Part 3/8:
Written in just a few months, the script for Snatch drew inspiration from real-life London gangsters and classic heist movies. The complex plot intertwines the theft of an 84-carat diamond with the world of unlicensed boxing. Ritchie's signature style shined through, featuring vibrant dialogue and an intricate plot that kept audiences guessing.
Casting became one of the film's standout features. Ritchie collaborated with familiar faces from his earlier work, such as Jason Statham, Vinnie Jones, and Alan Ford, while also enlisting major Hollywood talent like Brad Pitt. Pitt's comedic portrayal of an Irish Gypsy boxer was a stroke of genius, transforming his initially challenging accent into a memorable trait of the character.
