Lock, Stock and Two smoking barrels is translated very locally called "Two smoking barrels". In fact, there are many ways to explain the name of the movie, depending on how you understand it.

Lock, Stock and Two smoking barrels-Let's fight it out!

British slang, where Lock is a bolt, which means lock & load that we often hear in war films. Stock is the butt. Smoking barrels are barrels that have just been fired.

Old-style shotguns are not automatic weapons and cannot be fired continuously. They need to be reloaded by hand just like in the movie. Therefore, in the English slang, Lock, Stock and Two smoking barrels means "there are only these things left, let's fight it out." In the movie, Eddie is because they owed a gambling debt and forced to "fight the fight"

Lock, Stock and Two smoking Barrels - marijuana, money and shotguns

Lock is black, then in marijuana. Stock means money. There are also two shotguns. The story revolves around these three things. The marijuana was finally taken away by "Snow White", and the money was taken away by Big Chris (that's the thug) and his son. Shotgun... I don't know what

happened in the end... These two explanations are also interlinked. I don't know if Gerich made up the story based on the name or thought the name based on the story.

In addition, a bean friend’s explanation is also very interesting. "Lock refers to the lock in the hall of the gang of marijuana growers. Stock should refer to the batch of "goods" (marijuana), and Two Smoking Barrels is the pair worth £250,000. It’s an antique gun."

    I think the little gangsters in this movie are pretty stylish.

    The British accent always makes people feel like singing...Most of them are structural and physical pleasures, and what the director wants to say is very ordinary.

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels quotes

  • Gary: So who's the gov'? Who we doing this for?

    Barry the Baptist: You're doing it for me, that's all you need to know. You know because you need to know.

    Gary: I see. One of them "on a need to know basis" things is it. Like one of them James Bond films.

    Barry the Baptist: Careful. Remember who's giving you this job.

  • Tom: Listen to this one then; you open a company called the Arse Tickler's Faggot Fan Club. You take an advert in the back page of some gay mag, advertising the latest in arse-intruding dildos, sell it a bit with, er... I dunno, "does what no other dildo can do until now", latest and greatest in sexual technology. Guaranteed results or money back, all that bollocks. These dills cost twenty-five each; a snip for all the pleasure they are going to give the recipients. They send a cheque to the company name, nothing offensive, er, Bobbie's Bits or something, for twenty-five. You put these in the bank for two weeks and let them clear. Now this is the clever bit. Then you send back the cheques for twenty-five pounds from the real company name, Arse Tickler's Faggot Fan Club, saying sorry, we couldn't get the supply from America, they have sold out. Now you see how many of the people cash those cheques; not a single soul, because who wants his bank manager to know he tickles arses when he is not paying in cheques!

    Bacon: So how long do you have to wait for a return?

    Tom: Probably no more than four weeks.

    Bacon: Well what good is that if we need it in six... no, five days?

    Tom: Well it was still a good idea.
