That was so evident from the film I thought.

 

[Kosmonaut]

Wow.

Spoiler

Combo's demise one of the most harrowing scenes I've ever seen

Isn't it his paternal grandfather who is black.

Yes, not his father.

Who were the white blokes the black blokes handed Combo over to?

I thought that a bit strange as well, however racialism will always catch up with you

 

[Nibble]

I enjoyed it although I thought it was all a bit neatly tied up.

 

[The Modfather]

Pulled in out the bag again with last weeks dinner table scene, and the harrowing scenes involving Combo in the van and Kelli in the caravan. Some great comedy moments with Woody's parents too.

hope that really is the finale.

Who were the white blokes the black blokes handed Combo over to?

Anyone know ?? In the van, Combo seemed resigned to getting a good kicking, but when he was handed over to the white blokes, he panicked & knew he was in big trouble....but who were they supposed to be ?

Combo's former NF buddies?

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Alas leaves it slightly ajar. Shane M needs to accept the cult status it achieved especially with the fillum, '86 and '88.

I felt this '90 held its own, had some great moments and squared a few circles.

Anyone else enjoy Somers Town as much as I did?

 

[Kosmonaut]

Combo's former NF buddies?

Yeah this is what I've been hearing. People have been speculating that they are former NF blokes getting revenge on him for turning his back on their movement, or maybe ratting them out?

Also heard the same.......

 

[Brownstuff]

Just watched the last episode
Fantastic acting as always especially Michael Socha (Harvey) throughout
Can relate to so many of these characters

Added to the fact that combo was also of mixed race himself which they may not have previously known about so they may have felt doubly betrayed.

Doesn't really wash with me the NF answer - would they have been that numerous and powerful to off someone in 1990?
Why would they co-operate with the blacks anyway?
Sean and Gadge were in the NF in the first film - would they be looking to off them as well for leaving?
Another possible explanation would be revenge for the person Combo murdered.
Or he's not dead and the door is left ajar for a sequel...
