Another one! How many times are they going to beat this story to death?

They're going to have to start filming the leads in soft focus, they're so old that it's getting very silly.

I quite liked the first one to be fair.

The first one was watchable but massively inaccurate, it's laughable how massive they're portrayed, when I was a young plonker I used to lap this stuff up but once I'd read a fair few books on groups like the Mafia and the Hell's Angels I began to realise how small the Pat Tates of the world really are.

First one was entertaining, second one was jank, third one wasn't too bad

Milking the grandmother out of this story now aren't they :lol: there's even YouTube channels dedicated to it

They knew their level them boys, they wasn't gonna go & f*ck around and get above their station cos they thought they could, it was the drugs they kept getting up them & the people they had round them, yes men types, that made them believe they was a bigger force than what they were, when they did get too much they was dealt with swiftly

The stories made Rolfe out to be a bit of a workman for them but Rolfe was a bit of a cut you soon as look at you type of character, not the sharpest tool in the box but he wasn't what he was like in the films

All bullies though

I think this will be the 10th film either based on or inspired by the Range Rover shooting incident :yay:

These type of distractions don't help a fighter so early in his developmental

Especially one who's not really showing signs he could be great to begin with....

ROTF was based on Carlton Leach's story though and because he didn't like Rolfe they made him out to be a bit of a weedy junkie, apparently he was a roid head not much smaller than the other two.

I like Craig Fairbrass, it's a shame he's typecast in this sort of role though, just have to look pissed off and shout "c*nt" 100 times per film.

Yeah he was a big man & probably the the most dangerous in the group,

Yeah I don't mind Craig fairbrass but you're right he's always acting the same type , that London heist film he did was alright

Nah it's just was in a Hollywood blockbuster and these days he's in bargain basement gangster flicks.

Could be worse, he could still be in Rastenders or Emmerdale Farm or whatever it was
