THE FIRM (2009)

Nick Love's film about English football hooligans in the 1980s features one scene with a firm getting off at Portsmouth, but once out of the station the confrontation and fighting with rival fans was filmed in Littlehampton.


Memories of the scene being filmed, from Peter Scott.

I watched the the filming on Littlehampton sea front, the cafe behind coastguard tower, they changed the name. Also had an old coach, like a football special. Locals were asked along as extras, with the right clothing. Fila clothing etc. Plenty of rubber bricks, plastic bottles being thrown, proper sounds added after.

 See 5 mins of this clip, be advised, contains strong language.
