RISE OF THE FOOTSOLDIER - FRANK HARPER: LEGEND

[TheStaffy75]

dave courtney did it with his peashooter

[fenriz218]

First time I saw him was in Football Factory - perhaps he's no Lawrence Olivier or Anthony Hopkins but he's definitly got character and pretty much takes over the scene in any movie he's in.

One of my favorite scenes in RotF was after the final shooting, when Frank sits behind the driver, having this strange exstatic expression - he looked like the angel of death himself!

[Daized2009]

Knob? shut up. Still a dumb cunt then, when will you learn. 'another wanabee Youtube Gangster'. Now go to bed, mummys callin.

[Daized2009]

Knew some of these people, there was a massive drop in pills when they got shot up. That's life for ya.

[Axle3006]

now u listen to me u low life jobsworth cunt...

[MICKYMANNOCKGANGSTER]

You watch whot you fuckin say on fuckin here about me you fuckin cant i'll kill ya you fuckin little mug . Blast your head off i will. Cunt. . Now then where was i.?

[STGEORGESDAYFILMPLC]

He's got a new film out next year for the world cup. ST GEORGE'S DAY. The guy is a legend . BURTBOW OF IDMPRODUCTIONSTEAM

[Geemonster69]

@Arnold Schwarzenegarr75

They didn't need to check for a pulse,the shotgun made one hell of a mess of them,there was blood all over the interior.  There was no doubt they were dead.

[Terminator860]

How could you tell they were dead just by looking through the glass? The farmer said they just looked like they were sleeping.

[thebritish25]

@Terminator860 Well there whould have been blood and brain matter splatered all over the car.

one of the victims was missing his jaw so I dout he whould have been sleeping.

and most of the glass whould have been smashed while the car whould have been filled with the holes of the pellets.

[Terminator860]

@thebritish25 Just one window was smashed and the farmers didn't notice it. Tuckers head was resting in such a way you couldn't see that his face had collapsed. There was blood and tissue on the glass but no bits of brain thats a complete exagerration. Look on documenting reality com and type in shotgun blast to face. The guys entire face is missing it's just a giant hole yet he's still concious and screaming.

[thebritish25]

@Terminator860 well it is imposible to take a shotgun shell to the head throught the temple with out the Brain implod/Exploding.

But my point is that if you looked from a distance yes it whould be hard to tell but if you looked in the window you could tell that something was wrong.

[Geemonster69]

He was good in Lock Stock too.

[Freshhhhh1982]

I always root for his characters for some reason.

[olly234]

omfg wtf is that at 1:58 looks like sumtin always past in the background

[FiyahArmz36]

i seen that 2 lol

[martswine]

look at 1.57 looks like a ghost over his left shoulder!!

[campkillyourself33]

rhys21kipling u think ur big man on the internet?? grow up and fuck off.

[qwertyberty18]

why hes just saying what it is, i think you should grow up if you thinks its a ghost, stupid cunt

[DimpleCheeks1982]

Frank's the man!!!! Always has been! x

[mikefranky]

awsome film from start to finish!!

[ihateyoutoob123]

Um yeah. Thats a bit odd.

[andydawson69]

so how come it vanishes then and its transparent look carefully

[campkillyourself33]

a ghost?????? no mate its wearing a hat and a coat so im guessing its a crew member...

[rhys21kipling]

you cant call that a "crew member" you stupid cunt

[andydawson69]

does anyone notice the outline of a figure walking behind franks left shoulder at about 157 it comes from the left and goes behind him looks like a ghost anyone explain

[Terminator860]

It's one of the camera men mate lol. Well spotted though.

[rhys21kipling]

its called light

[innnes9]

watch the left ov the screen at 1 57

[pikeys]

i can smell hashish lol u bananna

[thegse4eva]

they were both in football factory

[mrnailz360]

I feel so special my dad named me after Jack Whomes

[Sp1tf1r3p1l0t]

Frank Harper is a great actor and in every film I've seen him in, he in his own way makes the film what it is

[ArnoldSwarzeneggar75]

What i find strange is the fact that they pronounced the trio dead without even opening the car doors to check for a pulse. Why is that?

[rosaschaefers]

well thats cuz they were killed with a shotgun, and their heads were

[rosaschaefers]

(sry i had a lag..)

well their heads were blasted away, so it wasn't nessesary to feel any pulse

[ArnoldSwarzeneggar75]

no not really there heads were still there pat tates was in perfect condition apart from the hole in his brain lol

[icfjohn08]

oi paki boy cotsurf, u wud get killed by any man one on one, u probly stand back wen trouble starts then try to take credit 4 it afterwards, u fuckin little faggot!!!!

[im2jaded04]

harper i love ya!!!!

[cotsurf]

It's only middle class directors that think he's hard. If that walrus nonce came waddling down my manor, my firm would piss rings round him. And yeah, I'd say it RIGHT to his face. Basically, on any fucking day of the week, though preferably Saturday.

I've seen a couple of those actors from "Football Factory" at Stamford Bridge (not him though), and we all fucking laugh at the cunts. Him? In a short sentence, he's all mouth and big waistband trousers, the lardy old cunt.

[PABBY75]

You sound like a right cunt. He's an actor and wouldn't give a fuck about your wanky firm. You're just another balding middle aged racist hooligan who's opinion nobody gives a fuck about.

[cotsurf]

You're right, he probably wouldn't give a flying fuck about my crew. But if you don't care about my opinion, why are you leaving a reply? Incidentally, I'm younger than you, dickwad. And I'm half Thai and half West Indian, so where you get that "racist" thing from is totally beyond me. Not all football fans are white.

[PABBY75]

cotsurf, how do you know how old I am? And if you are a young person, then learn some respect for your elders. Also, there's a difference between football fans and hooligans - real fans don't have shit, out of date 80's style firms and don't need to fight(pathetically I might add - never seen a hooligan throw a decent punch). Dickwad? Are you wannabe American or something. U sure u r young? Dickwad went out in '92. Mug.

[cotsurf]

Er.. well I guess the bit on your profile where it says that you're 32 kind of gave the game away. Unless you go around lying about your age, which would be worrying. As for respect, however old you are, you've got to earn that.

And if you think that firms don't exist anymore, and have never seen "a hooligan throw a decent punch", you just need to get out more.

As for the expression "Dickwad", I revived it - brought it back from the dead. Just for you. Now who's the mug?

[ArnoldSwarzeneggar75]

32 is hardly old is it lol?

[getthywodzowt4suth]

paki

[ArnoldSwarzeneggar75]

I don't think anyone has ever thought Frank was hard. He's just a good, overweight actor.

[getthywodzowt4suth]

frank harper iz a fukkin legend u soppy little cunt

[stevefoydickinson]

Frank harper is playing a part , as all actors do , the clue is in the title - ACTOR !! - Yes firms do still exist , though most , including chelsea , are a damn sight more clued up than you , Stop giving it large , as we all know , as would you if you were any sort of fella , the ones who give it mouth generally have fuck all to back it up with .

[craigmontini]

well said at the end there.

[stevefoydickinson]

Thank you , just cant stand clueless fucking wannabes spouting shit about a subject they clearly know nothing about , apart from what they have seen on over the top americanised fucking fairy tales like that pile of rancid dog shit Green St . Thank you for your comment , at least one person on here seems to know wot is wot - cheers mate .

[craigmontini]

haha, i have green st, like it, but you gotta take it for what it is, very americanised and elija wood for fuck sake, haha. its good but id never take it seriously.

rise of the footsoldier is just in another league.

[stevefoydickinson]

Yeah i know what you mean - just on here , you get littlle fucking boys who hide behind screen name watch shit like green st and get their mummys to buy them a stone island top and think they are some sort of top boy . Just annoys me , but yeah you have to take bollocks like that for what it is . Whats your opinion on Football Factory ( i love that film ) generally love anything with Nick Love behind the camera and Danny Dyer on screen with the Harper .

[craigmontini]

yeah, love football factory, but without danny dyer and harper, i dont think it would be such a cool film, mayber a good story but its these 2 guys that make it. dyer is brilliant.

"Tommy johnson, lots his touch?, Bollocks" haha its great.

[juicyjim69]

could'nt agree more, without dyer' and harper football factory ain't shit.....just like the business was a good mix of tamer and dyer

[Amiliastar]

he is shit thats not how jack is

[ArnoldSwarzeneggar75]

He is definately shit as Jack Wholmes. The real Wholmes had about 2 brain cells when he commited the crime as a 'favour' to Mick! The geezer could'nt even write he was like the honey monster!

[PABBY75]

Stop slagging off Frank harper. he's cool. You're not.

[BilstonOi]

Harper is one of those typical bullish British actors like Ray Winstone or Bob Hoskins, he's really adept at playin the hard nut. Good actor I gotta lot of respect for him an all.

[Njzizskmp]

@BilstonOi Bob Hoskins and Frank Harper are the best British actors alive

[Daized2009]

@Njzizskmp

Harper is a fuckin legend ;) Hoskins too, gotta love Frank tho.

[topbluffa1]

@BilstonOi

he works at the college i used to go to i remember walking past him when he was on his phone was really random because i didnt know he worked there.

btw hes in a new film called SCREWED but i cant find it online yet but its out in cinema.

[rossee78]

frank harper is a top fuckin' actor....stop hatin .!!

[chipsandpie08]

Ha ha! Billy Murray looks guilty at the mention of hash. Just priceless the look on his face, either he's had a toke or someone close by him exhaling.

[uzzy2k5]

Hes a fuckin legend you silly young cunts. In the scene when he shoots all the fuckers in the rover, he looks psychotic. legend.

[debbietingey]

NO Frank Harper is fucking BURGER KING

[ArnoldOlympia1]

I don't like Harper he has got a really irritating way about him. He's just a fat annoying cunt to me who needs to get down the gym.

[PABBY75]

Why don't you say that to his face? wanker

[Andy1245711]

Oi it's me Andy on my other screenie! Just watching him in Lock Stock was enough to piss me off about him. He's a cocky sod. Opinions are allowed and i would say it to him he's hardly he man!

[PABBY75]

Opinions, yes. But calling him a fat cunt just shows no politeness or self control on your part. It's just rude and irritating. You whinge a fuck of a lot (which is your right) but if you call him a cunt I can call you a wanker.

[SusannaG74]

frank harper is king!

[Andy1245711]

Why is the tailgate open? Is that to allow more light in or sommat?

[PABBY75]

It's to do with zoom lens/long lens photography. The camera can be WAY back on a zoom and get the photographic shallow depth of field required - same principle as taking walls out of sets to get the camera further back. Once zoomed in, you the viewer won't notice the boot is open. And in any shots showing the boot, it won't be.

[SuchACunt]

true legend

[PABBY75]

Agreed - Harper is pure class, wether in this is England, Lock, Stock or footsoldier - just the coolest.

[Andy1245711]

Frank Harper never changes.

[London1245711]

Wrong again. Jack never opened Tonys door to shoot him. Tony was blasted 3 times from the offside rear door.

[PABBY75]

No he wasn't - you need to read more than one version of events - you were NOT there.

[Andy1245711]

How do you explain the fact that all the wounds to his head were inflicted on the right side then? Give me strength.
