Sad one bill my auntie floss r I p played dessies ma she was a legend and still is we lost her couple years back she was one strong lady and il always love her watched it on Netflix still cant believe how real she was in it thanks for this bill ❤🙏
I watched that on cutting edge on C4 and it was real as, i was always thinking these lads weren’t real actors but you’ve made my day saying they weren’t and still watch it occasionally. Thank you Billy for all your insights and stories💯
I cannot believe this!! I have been trying to find this fabulous film for years and I see that it is now a thing. It was so realistic, unglamorous and beautifully acted. Very, very true to life of North West working class.
@@Exnavyjay Weird reply, if you know anything about jail you'll know that the Youth offenders are notoriously noisy to fuck. Not while shooters was on. I don't know why you'd think I'd make that up? Weirdo.
Brilliant mate this really resonated with me had similar experiences & this definitely took me back i think we are lucky we had the inner strength & character to say no more. My days are taken up on 10 k walks with my beloved Staffordshire bull terrier & a clean living life getting up on a morning ready to connect with the world. I think unless you’ve experienced that other life you can’t truly appreciate the here & now. ✊🏽
Love watchin your videos Thas no bullshit just straight up honest and open in everything you’ve done in your life good and bad could sit and listen to your stories all day long
I think it was actually made as one of those Film on Four projects. I remember flipping through the channels on telly in about 2000 and catching it part way through. I instantly realised it was something unique. I'd see the DVD for sale in HMV sometimes in the years after, but they were trying to charge £15 or £20, so I never bothered to buy it. Searched for it online all the time and finally found it years ago. Everyone knows it now, but back then it was a small, indie film that most people had never seen or heard of. I still watch it periodically. Absolutely brilliant. The bit that always stuck in my head was at the beginning when we see John hanging about outside this fellas house, then suddenly Ricky and Des come flying round the corner bally'd up!
I remember watching and taping this when C4 first showed it - it seemed so realistic compared with most films that were out up to that point - or how I imagined that life to be in real life UK. I certainly had never seen anyone on film spewing up after killing someone before, same with the petrol shower scene after the crazy shootout where nobody got hit - I had never seen or read about using petrol to get shut of evidence in real life. I would say that Shooters is a underrated gem of a movie that deserves be a lot more widely known than it is today.
I really do admire how far you have come.e and love your strous . I'm 4wks clean and really hope that I have or should I say can find the strength that you have so that I can become the person that ppl knew before my addiction
It was yehh You had doorman running around Liverpool shooting other doormen and grafters up How do I know ? One of my mates worked for Pete Littler who was running Premier for the Clark’s and they was heavy. One day my mate goes to me I gotta go look at a new Bm M5 of Premiers that’s been shot up 🤣
Des used to come in the bar I done the door at and was always a top fella , infact his mates and the birds were all nice There ya go and yeah I loved that film and wish they done another
I've only just found out what he said through this video even though I've seen the film that many times it's just the scouse accent I couldn't never understand those words
Powerful that mate and well done fighting the battle, love watching the videos, spent most weekends of the 90's in Liverpool as I'm only in Chester, great times with great people, thank god there's no evidence of what we all did.
Nice one Billy good shout, belter film Shooters, i was in me 20's when i first watched that film, ive seen Dez in a few movies since then like the passion of christ or summet like that? A Mel Gibson movie he directed, yeah was class film the old Shooters movie with it been all non actors n stuff n true to life. Enjoyed that laal crack Billy cheers hope you and family are all good especially your topboy Joe Moore💪💙✌👍👍👍
Only watched this on Netflix yesterday I'm from Dublin Ireland and watching the film brought back memories the scousers are so like us dublin lads everything the exact same over here in Dublin too a T... I feel a real connection to Liverpool Billy seems cool.. Love 2 the scousers from Ireland. #gangland 🇮🇪😎💙💯👍
Born in Liverpool, grew up in Dublin, spot on man, couldn't get 2 similar cities, good people, funny, natural.humour, good craic, fair, and loyal....Great people.
But you don't understand. You're a gangster, Dez Mum, i'm not. I'm not a gangster How did you kill him, Dez? I didn't But how did you kill him? Mum, I shot him. Oh my God!! You've got guns??? No. 😂😂
7 months sober at the end of the month. No one can help you if you don't want to help yourself for 15 years I couldn't go a day without a bevvie or a line. Rehab the lot all I wanted to do is constantly use. Now I've met my missus I've knocked it on the head have a baby on the way and am not going back can't wait to hit that year sober ! Is right Billy keep up the content la
Brilliant film. I can’t believe none of them were proper actors, they were all great in it. My only problem is it’s too quick - it’s only 70 mins long. It’s on UA-cam if anyone wants to see it.
Hi bill am 52 now and 16 years clean lived life to the max raves eeees don’t regret was great days but a family come and I broke down need to get my head down and work hard for my kids
Francis Bennett is a crack addict big John works the doors on the gala bingo Speke Dezzy is on bail for breaching a restraining order against his ex wife.
I love that film mate, I have watched it, a few times. The lads had done well with the outline, that they were given. I know now more about the films deeper meaning. It was Cocaine wars in Liverpool in the 90s. Cheers mate. I enjoy your words mate. Regards
Franny Bennett 😂 there's some press article's on it too and on dezzy bayliss he for nicked for summut as well that franny Bennett got nicked trying to rescue weed from a burning grow according to one article too
Alway gets me right there when u open up about wat u used to be billy most respect for coming away from the shite to were u are today great watch as per
Great movie , No surrender another great liverpool movie with elvis costello in it , should of made a movie about the book spiders in the bath , all classics
Yeah remember that club, can't think of the name of it now, the buzz or something but yeah this night was a fancy dress night and something extremely funny happened when I saw someone in this crazy outfit, even face darkened etc and he's weighing in some lad and stopped and shouted to me 'Get on this gear, the suit' then carried on precisely punching this fella. Even had crazy wig!😂
Nope i think Heaven was on Victoria Street, just guessing to be honest? Underneath the Market now that's a good question , from my Era there was the Moon stone in one end , and the Star and Garter on the other end 🤔🤔🤔 And a certain nightclub by the Star and Garter called, in Chronological order Top Rank, Rotters, Romeo and Juliet, Studio 54, Baileys ? I think........................🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
I was in hmp stafford with you when shooters came out. Can remember you telling me about it down the gym. Im sure it was being shown on tele at the time and stafford had just got the teles in the pad. Long time ago now
As a filmmaker myself Billy (originally from Liverpool) Shooters was brilliant, very visceral and why was that, well it had a documentary feel to it (with actual Liverpool felons/ir ex) it was slated by the pouncey London liberal dweebs who were fed a diet of Guy "I practice dressage" Ritchie bullshit. 20 years later the film still resonates.
This film is nothing short of a complete masterpiece, it doesn’t get anywhere near the credit it deserves.
your on heavey pain meds you it the worst ganster film ever made and the fact it its gangers in liverpool as well it's not a masterpiece and it dont deserve any credit to many plastic scouser accents in it am a scouser and i know a put on scouse accent when i hear one like

SHOOTERS....I must of watched it about 40 or 50 times, I love it, it showed exactly how it was in Liverpool at the time, thanks Billy mate.
It spoke to Mancunians as well.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Accurate analysis.
Billy your a top top man for being so honest about yourself & being open !! You’re an inspiration! Hope you keep well ❤
I asked you about this subject months ago Bill, top man for filling us in
The first time I saw Shooters I was on remand in Doncatraz, a wing full of 16yr olds had never been so quiet. Everybody loved it.
I was on remand in Walton jail at the time... I’d just done a ten and was looking at an 80! Do I win the bullshitting competition?
