One of the best football hooligan films of all time is the 1995 film ID which starred Reece Dinsdale as an undercover cop, sent to stop a massive hooligan gang only to find that he liked the violence just as much as those he was sent to arrest!
With the genre now virtually the norm these days in straight to DVD releases in Britain and with a huge fan base lapping them up, it was only a matter of time before someone decided to do a remake or sequel, and guess what, we having ID2: Shadwell Army.
Of all the old stars returning only Perry Fenwick (yes Billy from EastEnders) and Lee Ross, whose Gumbo is seen at the end of the trailer below.
No details yet of a synopsis, but we can be sure it follows the same style that made the original so great! Lets hope it lives up to the 21 year wait.
ID2 is out in August!
