Agreed!!! I was just thinking about what a brilliant and badass film this is. Carter does nothing but kick ass, beep, and drink in Newcastle all the while investigating his brothers un natural death. Great ultraviolent film from the same period of time as Dirty Harry and Death Wish. I can empathize. I like his style. "Worst movie ever" ??? Do me a favor

I think that that was obvious once he nominated "Shaft" as the benchmark film of 1971.

You are not supposed to give away spoilers without warning. Thanks a lot for letting me know how it ends.

^The movie has been out for 41 years. A little late to worry about spoilers, no?

Naturally most of us have a slew of oldies we've yet to see, and having them spoiled does not do any good. The fact it is being discussed here tells you that it is still relevant. It's easier to follow a rule not to spoil ANY movie than to declare spoilers fair game for old movies. There are so many movies much older even than this one that I intend to see. Warning people of spoilers is the decent thing to do regardless. There's even a Spoiler markup button, so it couldn't get much fricken easier.

^Best thing to do is watch the old movies first and then come here.

That's a very douchey attitude you've got there.

It was made in various Tyneside locations and both Newcastle and South Shields are there.

GET CARTER WITH MICHAEL CAINE AND TERENCE RIGBY IS ONE OF MY 10 FINEST EVER.STALLONE'S WAS WEAK AND SHAFT OR WHATEVER THEY CALL IT IS RUBBISH.SAMUEL JACKSON IS A FARCE.
YOUNG AMERICANS,HARVEY KEITEL,THE LATE TERENCE RIGBY AND A FINE CAST IS EXCELLENT.

Sam Jackson has nothing to do with the version of Shaft the OP was talking about, it starred Richard Roundtree.

Waitaminute. I thought all the other films on IMDB were the worst films ever made. I mean, they all say so somewhere in their message boards.
How about taking a hike until your hat floats?
What I had in mind was boxing the compass.

You're so right. Every great film ever made, there will be someone in the message boards saying it's one of the worst, or at least that it sucks and doesn't know what the fuss is about. Never fails. I even look for those posts now!

Anybody who uses the phrase "the Stallone versionwas okay" has to be a troll.
Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?

People are allowed to like the Stallone version and dislike the good version, they're just opinions.

Read my post. I didn't say people weren't entitled to their opinion, I was simply commenting on the motivation of the op.

Jeremy you are one mixed up fool.MICHAEL CAINE AND THE ENTIRE CAST OF GET CARTER WERE OUTSTANDINGLY REALISTIC,A SLICE OF REAL LIFE,SHOT IN ENGLAND WITH EVERYTHING DONE WELLA CULT CLASSIC.
STALLONE RUINS EVERYTHING HE TOUCHES AND HE SHOULD NEVER BE PERMITTED TO MAKE A SEQUEL TO ANYTHING.
