For those of you who don't know; Vinnie Jones was a football player before he became an actor(that's european football for you Americans). And like in the movies, he was badass. Here's a video of Gazza talking about when Vinnie grabbed his balls and told him to stay put during a footballmatch:

And now Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Thanks for reading. I couldn't find enough interesting trivia to make one post about each, so I just smashed them together.
Btw, here's the real video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyCw5RLDyYw
Saw an opening and took it, so sue me:p
All trivia can be found on imdb.com
Next up is: "Raiders of the Lost Ark"

@op please do RockN'Rolla next. Another great Ritchie film. "Ask no questions, you'd hear no lies" -Archy- bad ass character.

How often does Vinnie Jones get arrested for beating people up?
MikeyDoesThings
They were gonna make a statue of him when he used to play football. the statue was gonna be of him squeezing another player's junk

Good rule of thumb: if you want a character that looks like he beats up people, hire a person that actually beats up people.

I never new he died while shooting this! He was one of my favorites and I loved his voice! Very sad!

Great movies! If you haven't seen Rocknrolla you should

WHERE IS ROCKNROLLA 2, GUY RITCHIE?
OopsImAPumpkin
These movies are like modern day Shakespearean comedies. I wish Jason Statham would do more comedy movies. He is very funny.

Dude looks like that actor from kingsmen. Jolly good rogering sir

Colin Firth is the actor. Paul Gascoigne AKA Gazza is the footballer

And now he has a statue of that pose in his home town.
Tredecim

Vinnie.
pocketpython
Vinnie Jones, though I wouldn't put it past Gazza if it was for a bet or laugh
hanshotthird
Is he grabbing Colin Firth?
bachterman
naw, that be gazza, the silver prince of british soccer.

#1 He can't do an Irish accent either

I think that all is what is best about his character's dialog. For all we know it could be complete jibberish, but it works
GuanYuThatsWho
As an Irish its understandable, he's laying it on heavy but definitely makes sense

Ford was great. I couldn't imagine Connery as Brick Top.
Treblaine
Wanna see a kind of prototype Brick Top https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fadw_-4_Y3A
GrimRiderJ
Yeah he was fucking brilliant. Thank you Connery for being douchey
Anthraxious
Same. I doubt Sean Connery would come off as being that horrifying. Alan Ford was awesome in this.
daf4ever
Brick Top is one of the best Villians I've ever seen on a movie.

That was my favourite line of his

On of my favorite lines in cinema.
zackofspades
Yeah I don't think the "you can't afford me" was even all that shitty a remark, I think Connery grew sick of acting etc.
GenerallyKenobi
He did quit acting like a year later lol
Irishda
He turned down roles in both the matrix and Lord of the rings. After they both became huge hits, he agreed to the next script he saw 1
Irishda
The league of extraordinary gentlemen. He hated working with the director, McG, so much, he quit acting immediately after
zackofspades
The funny is that I actually liked that movie, I know critics hated it or whatever but I had fun.
wormfood
Connery got old and couldn't tell what was "cool" anymore. I think that hurt him personally more than acting.
Flyndaran
He was born with a massive ego, but age eventually makes us all look the fool.
zackofspades
Well, a very comfortable and wealthy fool in Mr. Connery's place...also your mother is a whore ^_^
