comment
The TV series spinoff of Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels which aired on Channel 4 in 2000. None of the actors or characters from the film returned, but it was very much a Spiritual Successor — a Strictly Formula crime caper comedy set in East London, with four lads, a menacing London Gangster of whom they frequently ran afoul, Cluster F Bombs, Cockney slang and witty dialogue coming out the ears. The series consists of one 90-minute TV movie followed by six 50-minute episodes; each episode title begins with the words "Lock, Stock and", with the rest of the title referring to the MacGuffin of the week (or one of them at any rate). Guy Ritchie, who was working on Snatch. at the time when this series was being made, is credited as one of the writers of the first episode, in addition to being an executive producer along with Matthew Vaughn and, err, Chris Evans (not that one).

All Men Are Perverts: The lads are established as this very early on in the first episode, when they, being the owners of a pub, have come up with a way to get attractive women to perform stripteases in front of them for free.

comment
Like Father, Like Son: Robbie Rossi is a Con Man whose favoured scam, the "Limehouse Lag" (he sells dodgy goods in bulk and then steals them back using heavies posing as customs men, leaving the mark with no money and no goods), is recognised by Miami as being a scam run by Robbie's dad back in The '80s. Miami claims to have run Rossi senior out of London for this (explaining why Robbie's family moved Oop North), and it is implied that he has Robbie killed for coming back to London and running the same scam. We also see a mother-daughter example with Tanya, who works as a stripper in Lapland; Moira, her mum, owns 10% of said strip club and is implied to have been a stripper herself back in the day.

comment
Bland-Name Product: The Dutch guys are purveyors of very dodgy knock-off brands like "Vagira" (imitation viagra, which triggers a fatal heart attack for anyone unfortunate enough to take it) and "Bacradi" (a colourless spirit note  presumably white rum going by the name, but given what it does to people, who the fuck knows what's really in it? which renders an entire hen party unconscious, and when they do wake up they all have no memory of the previous 24 hours).

More Dakka: It's the only way Bunny and Macca know how, probably because they're always off their tits on cocaine. Which is why Miami decides that their services are no longer required. Nefarious and Kouros also invoke this to get back at the Turks, once they get hold of the AK47s.

Shotgun Wedding: When the lads get the job of filming a wedding in "Lock, Stock and Spaghetti Sauce", it's one of these — the bride is visibly pregnant and a fight breaks out among the two families. The lads get more than they bargained for as they are called in to help when the groom tries to do a runner; after frog-marching him into the church, they are rewarded with sexual favours from the bridesmaids.

comment
Minion with an F in Evil: Trevor, one of Miami's underlings, comes across as this — the guy even breaks out into a sweat when tasked with doing anything villainous. That said, when he does screw up he doesn't try to pin the blame on anyone else, which Miami respects. Barbie also counts — she's Miami's secretary and invariably comes across as a woman who just happens to work for a villain rather than being an actual villain herself.

Disproportionate Retribution: When Three Feet and Trevor get beaten up when they pay a visit to Eddie the Diamond's bar in "Lock, Stock and Two Hundred Smoking Kalashnikovs", Miami calls in every local villain he can think of, bribes the police to look the other way and buys a vanload of AK-47s (hence the episode's title) and an anti-tank missile in order to take Eddie down. Things do not go according to plan because the lads inadvertently steal the guns, but the intent is clearly there.

Mystery Meat: Kouros from the kebab shop is in no way fussed about what sort of meat goes into his kebabs; at one point he refers to trapping pigeons on the roof because he's low on chicken. When the lads go into the meat business in "Lock, Stock and One Big Bullock", he becomes one of their customers and doesn't mind that a box of what he's told is rabbit meat contains at least one cat collar. That said, he does ask them to provide him with lamb "from actual lambs" for a family event.

Gilligan Cut: Used a few times. When the lads go to the races in "Lock, Stock and Four Stolen Hooves", Jamie bets Moon £20 that he can sweet-talk his way into the VIP enclosure. Cut to ... Jamie handing Moon £20 in front of two burly security guards. In "Lock, Stock and Two Sips", Jamie tells the other lads that Uncle Keith's condition of lending him the money to pay off Miami is that they've got to put an expat mate of his up in the pub for a few days as he's got to lie low when he gets back to London due to his being a marked man. Lee asks if they've got to go to "City or Stansted" to pick him up (referring to the two smallest of London's five airports note  the larger three being Heathrow (obviously), Gatwick and Luton — and yes, despite having the word "London" in their official names, three of the five airports — Gatwick, Luton and Stanstead — could in no way be defined as being in London, while Heathrow's a borderline case, being only just within the M25 ). Jamie replies that it's not that simple. Cut to ... the four lads in a rowing boat, meeting up with a dilapidated trawler somewhere on the Thames Estuary. At night.

Asshole Victim: Barry Blue (a.k.a. Broadmoor Barry), a psychotic loan shark who is said to have killed his pet rottweiler "because it looked at him funny", may be many things ... but he's not a grass. That, however, is what Miami has him killed for after Trevor backs up Lee's unfounded accusation about Barry being an informant; both men have good reasons for wanting him out of the picture — Trevor because he's just had a severe beating from the guy, and Lee because he foolishly borrowed money from him and can't repay.

National Stereotypes: The Greeks run a kebab shop (and are feuding with some Turks who also run a kebab shop), the Dutchies are stoners, the Russians are psychos who drink vodka straight from the bottle, and the German has a mullet.

Shout-Out: Miami's name is obviously this to the TV show, although when he's introduced on stage during the charity gig in "Lock, Stock and Two Sips", the band plays the theme from Hawaii Five-O. When chewing out Bunny and Macca (who seemingly can't do a job without cocaine and excessive gunfire), he invokes Scarface... Miami 's Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow looks very similar to Harold Shand's one in The Long Good Friday. A poster for Get Carter can be seen adorning one of the walls in the pub.

Expy: Most of the characters are this to characters from the movie. The main gang consists of four lads who are small-time criminals engaging in various schemes and scams; in both the movie and the TV series, one of them is a chef, and one of them is called Bacon. They often interact with a fence who is of Greek ethnicity note  Greek Cyrpiot in the TV series, but still and invariably cross paths with the local crime boss, who has a scary enforcer. Plus, there's a gang of sharply-dressed yardies whose leader is known for setting people on fire if they displease him.

The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: The Lock — the pub that the lads run — is hardly ever seen to be open for business; they themselves are often seen to be drinking there, and they'll use it as a base for their various hustles, but it's rare for them to have any actual customers. An early scene in "Lock, Stock and Two Sips", in which it's stated that they've been doing a roaring trade of late, is an exception.
