History Series / LockStock

* AfroAsskicker: Bunny, the cocaine-snorting mook in "Lock, Stock and One Big Bullock", sports an inmpressive 'fro.

-->'''Jamie''': ''[enters the pub and walks past several pretty women and a sign saying "Auditions", into a room in which a woman is stripping in front of Lee, Bacon, Moon and a video camera]'' What's goin' on?

* DisproportionateRetribution: When [[TheDragon Three Feet]] and [[MinionWithAnFInEvil Trevor]] get beaten up when they pay a visit to Eddie the Diamond's bar in "Lock, Stock and Two Hundred Smoking Kalashnikovs", Miami calls in every local villain he can think of, bribes the police to look the other way and buys a vanload of [=AK47s=] (hence the episode's title) ''and an anti-tank missile'' in order to take Eddie down. [[spoiler: Things do not go according to plan because the lads [[ItMakesSenseInContext inadvertently steal the guns]], but the intent is clearly there.]]

** In "Lock, Stock and Two Sips", Jamie tells the other lads that Uncle Keith's condition of lending him the money to pay off Miami is that they've got to put an expat mate of his up in the pub for a few days as he's got to lie low when he gets back to London due to his being a marked man. Lee asks if they've got to go to "City or Stansted" to pick him up (referring to the two smallest of London's five airports [[note]] the larger three being Heathrow (obviously), Gatwick and Luton -- and yes, despite having the word "London" in their official names, three of those airports could in no way be defined as being in London[[/note]]). Jamie replies that it's not that simple. Cut to ... the four lads ''in a rowing boat'', meeting up with a dilapidated trawler somewhere on the Thames Estuary. At night.

* CounterfeitCash: In "Lock, Stock and a Fistful of Jack and Jills", a bag-load of it is repeatedly swapped over with an identical bag containing a million quids-worth of ''real'' money. [[spoiler: Larry Harmless ends up inadvertently using the fake money to pay off an enemy, with fatal results, while the Dutchies set fire to the real money in the belief that it's the fake stuff]].

** A poster for ''Film/GetCarter'' can be seen adorning one of the walls in the pub.

The [[RecycledTheSeries TV series spin-of]] of ''Film/LockStockAndTwoSmokingBarrels'' which aired on Creator/Channel4 in 2000. None of the actors ''or characters'' from the film returned, but it was very much a SpiritualSuccessor -- a StrictlyFormula crime caper comedy set in East London, with four lads, a menacing LondonGangster of whom they frequently ran afoul, {{Cluster F Bomb}}s, Cockney slang and witty dialogue coming out the ears. The series consists of one 90-minute TV movie followed by six 50-minute episodes; each episode title begins with the words [[EpisodeFinishesTheTitle "Lock, Stock and"]], with the rest of the title referring to the MacGuffin of the week (or one of them at any rate). Creator/GuyRitchie, who was working on ''Film/{{Snatch}}'' at the time when this series was being made, is credited as one of the writers of the first episode, in addition to being an executive producer along with Creator/MatthewVaughn and, err, Radio/ChrisEvans (not [[Creator/ChrisEvans that one]]).

* NationalStereotypes: The Greeks run a kebab shop, the Dutchies are stoners, the Russians are psychos who drink vodka straight from the bottle, and the German has a mullet.

* AerosolFlamethrower: This is the WeaponOfChoice for Firebug.

* TheAllegedCar: Lee's Triumph Stag -- TruthInTelevision as they had a reputation for unreliability. It breaks down in "Lock, Stock and Four Stolen Hooves", setting off a whole storyline as the lads, in their desperation to get back to London, steal the next vehicle they see, [[spoiler: which happens to be the van containing Miami's racehorse]]. In later episodes, the lads have a different car.

* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Trevor, one of Miami's underlings, comes across as -- the guy even breaks out into a sweat when tasked with doing anything villainous. That said, when he does screw up he doesn't try to pin the blame on anyone else, which Miami respects. Barbie also counts — she's Miami's secretary and invariably comes across as a woman who just happens to work for a villain rather than being an actual villain herself.

* ArtisticLicense: In "Lock, Stock and One Big Bullock", the titular MacGuffin is clearly a mature bull, the implication being that Moon's relatives are planning to make a lot of money from him by breeding. However, a bullock -- which is what the animal is stated to be in the title -- is a young ''castrated'' bull.

* ChristmasEveryDay: It's the ''motto'' of Lapland, Miami's Christmas-themed strip club that the lads like to frequent.

* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Trevor, one of Miami's underlings, comes across as -- the guy even breaks out into a sweat when tasked with doing anything villainous. That said, when he does screw up he doesn't try to pin the blame on anyone else, which Miami respects.

* ClusterFBomb: Its a spin-off from Creator/GuyRitchie movie, so there's plenty of this.
