Frequently asked about Snatch

Common questions people search for, with answers written by us at MoviesPack.

• What happens to the 84-carat diamond at the end of Snatch?▾

  After bouncing through nearly every character's hands, the diamond ends up swallowed by Tommy's dog, which Tommy and Turkish unknowingly keep. In the final scene they walk into a pawn shop in London to try to sell it, completing the long, accidental journey from Franky Four Fingers in Antwerp back to the two small-time boxing promoters who started the chaos.

• Why does Mickey burn down the caravan with his mother inside?▾

  Brick Top's men murder Mickey's mother by setting her caravan on fire while she sleeps, as punishment for Mickey knocking out Gorgeous George and refusing to throw the second fight. This is the turning point that pushes Mickey from a chaotic but harmless gypsy into someone willing to deliberately defy Brick Top by knocking out his opponent in the final round, knowing his entire camp will retaliate afterwards.

• Why does Brick Top want the fights fixed and what goes wrong?▾

  Brick Top runs an illegal bare-knuckle boxing racket and bets heavily against his own fighters, so he needs them to go down in a specific round to clean up at the bookies. Mickey ruins this twice, first by knocking out Gorgeous George in one punch and then by refusing to fall in the fourth round of the rigged fight, which is why Brick Top plans to feed Turkish, Tommy and Mickey to his pigs.

• What is the significance of Boris the Blade and how does he die?▾

  Boris the Bullet-Dodger is a Russian ex-KGB arms dealer who orchestrates the robbery of the diamond from Franky Four Fingers by tipping off Sol and Vinny about the pawn shop. He survives multiple gunshots throughout the film, living up to his nickname, but is finally killed when Tony shoots him through the jaw in the pawn shop after Boris tries to retrieve the diamond.

• Why is Bullet Tooth Tony almost impossible to kill in the film?▾

  Tony's nickname comes from having survived being shot six times in a botched job, and the bullets were reportedly kept as souvenirs in a necklace. Throughout the film he calmly outguns the three inexperienced black robbers and shrugs off Boris's threats, but he is ultimately killed in the climactic shootout at the pawn shop along with almost everyone else chasing the diamond.
