A TV SequelSeries was [[https://www.whats-on-netflix.com/news/guy-ritchies-the-gentlemen-netflix-series-what-we-know-so-far-11-2023/ released on Netflix]] on March 7th, 2024.

* AttemptedRape: Dry Eye attempts this on Rosalind after she uses her only two bullets to take out his henchmen. [[spoiler:[[OhCrap Then Mickey walks in and catches him in the act.]] Cue BoomHeadshot.]]

* HateSink: [[RuthlessForeignGangsters Dry Eye]] is an enforcer in [[TheTriadsAndTheTongs the Chinese mob]]. Introduced receiving [[HumanTraffickers humans to potentially traffic]] for Lord George, Dry Eye gives a veiled threat to the seller when he does not have the money to pay him. The crime syndicate Dry Eye works for distributes heroin, which leads to the fatal overdosing of the teenager Laura Pressfield (and is explicitly stated by Mickey to much deadlier and more destructive than his own marijuana). Dry Eye helps Matthew Berger to try to undermine Mickey Pearson's own cannabis business for a lower price, but threatens him when he decides he wants it only for himself instead. Dry Eye then [[TheStarscream has Lord George killed]] when he confronts him about his betrayal and then later threatens and [[AttemptedRape attempts to rape Mickey's wife Rosalind]] when she fights back. Despite mob violence from others as well, Dry Eye is the coldest and most uncaring by comparison, and is also a DirtyCoward to boot.

* LittleUselessGun: Matthew gives Mickey a [[BlingBlingBang gold-plated derringer]] as a peace offering, of a caliber so small the bullets look like tic tacs. Mickey gives it to his wife Ros. When Ros eventually pulls it on Dry Eye when he invades her office, he is incredulous that it is even a gun. [[spoiler:Ros demonstrates how effective it can be at point blank range by killing his two bodyguards with single-shot through each of their foreheads. Unfortunately for her, it only has two shots]].

* MisplacedRetribution: [[spoiler:Matthew's]] second punishment at the end is in retaliation for the assault on Mickey's wife, something that (while the instigator of the conflict) [[spoiler:Matthew]] had no direct involvement with or way to predict.

* AmbiguousDisorder: Raymond. According to Charlie Hunnam, he and Guy Ritchie agreed he has a disorder like OCD, but neither gave a specific diagnosis.

* PoliceAreUseless: So useless, in fact, that they're completely absent from the entire film. In all the various characters' criminal dealings (many of them committed in broad daylight in fairly busy areas), at no point does anyone even mention having to evade, bribe or threaten the police, implying they're a total non-factor. The only exception is [[spoiler:Matthew stating that the police will eventually act on the YouTube video showing one of Mickey's farms - though even here he's only doing it to drive the price down, and it's possible that Mickey doesn't disagree only because of the way he's planning to turn the tables on Matthew himself.]]

* DoubleStandardRapeMaleOnMale: [[spoiler:Big Dave being drugged and raped by a pig is portrayed humorously while Rosalind's attempted rape is portrayed seriously.]]

* TheCavalry: [[spoiler:Mickey is abducted by a pair of Russians gangsters pulling a NotMyDriver. As they are about to to shoot, a van swerves in front of the car. The back door opens and the Toddlers open up with automatic weapons, killing the Russians. An earlier conversation with Coach had made it sound as if they were planning to ''kill'' Mickey.]]

** Big Dave wants to destroy Mickey for snubbing him at the party and humiliating him in front of the privileged people and attempts to sink his reputation by hiring Fletcher.

* GreedyJew: Matthew Berger. [[spoiler:So greedy, in fact, that he tips off the location of one of Mickey's weed farms to Dry Eye just so Dry Eye can raid it and Berger will then be justified in demanding a much lower offer for the whole enterprise. Ironically, should he just pick the first offer, he would easily make a pretty penny on it without a hitch. Instead, he ends up 270 million dollars and ''[[Theatre/TheMerchantOfVenice a literal pound of his flesh]]'' short, gaining nothing.]]

** Dry Eye doesn't make the smartest decisions throughout the movie, (disrespectfully pressuring Mickey, Lord George and [[spoiler: Matthew, in a betrayal of their previous agreement]], into stepping aside and letting him take over, despite having no accomplishments under his belt that should make people at their level take him seriously) but his crowning achievement [[spoiler:that leads to his death]] is [[spoiler:''trying to rape Mickey's wife'', right there in her office, after his backup thugs are already dead, when he doesn't know where Mickey or his henchmen were at the time (and is assuming Mickey is alive and kicking since he was planning on using Ros as a hostage), but clearly heard Ros name him on the phone]]. For no particular reason other than being a cunt.

** [[spoiler:Big Dave is quickly taken out of the picture by Raymond ordering the Toddlers to drug him and film him committing Beastiality with a pig to make him go away.]]

-->'''Ernie''': Me being black has got nothing to do with me being a cunt!

* NightmareFetishist: Part of what makes Fletcher so creepy; he mentions he might even like being subjected to ColdBloodedTorture, hell, [[ADateWithRosiePalms he might even get off to it]].

* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: [[spoiler:Being cornered by Dry Eye and his two goons, but only having two bullets, Ros shoots the goons, [[DecapitatedArmy rather than their boss]].]] Considering they have absolutely nothing to gain on [[spoiler:attacking or kidnapping Rosalind]] once he's gone, the choice of targets is purely for the plot to happen.

* GratuitousRape: [[spoiler: Dry Eye's attempted rape of Rosalind has no particular build-up, and mostly serves to heighten the dramatic tension between him and Mickey (and afterward, Mickey and Matthew), even though Dry Eye kidnapping Rosalind as planned would be reason enough for Mickey to put a bullet in his head. What makes it especially stupid on Dry Eye's part is that he wastes time doing the deed in Rosalind's office when he should be escorting her to a secure location from which he can safely negotiate with Mickey later. As a result, Mickey has a window of opportunity to come to the rescue.]]
