Short description
The Limey follows Wilson, a tough English ex-con who travels to Los Angeles to avenge his daughter's death. Upon arrival, Wilson goes to task battling Valentine and an army of L.A.'s toughest criminals, hoping to find clues and piece together what happened. After surviving a near-death beating, getting thrown from a building and being chased down a dangerous mountain road, the Englishman decides to dole out some bodily harm of his own.
What's left behind the scenes
- The Englishman listens to the song 'The Seeker' by The Who. In the 1960s, Chris Stamp, Terence Stamp's brother, was one of the band's managers.
- Originally, Soderbergh wanted Michael Caine to play the lead role.
- The flashback scenes with young Wilson were taken from Ken Loach's directorial debut, 'Poor Cow' (1967), in which Terence Stamp also played a thief named Dave. In Soderbergh's film, we don't know Wilson's name, but he was also called Dave in the script.
- Ed, the Englishman's assistant, wears shirts with images of famous political figures throughout the film. First it's Ayatollah Khomeini, then Che Guevara, and then Mao Zedong.
- Filming began on October 1, 1998.
- Soderbergh initially wanted Michael Caine to play the lead role.
- Ann-Margret was to play Valentine's ex-wife, but Soderbergh removed the scenes with her participation.
