Scenes used in the 1971 British cult crime thriller Get Carter.
Get Carter is a 1971 British crime film directed by Mike Hodges and starring Michael Caine as Jack Carter, a gangster who sets out to avenge the death of his brother in a series of unrelenting and brutal killings played out against the grim background of derelict urban housing in the city of Newcastle upon Tyne. The film was based on Ted Lewis' 1969 novel Jack's Return Home, itself inspired by the real life one-armed bandit murder in the north east of England.
The film was Hodges' first as a director; he also wrote the script. The production went from novel to finished film in eight months, with location shooting in Newcastle and Gateshead lasting 40 days. It was produced by Michael Klinger and released by MGM. Get Carter was also Alun Armstrong's screen debut.
In 1999, Get Carter was ranked 16th on the BFI Top 100 British films of the 20th century; five years later, a survey of British film critics in Total Film magazine chose it as the greatest British film of all time. Get Carter was remade in 2000 under the same title, with Sylvester Stallone starring as Jack Carter, while Caine appears in a supporting role. This remake was not well received by critics.
Initial critical reception was poor, especially in the United Kingdom: "soulless and nastily erotic...virtuoso viciousness", "sado-masochistic fantasy", and "one would rather wash one's mouth out with soap than recommend it". The American film critic Pauline Kael, however, was a fan of the film, admiring its "calculated soullessness". A minor hit at the time, the film has become progressively rehabilitated via subsequent showings on television; with its harsh realism, quotable dialogue and incidental detail, it is now considered among the best British gangster films ever made. In 2004, the magazine Total Film claimed it to be the greatest British movie in any genre.
There are two slightly different versions of this film. In the opening scene of the original version Gerald Fletcher warns Carter that the Newcastle gangs "won't take kindly to someone from The Smoke poking his bugle in". This was later redubbed for American release in a less pronounced Cockney accent (not by Terence Rigby) with "won't take kindly to someone from London poking his nose in", as tape previews in the US had revealed that many Americans did not understand what "The Smoke" and "bugle" meant in this context. "Smoke" is slang for London, in reference to its reputation as a foggy city, while "bugle" is slang for nose. The line "I smell trouble, boy" is also edited out.

My channel is one of the most prolific from Poland. With almost one film per day, one may be forgiven for thinking I do nothing else but I do have a day job as well. I have produced around 1,600 original films, most in English but also in Polish, French, Italian, Spanish and the occasional hint of German and Hebrew. My big interest in life is travel and history but I have also placed films on other subjects

I remember going to visit my grandparents in Walker in the 1970s and hearing one these jazz bands coming down the street.
Wasn't Jazz
The jazz band was Pelaw Hussars (PH on the uniforms)
Come on Jack put it away...you know you won't use it.
The gun he means.
RIP George Sewell, Tony Beckley and Rosemary Dunham.
Next year it will be fifty years since it was made!
A brilliant film about dreadful people, with the exception of Doreen and Keith.
Thank you to a fantastic cast and crew, and the City of Newcastle.
Rest in Peace Ian, Rosemary, Tony, George, Glynn, John,
Brian.
Love to Petra and Geraldine.
Yes l think it was there
I've been to the juvenile jazz band world championships! So there...
Yes, it is out of sync. The problem is related to the codecs - I have various films on my channel alanheath3 which I recorded from the television to VHS then I converted to digital. I think if I did it now it would not be so bad - I probably needed more RAM!
@mac1971steel But see some of my films from other locations - completely different now - forty years on!
I think that there is something very British in that comic line!
I also went to this street but the neighbour at nr 23 looked very suspiciously at me when I was staring at the house, as if I was planning to rob the house that night. When I wanted to explain, she walked away, walking her dog. Ten minutes later she saw me again when I came out of the backstreet, lol. And yes, they did use that backstreet for filming.
I think that they should be used to it - someone came out and told me about it making a joke about a shotgun!
On of my cousins was in kazoo marching band in the early 70s in Heburn/Pelaw. Terrible noise they made, but she never mention the film if I remember as I was a small child living on a farm Nr Hexham wanting to go into electronics/electrical/engineering industry and university, which i did.
Obviously we are the same age. We used to call them jazz bands although today on a totally different video someone suggested that that is not the right term!
+Alan Heath Well the Kasso (keyboard faulty), is not an instrument as such just something a person hums through and need no training to do so. The term Jass band would imply a real instrument that needs some real skill to play. I would call them a matching band. Marching band is what they did, so i would think that is the right term.
They called it that to make the the kids feel better i guess. btw, I worked at Newburn at Ever Ready factory as an apprentice.
Great vids by the way.
The Ever Ready factory at Newburn - that brings back memories!
Here is my more recent film with what I termed a jazz band remembering the marching bands of my youth : ua-cam.com/video/T0LC98OvKd0/v-deo.html
Can I call this a jazz band?
+Alan Heath The marching bands I remember and from the film didn't have musicians like you have in the link. The idea was that anyone could join and needed no musical skills at all.
Did you have any connections to Ever Ready ie know anyone who worked there? There was also Tannfield Lea factory which took on Newburns machinery and production of Alkaline batteries. I thought Newburn closed because it was loosing money, but i read that it was not able to keep up with production. There was a 'us' and 'them' attitude towards the management i remember and the place worked 24/7 365.
There were batteries being stolen and sold at markets, but the perps were not sacked because they were very good at their jobs; difficult to believe now i think about it. They stole pallets of the things for sale.
Incidentally, I remember the scrap yards down by the river and my Father bought a motor bike engine from one of them i am sure.
Do you remember the long 'torso in the tank' murder case? Anyway I am off to the Highlands tonight in my Ford Debonair 1972 motorhome thing I inherited, and then off to France to look at the 1973 and 1974 aircrash sites near Paris.
Great vids, keep them up.
I saw your very interesting comment on my phone when I was in bed and I was intrigued enough to find out what had happened to the Ever Ready factory at Tannfield Lea and I learned that it closed in 1996. As I went to school in the area, I can recall the fathers of friends who worked there although I cannot give any surnames as I cannot remember with any certainty who worked there. Having since been in business myself, I can understand why the factory closed as its management practices seem terrible. I also recall the them and us attitude of the time although recent political events have brought out some of my working class chip on my shoulder attitude.
Another interesting point is that I see the factory is going to be turned over to a GBP35m residential project. I don't know who came up with the GBP35m price but as a person who worked in real estate finance, it beats me who is going to put up that type of cash to build 350 houses - makes no sense to me.
The scrap yard is very interesting. I interrogated my father on this one, using the same techniques as I do with other witnesses eg supplying false information and waiting to be corrected. I vaguely recalled it. Unfortunately my father (as I did too) seemed to think it was on the northern side of the river when in fact it was on the southern. I also asked the staff in the tourist office where they thought it was and no-one could remember it - and some of them were older than I (or at least looked it).
I don't remember the torso in the tank - although I should have done as it was in 1979 and I remember a lot of other things from that year!
You probably saw my motorhome films. Whereas I am not into air crash sites, I do spend a lot of time looking at similar things - military, historical etc so we have that in common too!
All the best from Łódź, Poland!
