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.
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.
Ive seen a lot of dummy falls in old movies and this was definitely one of the better ones. In fact that was my 1st thought watching this and why im scrolling through the comments, to see if anyone else noticed lol

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.

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.
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.
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.
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 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.
Playing a vicious psychopath like Jack Carter was a bit of a departure for Michael Caine and yet he is utterly convincing in the role. The mark of a truly great actor.
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?
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.
If you freeze the video at 0:10 you can see the policeman holding back the people on the sidewalk in order for Michael Caine to drive onto the entrance ramp.
I saw this at the cinema when it came out. Back then, they showed two films for the entry fee - an A feature and a B feature. This was the B feature believe it or not. I don’t remember what the A feature was !
"Hello. My name is Michael Caine. It takes the average man 5 seconds to fall from the top of the Trinity Square car park in Gateshead to the ground below. Not many people know that."
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.
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.
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.
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.

This is one of the most hardcore films I have ever seen.
If Point Blank had been set in the Midlands
One of many memorable moments from this film, unfortunately I always ask the question, why Alf Robert’s🤣🤣🤣🤣
Peter Kay is such a versatile actor! 😂
He,s really spanking that Kent pushrodder in the old mk2 there....wish I still had my silver m2 Cortina....
Carter was based on a real person who michael knew from the elephant and castle area...Great film and a brilliant actor.
Fantastic movies
"Bloody Madman"
My favorite Michael Caine film .
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.
Thompsons of Prudhoe
That car park is very similar to the ones in America
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.
Pity about the green Zephyr
Ahhh.....gotta love Brutalist architecture buildings in the 70s UK.
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.
Caine's greatest performance. Caine's best film.
I love the way you see the Police arrive 2 mins later....these days...2 days later! 😂
No conscience, just tosses him over the edge, almost killing someone in a car below.
thats what make this film realistic. no fucking about. pure criminal gangster.
The parents in the front seats are both dead.
Sir Michael Caine would've made a great James bond. He's really good in this film. ❤😊
