Lock, Stock...
Recycled: the Series to Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. None of the actors or characters from the film returned, but it was a Spiritual Successor; Strictly Formula Guy Ritchie crime caper comedy with Cluster F Bombs and witty dialogue coming out the ears.
Tropes used in Lock, Stock... include:
- Aerosol Flamethrower -- Weapon of Choice for Firebug.
- A Bloody Mess -- An odd variation, since it is blood, but animal blood from a bucket left lying around in Nefarious' meat locker.
- The Clan -- Moon's extended family.
- Corrupt Hick -- a West Country version in Moon's uncle.
- Crappy Carnival -- the fairground in Kent run by Moon's dodgy relatives.
- The Dragon -- what crime boss would be complete without one?
- Fake Nationality / Funny Foreigner
- Fun with Subtitles -- while the guys laugh about the "bacradi" that nearly killed an entire hen night, the Dutch guys mutter to each other,
They were lucky - how many died in Utrecht?
Twenty four.
- Generic Ethnic Crime Gang
- Hey, It's That Guy! -- Oh look, it's Jack! And there's Lisa Rogers with her top off...
- London Gangster
- Man On Fire -- anyone who annoys Firebug.
- National Stereotypes -- the Greek is a small bald man who runs a kebab shop, the Dutch guys are stoners...
- Pinball Protagonist
- Pyromaniac -- Firebug.
- The Yardies
