    Storyline

    • Trivia
      This original version of "The Young Offenders" is actually set in a "flashback" version of 2007, although both Jock and Conor are 15. The same entire set of characters, with new additions, would re-appear in the TV series version of the BBC Three/RTE/Vico Film re-boot, but some of their personalities, circumstances and situations would be slightly revised, and re-used.
    • Goofs
      In the last scene in police station there is a calendar saying July 2015, but this movie is set on true events in 2007.
    • Quotes

      Conor: There are two things you need for an adventure, a treasure map and someone dumb enough to go with you.

    • Crazy credits
      In the start of the movie when Conor said some "dickhead" on a roof dropped a hammer on his dads head, at the credits he is listed down as "dickhead on the roof"

    Not as good as the TV Series
    Having watched the TV Series first and fallen in love with Conor and Jock's escapades, I finally got around to watching the film. While it is still still fun, outrageous and cringeworthy (in a good way), the film isn't as good as the series. The characters feel slightly more 2 dimensional . If I had seen the film first, I doubt I would have wanted to watch the TV series. It's still an OK film and a good length, at less than 90 minutes and you can see the green shoots of what the TV show was to become.
