Yes. London in 1974 no " pollution" then. 2024 the pollution has over run the country let alone London. And no films like this anymore.When Britain was still great ( just).

its so difficult to decide what to do when we meet famous people. i ve not met many famous peeps, i met one of red dwarf cast, i like the actor. but a momentary hello and appreciative i think your v funny was all i could muster.
Thank you for uploading . One of my all time favourite Tv shows. And the unforgettable Edward Woodward. A brilliant actor good singer and a thoroughly decent guy.
Great performance from Ed Woodward ... gritty and realistic without going over the top and complemented by the others including Russell Hunter who was perfectly matched as "Lonely" ... top acting
Spoke to him in a hotel in Edinburgh a couple of years before his death. He was there with his wife Michelle and the Dotrice family.Lovely bloke and picked up my Durham accent straight away.Sadly missed.
What a simple yet thrilling film with a top cast of Seventies' British acting talent. I missed this sort of thing being very small back then, but I find this the antidote to the rot that can be found on the crap-pump these days, and relish the meandering but clever storylines and the actors acting and not merely standing there looking pretty. Thanks, John. As an additional bit of hilarious interest, I see that big Dave Prowse has had his Wurzel accent dubbed again!
I walked passed Russell Hunter at a glasgow scottish parliament rally in 1987,, he said "hello" to me as he walked passed me. I thought he was nice guy to to say hello.
Decade before he became “the Napoleon of Crime” aka Professor James Moriarty, the criminal mastermind and formidable enemy of Sherlock Holmes (the late and great Jeremy Brett)
This is excellent, can't believe I've not seen or heard of this before. Feels so fresh even all these years later. The lengths he goes to to prevent Schneider's weekend trip was very enjoyable to watch!
People often use the word "underrated" when referring to very good actors! Woodward was not underrated but on the contrary, he was highly rated as a serious actor and rightly so.
given the age of the film i'm surprised that it's so popular - watch it regularly - if only the t.v. series was made to the same standard we could watch the series over and over
Thank you very much for posting this clip. I always thought Russell Hunter was just so damn good. That fear he projects on screen - it's like for real. Just like Woodwards anger. Great stuff.
Just so glad to watch Edward Woodward. An incredible actor, singer and what a sense of humor. They can't find another "Equalizer" either. He's the best. Love him, Michele and their daughter Emily Beth. May God bless them. 🌹
A junk yard as a clever front, but a Rolls with a special licence plate as means of transport... It's this kind of frivolities that must rather amuse Russian spies in London :0)
@10th mountain division You're not forced to read mine either. And as to "what of it?", how does your whining about black people have anything to do with this rather enjoyable and unfairly overlooked film?
i can see why people use to like this i was born in 1968 but i can just remember my mum watching this better than any show on today with such a great actor
I was 7 years old when a magnum for Schneider was first show on TV, over the years I've watched it many times and each time it becomes more relevant in many ways, it must have been 50 years ahead of its self, Woodward played Callan well but lonely (my favourite, Russel Hunter) was a great supporting actor you couldnt help feeling sorry for him, allways in way above his head and as he often said "Mr Callan, i dont want to do this dont make me" . . Meres. Toby Valentine was also a great actor .they dont make them like that any more,
What a brilliant anti-hero, been wanting see this film for along time. Thank you for uploading this film. Old Woodward was a very good, much missed actor.
The scenes where Callan visits Hunter are very reminiscent of the scenes when Harry Palmer visits Colonel Ross in The Ipcress File. Never noticed that before.
I saw this film recently on television. The Jaguar in the car chase was manufactured in 1968 according to the registration number so would have only been five years old in 1973. A shame such a relatively young car got wrecked. In the 1971 film Villain starring Richard Burton a 3.8 litre Jaguar S Type, manufactured 1963 - 68, gets destroyed in a getaway scene.
+Villy Vassell John says... We could have had a thriving film industry, knocking out a dozen good films like this a year. Alas, the Treasury thought the money would be better spent on expanding the secret services and Trident.
Superb! Dave Prowse was one of my father's best friends in the 60's -- they were both BAWLA weightlifting champions. I remember thinking he was a real giant when I was a little boy. :0)
what happened to the swinging light globe (evoking sinister subterranean rooms and secret goings on) and haunting 'Callan' theme music. One of the best intros ever
A real document of the time Eric Porter is at his duplicitous best, Peter Egan, great as the smarmy ex Guardsman and Edward Woodward peerless as the world weary yet experienced working class Callan,
A beautifully spartan & understated movie drama that typified Callan as a TV cult series. Just enough extra money and interesting location shooting to give it a sense of `place', and - but for the charming absence of technology - would pass muster even today. Many thanks for sharing...
What a great film! I loved this series on T V and for once the big screen didn't ruin it. Brilliant acting as well. One small criticism, the fight between Toby and Callan. Hmm, I reckon Emma Peel could have finished them both off with a swift kick to the cobblers. It didn't spoil it though, well done, John, thanks for sharing this.
@@JohnMillingtonAEIOU They were making 'Callan' TV shows for about a decade before this film came out. 'The Section' as described in 'Callan' is a fantasy, they spend their time hunting other spies.
I was thinking that Schneider sent the Greek and his muscle because Schneider was checking up on Callan because someone told Schneider that Callan had done time. So that Callan's stooge would have had essentially nothing to do with that. Makes real world sense. But such is not what Callan figured. Callan's little brain doesn't start ticking over on the matter until well past the hour. But, in any case, one can see how the German mind worked here. The Greek inquiry is to do solely with the prison record, as he was told of, rather than a more general interrogation.
If you could take the very best of what you know of Edward Woodward and distill it into a TV series spanning both the black & white and colour generation along with a movie and the occasional special, then Callan would be it.
Superb big-screen adaptation of the 1967 pilot A MAGNUM FOR SCHNEIDER. Great acting, loads of action, Callan conditioning his hands in a bucket of sand before chopping down huge David Prowse. Pity Anthony Valentine couldn't reprise his role as Meres, but at least we had wonderful Russell Hunter as Lonely. This was Callan's only big screen adventure as far as I know. Time for a remake?
+rdjhardy John says... This holds its own against Hollywood "blockbusters". It gives me nightmares to think it nearly went out of the public domain. Thanks for watching it and keeping it alive. John.
Did you see "Darth" doing his thing in A Clockwork Orange? With the right script and director he could have been Britains best-ever villain. Would have made Vinnie Jones look like a pussy cat.
+john l millington The first 2 seasons of Callan are marginally available. They didn't save them, and the quality is horrendous. Callan 3:1 starts with Callan being released from treatment after he's killed his boss, Hunter. And he goes back to see the new Hunter to get his job back. It goes on from there. The picture quality is fine, the story is good, and the acting is excellent. I've watched it twice already. So yes, I think it's one of the better episodes because of what it is and how it's presented.
It's great to see Edward Woodward and Russell Hunter again, in their respective roles. This film lacks the gritty atmosphere of the series but is quite watchable.
I remember watching Callan in the 1970s and enjoying the tv shows. Seem to remember at the start of every episode there were a bare lit, light bulb pendulating in a small room. Maybe my memory is incorrect cos I didn't see this at the start of this show. And he had a side kick called Lonely. Memory might be wrong though.
Fun Fact: Yossi Cohen, the Chief of the Mossad, said that this TV show made him wanting to be a Spy. Another Fun Fact: his Mossad nickname was "Callan".
Wow! What a find! Thank you for... 'uploading'?... this. This gave my brother one of his favourite film quotes... "I hit him. I hit him and he died!" 😆
i never understood his treatment of lonely. seemed unnecessarily cruel and petty. BO he knew he had it and was sensitive about it. Seemed an easy target, bullying relationship. yet he seemed to like him.
No Anthony Valentine as Meers. Hmmmmmm. David Prowse aka Darth Vader as the Heavy for the Arms dealer. Too much. A damn good film with a good solid story, no cgi, No mindless violence as such. A Spy with a conscience.

This is excellent, can't believe I've not seen or heard of this before. Feels so fresh even all these years later. The lengths he goes to to prevent Schneider's weekend trip was very enjoyable to watch!
Loved Callan, I happen to think Edward Woodward was so underrated as a serious actor.
Let's not forget that dude playing his boss he was perfect in The Wild Geese .

Not by the likes us Rob

given the age of the film i'm surprised that it's so popular - watch it regularly - if only the t.v. series was made to the same standard we could watch the series over and over
Thank you very much for posting this clip. I always thought Russell Hunter was just so damn good. That fear he projects on screen - it's like for real. Just like Woodwards anger. Great stuff.
and to think he was first choice to play Mr Humphries in Are You Being Served
between this film and "get carter" we've got two of the best british films
Callan was and still is top notch TV.
Remember Russell Hunter playing Captain Uvarnov in the Robots of death(Dr Who-Tom Baker era) Great actor and distinctive voice.
Edward Woodward had screen presence. A top notch actor. Some have it and some do not - he did.
He and Anthony Hopkins would have made a great team. "For Whom the Bell Tolls". Throw in Robert Morley as their Boss.
I think he was classically trained.
Peter Egan in this, playing a character that Martin probably always suspected he really was.
Just so glad to watch Edward Woodward. An incredible actor, singer and what a sense of humor. They can't find another "Equalizer" either. He's the best. Love him, Michele and their daughter Emily Beth. May God bless them. 🌹

Arguably one of the best car chase scenes in the movies
A realistic chase, without needless stunts. A shame they destroyed an immaculate S-type Jag...a beautiful car. Callan's Range Rover was cool too.
So this is what the Equalizer was up to before he decided to tweak his name and relocate to New York. Awesome 😅

Amazing that this was also done in 55 minutes for the Armchair Theatre pilot in black and white .
An era when all baddies drive Jags!
In real life too. I remember at the Crown Court trials all the bigshot gangsters used to wear sheepskin coats and they always rolled up in a Jag.
Very underated was lonely
Very high quality english movie...Eric Poter ...from Forsythe saga.....many years ago....Thanks a lot....
I used to love Callan, RIP Edward Woodward.
Brilliant tv series as with modern "music "they can't make quality like this anymore
The title is A Magnum for Scheinder, I saw it years ago.
*Schneider
Very accurate title.
I thought Anthony Valentine was the original Toby Meres. I didn't realise that Peter Egan played him first.
Anthony Valentine wasn’t available for the film so Peter Egan took the role. Peter Bowles played the role in the tv pilot .

Five years was old for a car then. They rusted away as you looked at them.
Most wrecked cars were not usually the ones shown driving about. Older cars, often with one side destroyed were used for the final shots.
All the villains drove a Jag.

Who'd believe Russell Hunter was really from Glasgow!
Lonely played the role of Ferret in Minder alongside George Cole.
Russell Hunter also starred in a sitcom with Bill Maynard years ago. It was called 'The Gaffer'
Thanks for the fun movie. I had never heard of this series before and really enjoyed it!
