Aside from Frank Kelly as the prison screw and the obvious John Le Mesurier (Sgt Wilson from Dad's Army) as the governor, I just realised for the first time in this watchthrough that the irate CCTV guy (around 1:25:45 in this reaction) is the late John Louis Mansi, who played Von Smallhausen in Allo Allo.

Surprised you never mentioned Benny Hill

The interior of the prison at the beginning was filmed at Kilmainham Gaol in Dublin, Ireland, built in the 1790's and decommissioned about 130 years later. It's preserved as a museum now after being restored in the 1960's, so they must have filmed there soon after it was restored.

A bit of trivia, the prison officer at the start, who tells Croker to keep his voice down, was Frank Kelly - Father Jack in Father Ted.

Yea alot of quotes and scenes I have heard before in other shows. That's wild bud 👍

My favourite solution for the ending was the Mafia found them and turned up in 2 helicopters with a rope strung between them to lift it up....

In my mind they tied their football scarves together and made a sort of noose to hook over the gold to pull it to them. Probably wouldn't have worked but still :D

Never actually seen this before, was only aware of the (literal) cliffhanger ending as it's been referenced quite a bit in other media over the years (along with the "bloody doors" line!) By the way, according to Google that parking fee of £200 in 1969 converts to $4,100 today!

Danny

In the scene which you mentioned was it a highway or whatever, its actually the roof of the Fiat factory. It has a test track for the cars on the roof

Danny

All that gold in todays money would be worth over $130 million . Even those wrecked sports cars are big money now. The red one at the start is $1 million alone , his silver Aston Martin can easy fetch $500 thousand and the 2 jags over $100 thousand each

Thanks bud I'll check it out 👍

Would love see Zulu here. Dunno how popular itd be but a much watch film

Jay

People have been trying to figure out a solution to that ending for years. This is apparently one solution that works: https://youtu.be/wEpbkk26RcA

If you want to see a young Michael Caine you should watch Zulu. That's another cracking 60s movie. Psycho as well would be a quality film to watch

Toby Mann

"You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!" :D
