Lock, Stock...: ...And Four Stolen Hooves (2000)
Love it, want more !!
I like this movie. If you liked Snatch, lock, stock & two smoking barrels, I have the feeling that you will appreciate this one as well. Obviously not as much as the movies mentioned earlier. The usual gory gangster scenes with excessive amounts of violence, compassion feeling for the main roles and incredible misfortunes are all present throughout the movie.
I've had a few good laughs when reading the bad research remark.
First of all, when they do a character, they need them to be recognizable. Hence, without using German accents and names, not one US/UK viewing audience member would relate to a Dutch person speaking, since the Netherlands is such a small country to begin with. Using Dutch names etc: it just won't work, because people need to be able relate to a certain role. This is why you did see two stoners instead of what a real Dutch person would look like.
Frankly, as a Dutch person I think I'm more ashamed of someone butchering the English language, like you seem to do.
