Trivia

Joe Strummer was originally considered for the part of Myron, but his band mates (in The Clash) nixed the idea. Strummer then recommended Tim Roth for the part based on his appearance as "Trevor the Skinhead" in the TV movie Made in Britain. "The Hit" was the 22 year old Roth's first theatrical feature and granted him a BAFTA nomination for Best Newcomer. See more »

Quotes

Myron: You've got nothing to smile about mate, if you knew.
Willie: If I knew?
[to Braddock]
Willie: He thinks I don't know.
