Warner Bros. is bringing writer/director Mike Hodges' Get Carter (1971) and Stephen Kay's remake (2000) to Blu-ray this April. The original film stars Michael Caine, Ian Hendry and John Osborne, with the remake casting Sylvester Stallone in the Caine role and co-starring Miranda Richardson, Rachael Leigh Cook and Mickey Rourke. Both street on April 22, 2014.
Get Carter (1971) Synopsis: A vicious London gangster, Jack Carter (Caine), travels to Newcastle for his brother's funeral. He begins to suspect that his brother's death was not an accident and sets out to follow a complex trail of lies, deceit, cover-ups and backhanders through Newcastle's underworld, leading, he hopes, to the man who ordered his brother killed.
Get Carter (2000) Synopsis: It's not his turf. But it is his war. Las Vegas muscle and glitz meets dot-com, triple-latte Seattle, is a Vegas mob enforcer named Jack Carter (Stallone) who prowls the Northwest city to smoke out his brother's killer.
Complete tech specs and special features have yet to be revealed.

Interesting. I thought the trailers for the Michael Caine film were incredibly cheesy. The Stallone version is gritty and believable. Thus, my preference for the Stallone version. I think the character he plays in Get Carter is also one of the most sincere, genuine performances I`ve seen - thinking specifically about his clumsy, desperate attempts to console the victim...
I'm not trying to put you on the spot, Warlock, but when you mention just seeing the trailers, you haven't actually seen the original. I haven't either, but it's considered to be a classic, hard, British gangster film. Been wanting to see it for a while.

Warlok, you managed to find the only other person in the world who liked get carter remake with stallone!! Ha ha, just funning mate.
You both really should see the original. Watch out for the throwaway lines - they really are key to the plot.

You're a big man, but you're in bad shape. With me it's a full time job. Now behave yourself.
