I.D (1995)
 

Scrolling through Netflix the other week,as you do, not knowing if your efforts are going to end futile,and your free time ends up wasted on the pursuit of actually trying to find something to watch,and this little gem popped up. I thought I’d revisit it as had fond memories. But something has been niggling at me, this film states it was released in 1995. Now although I feel old,I’m actually 38 and something does not sit quite right with me. It feels as if this film is far older than 1995. In wondered at first if Netflix had inserted the wrong date of release but after a quick google search I was proved wrong. I’d of guessed after it’s viewing,it was mid 80’s at least. Is it me,or am I missing something, or just being stupid? Was it made much earlier and never been released until 1995? I know the film was set in the 80’s but this film screams old hat as far as BBC production values, and that god awful blue title screen on the opening credits.
Again, is there something I’m missing here? Please put me out of misery. [emoji1787]

This is from IMDB
There is much debate about this issue amongst fans of the film, with many saying they remember it being filmed in 1989, and others swearing that they remember it being filmed in 1994!

There are, however, two pieces of evidence which clarify that the film was definitely filmed in 1994, and released in 1995.

Firstly, the copyright information at the end of the credits read "Copyright Parallax Pictures Ltd/Metropolis Filmproduktion MCMXCIV."

Secondly, during a scene early in the film, the Shadwell film encounter a group of Arsenal fans, several of whom are wearing the Arsenal home jersey from the 1990/1991 season. This shirt would only have gone on sale during the late summer of 1990; so the film could not possibly have been shot prior to 1990, meaning that of the two dates, the IMDb is correct. Presumably the DVD simply contains a misprint.

I watched this the other week (on Netflix) for the first time since the late 90s, hasn’t aged well at all, definitely looks like it was made in the 80s for peanuts :lol:

Deffo the 90's.

A classic soccer thug outing second only to Bex Bissell in Alan Clarke's THE FIRM.

one i will definitely have to rewatch, it's been so long since i saw it

Thanks for the info on that. Glad I wasn’t the only one that thought so. Thought I was going mad. [emoji23] I’ll sleep properly tonight [emoji6]

I think it aged pretty well. By that I mean I enjoyed it just as much as the first time I watched it.

Shadwell Town:lol:

I meant in how it looked, still an enjoyable film :nod:

I always really like this one although I cant say the same for the sequel, even though it does have a couple of returning characters.

Wasn’t aware there was a sequel.

I ****ing love you Gumbo! [emoji1787]

Yeah, ID4

Slightly different in style to the original i thought. Less football hooligans and more Will Smith.

Like the Green St sequels,picked it up,laughed and put it back down.

Where they that bad? only saw the first one and almost came to buying them but something else caught my eye.

Let’s be honest the original Green St was lacking in the first place. [emoji6]

I thought it was ok, not great not terrible

I found Green Street to be hilariously bad, at school all the chavvy folk would obsess over this movie, so when i finally got round to watching it i found it an extremely shallow film and had to laugh.

I'm guessing I'm one of the few that liked it:lol:

for me it seemed to be a glorification of hooliganism and came across as saying it's fine

I'm a dundonian and we have weird taste in stuff :lol:

Not at all dude

Don’t we all ?
if we didn’t we wouldn’t be here,
after all we enjoy films like naked lunch, videorome, and Tokyo gore police.
Other weird films are also available.

Always starts off that way in these types of film but then you get the other side of it which in-fact does the total opposite making it less appealing. As the film goes on it starts showing the negatives of living that kind of life style. In the end,I feel it showed more bad than good. Especially the tragedy’s towards the climax.

Think there's 3 returning characters but the film is very different.

There's a blu-ray release with both films together.
