Some of us still in Britland can be pushed into things. Now I am not saying it is not me. I just notice things. Christ knows what will happen soon in Europe with the lack of making money by respected ways. Maybe certain people want that, you have got to question, honest heart and soul and minded people.
The main character himself is a gangster. But why was portrayed as a ruthless criminal who kills even the innocent people? Why not a vigilante or an anti hero who speaks his mind and think things though? He's sort of an anti-villain to me.
What a film this is! I watched it for the first time recently and couldn't believe just how good it is. From what I am told, it catches the mood of the era perfectly. Interesting times for sure.
This is one of the most deceptive trailers in the history of cinema. To watch this trailer, you'd think this was an amazing, action-packed movie with grit and style. But in reality - everything this movie has to offer is IN THE TRAILER. The other 88 minutes are absolute rubbish. This movie eats a massive dick.
'Get Carter' is widely regarded as the best British gangster movie ever made. It was released into cinemas on the eleventh of march 1971. HAPPY 40TH BIRTHDAY, CARTER!
Thing with the original is Carter is a terrifyingly plausible character. A violent man having a psychotic breakdown etc. Stallone was just all your usual trans-atlantic dong coptering and 'American' machismo.
One of three UK kitchen-sink gangster melodramas released by MGM in the early 70's, the others being "Villain", directed by Michael Tuchner, and "Sitting Target", by Douglas Hickox. "Get Carter" is arguably the best of them. Mike Hodges did a great directing job. Michael Caine is unforgettable.
Despite their age these movies haven't lost their edge; they remain as gritty and mean-spirited as when they were released. There is no cuteness. No narcissism. No bullshit.
The trailer gives away quite a lot about the plot, but then again I suppose that although the plot is fascinating, Caines' performance as Carter is simply excellent. One of the best films of all time.
i just watch the slyvester get cater and i think american movie is full of crap by trying to make everyone in the movie looks gangster but weak but europe movie they know how to play with violence such as strawdogs,i spit on your grave,original italian job,snatch,das experiment,let the right one in and many more
@parisiteparylyze1 - I spit on your grave is American....strawdogs is American-British...I can tell you right now, in the future you should have avoided any american remakes and go straight to the original...
A great example of an excellent British film (or "movie" according to the Yanks) ruined by a lousy US trailer. Since when has a BR train had an American railroad horn?
The GREATEST British movie...but one thing I've never got. To judge by Caine's accent he must have left Newcastle when he was a baby. Jimmy Nail he ain't!
is it 'Get Carter' or 'The Long Good Friday'? we're constantly debating it....I think Get Carter just wins for better production and locations. LGF looks a bit too made-for-TV. Both have THE ultmate theme music though.
OK I'm going to show myself up here - I've never seen LGF. Will order immediately. Just ordered 'Villain' which looks good if only for Richard Burtons cockney accent. I cant see either supplanting my love of Carter though - I'm a bit funny about it
Never have I envied anyone so much (the guys with the ferraris in the garage don't come close)...imagine seeing LGF for the first time!!!!!!! you could only top that by listening to Led Zep for the first time. Lucky lucky you. Villain a bit disappointing. Performance is great though.
All I can say to you is your life will not be same after seeing Harry Shand walk through customs at the beginning and get in the back of the limo at the end....I'll say no more!!!!
The greatest British film of all time (probably the greatest film ever made full stop?) starring the greatest actor of all time. Either way I so want to be at that groovy discotheque dancing with those Mini skirted lovelies. 'The Italian Job' (1969) also rocks too!
Like most films from the 60's and 70's the trailers were a bit poor, and a little hammy, don't let that put you off. Get Carter is a great gritty 70's movie, a true brit classic. 10/10 in my book.
i,m 51 now and when i was about 14 or 15 i remember them making this classic movie in gateshead my home town, the high rise car park used in the movie is actually being demolished at the moment, the HIGH LEVEL BRIDGE ( called the IRON BRIDGE in the movie ) has just re opened after a 3 year re fit, the pub used in the film was called the VICTORIA AND COMET (just opposite the Central station ) is now an Irish Theme pub ...
There are mixed feelings about the demolition of the Gateshead multi-storey car park. No chance of that happening to the High Level Bridge! The dumping of colliery waste into the sea is now, fortunately, a thing of the past. A very violent film with few, if any, likeable characters but a classic none the less.
i really wanner see this film, but is this a real trailer? same with the one for the ipcress file, they seem a bit like a piss take, still...would love to see it
