What a great and informative video thanks so much

Alf Roberts

I saw the film in Newcastle when it came out and afterwards went to the Victoria Comet and ordered a pint in a fin glaaas 😂😂 the barman had a laugh, he obviously had seen the film 👍

Cars can no longer drive under this bridge... I am showing my age but I can remember when cars were allowed to drive over this bridge at 05:16 in this video. If I recall correctly cars were not allowed to drive over it from 2008.

I used to live next door to the chemist you see at the end of Coburg St, the back of my flat was in one scene 😂 what a claim to fame.

In the book the ending is quite different, not a lot of people.......

I thought you were going to recreate the phonesex scene

I thoroughly enjoyed your film, Not a Geordie myself , it was a fascinating watch . well done and thankyou.

I always thought the scene where Jack answers the door naked was filmed in Denmark St. which is the next one over from Coberg St. My old primary school (St. Joseph’s) is on the opposite side of Coberg St. to the terraced houses. Not sure if it had even been built at the time of filming. It was probably just derelict land at the time.

Thanks for this. An amazing film and Michael Caine just oozed coolness.

Great job.

They used to dump coal into the sea..?

Many young uns today won't realise when Michael Caine crosses the road from the Central Station he enters 'The Long Bar',Which at the time was the longest bar in the World ( as in Guiness Book of Records). You could enter on Neville Street and come out on Westgate Road.

nice touch on this video

This is fantastic. Thank you

1972 film hit man black get carter. Dvd.

Carters killer "J" goes up on the tran with him at the begining...sent by gerald and les..theres 2 other Carter books

Brilliant film and a great soundtrack. This video is a really good companion to the film. Thanks.

nice one ; but opening pub scene ??? (2 pubs used i think ) one still there ; the Comet ? long bar - and the iconic car park scene ?

Love this film.

Brilliant video. Thanks for posting!

My late mam was born and brought up in Blackhall Colliery 1920.

Well put together

Really enjoyed this. Well presented and really interesting. Get Carter is one of my favourite films. Thanks

I think he would still get the train

Brilliant!

Possibly the finest British Gangster film ever made. The American remake was an embarrassment.

Excellent British cult classic gangster movie 🎥🍿

Excellent Dave.

You deserve tons of subs for this little gem mate. Ill say as you didnt- like and subscribe folks- Fantastic. What you tube was mDe for

Go on son..... drink up!! Classic

Regarding the iron bridge, if you look carefully you can see the reflection of the Panaflex camera on the bridge metalwork.

What a great interesting well researched film. This is what you tube should be used for. It was a great film, a brilliant soundtrack and this video does them both justice. Well done and thank you.

thanks dave what a great little film ,first saw get carter about 1978 i was 14 ,everyne was talking about it the next day at school , quite shocking to me at the tiime , thanks for this trip down memory lane .

I’ve seen this film lots, and I’m absolutely blown away with the twist in the opening scene. Only just realised. Anyone else know it? Or am I naive?

Thanks for that. Very interesting

Well done! I've just watched Get Carter again for the umpteenth time (I have it on Amazon Prime) and it was great to see some of the locations where it was filmed and how it all looks today.

Very good.

Fantastic film, at the start when Jack is on the train from London the sniper who got him is in the same train cab opposite carter, he’s got his black ring on & has obviously been sent up to kill Jack if he gets in the way of business. Excellent film.

Those tough guys wouldn't have thought twice about driving down the bus lane, even a light controlled one.

An excellent film the acting and characterisation were pure dead brilliant i wore out my VHS tape but it appeared on BBC2 late one night and i hurriedly made a DVD copy which i still have today and i have also Ted Lewis's novel which is just superior to the film especially when Peter the Dutchman met his er strange death!

Couldn't help a bit of a maniacal chuckle when our correspondent's 'corpse' twitched in reaction to the lapping sea. Thanks, I enjoyed this. Some interesting local insights on a film I've always enjoyed.

Interesting but not fully comprehensive. Dave Mitcheson is wrong in saying that the conveyor was dumping coal into the North sea and that the beach was black with coal, a romantic notion but totally ludicrous. The conveyor was designed to dump the slag and spoil into the sea that was dug out of the hundred miles of mining tunnels of the Durham coal fields. That's why the conclusion of the film was so poignant, Carter dumps the slag who murdered his brother into the North sea with all the other slag. Slag does contain some coal which many poor people would root for on slag heaps as was vividly described in Orwell's book 'The Road to Wigan Pier'. But the proportion of Coal in slag is very minimal, It's ludicrous to suggest otherwise. It's like going to a supermarket, spending a couple of hundred on groceries and then dumping the lot in the river on your way home, ludicrous.

Love it thank you

Brilliant little video many thanks for making/sharing it I’m really glad to have stumbled upon it. It was really interesting to see some of the uniquely wonderful locations used in the film. I’m a long time fan of Get Carter it’s one of my very favourite films, and I believe it to be certainly the greatest British film ever made. There are so many great performances, and I just love the authenticity of it and how grim it all feels. Roy Budd’s superb soundtrack is the icing on the cake for me. Carter’s killer being in the same train carriage as he makes his way up north is just one of many delicious little details. I think The decision to kill Carter off at the end of the film is a very interesting one. Perhaps the film would be much less impactful had he survived - in fact I strongly believe that would have been the case. Still an interesting decision tho because the smart move would have been to follow the source material (Jack’s Return Home) in which he survives, of course. They could then have made the Jack Carter Trilogy - Jack Carter’s Law, and Jack Carter and the Mafia Pigeon - now that would really have been something!

One of 1971s classic films.

a great video - the place has certainly changed but it seems the atmosphere has long gone. Excellent work.

great vid have they bashed down the multi storey car park?

I know it's gone now but in 2008 I was working right opposite the "Get Carter Car Park". Trinity Square was sadly demolished in 2010!
