Yo Folks,
I just seen GET CARTER (the original version wif Michael Caine) based upon the recommendation of the head man at Insurgence Records in Toronto.
I always thought GET CARTER was a wack film with that washed up Mickey Rourke and that penis-pump having dude Slyvester Styllone, but apparently I woz wrong.
Back in the day, Michael Caine set the world straight that if you kill a dude's brother, you're in for a long night. Along the way he drinks a lot of scotch, finds out his niece is a porn star, smacks up a few women (bad guys!) and busts ass on many a foe. Roughneck Business!
Yeah, it's that Micahel Caine. The same shirtlifter from BLAME IT ON RIO. Even more amazing is that he does all the business in a mac raincoat.
I won't give away the ending but it's well worth giving it a view. Other worthwhile films from the period are LONG GOOD FRIDAY (starring socialist movie star Bob Hoskins) and BRONCO BULLFROG.
Probably the coolest thing about action films from the late 60's (like FRENCH CONNECTION and TALKING OF PELHAM 1-2-3) is that all the stars are in their 40's and balding, fat, rotten teeth, chain smoke cigarettes and drink whisky. And they spend a lot of time in B&B's. That's so much more dope than anything in the last decade. These days, it's like you have to be a model just to be a lowlife.
NYCF and Insurgence Records should raise the cash to do a few film remakes and star Jonny Metro and Comando Papa Frita (halfpint). I'm tired of all the pretty motherfuckers hogging the spotlight. Somebody needs to give these broke-down looking brothers a shot, too- just like they did in the 60's.
