The Gentlemen Has A Fun Nod To Guy Ritchie's The Man From U.N.C.L.E.

When we talk about Guy Ritchie classics, Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels are frequently brought up. But there’s one more recent movie Guy Ritchie fans really enjoy and that is The Man From U.N.C.L.E, the 2015 spy movie starring Armie Hammer, Henry Cavill and Alicia Vikander. If you are one of the low-key fans of the movie like me, Ritchie’s new movie The Gentlemen has a little treat for you.

In fact, in a scene late in the movie, a major character is in a studio office sporting a poster to The Man From U.N.C.L.E. It’s a quick homage, but it was one I really appreciated as in general U.N.C.L.E. doesn’t get enough love. In fact, at one point Guy Ritchie didn’t even realize the movie had a fanbase rallying around it.

The Gentlemen even featuring Hugh Grant is also a nice tie-in with Man From U.N.C.L.E, which features Grant in a small role as Alexander Waverly, who works for MI6 in that film. He’s not the only repeat collaborator in The Gentlemen, either, as Guy Ritchie and Charlie Hunnam were also teamed up for King Arthur: Legend of the Sword.
