Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDanny played for England. In real life despite being born in England, Vinnie Jones chose to play for Wales, qualifying through his Welsh grandfather.
- GoofsAfter the fight in the canteen Danny was dragged away by the guards, seen wearing laceless shoes. But in solitary he is seen wearing sneakers with laces, something that would not be approved in such a place.
- Quotes
[Watching the monk practice karate]
Doc: Apparently he killed 23 men with his bare hands.
Danny Meehan: Maybe I should take up karate.
Doc: That was before he took up karate.
- Alternate versionsIn the US version some phrases and terms were changed to make the film more understandable for American audiences. For example, when Doc is talking to Danny about why he is in jail, the original dialogue "his little nipper and his bird" are looped with "his little baby and his girl". Additionally in the US version, Nitro has a softer, Liverpool accent, whereas in the original version, he has a Newcastle accent.

Featured review
I can't believe people didn't like this movie, well at first I couldn't get into it, it wasn't capturing my attention, but then after watching it a few times, i loved it.
I have been reading reviews about the movie Mean machine. People are Saying it is not very good nor funny. What? This movie is hesterical .The second half of the movie when they are playing the game is very funny. You have to watch it a few times to really start liking it. The dialogue and the facial expressions have just been cracking us up. The two game announcers are the best part of the movie-have you noticed both their names are BOB (BOB CARTER AND BOB LIKELY)- we counted how many times these guys say " bob" to each other - it's something like 40 times in the soccer game . funny!!!!!
You gotta love the MONK!!!!!!!
I can't believe people didn't like this movie, well at first I couldn't get into it, it wasn't capturing my attention, but then after watching it a few times, i loved it. Look out for the characters - the Monk, The 2 game announcers, they make the movie very funny and entertaining.All of the characters were very amusing. Rent these other movies and then watch Mean Machine again and maybe you will appreciate it more. Rent: Snatch Lock, stoke and 2 smoking barrels. The 3 movies have a lot of the same actors in it and they are quite entertaining Watch it again, give it a chance, it is one of mine and my boyfriends favorite movies right now.
