Soul Crew Movie ?

Wed Aug 31, 2011 1:32 am

I remember a while back hearing there was a hooligan film coming out about the Soul Crew! Anyone know why it didn't go ahead to be made or will it be made some day?

Old hat those films now. I still watch the ones I've got from time to time but the fashion for these films has passed

Green Street 2 was so horrifically bad I think it just killed the whole genre stone dead

I thought that was good. Having lived through the times and followed the fashions, it was pretty spot on I thought (apart from Bex wearing the whole tracksuit all the time). Attention to detail was pretty good as I even saw a Best Company ski-jacket in one of the scenes and I spent £150 on one back in 1985 when I was 16, which was a fortune at the time. The dates are slightly out though. Planning for aggro at a tournament England wouldn't qualify for for another 3 or 4 years after the film was set was a bit of an oversight

yeah agree with fashion and other details, but the trip to pompey in the league, different divisions, and like you said the england trip etc...

plus bex looked a knob in the red fila tracksuit... (pillerbox). still think that id was one of the best, followed by rise of the foot soldier..

Didn't like ID myself. I think it was the fire breathing in the pub that did it for me!! I think probably Football Factory and Cass came closest in accuracy to getting it right

Re: Soul Crew Movie ?

cass story was really good... i also liked football factory but the danny dyer dream bit got on my nerves!

Re: Soul Crew Movie ?

Yeah, the dream was a bit poncey. But I had the same coat he was wearing when it happened, a nice little Henri Lloyd yachting number :lol:

green street 2 - well that's time I won't get back!! :D

Didn't mind the new Firm, thought ID was pants and the dreaming from football factory was also a bit lame.

Nick Loves attention to detail is spot-on to be fair. I watched the extras on The Business DVD and his knowledge of fashion / music of the genre is borcdering on the obsessive.

I thought the scene where it went off at Pompety in The Firm re-make was pretty spot-on as well.

Not sure his attentiopn to detail is as good as he likes to think it is, especially with dates or timelines. All a bit hazy at times. As well as The Firm when they were in about 1984 (if the fashions are anything to go by), they were talking about the 1988 European Championships. But that fashion had long died out by the time 1988 came around. I asked him about this in Zinc Bar after the Premiere and he reckoned they made no direct reference to it but I was unconvinced by him. In The Business, all they wear is Fila, Tacchini and ellesse, but it seems that a few years went by in the film and the fashions didn't stick around as long as the film seemed to think they did. Also, I had a few of the Fila shirts when I was a young casual and he slapped a few 'bj' patches on them and, when I had them, they definitely weren't back then

Nick Loves film was based on the 1984 championshops not the 1988 one?

England never made it to the 1984 championships. And in the film, they were talking about going to Germany to face the Dutch and Germans

They were making the arrangments before they didnt qualify.

Thats neither here nor there anyway, the film isnt about the England team its about the casual scene.

Green Street 2 really shouldn't be classed as a 'hooligan film'. It's pretty much to football version of Longest Yard.
