My analysis of the 1971 British cult crime thriller Get Carter alongside the locations to the films. Here we see Thorpe played by Bernhard Hepburn visiting Carter at the Las Vegas guest house (Coburn Terrace in Gateshead). Thorpe attempts to escape by hiding in the toilets in a night club. Here I show the night club in December 2010 which as can be seen has not changed on the outside.
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 2,000 original films, most in English. My big interest in life is travel and history but I have also placed films on other subjects

The Night Club Music featured on 'BIG BEAT NIGHT' is the Jack Hawkins and his Orchestra version of 30-60-90, more up tempo! Its written on the sign outside the club.
The music in the nightclub is called 30 60 90 but it is not as others have stated Willie Mitchell,it is Jack Hawkins big beat band who are actually playing live in the filmed sequence.
It was on UA-cam!
Ahh; Bernard Hepton,later of Secret Army fame playing Albert Foiret.That was a good show.I don't remember the first two series but I remember the 3rd in 1979.I've got all 3 on DVD these days.Period dramas like those never date for obvious reasons!
He trained at Bham Rep
"Don't offer a man like Jack a drink in those piddly little glasses; give him the bloody bottle." Carter Rules....
The university you've filmed is Northumbria university, not Newcastle university
Remember the Ballyhoo when they turned up in Wallsend to film the ferry scene. Hung around Gainers Terrace while filming took place and remember Britt Ekland filming us rag arsed kids from her caravan. The most heartbreaking thing though, is I managed to get a copy of the script and get it autographed by Michael Caine but it sadly went missing when we were moved out of those wonderful slums in 1975. Bang went the retirement fund !
jenny talia I did not know Britt Ekland turned up in Newcastle. I thought her parts were filmed in London!
yep, she was there and all of us were gawping at this gorgeous creature. she must have been there to film some scenes when she was discovered in the boot of the car that entered the water, perhaps some scenes weren't used in the end . she came to the door of her dressing room ( a dirty big caravan ) with a home movie camera and filmed us all for a good five minutes, happy memories.

In that case I must mention it when I get round to finishing off the locations! There are still places I have not done - the cemetery, Hamsterly Forest, the coal dumping place etc..
The music featured in the Night Club Scene of Get Carter, is an instrumental track known as "30-60-90" by Willie Mitchell. Go to 30-60-90 - Willie Mitchell to listen to this track.

Jack Hawkins version used in the film.Safly on the LP the Hammond organ break is missing
For twenty odd years I've been going up Newcastle for work at least once a year. For many years we stayed in that God-awful hotel next to the Oxford from where I think you're filming at the top of the spiral staircase. It was called the Crest, The Holiday Inn and now the Premier Inn, I think. Horrendous place anyway. I always used to ask for a room on the back and high up, because the club was so loud! My parents are from Newcastle and remember going to the Oxford Galleries as it was called in the 60's. Sad to see a photo the other day of it being demolished like a lot of that part of town. Very much enjoy your films as a fellow Get Carter enthusiast.
Thanks for writing! I am sad to hear that it is being demolished - I did not know this. It is just as well I filmed it when I did - I only just managed to get to Trinity Square Car Park.
The facade shown at 3`:45 THE OXFORD has been preserved
I remember Ikon. Worked in there a few times doing Ibiza foam parties. It still had the sprung wooden dance floor. Sadly, the foam did it no favours. I also recall there being a small toy shop ( the name escapes me) directly opposite the club. I used to get the bus from there with my dad as a bairn. I remember there was a blue bike in the window. I always pestered my dad to get me it for Xmas. Unfortunately, it was beyond the reach of his pocket.
That house, it was only John Dobson's house, the architect that designed the majority of the buildings of old Newcastle

Britt was not the girl in the car boot. She only appeared in a cameo part at the very outset of the film.
Britt was Jack's girlfriend. Also the girlfriend of a London gangster, Gerald. She appeared twice in the film. If I said that she was the girl in the boot, it was a slip of the tongue!
jimmy nail at 15 is leaning on wall outside the club
30 - 60 - 90 was by Willie Mitchell. Northern Soul.
Jack Hawkins version in the film...
it was not in fact a night club it was the oxford galleries ballroom it became anight club later called tiffany,s
and what brought that on?
I missed the sign - sorry. I will film it the next time I am in the area!
graffitti - now I see!
