    Storyline

    Edit
    Frankie decides he's had enough with his life as a street thug living on a South London estate, and jets off to Spain where he meets big time businessman Charlie, who's currently running the hottest bars in the land and also a South London bank robber and drug kingpin. From here on in Frankie signs up to a lifetime of crime, women and drugs and works his way from the bottom to the top of the Spanish cocaine empire with Charlie and Fellow bank robber and drug kingpin Sammy who does not give Frankie the best reception.

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The DVD features an alternate ending where Frankie meets Carly at the border. There she promptly tells the border guard where to find drugs in Frankie's car.
    • Goofs
      (at around 21 mins) Frankie throws his cigarette to the floor and treads on it. Only his toes miss and kicks the still-lighted cigarette under the right foot of the other character.
    • Quotes

      Frankie: My old man wrote me a letter from prison once. It said if you don't want to end up in here, stay away from crime, women and drugs. Trouble is, that don't leave you much else to do, does it?

    • Crazy credits
      At the end the credits say that Frankie went to Hollywood as in "Frankie goes to Hollywood". There are some connections between Frankie the character and "Frankie goes to Hollywood" the band in the movie.

    Loved it!
    I loved this film, the music and the costumes, just caught the feel of the 80s and got it spot on.

    Yes, none of the actors are that well known, but then in my book thats a good thing, I don't go into the film with any pre conceived ideas.

    And yes sometimes the language does cut very close to the bone, but these people are hardened criminals, and its a 18 cert as well, so that should give you some idea of the content.

    I say go and see it, and just enjoy yourself and have a few laughs for 2 hours.

    And did i mention the sound track, dust off those shell suits and enjoy.
