This is the ass kicking final fight scene from Snatch. Brad Pitt play’s bare knuckle fighter Mickey O’Neil, an unstoppable yet undisciplined master of the knockout going up against a gigantic and mean unnamed opponent. Major cash and lives are on the line and he just has to remember “Don’t Knock Him Out!”. Mickey resolutely endures round after round of bare fisted punishment while dishing out a fair share of his own as his world spins around him.
Bare-knuckle fighting is both an art of pain and skill and you can really feel it in this rowdy match up. Director Guy Richie brings his magic touch to up the intensity here with a rocking soundtrack (Oasis – Fuckin’ in the Bushes), moody cinematography, skilled editing and unique visual effects .
Brad Pitt was a big fan of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and approached director Guy Ritchie for a role in his next project. Ritchie found Pitt couldn’t master a London accent so he gave him the role of Mickey the Gypsy. When told that he would be playing a boxer, Pitt became concerned because he had just finished shooting Fight Club the year before and did not want to play the same type of role again. Luckily Brad took the role anyway for the opportunity to work with Richie.
So does anyone know who the big dude is in this clip?
