Once a cracking career in film and now scraping a living making this shite... Who the f**k plays Carlton in the first ones... Some fecking angry midget who can't fecking act for toffee. Then Terry Turbo's syrup... Please, spare me... Faiirbrass is ok'ish I'll say that much but the rest are a fecking joke.... I watched one and two and felt only pity for the blokes they are supposed to be portraying. Nah, right now, even if fecking Tom Hanks was in it, i'd still give it a wide berth... Those films have gained “so bad they are almost good” status ! Lol I can still never quiet get over how they do that bloke up who plays Tucker ! Lol…..it’s genuinely comedy gold ! Lol And as for Birmingham Bernard being played by Vinnie Jones, I don’t think I could face it ! Lol “He’s a bloke who fixes things” ???……see and hear the bloke in real life and you’d suspect he couldn’t fix himself a bit of toast in the morning ! Lol I remember all those doormen from that club in those days and they was all horrible bully c**ts ! As I have said before, I met Tate and Tucker very briefly once and they was alright but people actually in the know say that could have gone either way……I never had f**k all to do with those type of people around there in them days anyway so how they actually was wouldn’t have mattered to me. The only thing they capture well in those films is the hedonism of that time in that area, it’s pretty bloody accurate to be fair. 3 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tony Tucker is played by Terry Stone or 'Terry Turbo' the DJ and (you will probs know better than me) was around that scene at the time. As you say mate, the state of him, comedy gold...

gnasher16 29,649 Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) Like most series of films the first of those Footsoldiers films i thought was pretty good.....the second one was diabolical and if i could be bolloxed to watch them id imagine the rest get steadily worse. Carlton Leach is 5 ft 7 or 8 tops and has the correct surname,as is Bernard whatever his name is. Edited September 10, 2021 by gnasher16 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Billy b 724 Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 Its almost comical how they are still milking that story,and reckon they wanna make more films Should have stopped at the first one 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 Got to admire the makeup in the Footsoldier films though. Take a 50 year old man, stick a syrup on him and hey presto he looks late 20s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MH1 1,805 Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 When I was working on the doors about 10 or so years ago, I turned up for work and unbeknown to me the club was having "An evening with Carlton Leach" event. What a pathetic few hours that was, a load of grown men paying for a Q&A with him 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

THE STIFFMEISTER 14,558 Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 I like to think that the actors are kinda imbued into the roles so much that they go round like that 24 / 7 “Listen you little sy , we’re putting the firm back together for annuva two films ! “ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 29,649 Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 The thing i find most hilarious about people like that is the attempted reverse psychology that even a 10 year old wouldnt fall for. Start off pretending to be a serious person.....get rumbled as a joke........so then pretend you was only pretending to be a serious person all along .......what a toby ! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
