He then takes the debt money back from the unconscious friends, but allows Tom to leave with the antique shotguns, after a brief standoff in Harry's office. The friends are arrested, but declared innocent after the traffic warden identifies Dog's dead crew as the prime suspects. Back at the bar, they send Tom out to get rid of the last piece of evidence connecting them to the case: the antique shotguns. Meanwhile, Chris arrives to give the friends back the duffel bag.
He has taken all the money for himself and his son, and the bag is empty save for a catalogue of antique weapons. After leafing through the catalogue, the friends learn that the shotguns are actually quite valuable, and quickly call Tom. The film ends with Tom's mobile phone, situated in his mouth, ringing as he hangs over the side of a bridge, preparing to drop the shotguns into the River Thames , ending on a cliffhanger. Madonna 's Maverick Records label released the soundtrack in the United States in but omitted nine tracks from the UK release.
The production of the film followed Guy Ritchie's single short film which preceded Lock, Stock. As stated in filmscouts. Although it was Ritchie's first feature, his previous short film The Hard Case , was sufficiently impressive to secure interest not only from financial backers but also persuaded Sting to take the role of JD. The way in which he handles violence and action appealed to me. I don't like gratuitous violence.
I think it's much more chilling when it's suggested rather than graphic. Ritchie also looked to the celebrity arena to secure the right cast such as Vinne Jones. A one-hour documentary of the production of the film was released featuring much of the cast along with Ritchie. In , Total Film named it the 38th greatest British film of all time.

Lock Stock And Two Smoking Barrels is too mixed-up to synopsise easily and too rickety to think about closely, but it gets plenty of laughs as it rushes from scene to scene.

I've got a bunch of these on my queue to rent, but I doubt you could make a crime film better than this.
This film oozes with style, class, dark humor, plot twists and turns, and doesn't drag one bit. The casting and characterization is perfect, and Ritchie isn't afraid to move the cameras around; no pretense is really made here at "realism" - Ritchie doesn't mask the fact that it's a film and he runs with it. I really don't think of myself as easily impressed, and I have seen a hell of a lot of films in my time, but this one instantly made my Top 10 after only a single viewing.
Yes, I'm raving about it, and while it may not be "spiritually enriching" or contain any deep sociological content which I actually do look for in films , somehow it still scores as one hell of a film; memorable and entertaining, and stands up well to multiple viewings.
I am a bit dismayed to see some of the marketing of this film comparing it to other things like Quentin Tarantino films or Trainspotting.
