The scene we cut
Hatchet Harry
"So I choose my words very carefully. You tell Harry to go f*** himself." JD gives Hatchet Harry's message straight back.
Jason Statham was a street trader selling knock off perfume when Ritchie cast him, and his character Bacon's opening sales patter is what he actually used to say. Vinnie Jones was still a Wimbledon footballer and had never acted before.
