Moat made his name simply through having that name.
If he had been called Jim Smith he'd have got far less press

I never met Duffy, but everyone in Northallerton jail at that time was terrified of him. He died at 26.... but caused a stir.
As for Sykes, only saw him getting chinned, pissed, for being silly.

Re: Paul Sykes - The Movie
Can't say i knew the guy but did meet him a couple of times , He really knew how to play to the cameras , but the dude was a serious nutcase . Get bored with it jump to 32.00 mi his interview with Elle won't see too many interviews like that
Re: Paul Sykes - The Movie
I remember you saying you’d met him before and that you said he definitely wasn’t as funny in real life. I was going to ask you to elaborate but forgot.
Elaborate. I know you like to spin a yarn.
Edit: just watched the McFeast interview. Never heard of her before. That’s a funny woman! Was she big in Australia?
Re: Paul Sykes - The Movie
Yes i did meet him a few times , , he was a mate of a freind of mine , he could tell a yarn and be funny has buggery , , BUT there was always a thing about him , where to me anyway he made you a bit uncofortable , Dunno i had the feeling a lot was an act , but yet he could turn at any time , and unlike someone like say Sykes , who was just a bully , you knew this guy was a nutcase , , I could'nt really elaborate without making things up , i only met him , i wAS'NT ON HIS INNER CIRCLE . but facts are he was probably bullshitting a lot , but you were still talking to a guy who was violent and had spent most his life in prison , really what you see in the videos he made, was him , he was stupid for doing all the time he did , but clever enough to play the cameras ,,, Not really a fella i would of been comfortable coming round my houseclopixolacuphase wrote: ↑02 Aug 2019, 03:52I remember you saying you’d met him before and that you said he definitely wasn’t as funny in real life.

That video of chopper is funny. Mans a lunatic but a funny one. He was pished as a fart on that show.
Re: Paul Sykes - The Movie
I’ve got a lot of time for Australians. Here in multicultural London as I get older and my circle of friends gets smaller I find myself hanging out more with Australians and Mexicans and binning off my English mates more and more. I can’t pinpoint why: I think it’s an honesty thing, and I think it might be the acceptance that having a slight screw loose is the right way to approach the world.

Re: Paul Sykes - The Movie
Bana nailed one side of him the side that come out when the cameras were there , Example , my wife met him only once ,, when we left she said , i don't like that man , she senced he was nasty and dangerous and siad he frightens the life out of me , he's a nasty horrible peice of work , , yet when she see's interviews with him like most she laughs , and says he's funny ,ShadrachSimmo wrote: ↑02 Aug 2019, 16:55Eric Bana absolutely nails it in the film. He’s so like him in every way when you see the real Chopper.
Another film you may want to watch , its a great film and really nails it is Once were warriors ,,, Got a lot of maori mates and after watching it , i said to them , they did'nt need to pay actors , they could of just come round and filmed you lot ,,, couple said , ya pommy bastards , don't know wether to agree or be insulted LOL , lucky were mates and they can take a joke , cos there all big fella's

Re: Paul Sykes - The Movie
Once Were Warriors was one of my favourite films growing up. Really sad but seemed pretty realistic. Jake the Muss was a right bastard of a guy.coneye wrote: ↑02 Aug 2019, 19:13Bana nailed one side of him the side that come out when the cameras were there , Example , my wife met him only once ,, when we left she said , i don't like that man , she senced he was nasty and dangerous and siad he frightens the life out of me , he's a nasty horrible peice of work , , yet when she see's interviews with him like most she laughs , and says he's funny ,ShadrachSimmo wrote: ↑02 Aug 2019, 16:55

Re: Paul Sykes - The Movie
Fun fact: They built sets with smaller door frames than standard to make Temuera Morrison seem much bigger than he actually is.
Great movie.
Great movie.

Re: Paul Sykes - The Movie
I knew a bloke like Jake the Muss. Big maniac rugby playing islander. He was a prop forward in the league team I played for.
Once he had a drink the guy was unstoppable, like a Duracell bunny on speed wanting to fight anyone, including me.
He was at the infamous Rooftop Gardens in the early 90's and kicked off on the dancefloor with some meat heads. Total destruction of half a dozen lads before the bouncers managed to drag him to the back exit.
Never liked getting a drink on with him as he could snap in an instant. Lovely guy when sober, religious gentle type. Some blokes are not made for drink.

Re: Paul Sykes - The Movie
Reminds me of the wrestler haku. A real life tough guy the others were fornicating petrified off. Seriously, Google his out of the ring exploits. Snapping off police handcuffs, beating up seven cops after being pepper sprayed, biting off a trolls nose for calling wrestling fake....,seriously bad dude.forcefraser wrote: ↑03 Aug 2019, 07:14 I knew a bloke like Jake the Muss.

Re: Paul Sykes - The Movie
A lot of Islander lads are made for hard physical contact, they love it. Drink or no drink. Worked with a fair few in Oz and NZ, Fijian, Samoan and Tongan. Would fight about anything.forcefraser wrote: ↑03 Aug 2019, 07:14 I knew a bloke like Jake the Muss. Big maniac rugby playing islander. He was a prop forward in the league team I played for.

I spent most of my hooligan days in The Rooftop Gardens, they were the only nightclub who allowed 50 lads in drunk and in trainers!
