A high-octane kinetic frenzy of Cockney underworld chaos, where desperate greed collides with the slapstick cruelty of fate. A jagged diamond glints through the thick smoke of a London boxing ring.

Snatch - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details
Easter Eggs
Reservoir Dogs Homage
The opening scene features thieves in a car discussing the Virgin Mary, a direct nod to the 'Like a Virgin' discussion in Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs.
The 'Psycho' Reference
Mickey's insistence on 'periwinkle blue' for his mother's caravan is a reference to Psycho, where Norman Bates chooses a periwinkle blue dress for his mother.
Madonna's 'Lucky Star'
The song is played in the background during a scene involving Bullet-Tooth Tony; Ritchie married Madonna shortly after the film's release.
Shared Surname
Cousin Avi's real name is Abraham Denovitz, and Doug the Head's surname is also Denovitz, subtly implying they are actually related.
