naw

same genre though (british crime caper)

LC is really good though. more serious than the ritchie movies, and without the same visual flair

I don't know about that. Both are really good and I don't think 1 is far better than the other, but I kind of like Snatch better.

I totally just watched this a couple of days ago for the first time. It was as good as I had hoped. I guess it would have been better if I had seen in in 1998 before seeing other Guy Richie films. But it was still good.

It reminded me of Snatch. In fact, I think Snatch was just LS&2SB with a bigger budget.

when lock stock came out very few regular american people knew about it

when snatch came out, it had a much more widespread american audience (plus a bigger budget)

most people prefer the one they saw first

i think lock stock has a better story and less suspension of disbelief required, so i prefer it to snatch

I saw Snatch first and like Lock, Stock better. Though I suppose I'm not most people.

Mean Machine is on Flix right now. Just started. It's Guy Ritchie's take on the longest yard.

Vinnie Jones is Crewe.

All the actors you would expect to see in a Ritchie film including Statham.
