Trivia

One of the most memorable things about Get Carter is its use of locations in and around Newcastle. (Indeed, director Mike Hodges even rewrote the script at some points to make use of the locations he'd found.) But what is not so widely known is that the book the film is based on - "Jack's Return Home" by Ted Lewis - was not set in Newcastle at all. It was set in Doncaster. See more...

Mistake Continuity: When Carter is shot at the very end of the film, his shot gun falls clear of his body. In the following shot as the sea washes around his body, his hand is resting on the gun.

Mistake Other: At the end just as Carter is about to be shot, he is facing the sea as he goes to throw his gun away. At this point the gunman fires and hits Carter square in the forehead. The position of the gunman is shown as being behind Carter and to his right (this is seen when the gunman lines up to take aim). Even though Carter leans back as he throws his gun away ,he would have been hit somewhere on the right side of his head or temple at best.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Carter meets with Glenda on the bridge, a tracking shot of Carter trying to get away from the other thugs makes hard shadows of the camera on every pillar it moves by.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where Jack Carter drives up to Cliff Brumby's house, watch the shadow on the window in the background. A shadow of someone appears in the window, disappears for a second, and then re-appears in a different place in the window.

Mistake Continuity: The Land Rover that Kinnear's henchmen drive around in at the start is the same Land Rover that the police arrive in to arrest Kinnear at the end.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: Watch out for the camera shadow as Jack Carter runs from his enemies after talking to Margaret on the Iron Bridge.

Mistake Continuity: The Ford Cortina that Jack Carter drives in the film changes number plates. The first time we see it in the film (tailing Kinnear's Cadillac) its registration number is YBB372H. For the rest of this car's appearances in the film, the licence plate is YBB371H.

Mistake Continuity: When the woman that Carter has slept with is walking up stairs while nude, the position of the robe she carries changes between shots.

Mistake Continuity: When Kinnear's house is raided by the police a maroon Humber Hawk is parked facing the house wall when they go in, and facing away when they drag Kinnear out.
