Guy Ritchie should have been the one to remake Get carter if at all a remake had been made. Stallone went ahead and F*cked it up !! so i guess the chances for a remake look bleak.
Still we do have ritchie to look forward to for some brit gangster movies post his sherlock phase.
I admit it's a good theme, but look, folks, it's straight out of the John Barry playbook: ostinato and main melody played on an exotic sounding instrument. Just like the Ipcress File. Or the theme from the Persuaders.
@BegoneJonah Echo that. I listened to a Budd ambient piece on the radio, remembered he'd done a Brit movie and searched for Ipcress File. Forgotten that it was J Barry but similar feel. Budd's more jazzy.
One of the all time most memorable film themes. Get Carter was a classic British gangster movie and Jack Carter was one of Michael Caine's best performances. The final chords to the theme are the most haunting.
Haunting theme, superb musicianship, the solo of Herbie Hancock quality. Ted Lewis's novel is not to be missed. He knew crime and criminals, rather than having an educated guess like Raymond Chandler. A superb writer. Brit Noir pioneer supreme. Roy Budd's solo on this very Herbie-ish. Obsessive's info: the guy in the corner of the carriage plays a very important role at end of this awesome movie...
one of the best and most striking film sountracks of all time. You only have to hear the first two notes and you know what film it is. Fantasmagorical superamos31
If he got caught by the ticket collector in the first class compartment without a proper ticket he would have just knifed the ticket collector to death and the ticket collector would have said 'I only asked because I am doing my job', to which he would have said ' I KNOW you are just doing your job!'. I KNOW!'
Bit of a piss take or artistic licence at the start, plays the piano and prungs it, even if he should have been been playing the harpsicord before prunging the piano's strings on its frame. Ah well, but the visual effect is perfect.
@radioianj I agree. I think all remakes are woeful. It's the same with The Italian Job. The original was a masterpiece, the remake was insipid, feeble, pathetic & pointless.
Roy Budd, the English Lalo Schifrin - delivering big-time. Words can't quite grasp the sublimity of this theme. The version with the train/station effects 'put back in' is hair-raising. Caine's finest hour in a great film. Budd encapsulates the excitement, meanness and hard attitude of 'Jack in a place he spent a lot of time and effort to get away from'/ no nonsense real 'hard bloke sorting things out' atmosphere in the grooviest of ways.
@starstruckone I am pretty sure it was him. This suggests that Carter was being followed up from London - although Fletcher did say he did not want him to go. I don't quite follow why Kinnear asks if he knows what Carter looked like.
(I am glad you wrote this as it is my policy not to reveal things that happen towards the end in a film!!! )
The scene of the shoot out on the ferry landing in Get Carter always brings back fond childhood memories for me. I grew up in that area and I remember me and my mate throwing stones at turds floating down the Tyne, seeing who could score the most direct hits. That was before the Tyne got cleaned up a bit. Golden days!
I would put Get Carter just behind The Long Good Friday as the Best British Gangster Film but a great film in it's own right and in my opinion Caine's best film performance.
Roy Budd was born in 1947. Although some biographies say Budd started playing aged four, he was two and a half years old when he started picking out tunes on the piano the morning after a Christmas party (verified by Roy's brother).
He scored over 20 movies...From Soldier Blue to Who Dares Wins but he is most remembered for Get Carter......Sadly he died at the age of 46 in 1993, due to a brain haemorrhage
Freeking classic movie and song. Roy Budd sets the perfect mood to this classic British gangster movie, love how cold, eeire and gloomy everything looks and feels.
@womeruk You're spot on, in addition Eric Paice loses a shoe on the beach, then in the next shot is wearing both shoes! PS - i'm not sure its Blyth Staithes beach, but one furthur down the coast.
This has to be the 'definitive' British Gangster film of its time. I still love the film and its great to see that both the film, and the late author, Ted Lewis (who wrote the novel 'Jack's Return Home in 1970, on which it is based) have been actually recognised.
Cool---I found this song on a complilation of movie themes some years and enjoyed it right away--I love that bassline---went out a bought a compilation of Roy Budd's movie themes called BUDDISM, which had some great funky themes on it---worth getting if you love '70's movie themes--only problem with this tune is that it's a little too short for me---plus I like jazz.
Yeah. This is one of mine favorite movies. Finale is good and realistic. In real life happy end are really rare. Especialy if you badass. I hate remake with Sly
@marchrabbit85 MAYBE THE BAD GUY IN ME ALWAYS WANTED TO SHOUT JACK LOOK OUT! AND KILL THE HITMAN MYSELF,that was when i was 12 im older now.the hitman wouldnt get the chance now ha h aTAKE CARE
The three keyboard instruments are a grand piano (with lots of reverb and very little direct sound), an acoustic harpsichord with reverb added and a red Wurlitzer EP-200 electric piano. I remember reading that the film's budget only extended to three musicians; Budd, a percussionist and a bass player. I thought I could hear an analogue drum machine at one point (Ace Tone?) but perhaps not.
Not too sure what you mean? Score music or just the track itself? If you do want this piece, just buy the soundtrack for the film.
The (remastered?) soundtrack for Get Carter is amazingly produced with some fantastic songs and movie moments. The songs sum up the period beautifully with performances (like in the pub scene) and it includes even (slingshotting from the 60's I believe) psychadelic and dreamy songs. Probably one of the best soundtracks around ever.
Best part of the film (apart from the theme) is Jack Carter throwing Alf Roberts from the now demolished Trinty Square car park in Gateshead. "I hope you can fly" I don't think we are going to get our fee on this one..." Classic!
Timeless! Still to this day modern chill out, nu-jazz, electronica-jazz productions are heavily inspired by Roy Budd's classic. to say NOTHING of David Holmes (Ocean's 11/12/13). Fantastic!
You are indeed a radical cucumber sire...Roy Budd is a bloody genius innit...That has got to be one of the finest openings to a movie ever...I am a long time Buddist x Gaz
Thanks for those notes, SpringerSix...just wasted a few hours on them! Playing them up the neck sounds good, too.
The line I've always liked from the film is "I don't believe I can allow you to do that" Not so good in print, maybe, but great with Carter's menace. I only dare say it to my cat when she's about to jump on the table.
the train is seen passing under the old A1 road bridge before it was rebuilt in 1972 the train then passes through grantham station the next shot is the train about to enter peascliffe tunnel and seconds later it leaves the same tunnel not bad speed the tunnel is about 1700 yds long the film itself is a classic
