History YMMV / AttackTheBlock

* DirectorDisplacement: Creator/EdgarWright was only an executive producer, yet his name was featured all over the advertising.

* DoNotDoThisCoolThing: Possibly Moses towards Props and Mayhem. He rebuffs their efforts to join the gang, and also advises them to both go home and lock their doors, plus ''do their homework'' when the aliens are on the rampage. Probably because they're simply too young, but it also may be that, on some level, he's trying to steer them clear of the road that life has pushed him down.

* DesignatedHero: After first meeting the gang by seeing them violently mug a helpless woman, it can be tricky to accept them as our heroes. Their defense/apology to Sam that they wouldn't have mugged her if they knew she lived in the block falls pretty flat, such that even Sam calls them out on it, though one could interpret it as them saying that they wouldn't have mugged her had they known she was one of the many people living in the block struggling to get by like themselves.
** Plenty of movies feature morally grey heroes: mobsters, hitmen, serial killers, con artists, sleazy videographers, etc. A good protagonist needs to be interesting, not necessarily morally pure. To paraphrase the words of director Joe Cornish: "If you only allowed squeaky-clean protagonists to flourish in films, we'd be throwing away a massive amount of movie characters in films.

* CrazyAwesome: The only explanation for how Hi-Hatz survived in the elevator.
