    Storyline

    • 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.

    exceedingly likeable
    One thing I've always appreciated in British films is that the actors look like Real People. I don't mean unattractive, but just normal everyday looking, unlike Hollywood actors who are exceedingly pretty with perfect teeth and stylish clothes, and unlimited bank accounts, no matter what their occupation. In this film, a group of unemployed steelworkers decide to put on an amateur strip show to make ends meet. It is presented as a comedy, but it does have some very moving moments, as it shows the despair and desolation of unemployment. And it subtly displays the economic conditions of Thatcher's England, where entire industries were shut down, taking jobs and local economies along with them. As in other British films, the characters seem real, like people we would know if we lived in their town. I can picture having a pint down at the local pub with Gaz and Gerald more than, say, Tom Cruise.
