Title: Green Street Post by: Ralphy on Tuesday, January 17, 2006, 13:12:39 Watched it yesterday, anyone seen it?
Abit OTT in my opinion. Title: Green Street Post by: fatbury on Tuesday, January 17, 2006, 13:14:11 never heard of it
Title: Green Street Post by: Ralphy on Tuesday, January 17, 2006, 13:19:30 About the Green Street Elite, West Ham's firm.
Better than Football Factory. Title: Green Street Post by: Rossi on Tuesday, January 17, 2006, 14:06:44 I thought it was alright. Some bits were a bit unrealistic though, like the main storyline
Title: Green Street Post by: Rich Pullen on Tuesday, January 17, 2006, 14:13:32 Hooligan films tend to be tedious. The best one was "The Firm" with Gary Oldman.
I watched "Green Street" only because the Macclesfield train station scene was shot at Westbury, Wilts train station! I liked the idea of hooliganism being an addiction and not just for sake of fighting. Title: Green Street Post by: walrus on Tuesday, January 17, 2006, 14:19:27 Farking awful, an embarrassment to football and not fit to lick the Football Factory's boots.
Green Street is as bad as Football Factory is good..... And I fooking love Football Factory! Title: Green Street Post by: sonicyouth on Tuesday, January 17, 2006, 14:30:30 footy factory was good because the characters were (for the most part) believable and it portrayed them as normal everyday young blokes who just happened to like a bit of fighting.
i.d. was great for it's supposed realism (i can't personally vouch for that) and it was almost the complete opposite of footy factory, john descended into a complete nutcase from being a 'normal' career driven family man. not seen green street yet, not sure i want to. Title: Green Street Post by: my-velocity on Tuesday, January 17, 2006, 14:45:41 Was a good film, worth buying but a foreign women directs it so you never know if shes got it all right or not.
Title: Green Street Post by: Maidenhead Red on Tuesday, January 17, 2006, 15:30:15 Don't rate green streets at all. Just because an american hobbit thinks he's the leader of the gse. (do american football teams have firms?)
Football Factory is so much better and I.D is better than that. Title: Green Street Post by: yeo on Tuesday, January 17, 2006, 15:30:17 The Directors a bird Rich.
I suppose there might be girl Firms out in Germany<Ill keep a look out when im out there for the world cup. 8) Title: Green Street Post by: magicroundabout on Tuesday, January 17, 2006, 17:09:43 i thought Green Street was shit.
how can some yank have his first ever fight against another firm and smack there 'top boy' about. No fucking way. it is pure shit FF is quality ID is the dogs haven't seen the Firm yet so that will be put on my to watch list Title: Green Street Post by: Spencer_White on Tuesday, January 17, 2006, 17:42:43 ID - The benchmark
FF - accurate and entertaining in parts, but a bit of a yarn The Firm - Not very good/very violent. Focuses on knives at football. Green St - Stands up to no scrutiny whatsover. A cringefest. Title: Green Street Post by: Boeta on Tuesday, January 17, 2006, 18:42:30 cant remember seeing a worst film than the firm
Title: Green Street Post by: dogs on Tuesday, January 17, 2006, 18:44:13 Seen ID, The Firm and Football Factory, ID is the best film, though seeing it's more recent I preferred Football Factory.
Title: Green Street Post by: SwindonStevo on Wednesday, January 18, 2006, 08:53:10 the firms shit
never seen id football factorys a decent and realistic film green street is a better FILM than all of the above but that takes away how real it is...its very hollywood. Title: Green Street Post by: el duque on Wednesday, January 18, 2006, 11:03:57 My theory is that you can judge the quality of a football film, by how many of the actors have been/have gone on to be in Eastenders.
I think I am correct in saying that ID tops the table with 2 (Billy Mitchell, and Anthony the Doctor). The firm has 1 (Phil Mitchell). Presumably the newer films have none. ID is therefore the clear winner. This may be wrong though, as I'm don't really watch TV any more. Title: Green Street Post by: strooood on Wednesday, January 18, 2006, 11:26:32 the barmaid in ID went on to become carol (bianca's mum) in deadenders i'll have you know!
and i dont know about football factory being 'realistic' apart from the clothing and excellent casting from the director it's really all very unreal, that's what makes it good though i recon Title: Green Street Post by: Asher on Wednesday, January 18, 2006, 11:30:15 Quote from: "decks-e-tow" the barmaid in ID went on to become carol (bianca's mum) in deadenders i'll have you know! and i dont know about football factory being 'realistic' apart from the clothing and excellent casting from the director it's really all very unreal, that's what makes it good though i recon and the coke!!!!!! Not that our lot do that but many in footy do, tut tut Title: Green Street Post by: sonicyouth on Wednesday, January 18, 2006, 14:39:20 i thought the firm was quite good. but then again i just like alan clarke films...

Does that mean you were telling me fibs at Gillingham :D Title: Green Street Post by: Simon Pieman on Sunday, February 11, 2007, 12:38:00 I watched Green Street last night. It was pretty awful. Not really sure what they were trying to do with the 'storyline'.
Title: Green Street Post by: blinkpip on Sunday, February 11, 2007, 13:35:10 Green Street was soooooo last year. :D
Title: Green Street Post by: Simon Pieman on Sunday, February 11, 2007, 13:37:32 Quote from: "blinkpip" Green Street was soooooo last year. :D And I.D. was last century. Your point? Title: Green Street Post by: Devon Red on Sunday, February 11, 2007, 20:25:36 Green street is terrible. Football factory is quality along with ID. If you want proper hooligans though then hooligan and trouble on the terraces are worth a watch.
Also one of the birds in football factory was dawn in Eastenders Title: Green Street Post by: Chubbs on Sunday, February 11, 2007, 20:28:48 just about to watch FF, just finished Downloading it.
Watched it a while back butmy mind needs refreshing. Title: Green Street Post by: Give us an S on Sunday, February 11, 2007, 21:23:22 I think ID & FF are both quality. Both the closest you can get to reality in there seperate era's. FF also is really funny and I will never bore of watching it.
Green Street is poor and they didnt do their research properly in my opinion. The Firm was just a bit OTT and I hated it. Title: Green Street Post by: Chubbs on Sunday, February 11, 2007, 22:12:28 You muggy little cunt.
Title: Green Street Post by: Samdy Gray on Sunday, February 11, 2007, 22:14:08 Quote from: "Chubbs" You muggy little cunt. * Muggy little sigh Title: Green Street Post by: Spud on Sunday, February 11, 2007, 22:14:13 The thing that annoyed me about 'The Football Factory' was Zeba 'fucking' dee wearing Adidas poppers with a Stone Island jacket!
I.D is the best hoolie related film.

I.D is the best hoolie related film. Yes that was a serious fuck up by the wardrobe dept Title: Green Street Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Monday, February 12, 2007, 17:14:11 Quote from: "RichPullen" Hooligan films tend to be tedious. The best one was "The Firm" with Gary Oldman. I watched "Green Street" only because the Macclesfield train station scene was shot at Westbury, Wilts train station! I wonder why they didn't shoot the Macclesfield station scene at....errr.....Macclesfield Station. Perhaps it would'nt have looked like Macclesfield on the screen :shock: It reminds me of the Simpsons episode (most things remind me of Simpsons episodes) where they are making a film in Springfield and a stage hand is painting some horses: Bart (I think): Why are you painting those horses? Stage hand: So they look like cows. Bart: Why don't you use cows? Stage hand: Because cows don't look like cows on the screen so we just paint some horses instead. Bart: What if you need to film some horses? Stage hand: We tie some cats together 8) Title: Green Street Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, February 12, 2007, 20:15:21 I also wondered why they filmed Lord of the Rings in New Zealand and not Middle Earth.

Title: Green Street Post by: oxford_fan on Tuesday, February 13, 2007, 13:31:19 had to turn green street off after half an hour, the bloke second from left was doing my head in with his awful accent
http://www.paramountpictures.co.uk/films/green_street/images/im_quad.jpg the firm was brutal from what i saw, i left when the baby got a knife in its mouth, not my choice of pre-going-out film Title: Green Street Post by: Arriba on Tuesday, February 13, 2007, 14:01:32 i own all of the films mentioned.green street is shit and i wish i never bought it.
all the others are great for different reasons but the firm is my fav Title: Green Street Post by: herthab on Tuesday, February 13, 2007, 17:21:58 Best film for footy violence has to be 'soccer dog'
I only watched 5 minutes of it and I wanted to knife someone............ |
