Trivia

The title ("Starred Up") is a term used to describe the early transfer of a criminal from a Young Offender Institution to an adult prison.

Based on screenwriter Jonathan Asser's experiences working as a voluntary therapist at HM Prison Wandsworth.

F*ck was said 346 times.

The word 'kanga' Is used often throughout the film. It is common UK prison slang for Prison Officer. It is derived from 'kangaroo', which is rhyming slang for 'screw', the more traditional slang term for Prison Officers.

Jack O'Connell and Ben Mendelsohn would later audition for a role in a Star Wars movie. O'Connell auditioned for Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015), but didn't get cast. Mendelsohn on the other hand got the part of Orson Krennic in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016).

Popular Dialogues

"Eric: I'm just saying. Said this therapy goes well and it changes my life and I rehabilitate. And then you lay it on for the next geezer and it works for him, and the next. And everything's sweet yeah? Crime rates starts to come down, police got less people to nick, courts got less people to convict. Eric: Pretty soon you're out of a job. Eric: [Prison Guard moans and twitches in discomfort] Do you mind?"

"[last lines] Neville Love: Proud to be your dad."
