Re: Twin Town

Wondering how the film fans on here rate Twin Town? Maybe you never saw it.
I attended the funeral of the guy who co-wrote it yesterday. Most of the jokes in the film were down to Paul, I might be biased but I thought they were the film's best attributes. I always thought the storyline was a bit of a mess. As it's been 25 years since its release I might rewatch this weekend to see how well it stands up. Nice that Cardiff City get a mention in it too.

Is the car thief from port talbot a Cardiff fan ?

Re: Twin Town

Still haven't seen it. Taking it back to our rivalry. How would it compare to Human Traffic?

Bit different to human traffic, the twins are a couple of thieves into doing drugs. Well worth a watch.

Re: Twin Town

Never quite got around to watching it.

Probably not my cup of tea but if it is on Prime or the I player I may give it a go.

Entire film is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBbyQ8vr6lg and below this message.

Great fun for the first 60%-70% then completely loses its way by becoming a moribund snooze-fest.

Whereas in human traffic everyone's off it

Re: Twin Town

It's a decent film. I'm not sure if I'd like it as much if it was set somewhere in England. I've seen it a few times and I think I'd watch it again if I came across it.

I didn't like Human Traffic. It was too derrivative and of its time. I'm not sure I even made it through the whole film.

Re: Twin Town

Great movie, some of the script and comedy was genius. I lived with a couple of Aussies and kiwis when travelling back in 2001 and it was their favourite movie, always had it on after a few beers.

I honestly can't recall the car thief from PT? There were a few of ours on the extras payroll though

It absolutely bombed at the box office but was a massive DVD hit. One of those cult things I suppose. I know that my friend decided to take an upfront payment for his services and was initially glad. I think he ended up losing out big time but he wasn't the type of person to be bothered by money.

I watched it when it came out, and then again about 4 or 5 years ago. Enjoyed it the first time, the second time was more of a struggle!

(Btw Did you get tickets for the Hamburg derby in the end?)

No mate, life events got in the way unfortunately. Your advice was much appreciated though, I didn't see your private message for a while sorry. I'll get over there in the next few years.
