Bank of Dave based on a true story

Bank of Dave is a great movie based on a true story set in Burnley, northern England, during the 2098/2009 financial crisis. Dave business is the selling of mini buses and vans he’s been helping local people financially who are struggling. He decides he’d like to open a non profit making bank and donate to charity. Trouble is he has to take on the big guns from down south in London. First one came out 2023 with a second one very soon. Definitely worth at least checking the trailer

Can anyone confirm if Bank Of Dave 2 is worth a watch? I watched the first one and really enjoyed it. Got a few hours later and thought I’d check it out. Opinions appreciated thanks :+1: Br Bernie

I watched both…the first one is GREAT and the second one is meh ok.
I watched it because im a “completist” with certain stuff. Here are my main reasons (without giving too much away):
■ To maintain continuity, it seems as though they used the same “Template” as the first one.
■ Specifically, a seemingly random “Love Interest” was written in to effort a sorta side drama like the first one.
■ The weird use of the famous Rock Band “Def Leppard” Great band and I love em but The use of them in this movie was not true to the actual efforts of Dave to save the bank.
■ The Court Drama (albeit really wetted-down this go around)
■ There are other instances that made me feel like the writers, directers, producers etc just wanted to get finished with it. This one is really subjective to viewer interpretation.
Watch it and let me know if Im on or off with my points please!

I’m a little confused @Reece .

Your points are spot on with the movie interpretation of the actual events that took place in Bank of Dave.

But i think @Bernz is referring to the second documentary. I think it has something to do with predatory lending. Havent watched it yet myself.

The movie does add made up story lines and court drama while trying to relay the same message of David vs Goliath. It was a decent predictable movie but nothing too impressive. I was watching the documentary waiting for Def Leppard to show up. :rofl:

Yes, as per my salient points I was referring to the second one.
All in all its worth a watch if you liked the First one. Just not as good iMHO.

Oh, there is a BoD2 Documentary and a BoD2 Movie. I didn’t know they made a movie about the second part already.

And they bring back DL for the second movie as well?

No No you have it wrong… And Im sorry if my response was confusing.
As far as I know there are only 2…the original:
■ Bank of Dave
Then the follow up to that one is
■ Bank of Dave 2: The Loan Ranger

Bernz wanted to know if the 2nd one was worth watching,
and I gave my 2 cents worth on it.
Hope this clears it up for you! Take care.

This one is on my long list to watch but I just started the Patience TV series and have found that I really like it.

Anyhow one of the most wonderful things about streaming, movies and TV, is that if it’s not good or holding your interest you can just move on. I’ve started movies and TV shows and found that I didn’t like them so I just found something else.

So true Jerry. I have so much in my Trakt Que and so little patience if I don’t like something. I’ll boot it knowing I’ll never watch everything I think I will.

Im lost…

As far as i can tell there were 2 documentaries…The Bank of Dave and The Bank of Dave 2. Both made in 2013 to 2015ish time. I have only watched the first BoD documentary. Can’t find BoD2 links.

Then the Netflix movie Bank of Dave came out in 2023ish. Followed by a more Netflixed Bank of Dave 2.

Am i wrong?

There are ONLY 2! As I stated earlier (Did you read it?)
■ BANK OF DAVE
■ BANK OF DAVE 2: THE LOAN RANGER

The Fact they are on Netflix has NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
There are only 2!!!

These are the TWO depicted in the PIctures I found by doing a SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH, and is also CORROBORATTED (To strengthen or support with other evidence; make more certain. synonym: confirm.) by the IMDB Database of Video or Motion Picture Releases of which I RESEARCHED for the answer to this and DOUBLE CHECKED prior to me posting; so as to NOT spew forth erroneous ( adjective - Containing or derived from error; mistaken) info.
Dont be CONFUSED, DO SOME REASEARCH…I did and you could check my findings if you dont believe it! :rofl:
HERE IS A LINK SO YOU CAN READ WHAT I FOUND!! Scroll down on it a tad and you will see info pertaining to the SECOND ONE: Bank Of Dave 2: The Loan Ranger - Or better yet - HERE IS A LINK To the second one also… ENJOY!!

Hi Everyone

We did watch it last night and it has all the ingredients to be a hit for the family to watch. It has good Vs evil, trans Atlantic cooperation, girl meets boy and a well known rock band. So if anyone is at a loose end you can’t really go wrong by watching Bank of Dave 1&2, we’re all critics to some degree but this film isn’t political or sexist. I suggest kick your shoes off, sit back and enjoy ps have a nice weekend Br Bernie

But there arent only 2.

There was the original documentary in 2013 that i watched on YT.

The first movie was based on that. I was trying to find the documentary used for the second movie unless it was all made up.
