Continuity mistake: You see Tom and Bacon et al break into the neighbour's place through a back door; however when it cuts back to them, you can see them entering through the front door.
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Guy Ritchie
Starring: Jason Statham, Vinnie Jones, Jason Flemyng, Dexter Fletcher, Nick Moran
Everyone but Big Chris, Little Chris, the four lads and Winston is shot. Hatchett Harry and Barry the Baptist are both shot by the two crooks that the Baptist hired to steal the guns, and Dog is brutally beaten to death by Big Chris after threatening Little Chris. Some time later the boys are in the bar lamenting the loss of the money when Chris walks in with the bag and gives it back to them. He drives off in an expensive car and the boys find out the bag is empty except for a magazine which shows the real value of the guns, they all try to ring Tom. Tom throws the guns off a bridge, but they don't hit the water, instead they land on a small ledge on the bridge. He puts his phone in his mouth so that he can use one hand to grab the guns and the other hand to hang over the side. While is hanging, his phone rings.

Question: For the card game at Hatchet Harry's: one of the rules is that an open man can't see a blind one. I'm only familiar with "blind" referring to forced bets at certain spots on the table (e.g. the opening antes for Texas Hold 'Em). For this it seems to be a designation of the bet, for example when Harry counters Eddie's 10K, open, with 20K, blind, which is then topped by 20K, open. Could someone explain to me what open/blind means?
Answer: When you play a poker hand blind (I think it's in 5 card draw poker) you bet without looking at your cards and so you don't get the chance to change any cards. The others that are betting against you (the opens) have seen their cards, exchanged as many of their 5 cards as they want but then have to double your bet amount.
Answer: They're playing "3-card Brag." In this game, to play blind, you're not looking at your cards when betting. There are certain advantages to this because you only have to put in half the bet while blind. When the round gets to 2 players remaining, if one person wants to "see" a player's hand, he doubles the previous bet and the hands are revealed with the best hand winning (in the event of a tie, the player "seeing" loses). If a player is "open", meaning he looked at his hand, he can not double the bet and "see" a blind hand, he can only bet or fold. The round continues until the blind hand sees or there is a fold. At any time a person playing blind can look at their hand and then continues playing as an open hand, without the blind advantages.

Answer: First, keep in mind they're not playing poker. It's similar, but there isn't a check/bet/call. They put in money, and you have to match it, then it's back on the other guy to match or raise. If you "see" the last guys bet, you put in double, and the cards are shown. Yes, "blind" means you didn't look, "open" means you did.
