As a youngster in the late 70's and early 80's I used to frequent the City Tavern, Haymarket, Farmers Rest and The Percy, Friday night and for gigs used to be off to the Mayfair, apart from The Percy all gone now, sadly.
In the late 80’s I’d regularly recreate the scene from ‘get Carter’ in Gateshead multi-storey in my Mini, when I’d first passed my test. I didn’t throw anyone off the top though.
Awesome video and well done for pointing that out about the pubs. They also filmed some of Get Carter in North Blyth on the coal staithes. My mother was pregnant with me at the time and she went down to watch them filming it. Ian Hendry signed an autograph for my mother but Michael Caine wouldn’t come down of the set.
My wife lived in St Cuthbert's Village and the bath scene was filmed in her mam and dad's flat. Her dad had been at work from 5.30 am in the redheugh iron and steel works and when he finished he went straight home, there he was met by numerous cameras rolling and as he was starving he walked straight through the middle of the set. He basically said after he was shouted at , you know what you can do I've been at work I'm dirty and hungry so you lot can f... Off . Oh and they got nothing for the use of the flat as it was council !. God rest his soul Jimmy Quinn.
Yes I agree with what you say. Must get a new DVD version, my original one is about worn out. The storyline is as fresh to me today as when I first saw it on cinema release. Great post, thank you.
Hi Eddie, another interesting and informative video. It's also fascinating to read the comments from your viewers about how locals appeared to be have been used as unpaid extras, as it adds weight to the story may mam told. Whilst filming was talking place she and my grandma came home, (to Blyth) from a trip to Newcastle, telling us they had seen Michael Caine and will be in the film. Apparently they had decided to go for a game of bingo and were in the hall when the bingo scene was filmed. They said they had been asked if they were extras, but replied, "No we're here for the bingo." Thinking about it at home, they then wondered if they had missed out on a few bob! Sad to say they never made it to the film cut, if indeed they had been caught on camera at all. Cheers Eddie keep up the good work.
Who's a naughty boy then? Great film, gritty and totally engrossing way better than the Stallone remake. As usual you are on top of your game when it comes to everything Newcastle. the long bar you mentioned was a gem, pity its gone unfortunately like a lot of the iconic pubs, bars and some amazing clubs Mayfair, Go-Go come to mind lost but not yet forgotten. I find it brilliant whenever a movie or tv show is filmed in the NE helps stay in touch yem.
Hey Eddie, I’ve always known it was the Northeastern that Jack walks into. When Joe Robertson opened a bar on the approximate site of the Northeastern, he called it the Long Bar in recognition of this, he also hung pictures from Get Carter around the bar too. Also if you look closely at the scene in the Long Bar you’ll notice the five fingered man drinking at the bar.
The Spit And Vomit was actually a knocking shop frequented by women who had £5 chalked on the soles of their shoes. After my first session in there as a 16 year old I asked me dad what that meant -he said that's how much they charge for a fuck. Get Carter was filmed in The Long Bar and those famous lines were said at "Alf Robert's" house and not at the car park.
I’m not sure how to interpret your comment Steve. The video is about the scene being filmed in The Long Bar and not the Victoria Comet snd I didn’t say the line was said in the car park 🤷🏻♂️
The Gunner Tavern, which as far as I know is a pretty new pub, is the location of the Cafe that is used (all be it on the Pink Lane side) in Get Carter. I was in there earlier this year and was surprised there was no reference made to this fact.
I seem to remember that The Long Bar had actually closed when the film was being shot. I was in there with my dad (ex Byker!) in 1969. Very atmospheric and the film took me back.
It was open alright, apart from me drinking with two of the guys that were in there supping Caine tells the story that it was Lee Marvins favorite gangster movie because even the "extras looked real and mean". Caine told him they were real in the bar scene as they were all regulars and the pub manager dare not throw them out because they would never return to that boozer again.
The Caledonian in Hebburn, a fair bit was filmed down Hebburn Quay, the shoot out scene was filmed at Hebburn ferry, as told to me by the elders of Hebburn Quay many years ago...
Interesting video as always! Me and my husband see the tour bus regularly up and down our street giving the 'Get Carter" talk, its funny watching them all take pics whilst im sitting there in my dressing gown 😂
Great work. I've said this for years. As you say the clue is with The Barbeque Express chippy. I was a student there in the 70s and we often went there.
I love "Get Carter" but it's very hard to suspend disbelief with Michael Caine having not even a hint of a Geordie accent, despite Newcastle supposedly being his "home town". This was never explained. He made quite a reasonable effort doing a "posh" accent whilst he was killing thousands of Zulus, but was Geordie his ultimate defeat? lol :)
The Old Spit & Vomit - remember it well. Caine's problem as an actor was that he was totally incapable of speaking in other than a cockney accent. This to me undermined the credibility of an otherwise excellent film somewhat, as he was definitely supposed to be a geordie. The film was based on the Ted Lewis novel 'Jack's return Home'. What about a vid on the infamous multi story car park? It was a hideous Brutalist erection designed by the Owen Luder Partnership, mercifully demolished in 2010.
Nae problem. So long as there's a bar where us from London can order our bitter in a straight glass, that's fine. Ye'll be telling us the transporter bridge is across the Tees next, and not across the Tyne! Newcastle is beautiful in the sun. Good job on the channel and could you do a special on 'What happened to the Dunstan Rocket', please. I'm up here for the first time in 40 years, and the brewery's gone and so has the Rocket.
The footage is there to see and where he walked and he definitely didn’t walk into the Victoria Comet. The camera doesn’t lie 🤷🏻♂️ Has it mentioned my video?
@@TynesideLife I always believed it to be The Long Bar, your excellent video confirms that. I couldn’t see any mention of your video, but I can share it in the comments section if that is OK with you.
Mate I'm from Blackhall Colliery where the final scene of Get Carter was filmed lived here all my life since 1970 I know exactly where it was filmed despite the pit slag tipper's been gone before my memory stretchers back in fact if remember right they where gone before I was born.
@@TynesideLife no problem it's something us older lot from Blackhall Colliery colliery are proud of however only one problem with them dumping slag=pit waste into sea has ruined our beaches head about mile further south to Crimdon that beach clean sand's.
The Long Bar was a drinkers bar no frills no prostitutes, the Director wanted the bar emptied for shooting and the manager refused to ask his regulars to leave whilst they filmed their scenes, instead they become extras for the price of a few pints.
I know all about him going into the long bar as my father in law was having a drink , also inthat scene if you look closely the guy having a drink has a extra finger on both hands , i actually met the guy in the moulders arms with my dad ,also the scene where he followed the girl down the stairs from plying bingo it was not the dog leap stairs that Evening Chronicle said it was but the stairs from the old manors railway station , which is blocked of now ,if you look you can see the building now which is the crisis building , thats all and keep up the good work respect , Bryan ( Budgie) Ellison .
I love the Michael Caine impersonation. That really shows what a one trick pony Caine really is. I do love the film though but for me the most remarkable thing was the ridiculously short time it took to make - from novel to finished film in eight months.
When you showed the picture of jack carter walking into the bar and order his drink. The guy in the foreground is my father in law holding a cigarette. He sadly isn't with us now. But nostalgic.
Obviously not my father in law at the time, I was only 9yr old then😇 interesting fact though!! As a business owner. He became my manager and sponsor when I became a professional dart player.
Unfortunately no, retired 2010. After playing for England since 1991. And 7 world championship appearances. Plus a couple of sell out exhibitions in the Millburn stand with the legendary Phil Taylor. We both made our debut for England in the same match. Sorry eddy. Long winded.
Ow yeah when Caine walks in the bar a guy with 5 fingers and a thumb looks at him, He's a extra who looks at Cain when carter asks for a beer in a thin glass And wasn't Jimmy nail a extra in get carter
Hey Eddy, just thought I would warn you, you are being stalked by a blonde lady in very bright trousers. I think I have spotted the same woman in the background of some of your other videos. Probably a CZcams stalker, one of the downsides of fame. 😉🥴😉 Great video.
Ha ha well spotted Shud give you the VAR job 😂😂👍 could be invaluable info when argument s arises in the pub especially the pub quiz Which pub did Caine ? Wrong!!! haha keep up the interesting work it's great 👍👍👍👍
Hi Eddie! Just need to correct you on a date? You said (40) years back? It’s 51 as it was the year of my birth! And also a small fact for you to look at! The old fella with the flat cap !! If you watch him with his pint look at his hand? And count! He has 5 fingers and one thumb!
the long bar, check out the old fellow with the cap on, who was an extra, when he picks up his pint to have a drink he actually has 5 fingers 1 thumb a was told its true , bowers all night breakfast that was our seating arrangement back in early 70s the days of the Mayfair where jack and his niece are sitting, henrys barber next door where we would get a skinhead hair cut in 1970,
Does anybody miss the multi story car park? I know i do, it was as familiar a sky line to me all my life as the tyne bridge... just a snippet to end with. Get carter the film, set in our very own gods country, as you know. But the book saw jack travel up to Doncaster to avenge his brothers death
"Awight" there, Michael ? 😉😅 You need a spot at the comedy club up the road Eddy! Factoid Friday for me! Howay the Toon for Sundays game.......its coming up!? 😉🙏👏
It proves he didn’t walk directly across the road into the Victoria Comet, which is claimed in writing by the pub. In addition, you’ll see in comments on here that family members are aware that the scene was filmed in ‘The Long bar’ (not the VC). And hating to state the obvious, if the scene was actually filmed in the VC, why go to all the trouble to show him walking towards the The North Eastern Bar and not directly across the road into the VC. All added up, it seems proof enough 👍🏻
@@TynesideLife As i said i'm not disputing the claims but the film has plenty places where he's in a journey where he ends up somewhere else in the next clip. You could fessibly watch him go in the door of that pub and the indoor shot would be somewhere else. I'm just saying the footage misleads throughout the movie
@@redf7209 I accept your broad point. thankfully however, I haven’t produced a video about the movie. I’ve produced a video about a specific claim, about a specific scene in a very famous movie for this area. The evidence pretty much is categorically at odds with the ‘tourism’ claim made by the VC
By the way the remake of Get Carter + Italian Job are absolutely garbage I'd recommend avoiding them.

it was Blackhall where they filmed the ending with the coal scenes
yes the very end of the film was with he buckets, but there were shots filmed along the coal staithes at North Blyth @@whiterat1977

They used to call it the Spit n Vomit years ago. Was my haunt when it was O’Neil’s.
