The film shares themes and stylistic elements with Ritchie's debut, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

Both films feature ensemble casts, intertwining criminal plotlines, fast-paced editing, dark comedic tone, and London underworld settings. Many actors appear in both: Jason Statham, Vinnie Jones, Jason Flemyng, Nick Moran, and others. Snatch is often described as a spiritual successor — sharper, more confident, with a larger budget and bigger names (particularly Brad Pitt). Ritchie's trademark 'bombastic staccato sequences' and radical narrative tangents appear in both.
