"Nigel didn't want to be in the film as he is a born-again Christian and his wife would kill him, basically, but his son (Conor Benn) jumped on it, and when you see him, he does look like his dad.

"They've re-created the McClellan-Benn fight, so there is some great stuff in this film.

"It's still violent and it's still a crime film, but they've also focused on the humour."
