WhileGet Carterflopped hard at the box office, grossing only $19.4M of its $63.6M budget, Stallone now reflects on it fondly. He believes his tough, fish-out-of-water role in Seattle somehow laid the groundwork for Dwight’s ruthless yet out-of-place persona in Tulsa. Heasserted,
It’s interesting that 25 years ago I was acting in one of my BEST films, the underrated ‘Get Carter’ and now that I look back at it, it looks like I was subconsciously preparing myself to play ‘Dwight Manfredi’ in ‘Tulsa King’ 25 years later! Let’s just call it a prequel!
ThoughGet Carterdidn’t land critically or commercially,Stallone sees the connection. Both characters disrupt their environments with a no-nonsense attitude. The key difference, though? Carter is driven by vengeance, while Dwight looks to build a criminal empire.
