Wouldn't the IRA also garotte you without a second thought if you called
them gangsters?

I always got a kick out of how Bob Hoskins played the boss here (and was
sampled for a song by Big Audio Dynamite--"Together we stand, divided
we're nothin'") and played a flunky in Mona Lisa to Michael Caine's
boss. Michael Caine, of course, was superb in another great Brit
gangster film, Get Carter (and was also sampled by BAD--"I don't think
I'm going to let you stay in the film business").
