Double bill of British dramas about football violence and
hooliganism. 'The Football Factory' (2004) is based on the novel by
John King. Tommy Johnson (Danny Dyer) is a bright but bored
30-year-old with a steady job and close-knit family who lives for
the weekend life of casual sex, lager, drugs - and violence.
Through him we meet three other males in his world: Billy Bright
(Frank Harper), a right-wing fascist full of bitterness at a
country that he perceives as having failed him; Zeberdee (Roland
Manookian), a mouthy hooligan whose life revolves around crime and
drugs; and Bill Farrell (Dudley Sutton), a 70-year-old war veteran
who tries to enjoy every day to the limit. Shot in documentary
style using a handheld camera, the film realistically captures the
lure and potency of football violence. 'Arrivederci Millwall'
(1990) follows a group of hardcore Millwall supporters as they
travel to Bilbao in Spain for England's World Cup matches in 1982.
Their rowdy behaviour soon leads them into trouble, and the
violence escalates as Billy Jarvis (Kevin O'Donohoe) steals a gun
to avenge his brother's death in the Falklands conflict.

British 'zomcom' (or zombie comedy, if you prefer) starring Danny
Dyer. When six men suffering from various symptoms of mid-life
angst head off for a weekend in a remote country village to
reconnect with their masculinity, they discover that all the women
there have been infected with a virus that turns them into
man-hating cannibals. The idea of a mid-life crisis quickly pales
into insignificance compared with the catastrophe the men now face.

Low-budget British thriller starring Danny Dyer, Tamer Hassan and

tells the story of seven people who are the only remaining
survivors after an unspecified cataclysmic event has wiped out the
Earth's entire population. As they struggle to understand what has

These are the crews who think nothing of using tear gas, meat
hooks, home-made bombs, and worse to make their point--these gangs
of organized hooligans for whom their team is their life can be
found globally: in Brazil and Croatia, Argentina and Italy, these
soccer fans are everywhere. Meet the fans prepared to go to the
furthest extremes to defend their team's honor. Actor Danny Dyer,
star of the hit film "The Football Factory," took a film crew with
him to meet all of these gangs, and this is the full story of what
happened when he did. Join him on a journey around the hooligan
world in 90 days, visiting nine countries in 12 weeks to meet the
nastiest, naughtiest European soccer hooligans on the planet. Shot
at, stoned, glassed, and tear gassed, they survived gunfire in
Brazil, a riot in Poland, and the opportunity to stand shoulder to
shoulder with the foreign teams as it all goes off. Full of
spine-chilling encounters, extraordinary characters, and brutal
clashes, this book shows that soccer hooliganism is alive and
kicking--all over the world.
