The Football Factory

Skinhead Billy Bright is probably the most unstable character in the hooligan crew of The Football Factory (which is saying something!). Despite being on the protagonists’ side, he’s hyper-violent, borderline insane and causes much of the conflict in the movie. Especially notable is his exchange of insults with the Turkish leader of another soccer gang — apparently mostly improvised by the actor. (It’s also worth mentioning that the Chelsea Headhunters, the gang the movie follows, is historically one of the most notoriously racist groups of its kind, with links to various white supremacist organizations.)
