Must be one of the top ten British movies of all time. Caines smart yet stone cold portrayal set against a grim Northern backdrop just creates a superb mix.
It's a ridiculous movie full of bad characters bad acting and bad camera work... it's the most overrated movie I could possibly think of... it's so bad that the Sylvester Stallone remake could be considered better.
@@ballconei ‘Overrated’ is an overused term to describe anything that somebody doesn’t like. That doesn’t make it overrated, it means other people like something you don’t. As for the rest you pick on, I wholeheartedly disagree on. I can’t fathom why you can’t see how solid the level of filmmaking is in this picture. Oh well, good talent is wasted on some I guess
I’d like to posit my theory that moronic pronouncements like this from ConeBalls are the reason Jack Carter became a murderer. I mean, his brother Frank was a law abiding citizen, so it wasn’t “hereditary” 😂… Think back to just before Jack drops Bumbry’s fat body off of the parking garage to his death, when Jack is in the process of rendering Bumbry unconscious for the purposes of throwing him down to the ground… he really emphasizes the hate & disgust Jack feels for these people - who are pretty much just like him - while Jack is bludgeoning Bumbry with those huge haymakers. The look on Caine’s face is savage. Jack’s not a human being anymore in this scene. He IS death incarnate. The scene when he stabs Albert is a close second. Jack is outwardly calm in this scene but Caine shows us how quickly Jack goes from 0 to 100 mph. The way Albert doesn’t even really try to fight back, I suppose he was hoping Jack would spare him? What an awful coward! He was on his knees, begging for his life (after boning Jack’s niece in a porno film. Albert was ultra clueless if he really believed Jack would spare him after THAT, not to mention they’d murdered his brother over it). Plus, after Frank was dead, they - Eric, mostly - mocked Jack, figuring, I suppose, that Jack would never come for his brother’s killers. Bad miscalculation. But these are not intelligent people. Anyway, Jack Carter just makes sense to me, in this idiotic world we live in. There’s tons of people out there who have it coming, due to their misdeeds. Jack Carter is the deliverer of vengeance. Payback. And we all know that Turnabout is ALWAYS fair play. You do some bad shit to someone, you’re gonna get it yourself eventually, and if you’re an adult, you take it and don’t whine. There’s no freebees. People who have it coming generally know they have it coming, and these gangsters were badly out-gangstered by Jack Carter. And the ending isn’t defeatist or anything, Jack meets his own death pretty much painlessly. A quick painless death - after taking vengeance for his brother - would’ve been the best possible thing that could happen to Jack. Think about it: every other death in the film is a cruel death, suffering is deep. Bumbry gets thrown off a building, Glenda is drowned in the trunk a car, Albert is stabbed to death just outside an outhouse, the smug Peter isn’t laughing or smiling when Jack shoots him dead… But Jack dies quickly & painlessly. No prison. No torture. No long, drawn-out death throws. Just a quick laugh to himself that his mission had been accomplished and he finally got the satisfaction of mocking and tormenting Eric as he waited for the perfect moment to murder him, making him guzzle whiskey before he sent him over to the other side 😂. Frankly, Get Carter has one of the happiest endings of any gangster picture. Think Frank would have wanted to live out his days like Henry hill or gravano? He had no future anymore in the underworld, and he would have preferred death to living like his brother Frank or other “honest Johns”, which would e bored him to death. So a bullet to the head was preferable.
Ah, those were the days. When putting a restaurant on the top floor of some hideous concrete car park was considered a good idea. It's also nice to see that Carter parked his car neatly!
Same here. I was thirteen when they built Trinity Square where the 'Get Carter' car park was. There's a plaque next to Costa Coffee as well dedicating the car park since it was part of an iconic movie
No one bares his fangs with spitting animal rage in between stretches of stone faced self-control quite like Sir Michael. That sense of dynamics is part of what makes him a great actor.
Michael Caine said that when he needed to summon up anger for a scene like this he remembered the treatment he received from the people looking after him as an evacuee in WW2, the first house that is.
Get Carter - the film which influenced ALL British gangster films which followed. As Carter once said - " Your a big man but your out of shape, and with me its a full time job . . . Now, BEHAVE YOURSELF ".
@@mikew4001 Comparing this with another fist fight high up overlooking a street, Roger Moore's "Helpful chap" scene in The Spy Who Loved Me, and we see what a difference a few lines of dialogue can do... :)
The look on Carter's face when he was beating up Brumby was pure murderous hate. Asides from Daniel Day Lewis and Joe Pesci, I can't think of anyone else who could have pulled off this scene as convincingly.
The scene where Jack corners Albert Swift is amazing, the sheer menace in Jacks perfectly calm voice- "talk, or i'll kill you".... when Albert finishes speaking "thats it then" with the snap of the flick knife. Stunning performance from Caine.
I really thought that Michael (Jack) did throw Bryan (Cliff Brumby) off the concrete car park! a very realistic scene... and also landing on that car.. nasty.
So true what Jack says to Brumby about the difference between Doreen and Sandra. Difference of Class. Fantastic Movie. They don't make them like this anymore 🙂
@@drumdude46 Should I explain the concept of an 'anti-hero' to them? Or do you want to do it? A third option I only just thought of would be for neither of us to bother, and that's what I'm going with. Bye!
Yes... isn't that weird, people look old back then, im 50 now, and stull dress and do things that I would never have seen my Dad do... everyone just looked old back then. Great days though... so simple compared to what we have to deal with today.
I saw this film at the age of 16, and oh boy did I laugh when Brumby landed on the car. My mother looked at me with one of those "I don't know who you are anymore" expressions, which was quite a buzz.
Amazing film. Every moment from beginning to end. One of the best British gangster films ever made. In my opinion better than the Godfather. Perfect movie.
The line about the fees is one of my favorite "jokes" in any film ever. Great that it's unironically spoken in the middle of all the dirty grimness...just like in real life.
he was famous in his own right as a actor, not many people that are already famous get to play bond really, connery had only done a few films, moore did t.v.
The guy who rescues the girl from the car, is my late father. He was doing a delivery for Carricks Bakery, and they asked him if he wanted to earn five pounds.
I believe the car park itself was demolished in the last few years - in fact a lot of the shooting locations have now vanished, especially at the end of the film.
Yeah the car park was demolished in 2010. The staithes in Blyth during the scene where Jack is pursuing Eric and the colliery machinery on the beach have also been demolished. Most notable locations still standing are the Bridges over the Tyne, The house in which Kinnear resides (Dryderdale Hall). Other smaller used locations are also still here as well.
Those were the days when the police managed to get to the scene of a crime before the perpetrator actually departed despite the police driving a Hillman Hunter. Hideous cars. made in Eire with the hand brake between the door and the driver's seat. And true to form, only one brake light. A truly authentic film. Love it.
Originally the Hunter was made in Linwood, Scotland, and then moved to Ireland to make way for a total bag of rubbish called the Chrysler Sunbeam. Could have been worse, if Get Carter was made in 1973, then it would have been an Austin Allegro.
my dad bought a new hunter in 1974 the quality was just as good as his previous car a marina! two naff cars in a row i foolishly bought a hunter in the 80's it lasted me 3 months you were lucky if the clutch lasted more than a year plus numerous cooling system and servo problems were common faults on these cars surprisingly they were in production for 12 years! , i think the car in the film is the lower spec minx as it has round headlights while the hunter had oblong headlights
I passed my driving test in a Hillman Hunter. The instructor told me just before going into the test, that the examiner might refuse to let me take the test because he wouldn't be able to get at the handbrake in an emergency.
I lived above a pub across the road from that car park and in 2010 they spent 3 months slowly demolishing it with some excavators although it would of been alot quicker and cheaper to have just blown it up.
To be honest, i do not think i have seen a more violent scene - acted out in such real life fashion as this. Brian Mosley, (Brumby) had difficulty with it. It played on his conscience a bit - the sheer ruthlessness, the terrifying end. It was said that he had consultation with his priest (catholic), didn't know if he should do the scene. The acting ability of both stands out. 'Caine' brutal. Mosley, condescending. Two brilliant actors.
taking the two girls out of the back seat of the ford zephyr without assessing their injuries ! nowadays they would call the fire brigade to cut the roof off before anyone was removed from the car.
Nice little touch that the girl passenger in the car was being carried away for medical help. Could easily have just shown him lying on the car, but they gave that scene which lasted just a few seconds a lot of thought.
The dim Witt Police drive pass a car leaving the scene. Michael Caine looking like a young Sean Bean. If this was a film about diamonds do you think it would be called Get Cartier?
The non dialogue scenes say the most in this film. He throws a guy off a building, body lands on a car killing the two in the front, children in the back have been turned into orphans.
He didnt die from the jump.. he eventually made a full recovery and opened a shop in Weatherfield.. Filned in Gateshead...famous only for one thing...the car park used in this film..so they knocked down their only claim to fame
Michael Caine, more than anyone else, can claim to be the true heir of Humphrey Bogart. Authentically tough and gritty when it's required (a lot more openly gritty than Bogey but that's because the times had changed), subtle, sarcastic yet understatedly emotional, with superb sense of delivering lines and expressing things with his eyes. All of this comes through in spates in Get Carter.
Always possible that the Mk3 Zephyr 4 Alf Roberts landed on could have broken his fall, thus might have survived. Well soon after he turned up in Wetherfield, though with no memory of what happened.
Got to see that hideous car park before it was pulled down, whilst out on a road trip up the coast road in the sportscar with the missus. All the other iconic locations too. Another one off the bucket list.

The remake with Sylvester Stallone was total crap - Hollywood at its worst.
Once Carter sees the film and realises what happened to Frank - he goes into full on beast mode. Not a man to mess with.
