Talk:Get Carter

message: The film is obviously iconic - time has proved that - but it is wrong!
If you read the book, which I did in the early 70's, you will realise that the actual location is Scunthorpe.
To get to his destination from London, he changes trains at Doncaster. This would not happen if he was travelling to Newcastle.
Scunthorpe was a steel town then. This is very instrumental to the plot.
I grew up in Scunthorpe in the 60's and recognise the places described.
And for the record, in the book it was a single barrelled shotgun - not double.
Scunthorpe has little going for it, so it is a pity that Newcastle stole this

message: As Jack is walking along the shoreline, he is shot in the head with a sniper rifle by the hitman.
This omits the crucial plot detail: just before collapsing from the rifle shot, Jack brings the gun in his hand up to the level of his shoulder, with the muzzle pointed behind and away from him, as if preparing to hurl the weapon into the sea. In the action, we might suppose, as well as his feeling sick to the stomach over the whole business; there may even have been the seed of an intention to renounce violence itself.

replies: text: That's certainly an interpretation, but since that's not explicit, it should just remain matter-of-fact. Bob talk 19:58, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Besides, I always assumed he was about to throw the gun into the sea simply to dispose of evidence. Given his behaviour throughout the film there's nothing to suggest he's all of a sudden renounced violence.  Chaheel Riens (talk) 20:33, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Jack's Assassination 

message: Main article states Chibnall has established that the film was shown on LWT in 1976 and 1980 "in a bowdlerised version" (which edited out Britt Ekland's phone sex scene). It was also screened in 1979, either by the BBC or, more likely given its prior showing by fellow UK independent TV company, Yorkshire Television. This screening definitely included the Ekland phone sex scene. I can’t be certain of the precise date, but it will most likely have been a Saturday in June of 1979. I’d welcome any further clarification by anyone with a more exact memory than me.
