I’m so glad Shane Meadows and some of the actors/writers from this movie have become more ‘popular’ and have gotten well deserved recognition in the UK. Paddy has also become quite popular in the states. Even though many of these actors and writers have been happier in more independent than big budget mainstream movies. If this film was the same with an American cast and a few really famous actors it would have won some oscars to say the least
@@josephmallinson6548 u had to spoil it jo , just some person thats not seen all the movies an bit parts hes in , hes a good actor he gets paid to do movies hes rated definitively, hes a very grounded person does plays an the sorts of movies me or u will never see like Welsh movies or even French, do u know how many French movies make it big?, like 5 in history to be fair what I'm saying is his go to niche roll hasn't been found or it has an he just wants to act his way, I'm sure he said exactly same thing after blitz , if u haven't seen his little monologue watch it. The underrated thing really annoys me , probably because I have to act every day and not get paid , u would never know i was acting tho

Find it brilliant that Paddy is being talked about for Emmys now he’s been in Game of Thrones. Meanwhile everyone who watched this brilliant, gritty, homegrown British classic has known for YEARS how incredible he is as an actor.
It makes me furious that there are people who only know Paddy from HOTD. Paddy, for me, is one of the most underrated actors around. I'm in the States and this movie was my first introduction, I've been onboard ever since.
@@aliciad8553 Paddy was recommended to the showrunners by the writer who initially proposed the radical changes to Viserys' characteristics in GRRM's novel, and who wrote THAT entrance scene. He only knew Paddy from DMS, he'd never seen him in anything else, not even Hot Fuzz.
His best film by a long stretch. Very low budget, but superbly carried by some brilliant acting, especially from Paddy. Seen this so many times, but still get the same chills watching these scenes
Paddy is one hell of an actor. Like mate, the rage and fury of the character being loosely held back by the discipline of being a soldier... truely outstanding
It's emblematic of the controlled violence he learned in the marines (his character, that is). I just love that he's a man with nothing left to lose, and all that sustains him is righteous fury. What a performance
@@SnowflakePolice1 you are right he wears a red beret and airborne wings of the parachute regiment. They are notoriously more psychopathic than the Royal Marines, not better soldiers, but selected for their aggressive traits whereas marine commandos are selected for being tough, resilient and being able to laugh when they are in dangerous situations. Both are at the extreme level of their profession and equal to any American SOF operators.
"You ya c***" delivered with such venom. Tremendous acting throughout by Paddy. To maintain that level of pure hatred whilst trying to keep low key. You can feel he's fit to burst with complete rage at any moment. It's captivating. Extremely underrated.
I think part of why that line is so good is the way he delivers the line before it too. "Sorry?" in such a passive, calm voice. Like the part of his brain that is speaking, his social mask, is just completely detached from the absolute smoldering hatred underneath. The drug dealer pokes at the mask and you see what he's actually feeling.
If you haven’t seen it check out another Shane meadows film called a Romeo brass that delves into similar themes - also contains a chilling performance turn by Paddy
Yeah that’s great dialogue, one guy skirting around the issue, the other getting straight to the point. Also, a moment later: (In confidence, so the lads can’t hear);”You’re making me very nervous Richard” (Completely unfazed) “So you should be mate. If I were you I’d get back in that car . . . “ proceeds to explain calmly how he had creeped into the guy’s house and held a knife to his neck . . .
If Paddy Considine never appeared in another film it would not matter to me, he already left his mark with this classic. I will always rate him as a top British actor after this.
Yeah i thought that too, everyone commenting on paddy considines controlled rage in this scene but stretch is also brilliant here as a man shitting it but trying his best to hide it. Great subtlety from both
This film is incredible, I've seen it so many times and every single time it gives me chills. Paddy Considines portrayal of Richard is electrifying, he is pure terror. I absolutely love it, Dead Man's Shoes will never get old for me
Same here. Probably my favourite British film, definitely the best revenge thriller. That scene is near to Scorsese because of Paddy's acting...true stuff
@@Bradbull111 I literally watched it last night. I only came across this film yesterday because this video popped up in my recommended as I was watching other Shane Meadows clips. It was on Britbox channel on Amazon Prime and they're fortunately doing a 7 day free trial for that channel. I absolutely loved it mate. The only thing I didn't understand was how did Richard know exactly what it was they done to Anthony?. Obviously Anthony was just a figment of Richards imagination so I don't understand how he got the information about what they done and exactly who it was that done it.
Proper true gritty filmmaking depicting the true reality that many people live in. Not glamorized fairytale shit from hollywood that no one can relate to.
Everybody s a genius nowadays! This is just fairytale shit that doesn't come from Hollywood. If you think one guy on his own is going to get to stand about making threats after breaking into somecunts house and not get his cunt kicked in right away.......ha!
John, also, there's only so much gratuitous violence you can depict on telly. They did show a head shot, and almost showed an assassination. You probably mean the kind of violence used in local drug feuds, like the one in the East of England, and, l suspect, the hangings that are made out to be suicides.
"yeah it was me". What a fantastic scene that is. Balance of power and fear shifting whilst dignity is clung to. I love the way the line "do you always paint men like women?" is ignored by Richard - to him It's irrelevant crap. Paddy is one of our finest actors and in this movie Gary Stretch excels too. My fav ever film.
@chris a I've seen this film plenty of times ,it's one of my best .as I watched this clip I was thinking the exact same thing when he says the whole face paint thing ,the way paddy plays his part is phenomenal
+Chris A. Unrealistic. The big guy would have head butted him and broken his nose - we all know this. Then he would have smashed the man in the green coat into tiny pieces. Perhaps keeping some of his beard as a souvenir.
Often heard the saying violence never solved anything . I have to differ.I am 82 now and i can think of at least 3 times in my life where i had to inflict violence on guys who were making my life a misery .And they left me alone after that .I realised then that most of these people do not like to be on the other end of violence.
Yeah, i have had cases where some people are harassing me and/or my friends, and they wont fuck off when you tell them, but they definitely will when you use violence. I think that some lump together unnecessarily violent people with others who uses it as a last option.
+Chris L I think he still could be a legendary actor around the Richard Burton mark but as it stands so much promise initially but then what ? a bit like David Thewlis, amazing first 5-6 movies and then Hollywood :( and then it's what ever happened to him ?
Charles Veitch Fancy seein you here mate. I remember watching your videos years ago when i was i suppose a bit of a lefty. browsing through your subs list i see you have changed your tune. thulean perspective, black pigeon speaks, red elephants. by george, what would the nieghbours think?
2:57 - They added the distant sound of thunder as he says "Get in your car and fuck off" like they've incurred the wrath of God. Like how fucking genius is that? So understated, I've only just noticed it now. The look on Sonny's face is perfect, they crucified his brother so God's coming to fuck him up.
Paddy was ferociously brilliant in this film. Toby Kebbell as Anthony is incredible to, really underated . Also the setting is genius, its bleak. And sets the mood perfectly.
It was filmed in a village much like my own. Pretty sure it isn't far from New Mills. The bleak overcast setting that is depicted in the film is the default setting
@@jakehague1 Thought it was around the Matlock area. Anyhow it's very realistic England - bleak, wet, menacing....one of my favourite films ever. Perfect cast and acting. Never goes out of date this one.
Love seeing the praise for Kebbell, more obvious on more HQ versions of this scene, but the very subtle nervous twitches Toby does with his face throughout the scene was some amazing acting and helps make the scene even greater in my opinion.
@@DuncanDisordelyThis was the first time I'd seen Toby Kebbell on screen.He played the part of Anthony so well , I genuinely thought he actually was an actor who had special needs.
His brothers presence in the scenes is heartbreaking, there's something so moving seeing him in the background, great premise and brilliant performances all round
It was more heartbreaking when Richard killed his friends who else would of looked after Anthony? Sonny and his crew were like care in the community, they gave him drugs got him jumped they should be all getting OBE's not murdered.
@@KebabMusicLtd Apart from the ghost that the film has you believe is a real live person until the very end when you find out he's a ghost. Yeah, nothing alike at all.
@@gerrodmendham461 yep and when they pulled up in the car and you see him walk off and they dont say a word to him. att that point i was thinking he was all ready dead.
There is no better threat scene than that in any other film ever. Full of suppressed rage that the guy knows if he unleashes just an ounce of it, he's a dead man. What a brilliant piece of acting by Paddy Consadine.
kev3d I’d agree it’s chilling. The old adage of ‘actions speak louder than words’ bears fruit here. He’s unable to speak to his brothers death, rather, act. Which he does.
Us brits have this knack for making you FEEL the films. You feel the emotions as if its your family. The small amounts of music, the timing of what each actor is saying really makes you think this is real. Did not expect the end. May be one of the best films ive seen. Felt every emotion from considine.
@jackfoulkes2047 it is a collective British something. We collectively have a sense of humour and way of film making. But you keep trying to sound smart on UA-cam pal, it might work out one time.
I find British comedy to be off the charts as well. Harry Enfield. Monty Python. Ricky Gervais. Benny Hill. Red Dwarf. So many great comedic art has come out of the UK. The Young Ones. Black Adder. The Goodies. I didn't realise how big an influence the Brits had in shaping my funny bone ? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The film has a real rawness about it. The rain, a nothing, northern town, a crap, overcrowded car, terrible clothes and hair. It looks and feels all too real.
Agree totally ! in real life though, surely the nominal "leader" of a very unpleasant group of drug dealers would be be able to square up to a smaller single guy ? ( i suspect within the script there is a common knowledge that Richard is a tough guy .... but he's still just a guy ....)
In the comments for every scene from this film I see people who grew up in towns like this who testify to how accurately the gang in this film were portrayed. It could be the 70s, 80s, 90s, 2050s, there will always be scummers like these.
Love the first scene. Drew him in by answering softly. The bully came in, stronger, then returned the answer with venom. Bully backed down straight away. Awesome, bloody awesome.
Yeah he was totally caught off guard and realized he had suddenly lost face. The only way to get it back would be to escalate, but knew he didn't have it in him.
It's like a psychological version of guerilla warfare. Derails their frame entirely and puts them out of their comfort zone. Similar to his "yeah it was me" interjection.
sometimes a shit script just needs big explosions a top hollywood actress and a stupid audience to make it a box office hit , this film had none of them and is one of the best films i've ever watched , well done to all involved
its my favourite British movie and the story is excellently written, if it was an American movie it would be nominated for 10 oscars but because its British it goes in the list of the most underrated movies to ever exist.
@Hate mail America has produced some great films - deer Hunter, taxi driver, goodfellas, blue velvet etc I meant most of the terrible Hollywood films that get shit out often.
It's fascinating that Richard's final victim is himself. He knows he abandoned his weak brother because he got sick of him, yet at the same time he loved him beyond words. Tragic.
As great as Paddy Considine was I gotta say Gary Stretch as Sonny was incredible, the scene where he confronts Considine he’s playing “scared but trying really, really hard not to show it” about as well as I’ve ever seen, you can literally see his tough guy facade slipping the more Paddy talks to him.
And how they play tripping balls and whizzing so hard they can't take a breath...perfect. Although this film has one massive flaw.....THEY WOULD HAVE CHECKED UNDER THE FUCKING STAIRS!!!!!!!!
Well said I think he’s really underrated. Plays it perfect. A man used to not really having to prove himself in a small town and being face to face with someone he knows has nothing to lose. Brilliant how he shows his confidence gradually fade.
Stretch went 6 rounds with Eubank so he is a legit double hard bastard... but he wasnt particularly great in this. I think you could have subbed in another similar person and the effect would have been the same
This is one of the finest showcases of acting in any film ever. Paddy's utter contempt for the so called man in front of him, treating him with absolute indifference, puncturing his pathetic macho facade, seeing the balance of power shift as the guy who thinks he;s in charge is reduced to a frightened wreck. This should be shown in every acting class
This story is not a million miles from the story of a local lad who hanged himself near where I grew up. My uncle told me about what the kid's "friends" used to him do and it was just pure sadism. Watching this film and despite me not knowing the boy in question, it really hit hard.
Toby-kebbel played a powerhouse performance, as a young disturbed lad, paddy did what he always does, delivers another stunning performance, and to be fair, Gary stretch does really well also, an iconic British film...10/10
2007zodiac the performance of all the actors in this film is like something I've never seen in any other film . The scene when they are in the house off there faces while Richard pushes them around is incredible. How they get across what it's like to be off your face on drugs is fantastic
Chief of Staffy exactly what I thought man! Can’t believe this is the same actor off of black mirror, going to have to check out a lot more of the stuff he’s featured in.
@@Ed-om9xy Stretch was a well known boxer back in the late 80s/early 90s, with an excellent record. He fought and lost to Eubank once in a controversial fight, his only loss. Could’ve gone further, but he had other plans one of them acting.
Whether it's a vengeful brother full of grief and self hatred, a comically antagonistic Sandford detective or a peace wishing dragon King of Westeros who rots with old age and disease before our very eyes, Paddy is one hell of an actor.
@@adc8658He was my favourite villain in that whole show. A sick and twisted evil Irish priest who you absolutely hated. It was the first thing I ever saw him in and couldnt believe he wasnt actually Irish when I saw his interviews afterwards, his Irish accent was so authentic.
I'm pretty sure the guy who directed it also wrote, is it Shane meadows, a Notts lad, and not in fact paddy. This was paddy's first real acting gig I believe though
@@gnomethegamer9706 written by Paddy, Shane & Paul Fraser , this was Paddys 8th or 9th film i think , his first being no room for romeo brass also written by Shane & Paul , worth a watch if you havnt seen it ,it has a few members of the cast that would go on to be in This Is England in it
Yeah man, I didn't see that ending coming. I love a film with twists in it like that, when you watch it again you can see how well that was hidden in plain sight
He was decent against eubank too. He’s no mug. Perfectly cast like everything in this film. Trainspotting dead man’s shoes and long good Friday best British films of all. From the north the middle and the south. This film should be on the telly more
The 2nd scene is one of my favourite scenes of any movie... ever. The absolute hatred of who he is talking to whilst trying to contain his rage has never been acted better by anyone, well... it's never felt more legitimate than this one here anyway. Powerful stuff.
I've seen more 'threatening' scenes from Hollywood than I care to remember. And this fine performance from a underrated British film knocks all of them into a cocked hat. Menacing, disturbing and real, to the last.
The comments below say it all, but this short clip encapsulates the essence of real male menace. Growing up on a West Yorkshire council estate, I have witnessed these characters first hand. Paddy Considine's venom is palpable. Gary Stretch's gut reaction at recognising an altogether bigger bully is also very real here. It's such an English-style movie with universal overtones. Great story and direction.
@Vocal Gravy I have spent the past 8 years living and working here in Japan, and you could not be more removed from the northern-type menace this film captures. Japan, for a northerner at least, is like walking around the Garden of Eden!
@Vocal Gravy Ha ha ha.. well said my northern brother, well said, indeed. Any of those satellite towns is brimming with just-beneath-the-surface menace. It only takes a wee scratch to unearth it. Up the meadows and down the snickets.
I absolutely love this film, but it's so claustrophobic, it hooks you in and doesn't let you go until the the final credits. A true western set in middle England.
How Paddy Considine or even Gary Stretch didn't get an award for their performances I dont know. Gary Stretch had just retired as a boxer. Dead Man's Shoes is a masterpiece. I shouldn't forget the excellent Toby Kobell. What a film!!!!
One of the great scenes ever..Paddy Considine gives a masterclass..his stance and facial moves are blackly funny and completely terrifying..and as he delivers those wonderful threats you thank God he isnt aiming them at you..Gary Stretch gives it a go..but he aint no match..and thats what makes it so great..so kudos to Stretch for acting the hardman that has no chance..its just another great scene from a great movie..
micheal green It was a stroke of genius to cast someone who looks pretty hard as the bad guy. I knew so many dickheads growing up who were pretty tough and abused that power horribly. It's so satisfying to watch Considine tear their stupid little Empire down brick by brick.
hu? its a top top film! on many levels and paddy is absolute class in it! as he is in others thats why he's rated in the top 100 best actors in the world
"You get to me first" "Just might" Gary stretch nails that "just might" line as the thug trying to save face but clearly knows he's dealing with someone he can't handle
"clearly knows he's dealing with someone he can't handle” - must have been how Stretch felt when he had a run-in “in real life” with London’s Gangster No 1 Davy “The Longfella” Hunt and got the smackdown
Stumbled across this years and years ago by accident. Instantly became one of my favourite films along with many of the cast. Absolutely the best way to discover masterpieces like this! 👏🏻👏🏻
Have you seen Romm for Romeo Brass? Paddy plays the best trurn of a local simpleton. The trailer is really wrong as it makes it out to be a Full Monty type heartfelt "romp" and it SOOOOOO isn't. Plus Frank Harper at the end, you are cheering that fucker like no onjes businness
He's incredible in this scene, he's playing a really tough Bastard but he's confronting someone that he can't intimidate. He just doesn't show fear exactly more confusion and even a little bit of respect
One of the greatest and most tragic films ever. I can't watch it too often because of the actual meaning. The first time i saw it as a young man it really affected me. Near flawless film, Paddy is some actor
ian finney Absolutely correct, Ian. I taught him and his brother at Cowley. Good lads. I have recently retired and they were some of the best years of my teaching career.
What an amazing film this is. This scene is just stunning; an acting masterclass in seething rage and restraint. As others have said, Paddy Considine is just mesmerising in this film but also huge credit should also go to Gary Stretch who despite not being a professional actor is pure class in this scene, fantastic display of bravado through increasing uncertainty and dread of his opponent. For me it all starts with the scene in the club when Richard is asked “can I help you mate” after staring him down and his aloof, dreamy, almost passive “sorry?” sets the story up for how very different Richard actually is and how easily underestimated he is until he switches in the blink of an eye. Terrifying but amazing.
With out doubt the very best low budget British movie ever made. Unbelievably underrated. A stellar performance by Paddy. In fact his finest performance to date. Same can be said about Gary Stretch, shame he didn't go on to do more in in his acting career. Check out his fight against eubank - things could of panned out so different for the bloke, he had a very impressive boxing record- 31 fights, 1 loss. Shame
I still don’t understand how he knew what happened, how he had the flashbacks etc. who told him who was involved and the details?? Awesome film though!
@@brentmeistergeneral6074 the guy is a soldier and has seen some shit, he has his memories of his brother and the guilt for his death haunts him. the “memories” are those involved explaining to him what happened
@@brentmeistergeneral6074 it’s a fair point you make, afterall his brother is dead and so in reality can’t say “there’s one bruv” at the social center.
Just searched this scene out. One of the most intense understated scenes ever committed to film. Paddy Considine is perfection in this movie and this scene with Gary in particular. That one moment where he opens his palm and says "you're right here" has stayed with me since I saw this for the first time. There is always one low budget movie where you realize you are watching a fantastic actor who you will seek out for the rest of their career - and for me this movie did that for both Paddy Considine and Toby Kebbell who was equally brilliant in his role. Unforgettable scenes.
This is without a doubt one of the most underrated films of all time
Without a doubt. Ending had me like wtf..
The sound track is also fitting.
Hardly underrated. It's considered a classic film of British cinema
Exactly
Tarantino said its one of his favourites.
Gritty and heavy. No big soundtrack, no multi million pound actors, no lavish set locations. Just a dark hard hitting film
yeah and the acting is still spot on considine iin particular is menacing
Anyone else got any recommendations like this film, being hard, heavy, gritty, and English?

I was just gettin ready to say. Clint Eastwood cold sweated a little that night too.
no they didnt, Paddy looks like Dave Gorman in this film.
why dont we all just chin him !!! hahahaha
I love how upfront and direct Richard is. No games, no lying, no gaslighting, he tells them what he thinks without holding back.
…… gaslighting….Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…..
You dance at my party
Even tells them where he’s staying and tells them to come for him 😂 such a fucking badass
Proper true gritty filmmaking depicting the true reality that many people live in. Not glamorized fairytale shit from hollywood that no one can relate to.
Shane Meadows is a genius
Everybody s a genius nowadays! This is just fairytale shit that doesn't come from Hollywood. If you think one guy on his own is going to get to stand about making threats after breaking into somecunts house and not get his cunt kicked in right away.......ha!
yea but there's no paedophiles around this one
The fear such vermin generate is real, too.
John, also, there's only so much gratuitous violence you can depict on telly. They did show a head shot, and almost showed an assassination. You probably mean the kind of violence used in local drug feuds, like the one in the East of England, and, l suspect, the hangings that are made out to be suicides.
"yeah it was me". What a fantastic scene that is. Balance of power and fear shifting whilst dignity is clung to. I love the way the line "do you always paint men like women?" is ignored by Richard - to him It's irrelevant crap. Paddy is one of our finest actors and in this movie Gary Stretch excels too. My fav ever film.
Couldn't agree more.
@chris a
I've seen this film plenty of times ,it's one of my best .as I watched this clip I was thinking the exact same thing when he says the whole face paint thing ,the way paddy plays his part is phenomenal
spot on, brilliant piece of acting!
+Chris A. Unrealistic. The big guy would have head butted him and broken his nose - we all know this. Then he would have smashed the man in the green coat into tiny pieces. Perhaps keeping some of his beard as a souvenir.
+Chris A. Timing's perfect, cutting him off just before he can finish the sentence.
Imagine someone you hated pulling up in a car like that. You've already won.
lmao
This made me lol
Meanwhile back on planet earth
😂
See man driving a 2CV. Tinted windows leaning back
Often heard the saying violence never solved anything .
I have to differ.I am 82 now and i can think of at least 3 times in my life where i had to inflict violence on guys who were making my life a misery .And they left me alone after that .I realised then that most of these people do not like to be on the other end of violence.
Yeah, i have had cases where some people are harassing me and/or my friends, and they wont fuck off when you tell them, but they definitely will when you use violence. I think that some lump together unnecessarily violent people with others who uses it as a last option.
Our governments are the most violent entity in existence, just think about that when they tell you what to do
Cool story. No one cares or believes you guys.
'I'm not threatening you mate.... it's beyond fucking words'. Gives me chills every time.
+Chris L I think he still could be a legendary actor around the Richard Burton mark but as it stands so much promise initially but then what ? a bit like David Thewlis, amazing first 5-6 movies and then Hollywood :( and then it's what ever happened to him ?
Paddy's performance here is scarily good. He's fucking deadly
@@davedogge2280 check out paddy's 2 movies hes directed they are great
Love how in England you call people 'mate' even when you're in full rage mode.
By far my favorite line in this film and any film ever made ... the delivery, the face , the controlled rage still gives me goose bumps everytime .
There is no anger like righteous anger.
Anger? Nah, this is pure rage. Unadulterated rage. It's beautiful...
Charles Veitch Fancy seein you here mate. I remember watching your videos years ago when i was i suppose a bit of a lefty. browsing through your subs list i see you have changed your tune. thulean perspective, black pigeon speaks, red elephants. by george, what would the nieghbours think?

One of the best film moments in recent times; in that moment the tables turn. British cinema at its best
Irish cinema you fucking knob
Lim Jahey How is it Irish cinema? British location, British director, British lead

2:57 - They added the distant sound of thunder as he says "Get in your car and fuck off" like they've incurred the wrath of God. Like how fucking genius is that? So understated, I've only just noticed it now. The look on Sonny's face is perfect, they crucified his brother so God's coming to fuck him up.
It's more like the cards were laid on the table.
Paddy was ferociously brilliant in this film. Toby Kebbell as Anthony is incredible to, really underated . Also the setting is genius, its bleak. And sets the mood perfectly.
It was filmed in a village much like my own. Pretty sure it isn't far from New Mills. The bleak overcast setting that is depicted in the film is the default setting
@@jakehague1 Thought it was around the Matlock area. Anyhow it's very realistic England - bleak, wet, menacing....one of my favourite films ever. Perfect cast and acting. Never goes out of date this one.
Kebbell was fantastic!
Love seeing the praise for Kebbell, more obvious on more HQ versions of this scene, but the very subtle nervous twitches Toby does with his face throughout the scene was some amazing acting and helps make the scene even greater in my opinion.
@@DuncanDisordelyThis was the first time I'd seen Toby Kebbell on screen.He played the part of Anthony so well , I genuinely thought he actually was an actor who had special needs.
His brothers presence in the scenes is heartbreaking, there's something so moving seeing him in the background, great premise and brilliant performances all round
It was more heartbreaking when Richard killed his friends who else would of looked after Anthony? Sonny and his crew were like care in the community, they gave him drugs got him jumped they should be all getting OBE's not murdered.
The UK's 'Sixth sense' in the, 'Did you see the twist coming'? lol
@@gerrodmendham461 This was nothing like Sixth Sense. There are many films and stories out there with twists in them. Psycho being one such example...
@@KebabMusicLtd Apart from the ghost that the film has you believe is a real live person until the very end when you find out he's a ghost. Yeah, nothing alike at all.
@@gerrodmendham461 yep and when they pulled up in the car and you see him walk off and they dont say a word to him. att that point i was thinking he was all ready dead.
There is no better threat scene than that in any other film ever. Full of suppressed rage that the guy knows if he unleashes just an ounce of it, he's a dead man. What a brilliant piece of acting by Paddy Consadine.
spot on mate
Only better scene I can think of is the Petrol station scene in no country for old men
MicrowaveBackground Good call, that's right up there for menace.
Ironically, in real life, Gary Stretch would probably kick Paddys arse good and proper.
What's ironic about it ? Predator would probably kick Arnold's arse too.
"I'm not threatening ya, mate. It's beyond words...". Chilling.
Aaron S You know a person is fuming when they end a sentence with "mate".
Chilling?
AntiBaboonDevice - I'll meet you at the pub in 10 mins just got to finish my tea mate.
kev3d I’d agree it’s chilling. The old adage of ‘actions speak louder than words’ bears fruit here. He’s unable to speak to his brothers death, rather, act.
Which he does.
DNF Danninetyf haha
Us brits have this knack for making you FEEL the films. You feel the emotions as if its your family.
The small amounts of music, the timing of what each actor is saying really makes you think this is real.
Did not expect the end. May be one of the best films ive seen. Felt every emotion from considine.
Miles better than ridiculous American films
Don't claim this as your own with the 'us Brits' it's not us it's Shane Meadows and Paddy Considine not a collective British anything. It's crass.
@jackfoulkes2047 it is a collective British something.
We collectively have a sense of humour and way of film making.
But you keep trying to sound smart on UA-cam pal, it might work out one time.
I find British comedy to be off the charts as well. Harry Enfield. Monty Python. Ricky Gervais. Benny Hill. Red Dwarf. So many great comedic art has come out of the UK. The Young Ones. Black Adder. The Goodies. I didn't realise how big an influence the Brits had in shaping my funny bone ? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The film has a real rawness about it. The rain, a nothing, northern town, a crap, overcrowded car, terrible clothes and hair. It looks and feels all too real.
Absolutely. Nothing is glamourised. Just the gritty realism of an everyday town. Love it.
Agree totally ! in real life though, surely the nominal "leader" of a very unpleasant group of drug dealers would be be able to square up to a smaller single guy ? ( i suspect within the script there is a common knowledge that Richard is a tough guy .... but he's still just a guy ....)
@@Simpleburger1968 The warrior's greatest weapon is their mind.
@@Simpleburger1968 I agree but the whole subtext is implied whenever the goons say 'Richard's back'. They know the gravity of the man already.
In the comments for every scene from this film I see people who grew up in towns like this who testify to how accurately the gang in this film were portrayed.
It could be the 70s, 80s, 90s, 2050s, there will always be scummers like these.
It doesn’t even feel like he’s acting. The hatred seems so pure and real. This movie is fantastic
Love the first scene. Drew him in by answering softly. The bully came in, stronger, then returned the answer with venom. Bully backed down straight away.
Awesome, bloody awesome.
Brilliant scene well explained mate.
I bought dvd for commentary. Hope don't ruin my outlook on the film.
Yeah he was totally caught off guard and realized he had suddenly lost face. The only way to get it back would be to escalate, but knew he didn't have it in him.
Thats how you deal with them sometimes. Its all it takes. Most bullies are transparent and pathetic cowards.
It's like a psychological version of guerilla warfare. Derails their frame entirely and puts them out of their comfort zone. Similar to his "yeah it was me" interjection.
The way he delivered that threat was epic.
It's not a threat, mate. It's beyond f*king words.
@@RapidsJohnson your there , now get in that car and FUCK OFF 😂 absolutely epic !! 👍🏻
@@RapidsJohnsonNice work 👏
One of the all time great non violent movie confrontations.
sometimes a shit script just needs big explosions a top hollywood actress and a stupid audience to make it a box office hit , this film had none of them and is one of the best films i've ever watched , well done to all involved
its my favourite British movie and the story is excellently written, if it was an American movie it would be nominated for 10 oscars but because its British it goes in the list of the most underrated movies to ever exist.
I agree
If it was American it would end with a huge shootout and some kind of big explosion
@Hate mail America has produced some great films - deer Hunter, taxi driver, goodfellas, blue velvet etc
I meant most of the terrible Hollywood films that get shit out often.

I think the Citreon 2cv/dolly proper adds to this, 10bob gangsters.
Bought it off Goldie looking chain, £400, no questions asked
Fucking clown car.
That scene in that Citreeon when they are listening to rap music is hilarious and sad AF at the same time.
..Bit rich there.....I'd say Two Bob gangsters
antibling Its like they couldnt have picked a slower getaway car if they tried. 2cv only had 26bhp.
It's fascinating that Richard's final victim is himself. He knows he abandoned his weak brother because he got sick of him, yet at the same time he loved him beyond words. Tragic.
False
Ohh another retard on yt@@Johnny_Caruthers
As great as Paddy Considine was I gotta say Gary Stretch as Sonny was incredible, the scene where he confronts Considine he’s playing “scared but trying really, really hard not to show it” about as well as I’ve ever seen, you can literally see his tough guy facade slipping the more Paddy talks to him.
And how they play tripping balls and whizzing so hard they can't take a breath...perfect. Although this film has one massive flaw.....THEY WOULD HAVE CHECKED UNDER THE FUCKING STAIRS!!!!!!!!
Let's not forget he was a boxer and probably had many of these moments during the staredown!
i said the same thing just now, incrediblle how he mannages to look scared but look like he is trying to hide his fear
Well said I think he’s really underrated. Plays it perfect. A man used to not really having to prove himself in a small town and being face to face with someone he knows has nothing to lose. Brilliant how he shows his confidence gradually fade.
Stretch went 6 rounds with Eubank so he is a legit double hard bastard... but he wasnt particularly great in this. I think you could have subbed in another similar person and the effect would have been the same
Such a great fucking scene. Who needs Hollywood?
jim jimjim I see you everywhere on here, you fuck!
Arran Boon We are more than one.
Scumbag drug dealers . They need to be dealt with in the harshest way possible.
This is one of the finest showcases of acting in any film ever. Paddy's utter contempt for the so called man in front of him, treating him with absolute indifference, puncturing his pathetic macho facade, seeing the balance of power shift as the guy who thinks he;s in charge is reduced to a frightened wreck. This should be shown in every acting class
This story is not a million miles from the story of a local lad who hanged himself near where I grew up. My uncle told me about what the kid's "friends" used to him do and it was just pure sadism. Watching this film and despite me not knowing the boy in question, it really hit hard.
Toby-kebbel played a powerhouse performance, as a young disturbed lad, paddy did what he always does, delivers another stunning performance, and to be fair, Gary stretch does really well also, an iconic British film...10/10
2007zodiac the performance of all the actors in this film is like something I've never seen in any other film . The scene when they are in the house off there faces while Richard pushes them around is incredible. How they get across what it's like to be off your face on drugs is fantastic
Chief of Staffy exactly what I thought man! Can’t believe this is the same actor off of black mirror, going to have to check out a lot more of the stuff he’s featured in.
Such an under appreciated movie.
+Del Top notch movie mate, anyone who does not think the same has no clue.
Del not by me ! mooching about
@David Dennis Well, I mean it flew under the radar and never got the proper media coverage it deserved.
Shane Meadows is like our answer to Tarantino 🇬🇧😺👌
Gary Stretch doesn’t get enough appreciation for his work in this film. What a fucking performance.
So true. One thing doesn't work without the other and he makes a perfect "other".
Didn't realise he was a boxer!!! Wow. Jack of all trades
@@Ed-om9xy Stretch was a well known boxer back in the late 80s/early 90s, with an excellent record. He fought and lost to Eubank once in a controversial fight, his only loss. Could’ve gone further, but he had other plans one of them acting.
@@Pulsonar i remember he knocked fuck out of julia Bradbury when he was with her.
Was just about to say the same, great performance.
Whether it's a vengeful brother full of grief and self hatred, a comically antagonistic Sandford detective or a peace wishing dragon King of Westeros who rots with old age and disease before our very eyes, Paddy is one hell of an actor.
Don't forget his incredible peaky blinders performance
@@adc8658He was my favourite villain in that whole show. A sick and twisted evil Irish priest who you absolutely hated. It was the first thing I ever saw him in and couldnt believe he wasnt actually Irish when I saw his interviews afterwards, his Irish accent was so authentic.
The pure anger in Paddys voice is acted out fantastically. The fear in Garys facial expression is of matched ability. A truly amazing film.
I just watched this the first time last night and I was blown away. To know Paddy also wrote this was amazing! Such talent.
I'm pretty sure the guy who directed it also wrote, is it Shane meadows, a Notts lad, and not in fact paddy. This was paddy's first real acting gig I believe though
I thought Shane wrote this
@@gnomethegamer9706 written by Paddy, Shane & Paul Fraser , this was Paddys 8th or 9th film i think , his first being no room for romeo brass also written by Shane & Paul , worth a watch if you havnt seen it ,it has a few members of the cast that would go on to be in This Is England in it

He was decent against eubank too. He’s no mug. Perfectly cast like everything in this film. Trainspotting dead man’s shoes and long good Friday best British films of all. From the north the middle and the south. This film should be on the telly more
Loved him in the 2010 movie “The Heavy” with Christopher Lee, Vinnie Jones, Lee Ryan and Adrian Paul.
😂
bad guy but that only goes to show, well acted indeed. hell, the whole movie felt like it was in balance, like the cast knew the situation well
He’s terrific in Alexander as well. Couple of great scenes with him and Colin Farrell.
The 2nd scene is one of my favourite scenes of any movie... ever. The absolute hatred of who he is talking to whilst trying to contain his rage has never been acted better by anyone, well... it's never felt more legitimate than this one here anyway. Powerful stuff.
Very true
Easily in my top 10 films of all time. A work of art xxx

@@itsMrNoble Now just imagine that clown horn when they pull up
Uk in a nutshell
I've seen more 'threatening' scenes from Hollywood than I care to remember. And this fine performance from a underrated British film knocks all of them into a cocked hat. Menacing, disturbing and real, to the last.
And that's where the directors nail it. It looks and feels so real. The rain, the shit, overcrowded car, the bad clothes.
The little fake shudder he does @2:07 says it all. Brilliant. Then a few seconds later when he suppresses his laugh @2:10. Absolutely awesome.
Paddy was next level as Richard..calm..understated but pure menace and the fact he had good on his side somehow makes it even better...brilliant film.
"You're not afraid of me are yer". That reaction to that question is hatred in it's purest form
That's my favourite part of their interaction. No words needed, whatsoever.
A true British classic! One of the best revenge films ever made, just superb.
They don't make getaway cars like that any more.
You expect Ronald MacDonald to get out of that car.

I went to college with Paddy and Shane Meadows. Both were the funniest people. Amazing to see they could be so dark and gritty. Amazing film...
His arse fell out about 4 times in that scene, probably the best British film ever made, Paddy and Shane at their genius best...🙏
The comments below say it all, but this short clip encapsulates the essence of real male menace. Growing up on a West Yorkshire council estate, I have witnessed these characters first hand. Paddy Considine's venom is palpable. Gary Stretch's gut reaction at recognising an altogether bigger bully is also very real here. It's such an English-style movie with universal overtones. Great story and direction.
@Vocal Gravy I have spent the past 8 years living and working here in Japan, and you could not be more removed from the northern-type menace this film captures. Japan, for a northerner at least, is like walking around the Garden of Eden!
@Vocal Gravy Ha ha ha.. well said my northern brother, well said, indeed. Any of those satellite towns is brimming with just-beneath-the-surface menace. It only takes a wee scratch to unearth it. Up the meadows and down the snickets.

I absolutely love this film, but it's so claustrophobic, it hooks you in and doesn't let you go until the the final credits. A true western set in middle England.
@@josemengelez6947 fair comment, but this ain’t set in the midlands. Lol
@@akwk2712 It's set in the peak district isn't it? Which is predominantly in Derbyshire, which is part of the East Midlands.
How Paddy Considine or even Gary Stretch didn't get an award for their performances I dont know. Gary Stretch had just retired as a boxer. Dead Man's Shoes is a masterpiece. I shouldn't forget the excellent Toby Kobell. What a film!!!!
Probably one of the most underrated films ever..gritty, funny, sad,realistic,crying, laughing, moving,deep,absolutely brilliant
One of the great scenes ever..Paddy Considine gives a masterclass..his stance and facial moves are blackly funny and completely terrifying..and as he delivers those wonderful threats you thank God he isnt aiming them at you..Gary Stretch gives it a go..but he aint no match..and thats what makes it so great..so kudos to Stretch for acting the hardman that has no chance..its just another great scene from a great movie..
micheal green It was a stroke of genius to cast someone who looks pretty hard as the bad guy. I knew so many dickheads growing up who were pretty tough and abused that power horribly. It's so satisfying to watch Considine tear their stupid little Empire down brick by brick.
Amazing
Gary stretch also plays his part well. A small town hard man . Every town has one .But every town also has "harry Browns" :-)
Fair play to Stretch. Hes going one on one with a top class actor and he doesn't get bulldozed. Puzzled why we never saw more of him?
He is a hardman though. Check his wiki.
My all time favorite film. Paddy is under rated
hu? its a top top film! on many levels and paddy is absolute class in it! as he is in others thats why he's rated in the top 100 best actors in the world
And then you watch hot fuzz 😂
Im Aussie and this movie is a bloody master-class. Excellent film
Chopper tho, fav Aussie film. These two are up there together for wild acting and tension
Skippy get outta tha whoata
Fabulous performance by Paddy. Real, true menace. The big guy knows he's in trouble. He can see Paddy is not going to stop. That's real dread.
"You get to me first"
"Just might"
Gary stretch nails that "just might" line as the thug trying to save face but clearly knows he's dealing with someone he can't handle
They're both brilliant actors.
"clearly knows he's dealing with someone he can't handle” - must have been how Stretch felt when he had a run-in “in real life” with London’s Gangster No 1 Davy “The Longfella” Hunt and got the smackdown
Stumbled across this years and years ago by accident. Instantly became one of my favourite films along with many of the cast.
Absolutely the best way to discover masterpieces like this! 👏🏻👏🏻
Have you seen Romm for Romeo Brass? Paddy plays the best trurn of a local simpleton. The trailer is really wrong as it makes it out to be a Full Monty type heartfelt "romp" and it SOOOOOO isn't. Plus Frank Harper at the end, you are cheering that fucker like no onjes businness
One of those films that has stayed with me years and years after watching it. Unreal. Criminally underrated.
An insane and heartbreaking flick. An absolute must see, Padddy Considine is top class.
Agreed.... Great analogy.
One of the greatest and hardest hitting films. Meadows and Considine at their brutal best
Paddddddy
How has Gary Stretch not been snapped up by Hollywood. What a brilliant performance. We all know Paddy can act, but Gary has it all menace, and looks.
Agree entirely, awesome performance here & he had the looks too!
Good boxer as well i believe
He played Cleitus the Black in Oliver Stone's Alexander.
He's incredible in this scene, he's playing a really tough Bastard but he's confronting someone that he can't intimidate. He just doesn't show fear exactly more confusion and even a little bit of respect
Dude is handsome - even more so when you can see how he effortlessly acts. He's doing it as a lark and nailing it.
Not just one of the most underrated films around, it's one of the best British films ever made!
British Films are some of the best. They have a real rawness about them. You should watch Gangster Number One.
One of the greatest and most tragic films ever. I can't watch it too often because of the actual meaning. The first time i saw it as a young man it really affected me. Near flawless film, Paddy is some actor

A sensational performance by Paddy Considine, one of the best ever.
I used to teach Gary Stretch in the ‘70’s. He was a top lad.

@@lindsayrogers6690 I used to Police in St Helens. Stooped him once in his car when he was over from the states. Top bloke.
seckie1001 yes, you’re right! I taught them all, good lads. Conrad and Ronnie, at one time, had a really cool menswear shop in St. Helens.
Bullshit .
What an amazing film this is. This scene is just stunning; an acting masterclass in seething rage and restraint. As others have said, Paddy Considine is just mesmerising in this film but also huge credit should also go to Gary Stretch who despite not being a professional actor is pure class in this scene, fantastic display of bravado through increasing uncertainty and dread of his opponent.
For me it all starts with the scene in the club when Richard is asked “can I help you mate” after staring him down and his aloof, dreamy, almost passive “sorry?” sets the story up for how very different Richard actually is and how easily underestimated he is until he switches in the blink of an eye. Terrifying but amazing.
@@yolomorgannwg7713 thank you…bellend….
With out doubt the very best low budget British movie ever made. Unbelievably underrated. A stellar performance by Paddy. In fact his finest performance to date. Same can be said about Gary Stretch, shame he didn't go on to do more in in his acting career. Check out his fight against eubank - things could of panned out so different for the bloke, he had a very impressive boxing record- 31 fights, 1 loss. Shame
Absolutely brilliant scene, he doesn't back down an inch, you can feel his anger and willingly tells him where he's staying!
yeah, Sonny was expecting him to say "Not telling ya mate", etc. :-)
He should have got an Oscar for that performance cause its one of the most spine chilling scenes ive ever seen in a film

Yep they're just like real life random dickheads you meet in pubs all over the place
Just searched this scene out. One of the most intense understated scenes ever committed to film. Paddy Considine is perfection in this movie and this scene with Gary in particular. That one moment where he opens his palm and says "you're right here" has stayed with me since I saw this for the first time. There is always one low budget movie where you realize you are watching a fantastic actor who you will seek out for the rest of their career - and for me this movie did that for both Paddy Considine and Toby Kebbell who was equally brilliant in his role. Unforgettable scenes.
I only saw this film last night for my first time ever. I've never heard of it before but I certainly won't forget it now. Awesome film.
