History YMMV / Snatch

* ValuesDissonance: The characters casually refer to the travelling community as pikies, gypsies or "gyppos". The former two have historically been used to demean them as dishonest thieves while the latter term is equivalent to calling them LowerClassLouts.

** A skinny Irish boxer with a penchant for knocking out opponents in a single well-timed punch? Weirdly reminiscent of Connor MacGregor, huh?

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Avi using the Concorde to fly from New York to London. The plane would be retired in 2003, just three years after the film was released. Also, the only notable appearance of a mobile phone in the whole film is Tony answering his car phone at one point.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Was Mickey's refusal to take a dive in his first fight against one of Brick Top's fighters really because he was playing his own angle, as Turkish says, or was he going to do as he was asked until he was pushed too far? Notably, after being told to go down in the fourth, he tells Turkish "just make sure he doesn't fuckin' kill me before the fourth" and generally seems agreeable to going through with the fix ... until he is taken by surprise when Bomber Harris headbutts him for no reason while the ref is giving instructions. When Mickey [=KOs=] Harris mere moments later, is it because he had never planned to go through with the fix, [[RageBreakingPoint because he was infuriated by what Harris did]], or did instinct kick in after being caught by surprise and [[ReflexiveResponse he threw his KO punch out of reflex]]?

** Bullet-Tooth Tony doesn't appear until at least a third of the way through the film, but is extremely popular due to being a suave, MadeOfIron GeniusBruiser played by Creator/VinnieJones who spouts a FountainOfMemes.

* GeniusBonus: Avi sneeringly refers to Boris as a "Cossack." Cossacks were responsible for anti-Jewish pogroms in Russia, so this is a great insult for the Jewish Avi.

* HoYay: Turkish and Tommy are HeterosexualLifePartners, so they get these jokes in-Universe (such as Tommy repeatedly referred to as Turkish's "girlfriend" or "lady friend".
* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: The movie is very similar in style, theme, setting and characters to Guy Ritchie's earlier ''Film/LockStockAndTwoSmokingBarrels'', so while ''Snatch'' was still more or less well-received, most of the criticism revolved around Ritchie essentially retreading old ground.

-->'''Brick Top:''' You're always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together...Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies' digestion...You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, "as greedy as a pig".

* LoveToHate: Brick Top is a truly horrible human being and yet he's so damn funny and entertaining - when he's not being terrifying, that is.

* HesJustHiding: The popularity of [[spoiler:Tony]], the suddenness of his off-screen death, the fact that no one is shown checking his vital signs, and how he'd survived a lot worse before can inspire this. The same goes for [[spoiler: Boris the Blade]], who is jokingly said to still be alive on account of being [[MadeOfIron shown as utterly unkillable.]]

** "Disco Science" by Music/{{Mirwais}} during the hare coursing scene definitely qualifies for this.

* EvilIsCool: One could argue Bullet Tooth Tony is more of an AntiHero than an outright villain, but he still qualifies due to his suave attitude, being a FountainOfMemes, surviving quite a few instances that would’ve killed anyone else, and infamous “desert eagle point five o’” make him one of the best remembered characters in the film. Boris the Blade also counts for similar reasons.
