Vinnie Jones


Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

This comedy, the first of Guy Ritchie's Mockney gangster films, became notorious for featuring real East End villains as well as professional actors.

Card sharp Eddy loses £500,000 he doesn't have and has to resort to desparate means to come up with the cash - with outrageous consequences.

Vinnie Jones made the transition from football hard man to Hollywood filmstar as shotgun-toting Big Chris.
