I got a power glove for Xmas after this movie came out. Worthless. Piece. Of. Shit.
But I still have it in a display case in my office.
On a side note my parents had dropped me and my friends off at our local arcade when I was 5…. Besides the regular arcade they had several rooms with couches and Nintendo systems. …. Anyhow I vividly remember the owner coming in with a copy of super Mario bros 3. And putting it into the system in the largest room… had like 3-4 couches.
Nobody had played it yet or seen any gameplay outside of in the Wizard…. I sat for 3 hours watching a group of 12-13 year olds play Mario3 instead of playing arcade games myself.
A core memory that I’ll never forget.

I guess I assumed it was his usual posse of criminals he’d worked with many times before and he was just cutting them in on a score to retire on.

Reply to comment by secretmadscientist in The Decline of British Blue Collar Stories On Screen: 25 years since NIL BY MOUTH first hit screens, Gary Oldman’s film has become a relic of a time when working-class stories were major cinematic events. What happened? by Bullingdon1973
Don’t forget Yellowstone. Everybody cheering for the billionaire rancher that owns 15% of Montana. Which is ridiculous. Because most small farmers absolutely hate big farmers.

How is it even possible to be on 4 different rosters in one season. Jesus. And you’re right. It is half the teams in the league.

That movie could have been so much better. I still love it because I grew up during that era and 5 year old me almost lost my mind at how awesome it seemed. But they coulda done so much better.
