Just watched the bank job with Jason statham in it. Interesting film but have to ask, the pictures, who is it?
The film alludes to the fact that a royal had a threesome with a couple of black guys.
So what's the real story?

That's the whole point though, it was alluded to that it was Princess Margret (I think) but seeing as the story was based on the fact that they couldn't even report there was a story it could be totally made up.

I enjoyed the movie though.

Probobly one of my favourite films.

I have to ask though, with movies set in very busy locations, how do they film it? Surely you'd get loads of "Hi mum, I'm on telly" grapes in the background.

Good film. I watched it when it was on Youtube ages ago, alas it's not up there any longer.

The scenes outside the bank are on a film set that just had the ground fllor of the bank and adjacent shops. The upper floors of the building seem to be CGI.

The robbery itself took place much as portrayed in the film, even down to the radio ham listening in. The conspiracy theory is pretty dubious though:-)

Why, she supposedly had a fling with the gangster John Bindon so dirty photos aren't that far fetched.

No, but the idea that MI5 would employ some bank robbers to gain access to a deposit box and issue a D notice to cover it up certainly is.
