Before watching this movie, I honestly never knew anything about football firms. This is why I liked the movie, but I have one problem with it. Could Elijah Wood have been any more of a queer in this film? I feel like the movie would have been ten times better if anyone other than him was cast in that role.

I also don't understand why the movie even uses the word hooligan in the title. Is the word even said in the movie?

The word "Scarface" is never uttered in Scarface

Football hooligans won't refer to themselves as hooligans. But it's ideal for the film to be titled that, so that it immediately lets people know what the film will involve.

I think that was the purpose of the role. To find a weak guy that everyone walks all over and teach him how to stand up for his self and become somewhat of a man. He played that role perfectly. That is the way you need to look at it.

I think maybe the knowledge that Wood really is queer fricked it up for you.

I liked it. He wasn't supposed to be badass. Far from it. He was a bookish Harvard kid who gets toughened up a bit.

And their club song is awesome, though I have no idea what it's supposed to mean.
