* ClusterFBomb: His films are known for being ''very'' profane and having lots of bad language.


Added DiffLines:

* DeadpanSnarker: This is the usual style of humor in his films, particularly when he's working with Creator/JasonStatham. If characters aren't pummelling each other with their fists, they'll be [[SnarkToSnarkCombat battling with barbed comments.]] Or possibly a combination of the two.

* CreatorKiller: The back-to-back failures of ''Film/SweptAway'' and ''Film/Revolver2005'' came very close to tanking his career, though fortunately he was able to recover thanks to ''Film/{{RockNRolla}}'' and the ''Film/SherlockHolmes'' films.

* PlayingAgainstType:
** His [[Film/SherlockHolmes2009 first]] [[Film/SherlockHolmesAGameOfShadows two]] ''Franchise/SherlockHolmes'' films, which delved into the MysteryFiction and {{Steampunk}} genres. [[DownplayedTrope Although]], they are also shot in his [[{{Overcrank}} signature]] [[OnceMoreWithClarity style]].
** Another pair of {{Downplayed}} examples with ''Film/TheManFromUNCLE2015'' and ''Film/KingArthurLegendOfTheSword''. While delving into the SpyFiction and SwordAndSorcery genres, respectively, they are both shot in his signature style much like his ''Sherlock Holmes'' films.
** Played straight with ''Film/Aladdin2019'', a PG-rated Creator/{{Disney}} romantic musical fantasy that just also happens to be a [[Film/DisneyLiveActionRemakes live-action remake]] of [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} the 1992 animated film of the same name]]. Interestingly enough, it proved to be his biggest commercial success.
** Also played straight with romantic comedy ''Film/SweptAway'', though unlike ''Aladdin'', it became his biggest failure both critically and commercially.



** Creator/MatthewVaughn produced Ritchie's first three films, while producer Lionel Wigram worked on the two ''Franchise/SherlockHolmes'' films, ''Film/TheManFromUNCLE2015'' and ''Film/KingArthurLegendOfTheSword'' (as well as co-writing the latter two films and the story of the first ''Holmes'' film), and Ivan Atkinson (who was Ritchie's assistant on ''Film/SherlockHolmesAGameOfShadows'' and ''[[Film/TheManFromUNCLE2015 The Man From UNCLE]]'') has served as Ritchie's primary producer and co-writer starting with ''The Gentlemen''.

** In ''Film/LockStockAndTwoSmokingBarrels'', Harry has Big Chris and Barry the Baptist at his disposal (but Harry's not above getting physical himself, even if the only weapon available is a 15-inch black rubber sex toy)
** ''{{Film/Snatch}}'' features this quite a lot; Bricktop has his thugs (most prominently John and Errol), Turkish and Tommy used Gorgeous George for that purpose, Doug The Head hires Bullet-Tooth Tony both for this and for his abilities to find someone, and Avi has Rosebud.
