[edit] TV

Wasn't it made into a TV series as well? Mark Richards 07:35, 11 Mar 2004 (UTC)

There was a brief series in 2000 although most of the characters were played by differnt actors. [1] 152.163.100.135 06:12, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

And there's even a WikiPedia entry for it, here: Lock, Stock...The Series.--Peter Knutsen 15:59, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Not only were all the actors different, so were all the characters! The tenuous link between the two was that they both featured four young men as the "heroes", living on their wits and narrowly avoiding violence or death at the hands of a crime lord, and shared stylistic similarities (style of dress, general political incorrectness, relentless swearing, violence). In fact, the only real connection between the two was the involvement of Guy Ritchie as director of the film and co-executive producer of the TV series.—Martan 15:20, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Botanicals killed?

The main article says that during Dog's raid, one botanical has his foot shot off ("I'm in so much pain") and one is killed.

I don't remember one being killed. I recall Gloria shooting a robber with the Bren gun as he was about to knife the botanical who has previously attacked him.

The one with the machete is shot after he wounds one of the robbers. Night Gyr 17:29, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 2 more deaths

I guess there were 19 dead bodies, not 17: remember two people in lift, killed by the Big Chris. 89.110.6.238 14:03, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chris & the guns

I have a question about this part of the synopsis: "Chris, who recognizes the guns that Dog is holding as those his boss wanted, surprises him and takes the guns and the money to Harry."

Perhaps I'm misremembering, but I don't think Chris knew about the guns. He grabbed them up along with the money and brought them to Harry because, as Chris puts it (more or less--I'm sure I'm misquoting), "I know you're interested in that sort of thing." Am I mistaken? --ShelfSkewed 05:06, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

No, you are correct. The only people who knew about the guns value were Harry and Barry (and the original owners of course). --124.186.238.96 06:49, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
