There's a Football factory sequel in production called MARCHING POWDER i belive lol

Jimmy what I've been impressed with, your from a place,, never have I heard you sound or speak with ego or trying,, I grew up in Orange County California... Huntington Beach/Westminster.. I'm 50, I was My music life, had to earn it here, until they knew you would fight every time questioned or challenged, violent everywhere, my other life was BMX my local shop was one of the 1st to sell GT bikes, your feature on This culture and evolution.. like you were here Brother.. Always entertaining and worth watching.. Oi Oi Oi @∅

Sherlock Homes was a hardman. If you look into some of the history of his character then you know that he was a bare knuckle boxer/stick cain fighter and drug fiend. The more modern portrayal of him by robert downey junior is fairly accurate.

@@AtZero138 Thanks man! appreciate the comment

dont forget "Brighton Rock" 1948.. watch it if you have not, pinky

Truly

Oh no he din't omfg

I'm pretty confident he wrote his name in the wrong box (spelled incorrectly of course) and didn't notice until it was too late

Dani Dyer named her son Danny Dyer.

The professional cockney ,

Was probably fake though…just give them a tenner and create a scenario

Im 50/50 on that scene in Papaua New Guinea...definitely credible to suggest it was real, it wasnt an AK IIRC, it was a shot gun or some form of old long rifle.

@@interesting2491 it wasnt fake that is how the gang tests new people.he passed the test

Did you know they told him what SAS it stands for Super Army Soldiers

Is this that scene where they were sprinkling cocaine on the floor to get rid of “bad juju” ? 🤣

Yeah, right! Cant believe people are not picking that!

Jacob Rees-Mogg is about an accurate portrayal of the quintessential British man, as Borat is of the typical Kazakhstani

Come on that's a very well known Latin phrase, at least here in Italy

​@Bolognabeef OK? Well it's not a well known phrase in England.

Check out Ultimate Force

@@Desmond9100 that show was basically the prototype for Strike Back.

You should go

@@Naz-xk6hq Damn, the good old days. They don't make shows like that and Banshee any more

@@ras7646 Banshee was far better in my opinion, I got bored of Strike back towards season 5. Strike back was so excessive in gunfights and tits that you practically became desensitised to it. It didnt help that it happened in every episode, which didnt allow room for character development that wouldve benefited the show. The moment that made me think this was getting ridiculous was when Scott was talking to an FSB agent, that he had a prior fling before with, about getting raped by a man she was sent to infiltrate, and then they *immediately* have sex afterwards. This frustrates me because they could have had a good opportunity for character development here for Scott, who constantly shags every female character within a 10 meter vicinity , to compensate for his trauma aswell. He simply could have rejected it and it would have showed immense character growth.

The RAF was the most diverse employer in the 1940s. Aussies, Saffers, Cariibbeans, Sikhs, Poles, French, Dutch, Belgians, Danes, Norwegians, Czechs etc. My grandad, an Irish citizen, started the war as an LAC, and finished as a Squadron Leader, offered Wing commander if he stayed in.

it has a lot of personality, you do sometimes here it but its dying. maybe a video in there

It's a shame, but it kind of lives on in Essex. Most of the white working class in east London have moved further east to Essex

​@@mongrel_97username checks out

Yeah, 1906-1909.

look up 'that uk sound - Jamaica connection'

Yawn.

Sounds very interesting too me as a German, did they mix with nazi ideology or was it that early skins when they still where leftist or so ? All that skins thing is a mysterious topic to me. So many layers of confusion 😅

@@ZoZooZoooZoxxxx I think it has something to do with NF a english national political party and news/movie illustrations of what they think and slowly converted to neo-nazi skinhead but im not entirely sure on that side of history, it is confusing i agree

​@@ZoZooZoooZoxxxxbasically mate, it all really started as a purely musical thing. Back when a lot of the black population in the UK were very largely still immigrants who had come over from Jamaica, they lived in very working class areas alongside working class white folks and the two groups formed a subculture that was all centred around these two distinct demographics combining their different styles of music. This combination became known as two tone ska and was really spear headed by the bands The Selector and The Specials. It was all about spreading the message of love and community spirit through this music. And then after a while, the look and the sound was adopted by the National Front, the people who the person above referred to. Essentially they were neo nazis. And this then led to a huge cultural battle between the two different generations of skinheads. It's very sad as a subculture that was once all about poor people with different ethnic backgrounds coming together and making fun music with a loving message has now become tarnished by right wing thugs.

Its insane how many people haven’t realised that 😂 cheers for ya comment

Cillian Murphy is Irish he is from Cork . Which is actually a sub culture within irisn culture

@@mrbutty143 but where not talking about Cillian Murphy where talking about Tommy Shelby. Like how Christin bale isn’t American billionaire who’s parent where shot dead because he made them leave a play

In fairness to them, it's an incredibly common occurrence to see British media claiming an Irish person as being British or foreign media incorrectly saying we're British (sorry lads, we're not) so seeing Cillian Murphy's character being claimed as British is a little too close to home (for some) I guarantee the only reason McGregor hasn't been claimed by the BBC is because he's such an insufferable ballbag

@@RuB0t spot on

sorry, his name is Shaun Smith. SHAUN SMITH??????

Nah the movie hardman has the brutality of the real-life wannabes but with a charm / humour / propriety absent from the irl equivalents

@@ConorguillReal old timer hardmen used to be a bit like that. The ones that were robbing banks and stuff in the sixties. They are all gone now though.

That scene with Kathy Burke is hard to watch

Ben Kingsley in Sexy beast. The most frightening character I've seen on tv

Yes scum is one of my fave films ever

Scum is the classic ray winstone film

The real carlton leach makes a cameo in it I think.

Did Hooligans sell drugs in real life?

@@MbisonBalrog Yep BIG time by the 90s rave culture also stopped loads of lads heading in that direction

007 is not hard he is just well trained

How about Captain Price?

007 doesn’t fit this archetype

I've never watched Peaky Blinders, but it's a joke that Cillian Murphy is playing a hardman in the first place. He looks like a lesbian. Real hardmen don't even have necks. He's just like Christopher Walken, who often played hardmen, even though he looked like Blanche from the Golden Girls.

​@@bubz3t136so you had all that to say about a show you never watched? Intelligent take, sir.

Begbie was hard, but not so hard that he didn't shite it off 20 years in Sultan.

@@GR-cf4qh You win the comment and all comments. Well played sir.

The Gentlemen is basically Guy Richies version of The Long Good Friday, it even loosely follows the storyline and the (near) ending is the same

Awesome movie awesome cast

Don't forget Michael Caine in 'Get Carter' in 1971, an absolute classic.

Spot on!

Gentleman sucked ass though. @@northfield3654

Have to add . Human traffic , green street, rise of the foot solider, football factory. Some of my favourite films there. Also the fsr superior and original UK shameless is a gem. Frank Gallagher a British treasure

@@Yuuna..Yuuki. Could we include Sacha Baron Cohen's character in 'Grimsby Brothers' as a comedic example - even if it is completely parodic?

English rather than ‘British.’

@@stalfithrildi5366 Dee dar's?

Apparently in real life hes a nice bloke and a bit of a softy and the cockney ardman thing is just an act

Can you blame him. He's a posh boy and he's not a unit, plus a lot of genuine hard men are genuine nutters.

Think Kevin bridges bit on this is best when he's talking about the rangers vs celtic episode of footballs deadliest rivalries and it's like 12AM on a Sunday, people are just waking around in colours drinking coffee and tea and you got Danny trying to hype it up like the battle of Hastings is about to kick off

How the fuck does one even get a job working for the Guinness World Records, anyway? 🙃

He's funny on panel shaws. Standouts for me is when he does 'dictionary corner' on 8OOTCDC.

Terry o'Neill would've played a good scouse hardman villain but he was a very well spoken scouser

Not even the scouser's know what they say half the time.

Scousers, Mancs, Geordies, Weegies and Irish all tough as anyone.

...and now he's changed the title

@@natmanprime4295 hahaha really? Maybe I freaked him out kissing his ass too hard. Such a clever idea for a video I couldn't help myself but get my internet smooch on. Silly me hehehe

Might make a full vid on him - so i didnt wanna go on too much of a tangent

Definitely Long Good Friday, good call. I'd also throw in Scum by Alan Clarke and anything by Shane Meadows. Always felt that many (not all) of the Footie Hardmen type films were showbiz folk fetishizing the stereotype, rather than digging into it. Fun to watch, but little else.

@@itswilbur3747 Scum is a good shout and something by Shane Meadows would be good, I'd say This is England over Dead man's fingers simply because it also had 3 series after.

@@lucian6395 This is England is a and the following series really gets in to the culture/people of the time, in the way that Guy Ritchie/Nick Love types just caricature. Although Dead Man's Shoes really does a great job of showing those small town British bully boys. Knew plenty of them growing up.

I'm surprised that Terry (Dennis Waterman) from Minder and even before that, The Sweeney (hard men cops behaving badly) and even perhaps, The Professionals.

@@gunrock00 That's also a good choice, especially Terry from Minder. His characterisation was different as he was someone who could of been the average hard man, but his morals had him try to do the right thing.

And the Long Good Friday

@@thomsboys77 Without LGF and GC there's a huge history gap in this video.

Too bad the West has been neutered.

Think there's a series called Stevenage and Luton the movie will be using a lot of the same actors.

Yup he was good in human traffic. That's it.

There is a couple of 007movies where he fights British bad guys One of them is Sean bean The other is Robert Carlyle There is probably more Sorry can’t remember the names of these bond movie’s It was the later ones

Bond on vacation getting caught in a pub brawl?

@Elyseon Yeah, Bond walks into a Bar, orders a "Shaken not Stirred" and tries to flirt with a Tough Guy's girlfriend. Tough Guy calls him a posh tosser, and all hell breaks loose as they brawl. Later we learn the Tough Guy and Bond are either supposed to be partners or the Tough Guy is the Villain or his main enforcer. The Tough Guy and Bond try to one up each other and in the end they have a fight where perhaps the Tough Guy wins the Brawl but Bond completes the mission anyway through cunning and the Tough Guy and Bond go their seperate ways with mutual respect and an unfinished rivalry.

Some great and well written characters. Also great shows which actually depicted the real life people rather than the 80-90's films mentioned here.

Do you remember a BBC One program called Gangsters from the 70's?

Francis Begbie is your classic Scottish nutter, a psychopath. For me, I'd say the typical Geezer is more of a sorta, self-aggrandizing sociopath.
