    Mc Q is a bit too downbeat were as Brannigan is a much more fun action movie with particular highlights like knock knock sequence,the fight in the pub, the car chase and poor Tony Robinson getting thrown off his motor cycle at the end of the dock.

    Hi Robbie


    I think Brannigan mentions Jupiter stock in the phone conversation which is later revealed to have plummented in value when the lawyer and Larkin are congratulating themselves.


    The lawyer is having a drink and if you look past his left elbow you can see Brannigan slipping the tracker device in the case whilst giving a wink to Swann!!


    (Only kidding!!!)


    Brannigan takes a wad of money out of the briefcase. The lawyer tells him it is all there and fixes himself a drink and at some point either Brannigan or Swann have sneaked in the tracker device which flys out when the lawyer throws a wad of money to Larkin.



    Hope this explains it for you. I dont have a lost version of the DVD with extras LOL

    The second tracer was slipped into the suitcase of money whilst the lawyer made himself a drink. The tracking device under the car was discovered making him feel safe.


    Brannigan's son (who was an lawyer) had discovered that Larkin (the gangster) and the lawyer had been wiped out finacially by some bad investment scheme.


    I assume the money came from Larkin's gangster friends or was a means of getting money out of Larkin's bank accounts without it being traced.


    Seemed a bit rough to cut his finger off mind you.

    I think the little twists in the storyline plus the good supporting cast help this film enormously. The fact that John was also in good health and mood whilst filming played an important factor too.

    Hi All


    I watched Brannigan tonight.


    Another continuity goof for the record .


    The post van used to collect the ransom changes registration numbers from collecting the post at Piccaddilly to when it leaves for the post office.


    The plate also moves from below the window to just above the bumper.


    Also, spotted in the credits that Christopher Trumbo son of Dalton wrote the screenplay.


    Great show anyway, nice to see car chase over Tower Bridge

    Hi Sally


    I think Brannigan is brilliant too. I was in London around when Brannigan was being filmed although I never knew John Wayne was there let alone filming :cry2:


    Piccadilly Circus is just as I remember it. It a fun movie and a joy to watch.
    :D

    I remember seeing this at school on 16mm around 1976 and being thrilled with it.


    I also was in London when it was being filmed but unfortunately my path never crossed with Duke.


    For these reasons I like this movie despite its weaknesses.


    Funny, I watched it in the home cinema at Christmas and was still entertained by it. Even my 8 year old was entranced with the chase over Tower Bridge. :agent:
