Short description
When a seemingly straight-forward drug deal goes awry, XXXX has to break his die-hard rules and turn up the heat, not only to outwit the old regime and come out on top, but to save his own skin...
What's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on J.J. Connolly's novel "Layer Cake" (2000).
- The word "fuck" and its derivatives are uttered 201 times in the film.
- The preliminary script was 408 pages long, while the book it was based on was 344 pages long (the page format is not specified).
- The warehouse where the protagonist met Eddie Temple (Michael Gambon) (closer to the end of the film) is the largest warehouse of its kind in all of Britain. It was almost empty, and most of the boxes were “drawn in” on a computer.
- Originally, Sony Pictures intended for the film to end with the protagonist (Mr.XXXX) riding off into the sunset alive and well with his girlfriend. However, Matthew Vaughn shot an alternative ending, which ultimately made it into the film.
- The wax head of Jamie Foreman, presented to us in a severed state, is the same head that was used in the film “Elizabeth” (1998), where Foreman’s character also lost his head.
- In the final scene, Sydney shoots Mr. XXXX as he stands looking back over his right shoulder (left shoulder forward). At the same time, Tammi reacts to the shot by looking straight ahead. And a few frames later, we see Sydney approaching the man lying in front of him. From this position, Sydney could not have hit the chest of a person turned to the right; he should have been to the right of Mr. XXXX, and therefore should have approached from the right side after the shot.
- The film is based on J.J. Connolly's novel 'Layer Cake' (2000).
