Continuing with the locations from the 1971 cult crime thriller Get Carter.
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 thought your site was great and I am sorry you have taken it down! I also feel very honoured that you have commented on mine! I still have to film Pink Lane because when I filmed it, I though the Wimpy Bar was at the other end of the street from memory and when I got back I watched the film and realised I had filmed the wrong place. I also have to film all the places outside Newcastle too!
Hi Honey. I have always been told Doreen’s maisonette is St Cuthbert’s Village- I used to live here. Keith’s pad is Claremont Place in Gateshead. My friends childhood home. The Las Vegas guest house is Coburg St, Gateshead, where a few of my friends lived there. Oh and Franks house is Canning Street in Newcastle. My Grandma born and bred there. Aw, There lot of others as well. We grew up amongst it all 😊
Thanks for writing Laura - I think they are the locations I filmed!
haha, its allreet, my second name is Brady! Yes your in the right place....but you were keen walking round there with a video recorder in ya hand.....I photographed this from a moving car lol. Unfortunatley I recently took the website down...it was online for 10 years....I spoke to quite a few from the cast and crew including Mike Hodges....but all good things come to and end, love your videos btw.. :)
@innit27 I recordeded the Likely Lads film recently - I will post some of the scenes on my second channel when I get round to it!
yes its still there, only now its a posh indian restaurant..
@alanheath that should be recorded
Surprised the flats where Margaret lived near City Rd are still standing as they looked abisolutely rotten in the film. Seemingly they were modernised in the late seventies and are popular places to live now, but in 1970, they looked completely grim.
Hello Michael the original get carter then and now site owner I think the location is off a bit here the house was never Elswick road and I think it was called wentworth place.
Hi Alan I have a UA-cam channel and im doing a news at ten get Carter 50th Anniversary Special with your kindest permission may I use footage of this video for Keith's lodgings on condition I credit you?
@Strawberry7Lynn I am sorry but that does not mean anything to me whatsoever!
So basically there are no film locations left.
No, there are several - but most have gone!
