TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Ray Winstone did not hit Phil Daniels with the sock containing the billiard balls despite the scene being done in one take. A crew member laid on the floor and handed Winstone another sock containing ping pong balls. Nevertheless, Daniels claimed it was very sore when Ray whacked him with the sock.

Carlin was originally a Glaswegian, but was changed into a Cockney when Alan Clarke saw a then-unknown Ray Winstone walk in a unique way.

The picture was labeled one of the "video nasties" during the UK Video Nasties controversy of the early 1980s.

Alan Clarke made this film after the BBC banned his original TV version, Scum (1991), in 1977.

The film has almost no music throughout except for the music played on Eckersley's radio during the scene when he frames Davis for 'stealing' it.
