Corrected entry: When Shand is told that Eric is dead, he says "You'd need a million dollar computer to understand this!" What sort of East London gangster expresses himself in dollars?
The Long Good Friday (1980)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: John Mackenzie
Starring: Helen Mirren, Bob Hoskins, Paul Freeman, Kevin McNally, Dave King, Bryan Marshall, Leo Dolan, Patti Love
Visible crew/equipment: When Harold has killed Jeff and is being put in his Jag when the passenger door is opened a boom mic and its operator are visible.
Pool Attendant: They kept it all incognito. They're gonna collect the body in an ice cream van.
Harold: There's a lot of dignity in that, isn't there? Going out like a raspberry ripple.
Trivia: A sequel to The Long Good Friday was written by screenwriter Barry Keeffe. Entitled The Black Easter Monday, the action starts immediately after that of The Long Good Friday when the car carrying Shand is stopped by police. Both Shand and the IRA gunman (played by Pierce Brosnan in one of his first film roles) bluff their way out of it and walk away, allowing Shand to escape. The screenplay was universally acclaimed but by the time it got through development hell Brosnan, Bob Hoskins and Helen Mirren had all become big stars. They could not commit to the project and their salary demands could not be accommodated anyway. The film was never made.
Correction: One who has just returned from the United States. One who is involved in negotiations of loans worth millions of dollars. One who has travelled and doesn't exclusively use local dialect. An intelligent, educated one who knows that saying something looks 'a million dollars' is a compliment. So, Shand, in fact.
