That scene was laughable. The way he just keeps hitting, saying something, hitting him, saying something. It was just funny. Then he just lifts him up over the ledge and off the building. It's like the whole scene was done in slow motion. He slowly beats him up and slowly throws him off the building.
In the Get Carter remake, when Jack goes after Eddie, it's a lot like this scene, but done so much better. Eddie says, "Jack, don't kill me, man." Then Jack says, "You killed yourself." Then it cuts to him leaving with the sound of a car alarm going off. You can see Eddie dead on the car. -

You're not supposed to root for the Carter character in the original. If you think it's funny to see a man pummelled and then thrown off of a parking garage roof by a vicious thug then what does that say about your level of desensitization? I have not seen the remake but I get the sense that it's just the standard action film of Sly killing baddies and the audience being forced to root him on like mindless zombies.

always think its pretty harsh when he kills Brumby in the film.
He supplied Carter with some information - i know he was hoping for Carter to do some of his dirty work for him, but to kill him seemed way over the top

No it's exactly what Brumby deserved - he isn't the nice guy he thinks he is. He is complicit in the murder of Frank Carter.
Jack is outraged by that film, in which his 'niece' (I think it's his daughter- as the beaten-up Keith hinted) is being 'done'. He knows Brumby knew about it and his part in getting his brother killed.
