Synopsis

Jeremy and Julian Lewis, known as the "Lewis Twins," are two disruptive brothers who cause chaos in the city of Swansea from their home in a caravan park. Living with their family, they become embroiled in trouble after their father, Fatty, is injured while working on a roof for local criminal Bryn Cartwright. Their attempts to seek compensation for his injury prove unsuccessful, prompting them to launch a campaign of terror. Meanwhile, local police officers Terry and Grayo are unable to effectively intervene, as they are themselves entangled in a drug deal with Cartwright.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
