I don't understand the toilet scene where Craig mistaken Carlton as tom cruise and then later on Tony go *beep* on craig . Anyone care to explain? Great movie btw..

it's a step up scene to show how messed up Craig Rolfe's back history was about him being born in a prision...Tony Tucker used to tell people the story of his birth when people would ask why Craig had a chip on his shoulder...it also serves to show the Hierchary within the group and that Carlton and Craig never got on.

Craig didn't mistake Carlton for Tom Cruise, he was making fun of him.

The portrayal of Craig Rolfe in this film is far from the truth, he is played as a wormy, snivelling little henchman when really he was quite a fearsome, sly, vicious thug, and something like Carlton Leach telling him "you looking to get hurt" would have never happened as Rolfe would most likely have destroyed Leach in real life.

Plus Leach didn't really have a "friendship" with Tucker, they worked as minders to boxer Nigel Benn and that was really about it, Leach wasn't involved in the Essex scene at all really apart from a few shameful visits to a man named Steve Ellis(the man who the welsh guy in this film is based on but in reality he's the biggest cockney going) who Tucker and Rolfe had a problem with.

We got to...This is America man...
