As in the original, Carter is a veteran, big-city gangster who returns to his old hometown to avenge the death of his estranged brother.

!!Tropes:

* AdaptationalAlternateEnding: The film has [[spoiler:Carter survive the entire ordeal and leave for Las Vegas after avenging his brother's death and saying goodbye to Doreen.]]
* AdaptationalHeroism: The film forces Carter into being a good guy, a stark contrast to how the original Carter was a brutal thug who never sought redemption, but rather brutal vengeance.
* AdaptationalNameChange: Carter's brother's name is changed from Frank to Richie, while Paice and Kinnear's respective first names are changed from Eric and Cyril to Cyrus and Jeremy, and Glenda is renamed Geraldine.
* CanonForeigner: The film features the widow of Carter's brother.
* CarChase: The film has two of these.
* CarCushion: This happens to a bouncer named Eddie.
* CompositeCharacter: The 2000 remake's version of Eddie is given Albert Swift's personality and fate.
* DeathByAdaptation:
** [[spoiler: Carter kills Brumby by shooting him in the back in a car park for trying to steal a video disc]].
** Con [=McCarty=] dies in a car chase.
* ForeignRemake: The film transports the British story to America.
* InelegantBlubbering: A weeping Kinnear begs for his life when Carter interrogates him about Richie's death in the forest.
* NotOnTheList: Jack punches a bouncer who says he's isn't on the list, and remarks "Nobody likes the list guy."
* OffIntoTheDistanceEnding: The film ends on this note, with Carter driving back to Las Vegas after avenging his brother's death.
* ShoutOut: Doreen asks Carter why he went away for so long, and he responds, "That's a long story." To which she replies, "It's a long ride back." These lines were also spoken in ''Film/RamboFirstBloodPartII'' when Rambo was speaking with Co-Bao.
* SirSwearsALot: Con [=McCarty=] is this in the 2000 remake.
