doesn't need a weapon to be intimidating. That said, he does use it to get Sol, Vinnie, and Tyrone to back down, countering that their fake weapons for intimidation are trumped by his real one. | |

And Mickey, who gives his first opponent about 8 free hits before laying him out. | |

Snatch. / int_9f6fb586 | comment |
Leitmotif: The film uses Leitmofs occasionally by sampling bits of songs from its soundtrack when it shifts focus to another group of characters. Perhaps most noticeable is the use of "Dreadlock Holiday" several times when focus switches to the pawn shop gang. Just as conspicuous is the Russian folk tune "Korobushka", which tends to follow Boris wherever he goes. As in, he walks into a room, the song plays, he walks out, it stops, he walks back in, it continues. | |

Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: Mickey O'Neil, while not exactly a villain, is a manipulative, sneaky con-artist who cheats Tommy and Turkish out of their money repeatedly by selling them a shoddy caravan and tricking Gorgeous George into sparring with him so he can knock him out and ensure Tommy doesn't get his money back. That said, he cares deeply for his kindly mother, and agrees to participate in the rigged boxing match in order to buy her a new caravan. So when Brick Top has his mother immolated within her own caravan, Mickey gets even with him...brutally. Also Errol, if Brick Top preventing him from responding to Turkish's taunt about having sex with her is anything to go by. | |

Benevolent Boss: Avi, sort of. He has a seemingly fatherly relationship with Frankie, affectionately calling him "Bubi" and is genuinely concerned for his well-being when he disappears (though he's even more worried about losing the diamond). | |

MacGuffin: The 86 carat diamond. Several characters spend much of the film trying to get the diamond, however by the end of the film, most of the bad guys end up in jail or dead. The diamond gets swallowed by a dog which in turn is adopted by Turkish and Tommy, the only main characters who were not involved with the diamond plot. However, the other (much smaller, but way more numerous) diamonds stolen along with the big one are quickly forgotten. | |

Snatch. / int_a70223 | comment |
After being spared solely because Tony ran out of bullets, Tyrone makes no attempt to return to the Pawn Shop, and is ultimately the only member that avoids death and arrest. Granted, he's probably in the hospital recovering from being shot and is also likely being investigated by the police if U.K. laws are anything like those of the U.S.note U.S. law requires a police report for any injury resulting from a gunshot and the person injured gets interviewed by the police. If the police think the story is suspicious or you have a criminal history, it's a quick way to find yourself under serious investigation and being followed or otherwise monitored by the authorities. (Anytime a crook in a U.S. crime movie has been shot and refuses to go to a hospital, that's the reason behind it.) | |

Roguish Romani: Turkish and Tommy need to quickly find a replacement fighter and end up recruiting Irish Traveller bare-knuckle boxing champ Mickey O'Neil. The "pikeys" are supposedly all thieves and liars, but this is coming from a cast made up entirely of London Gangsters, jewel thieves, armed robbers, and unlicensed boxing promoters, and Mickey and the other Travellers end up putting one over Brick Top and getting away scot-free, which is treated as a happy ending and well-deserved. | |

Fatal Flaw: Frankie Four Fingers' gambling addiction is exploited by Boris the Blade - he tricks him into placing a bet on the fight at the bookies so that Sol and Vinny can rob him and Boris can get the diamond. That said, Boris didn't actually plan on killing him. Brick Top's ego, arrogance and perpetuance for violence cause him to greatly underestimate Mickey and his crew, which cost him dearly. | |

Tommy is panicking about what to do if any of the countless things that can go wrong with the plan they're forced into go wrong. Turkish has no trouble working out the right thing to do but Tommy doesn't seem too happy with a plan involving "get murdered before we leave the building and I imagine we get fed to the pigs." Bullet-Tooth Tony and Avi spend most of their part in the proceedings dealing with things via copious amounts of heavy sarcasm as well. "Anything to declare?" "Yeah — don't go to England!" | |

Even the Subtitler Is Stumped: Mickey is deliberately unintelligible as a response to complaints about hard-to-understand British actors in the director's previous film, and at certain points the film's subtitles resort to question marks. The DVD commentary reveals that Pitt came up with the gibberish on his own and even he has no idea what he is supposed to be saying. There is an option on the DVD to turn on "Pikey Subtitles", which explain what Mickey and other Pikey characters are saying, but at one point even they are stumped and resort to the aforementioned "???" | |

Snatch. / int_af2547c9 | comment |
Informed Flaw: Doug's view of Bullet-Tooth Tony as 'a liability' doesn't seem entirely fair, since he's pretty much a paragon of efficient, understated badassery throughout the film. Yes, in real life you'd probably get pulled in for driving along with an informant's head trapped in your car window or drawing a Desert Eagle in a pub - but in a universe where one can apparently limp freely through London flourishing an assault rifle and muttering to oneself in Uzbek, that's not really relevant. Granted, Doug's reaction to the mention of Tony may just be an indication that, to him, the situation has escalated the possibility of Tony's involvement will make things too violent and dangerous for Doug's liking. Given that seconds later, Tony is shown slamming a guy's head against the door of his car, and how violent some of the events Tony is involved with will become, Doug's not exactly wrong. | |

Bottomless Magazines: Averted and followed. Bullet Tooth Tony is unable to kill Tyrone because he runs out of bullets killing Boris — he pulls the trigger, the gun goes click, and he calls him a "lucky bastard". In this sequence, he reloads at least once, and each magazine holds 7 shots, exactly as many as the real Desert Eagle in .50 AE holds. Later on, however, Cousin Avi gets the gun and fires 10 shots at a dog without a reload. | |

Epic Fail | |
Snatch. / int_b4eff8a8 | comment |
Epic Fail: Pretty much anything Sol and Vinnie put their minds to. In their defining moment, Boris the Blade hires them to take a briefcase from Frankie Four Fingers, who had been sent to place a bet at a bookmaker's. They are to rob the bookie's place as well, so it wouldn't look too suspicious to Frankie when they steal the case from him. In the end, they'd get the cash from the bookie's, Boris would get the case. Unfortunately, their getaway driver, Tyrone, backs into the van Frankie had used to get to the scene, knocking him out and trapping him inside it. Later that night, they see someone carrying a case go inside, and without attempting to verify the target, Sol and Vinnie enter the bookie's, only to find that it's (obviously) the wrong person, and furthermore that the bookie's has no cash because all bets are off. Then the cashier lady deftly disarms Sol of his shotgun and trips the alarm. Then they attempt (and fail) to open the front door. Reasoning that it's a security door that locked when the alarm was pushed, they try to Shoot Out the Lock. The door turns out to be bulletproof, and Vince gets his leg grazed by the ricochet. They fall down in exhaustion and take off their ski masks, at which point they notice the security camera that's just caught them both unmasked. And then, to top it off, Tyrone shows up to get them...it turns out the reason they couldn't open the front door is because they tried to push the "pull" side of the door. The clincher is that the pair are completely unknown in that part of the underworld, and the camera fails to be of any use because the owner doesn't recognize them... but Tyrone is recognized. Epic Fail indeed. | |

Cousin Avi is a Jewish gangster from New York who travels to London after his associate Frankie Four Fingers gets lost upon stealing a large diamond from Antwerp. Avi downplays this trope, however: he's certainly after the diamond for monetary gain as we can tell in the Dramatis Personae which shows he ends up getting it in the end, but he's equally concerned for Frankie's well-being, and Avi's more prominent negative qualities are profanity, kvetching, and being unbelievably incompetent. | |

Car Fu: Tyrone gets knocked over by John and Errol in their car so Brick Top can interrogate him, Frankie Four Fingers gets knocked out when Tyrone reverses into his van by sheer accident, and the Pawn Shop boys accidentally knock Boris the Blade over when they run into him after he escapes Tony's car boot. | |

Irony | |
Snatch. / int_c335b9ec | comment |
Irony: To such a degree that 'Ironic Situations' could be a replacement title for the movie. Some notable examples include: Sol, Vincent and Tyrone are hired by Boris to rob Frankie as he's putting a bet on at the bookies under cover of robbing the entire establishment. They sit outside for hours waiting for him to show up...completely unaware that he was in the van they rear-ended as they arrived and was knocked unconscious by the collision. Tommy and Turkish, the only two main characters who were not involved in the diamond plot and had no idea it even existed, end up acquiring and profiting from it. Tony, Avi, Doug, and Rosebud discuss how difficult it will be to find Boris. Cue Boris calmly ambling into Doug's shop that very moment. Sol and Vincent lie to Avi and Tony that the dog must have eaten the diamond when it's not in the place they claimed to have hidden it. Upon finally revealing that it was in Vinny's underwear the whole time, Avi sits down to inspect it only to have the dog immediately actually eat it. | |

Snatch. / int_c3448a6f | comment |
Informed Attribute: Tony's borderline invincibility. While he's a very efficient hitman and a Consummate Professional, his ultimate demise comes from catching a single stray bullet from a Avi. For some reason, Solomon is convinced Tyrone is an excellent wheelman. He is not only all of 500 lbs.—as shown in the hysterical bit of him trying to get out of the stolen car at the gas station—but he can't parallel park in a space that could fit at least three cars, and instead reverses and crashes into the van that just so happens to contain Franky Four Fingers, which knocks him out and inadvertently causes the screwup when Sol and Vince go to rob the bookies. Lampshaded amazingly by Vince. | |

Boom, Headshot!: After Vinnie reveals Boris' name in the presence of Franky Four Fingers, the Uzbek promptly shoots Franky in this manner. This is also how Boris himself, Brick Top and possibly Bullet Tooth Tony all meet their ends, though in the last one's case it's ambiguous if his head was where he was shot, and it was also an accident on the shooter's part. | |

Shout-Out | |
Snatch. / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: When Mickey "wins" a new trailer van for his mother from Turkish, he specifically picks out "periwinkle blue" as the color. During the opening credits, the Hasidic-clad diamond thieves are discussing the Virgin Mary. This is a reference to Reservoir Dogs, where during the opening scene the thieves are discussing "Like a Virgin". One of the boxers is called Bomber Harris. "Bomber Harris" was the nickname of Arthur Harris, chief of RAF Bomber Command in World War II. The name later appeared in a German Monty Python special as the name of a man who wrestles himself — Colin "Bomber" Harris. Just before Mickey and Bomber Harris begin their fight, Bomber Harris head-butts Mickey just after the bell rings. Mickey recoils checking for blood on his glove and then floors his opponent with one punch. This was a nod towards Lenny "The Guv'nor" McLean when he fought "Mad Gypsy" Bradshaw in an almost identical fight. Lenny McLean worked with Guy Ritchie on Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels and passed away in 1998. | |

Dodge the Bullet: Boris The Bullet Dodger seems to have a talent for making bullets miss him. In Boris' death scene, Tony has to use every bullet from a Desert Eagle magazine before he manages to hit Boris, and that only works because he aims very carefully with the last shot. The .50AE Desert Eagle's absolutely hellacious recoil probably wasn't doing Tony's marksmanship any favours though. | |

When it's revealed that as well as putting money on himself to win the fight and winning it, thus ripping Bricktop off completely, he and his fellow Travellers have arranged an ambush in which they bloodily wipe out pretty much all of Brick Top's organisation, including Brick Top himself.

Bad People Abuse Animals: Brick Top organizes dog fights in addition to boxing matches and repeatedly jabs a dog with a stick to get it to fight. Guy Ritchie included this scene after having a conversation with a Brazilian man who said that in his country, the worst kind of criminals are animal abusers (namely, dogs.) Additionally, Avi is willing to have a dog cut open to get a diamond out of its stomach, which horrifies Bullet Tooth Tony. Ironically, in real life, Brick Top's actor Alan Ford is an animal rights activist. | |

Weapon for Intimidation: Despite Tommy's revolver being defective, he successfully uses it to hold up Brick Top's mooks when they have Turkish surrounded. Vinnie brings a gigantic assault shotgun to the bookie robbery, saying that it's to "raise pulses." Sol doesn't approve. Vinnie and Sol are forced to take a downgrade by using replica, blank-firing pistols in an attempt to mug Tony. Averted with the Desert Eagle, Point Five-Oh. Both because it is very much used for shooting and killing things, and because Bullet-Tooth Tony doesn't need a weapon to be intimidating. That said, he does use it to get Sol, Vinnie, and Tyrone to back down, countering that their fake weapons for intimidation are trumped by his real one. | |

Screw This, I'm Outta Here | |
Snatch. / int_d9cf40fa | comment |
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Gorgeous George tries to pull this on Mickey after the latter refuses to stay down during their fight. After Brick Top lets the Pawn Shop boys out of a gruesome execution, Lincoln (seemingly the only one who is an actual Yardie) wants no part of the trio and is not seen or mentioned again. Can you blame him, really? Pretty much said word-for-word by Sol after Tony unloads his Desert Eagle into a hallway containing Boris (who was also about to shoot them with an AK assault rifle), Avi, Sol, Vincent, and Tyrone. After seeing both Tyrone and Boris are hit and realizing how close he just came to dying, (and might still die after Tony breaks through the door) Sol assesses the situation and comes to the following conclusion as to what course of action they should pursue: After being spared solely because Tony ran out of bullets, Tyrone makes no attempt to return to the Pawn Shop, and is ultimately the only member that avoids death and arrest. Granted, he's probably in the hospital recovering from being shot and is also likely being investigated by the police if U.K. laws are anything like those of the U.S.note U.S. law requires a police report for any injury resulting from a gunshot and the person injured gets interviewed by the police. If the police think the story is suspicious or you have a criminal history, it's a quick way to find yourself under serious investigation and being followed or otherwise monitored by the authorities. (Anytime a crook in a U.S. crime movie has been shot and refuses to go to a hospital, that's the reason behind it.) When Avi realises he's just accidentally killed Bullet-Tooth Tony, he jumps on a plane right back to New York. | |

Though he's initially introduced in the movie for some comic relief between Sol and Vinnie, swallowing the diamond in the back of Sol and Vinny's shop sets up Turkish and Tommy to recover the diamond when they find the dog in the abandoned pikey camp at the end of the movie, connecting the two stories together. | |

Alter Kocker: The Uzbekistani (Russian) and American gangsters in the opening credits dress up in Hasidic dress and put on Yiddish accents to infiltrate the Jewish diamond depot. They spend the entire sequence arguing Talmudic law before they drop their disguises and pull out the guns. | |

Snatch. / int_deecec48 | comment |
Tommy, Turkish's timid little sidekick, grows a pair of giant Brass Balls before the movie is over. He saves Turkish's ass by walking in with his defective Hand Cannon and facing down a half-dozen of Brick Top's mooks armed with various bladed and blunt weapons. When Errol advances on him, does he back down, knowing his gun won't fire? Nope. He steps forward, shoves the gun in Errol's face and dares him to try anything. | |

He gives them some extremely detailed advice on how to dispose of Frankie's body. Vinnie and Sol are both visibly disturbed when they hear this information; Vinnie asks Brick Top who he is, and Brick Top introduces himself as their nemesis ("A righteous infliction of retribution, manifested by an appropriate agent."). | |

Vinnie then says that Franky was the only one who knew the combination to the case. Undeterred, Boris chops Franky's arm off, removes the wire, takes the case, and leaves them with Franky's body. | |

Dramatic Gun Cock: First subverted when Vince wastes rounds robbing a bookies. And he doesn't even get to use it and has it stolen from him. And even worse, it's the only real gun they had. Played Straight when Tommy saves Turkish from a vicious beating (or worse) by pulling a gun on the attacking thugs. When the leader tries to talk him down, Tommy cocks the hammer to show he's serious. Justified as it's a bluff, the gun is either damaged/defective and doesn't work. | |

Dismembering the Body: When Brick Top arrives at Sol and Vinny's pawnshop, he finds them haplessly trying to dispose of Franky Four-Fingers' body, and provides the pair with some friendly advice: since it's so tricky to lift a corpse, it's simpler to cut it up into six pieces for later disposal - Brick Top's method of choice being to feed the pieces to a pack of hungry pigs. Sol and Vinnie are nonplussed... up until Brick Top reveals that the bookies they robbed last night belonged to him. Outside, a gang of thugs armed with hacksaws are ready to dismember Sol and Vinny's bodies while they're still alive. | |

Dumbass Has a Point | |
Snatch. / int_f360fc33 | comment |
Dumbass Has a Point: The Pawn Shop Boys and Tyrone all take turns being the one who is competent or otherwise having a point. After being completely useless up to that point and having inadvertently screw up the robbery by crashing into Frankie's van (both KOing Frankie and trapping him in the back) Tyrone is the one who shows Sol and Vince that the bookie's door opens inwards. Immediately after that, he spots Frankie stumbling out of the van, recognizes him as their target for the robbery, and completes their initial objective by punching Frankie out and stuffing him in the car with the rest of the gang. Sol, for all the mistakes he makes during the attempt to rob the bookies, is correct in warning Vinnie beforehand that his massive shotgun is impractical for a simple robbery. Vinnie points out the flaws in hiring Tyrone as their getaway driver, and the absolute foolishness in testing out their replica handguns while inside a moving car, which left everyone in the car deafened and blew out the car's windows. Errol (who isn't actually a dumbass, but Brick Top insists on treating him as Dumb Muscle), cautiously advises Brick Top to kill Turkish and the Pawn Shop boys on separate occasions rather than involving them in further schemes or getting drawn into theirs. Both times he is chided, but his advice would have saved Brick Top a few headaches. | |

Murder Is the Best Solution | |
Snatch. / int_f6b30338 | comment |
Murder Is the Best Solution: The dilemma faced by Tommy after Gorgeous George is laid out with one punch by Mickey at the Travellers' campsite. It looks as though Gorgeous is dead, and as Turkish's narration points out, since that the Travellers are nomads anyway there's absolutely no reason for them to hang around and answer awkward questions from the authorities about why a man died in their campsite when they can just bury two people and disappear to another campsite never to be seen again. Fortunately for both, George is seriously injured but alive, but for a moment there, Tommy looks rather concerned. Foreshadowing is at work here; the Travellers end up doing just this, just to Bricktop's gangsters instead. Killing people also appears to be Bricktop's preferred solution to problems as well. | |

Split-Screen Phone Call: Guy Ritchie's DVD Commentary reveals that in order to cut costs the two sides of the phone conversation between Cousin Avi and Doug the Head were shot at separate times on the same physical piece of film — which is why the timing is slightly off. | |

The Dog Bites Back: After Brick Top has Mickey's mother killed, Mickey plays nice exactly long enough for his clan to put a plan to wipe out Brick Top and his men into motion. | |

Pet the Dog | |
Snatch. / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Pet the Dog: Bullet-Tooth Tony, who has no problem whatsoever shooting, slicing or otherwise dishing out pain to human opponents, balks at Avi's suggestion to "open" the dog in order to obtain the massive diamond which said dog had swallowed. After Mickey's mother is killed by Brick Top, Turkish apologizes to Mickey for his loss. Considering how obnoxiously he's interacted with Mickey in every scene together beforehand, it's pretty heartwarming. Mickey, for his own part, tells Turkish not to apologize, because he didn't kill Mickey's mother. | |

Chromosome Casting: Downplayed, but there are only four female speaking parts in the film in total — Doug's twin daughters, Mickey's mum and the clerk at the bookies. | |
