    Edit
    • Trivia
      The film was well into development when the producers learned of the existence of Legend (2015), a rival production starring Tom Hardy as both Ron and Reggie Kray.
    • Goofs
      When Ronnie is in the police station waving a cigarette lighter in the face of the police officer it is obviously a narrow, stable gas powered flame. Cigarette lighters at that time all contained a wad soaked in petrol with a wick, the flame was often wide and smoky.

      Teddy: It's a dog eat dog world and power goes to the beast with the sharpest teeth.

    Awful
    Terrible acting. Don't think ANYONE can do a better job than Tom Hardy did playing BOTH characters! The acting was so bad it was cringey like watching hollyoaks or something.
