Corrected entry: Several times during the film, Cousin Avi refers to Frankie Four Fingers as "Bubbe" which is a Yiddish term of endearment for "Grandma" and would be inappropriate when addressing a man.

Directed by: Guy Ritchie
Starring: Brad Pitt, Jason Statham, Benicio Del Toro, Vinnie Jones, Dennis Farina, Ewen Bremner, Lennie James, Robbie Gee, Alan Ford
Continuity mistake: When Sol, Vinnie and Tyrone are stopped at the fuel station the dog in the back is wearing a studded collar in one scene and in the next scene where Tyrone crashes the car the dog is wearing a chain collar.
Turkish: We've lost gorgeous George
Brick top: Well where'd you lose him? He ain't a set of fucking car keys is he?
Trivia: Brad Pitt almost turned down the role of Mickey O'Neil in this movie as director Guy Ritchie informed him that he would be playing a boxer, and feared being typecast as he had already played the same role in Fight Club (1999). Pitt took up the role anyway, as he desperately wanted to work with Ritchie.
Question: Why exactly does Brick Top hate Tommy so much? What does he have against him? Is it because Tommy reminds Brick Top of someone from his past who he found annoying and insufferable? Or did Brick Top straight up not like Tommy from the start? I've seen this film many times and I've never been able to figure out why this is the case.
Answer: He doesn't really view Tommy as a man, which is why he kept making cracks about Tommy being a girl. He sees Tommy as a lackey, maybe Turkish's sidekick at best, and so he insults him. Nothing Tommy has to say will mean anything to Brick Top, as Brick Top is dealing with Turkish. So whenever Tommy opens his mouth, Brick Top doesn't want to hear it.

Correction: Yes, the term does mean Grandma. There is also a Yiddish term "Bubele" (not sure of the spelling), which means "baby." Jewish people often shorten that to "bubbe" as a term of endearment, and the way he is using it in this film is exactly how many Jewish people use it in real life.

Maybe not an acceptable comment to this correction, but is this the word Harry Ellis uses in "Die Hard" when talking to Hans?

Funny, I was absolutely going to use that EXACT instance as an example! I decided not to, though, in case some people hadn't seen that movie. But yes, same word and meaning. "Hans, Bubbe, I'm your white knight!" Both Ellis and Avi are using it correctly.
