Gobshite
Yes, there really is a movie called this! Set in Skerries, Dublin it's about English gangsters taking over a pub. One of the many Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels copies this one has lots of gangsters trying to be funny, shocking violence, plot twists, and uncomfortable scenes. Kind of like Perrier's Bounty but without the hype and IFTA nominations! Of course the accents are all over the place, the funny scenes fall flat but it's an interesting straight-to-DVD effort. The kind of movie you would never hear about - unless you read The Sunday World!
