Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels (1998) is a British crime comedy film directed by Guy Ritchie, which became a cult classic due to its sharp wit, distinctive style, and intricate plot. The film follows the misadventures of four friends—Eddie, Tom, Soap, and Bacon—who find themselves deeply in debt after a rigged card game with a notorious gangster. Desperate to recoup their losses, they plan a heist targeting a group of small-time criminals, leading to a chaotic chain of events involving double-crosses, shootouts, and a pair of antique shotguns. The movie is celebrated for its fast-paced editing, snappy dialogue, and a cast of colorful characters, establishing Ritchie’s signature style in the crime genre.

The soundtrack of Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels is as iconic as the film itself, blending an eclectic mix of rock, funk, and classic tracks that perfectly capture the movie's gritty yet playful tone. Featuring artists like James Brown, The Stooges, and Dusty Springfield, the soundtrack enhances the film’s energy and atmosphere, with tracks like "The Payback" and "Fools Gold" setting the tone for pivotal scenes. The music not only complements the film's stylish visual aesthetic but also helps to drive its narrative, making the soundtrack an essential component of the movie's enduring appeal.
