    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Robert Carlyle has said that filming was chaotic and that 20th Century Fox were so unhappy with the first cut that they considered scrapping its theatrical release and going straight to video. Carlyle has stated that it was the hard work of producer Uberto Pasolini and editor Nick Moore that rescued the film.
    • Goofs
      Whilst the guys are watching Flashdance (1983), Dave criticizes the girl welding saying the mixture is all wrong and she's using too much acetylene. Shows how much he knows - she is actually arc welding.
    • Quotes

      Dave: Anti-wrinkle cream there may be, but anti-fat-bastard cream there is not.

    • Crazy credits
      The film shown behind the opening credits is "Sheffield...City on the move", made in 1971 for the Sheffield Publicity Department.
    • Alternate versions
      There are two English versions of the film: one is the original UK version, the other is the US version which is partly re-dubbed to replace some British dialects and slang phrases.

    Bits and Pieces from Across the Pond

    Charming film from the other side of the pond about a bunch of working class blokes at the ends of their ropes who decide to stage a strip show for cash. The gimmick is that they promise to go "the full monty," much to the delight of their wives and girlfriends.

    "The Full Monty" was a minor sensation in 1997, and started a movie trend that exists to this day: the little indie film that could and makes it all the way to the Best Picture category at the Academy Awards. I don't know that it's quite that good, but you could probably fit three "Full Monty"s into one "Titanic," the film that DID win Best Picture that year, and if I had to pick one of them to watch again now, I'd pick the naked dudes over the sinking ship any day.
