sorry for the stone

If it's hard to find a good realist film these days (it's all swarming with magic),
then it's even harder to find a good comedy film. Thinking of a "Tiger's Mouth Escape" has made me happy for many years!

Therefore, in this sense, "Two Smoking Guns" is very precious.
I have heard about it for a long time, but I finally saw it recently, and it lives up to its reputation.

The pictures and music are of strong British color, much fresher than Hollywood.
Putting aside the domino-esque subtlety of the plot, the music alone is dazzling enough!
The director is like playing a treasure. From the very beginning, he kept throwing out all kinds of British rock along with the development of the story. The lyrics are super relevant, and he vows to be funny to the end.
And it's not anticlimactic, all the plots are explained properly, and finally the big burden is shaken, leaving a small one, so that people wipe their tears and rub their stomachs.
The British didn't laugh this time, but made everyone else laugh.

However, there is one serious regret.

"Crazy Stone": 2006
"Two Smoking Guns": 1998 It
's a shame that the plot and humor of both are so similar, the tone and soundtrack of both are so similar,
it's a shame that Smoking Gun was born so much earlier than Stone for many years.
I'm sorry for the originality of "Crazy Stone",
even though it can be said to be a tribute in its own right.

    Who said this film is better than guessing the train?

    【SAME Screening】Film version. Guy Ritchie's ghost talent debut was a blockbuster. The script is excellent, and the character of each character is very prominent. Highlights such as "the humble woman" have repeatedly flashed, becoming a series of hilarious jokes. Multi-line narrative, high climax, very good rhythm, great smile. Photography also often has surprises that make the audience's eyes shine. Worthy of the Gangster Movie Classic

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.
