Guy Ritchie is a British film director, screenwriter, and producer. The famous director did not make many films, but many of them became iconic, and the actors who first appeared in them enjoyed rapid professional growth. Guy Ritchie is best known for his films "Cards, money, two barrels", "Big Jackpot", "Revolver", "Rock'n'roller".
Mickey O'Neal, Brad Pitt's character in the movie "The Big Jackpot," holds two duels, participating in illegal fights. A detail that not everyone can notice: for the first time, Mickey fights in boxing gloves and knocks out his opponent with the first punch, and "Mr. O'Neill" comes out to the final fight only in a tape on his fists, just like his opponent.
There are more professional sports in the fighting scenes in Guy Ritchie's film than it might seem. One of the facecontrol officers at the entrance to the match is played by England defender Sol Campbell. Mickey O'Neill is seconded by Jason Statham, a former member of the British diving team. And Brad Pitt's opponent in the final scene is professional boxer Scott Welsh, who just finished his real career with a 22-4 record (188 cm, 104 kg, fought for the WBO title and boxed on the undercard of the Tyson vs Holyfield fight).
