Rise of the Foot Soldier 2007 - MTV HD

Extreme Extended Edition - Anyone else watching this ?

Think I’ve seen a normal version not that long ago. Craig Fairbrass can be menacing on the screen.

His range of ery is matched by few....

Brilliant films. CF is excellent in them as is Terry Stone.

How different is the extended film?

Love the RofFS series. Not sure if I have seen the Extreme version, but it's currently on MTV HD again on Friday 11pm and is available on Paramount+

I saw the extended version years ago. The ''original'' release is far, far better. Extended version makes it a mess.

From memory it has an extra couple of scenes. One scene has someone in a car swearing (at Carlton I think it is) so he gets out and beats the bloke up) I think!

I think there's an extra scene with the torturing too.

The ROTFS films are a guilty pleasure of mine. Fairbrass and stone are great in them, though Carlton's character can be a bit moody.

For me, the original Essex Boys was decent, the Foot Soldier films watchable caricatures with performances by phone that the characters wear like comfy cardigans!!

[DjSki]

I thought Guy Ritchie films were bad (apart from The Gentlemen which is reasonable) then I saw one of these abominations.

Whole new level of fake geezer awfulness.

Guilty pleasure of mine too, infact I will watch any gangster film that Craig Fairbrass is in.

50 year old blokes playing 20 year old makes it more interesting

Me too although he’s virtually past it now.

Given he had Sly on speed dial it’s a shame he got no other roles to speak of. Perhaps he was never that bothered

Terry Stone's Tony Tucker wig deserves a Bafta on it own

Haha, my thoughts too !

I presume RADA must do a standaline course for cock-er-nee gangster acting by now.

Once you're entrenched in the industry it's a job for life.

Yep.

'Rise Of The Footsoldier XXXVI Essex Boys Time-Machine - Pat and the boys travel back in time to have a tear-up with that little nose-ointment, Hitler. Featuring Danny Dyer as Winston Churchill.

I've seen we have another one on the way.

Terry stone is an interesting character, he has a good podcast and was on dodge woodalls recently.

He is a right old in for a penny out with a pound character.

I listened to that, really interesting guy involved big time in the rave scene back in the day.

Was also interesting what he was saying about Carlton Leach not wanting any involvement in the series as felt stitched up
