They're such good friends and they know each other well enough that rod was able to see what was going to happen and called Tommy's phone to ask for dorian to get him out the shit, knowing after the conversation they had earlier about Tommy calling his kid dorian he would use this as his fake name.
I remember the first time I watched the football factory when I was a teenager. This scene was tense af. The actual movie I loved so much, watched it numerous times now I’ve completely lost count. I was addicted to it at one point. Used to love kidulthood as well when I was a lad, these are the movies I grew up to.
It pass most people by but Danny Dyer is surely one of the UKs greatest ever thespians. The depth and character he brings to his performances astounds me
What just in case a gang of 5 gang members unknowingly manage to find you after searching all round London for you (but don't know what you look like 🤔) and just decide the person taking a piss next to them might be the person they're looking for?
That moment when the phone rings. Danny was a great counterpoint to Tamer's brooding menace in this scene. As for my dear old pal Dudley, he stole every frame of celluloid he was in. Damm but I don't half miss him. R.I.P Dudley. Our part of the Kings Road just ain't the same anymore.
@@DavidW-ng5zv reading between the lines I’d imagine he probably bragged about it to the girls. When he’s doing the voiceovers he refers arrogantly to himself as things like “Magic Johnson” so he probably mentioned himself in the 3rd person at least ten times when talking to them 😅
Johnson was a gobshite where as Rod is a quieter character so they probably didn't get his name. They are just thuggish morons who throw their weight about, so they won't think with logic and reason, they'll just go after whatever name they have. That's why I think he's the one who they're after.
I think this trick might be one of the old " hand-me " gags that British SAS guys did during WW2. I don't remember the details why... I know how the English had a ton more agents than the USA did, working behind the lines... Maybe they had to cover for each other with a standard fake name?
TheCurtisdavies they didn’t know that as they where in the bar area. Just realised that he was in trouble because the amount of time he was in there and no one had come out
@@bumbleloyal256 Ah I didn't catch that part, thanks. I only got that he uses Dorian as his fake name and then they call to ask for Dorian which I thought was strange, but makes more sense if he expressed interest in naming any of his future kids Dorian prior to the confrontation.
Dumb writing. They didn't even have reason to suspect him - he was a random lad in a toilet in a boozer in LDN. There might be a few other people named "Tommy Johnson" who live in that area. London is a massive city. Just seems like they wanted tension but in a very unlikely scenario.
Yeah Tom took the heat because Fred's brother didn't see rod, obviously he saw Tommy as he was in his face when rod bashed him from behind, so the only face he has to go on was Tommy. Although I assume he got his name from his sister, so why he didn't then ask who it was that hit him with the bat and go after rod as well is a bit of an oversight in the writing.
