On this day, 2 years ago. I sat in bed and said to myself, 'Why haven't you finally made that compilation of Jim McDonald from Coronation Street, absolutely battering people to Motรถrhead? So I did.'

Enjoy! It will forever be my greatest contribution to society.

Humbly, it might have been cool to intro with him doing a cockney accent (badly) from The Firm.
Luv it

Yeah, I didn't even realise until I finished making it how that crash zoom worked. I'm trying to remember what causes that reaction (maybe a gunshot or a loud bang). It's Alf Roberts in the car briefly too.

He could kick heads in with his eyes closed but that man could not break down a door to save his life.

Splitting between blokes during "double stake or split" was a touch of class ๐Ÿฅ‚

There was a very obvious bit of wink nudge earlier when I put the 'Ace of Spades' line as he was literally smashing a window with a spade.

It almost felt too on the nose but it lined up perfectly ๐Ÿคฃ

Blimey! I'd forgotten what a force of nature Jim was (so I had, so I had โ˜˜๏ธ). Excellent work.

Oh thought you did. In fairness this one did well and kick-started making the rest.

Fun fact, after weeks of finding the clips, this was edited in bed, ON MY PHONE whilst absurdly depressed about a prior landlord trying to take all my spare money. The things pressure can push you to do eh.

A friend of mine has just rightly pointed out that this is up there with the Sean Bean "Bastard!" compilation.

The nicest compliment I got was from @blindboyboatclub.bsky.social on the other place where I first dropped it.

"This is a perfect music video. It actually makes the song better. And itโ€™s a banging song"

Really made me up that.

In the Jim McDonald rabbit hole that Iโ€™m now in, this fact about the actor is outstanding, though Citation Needed Is doing some very heavy lifting.

I used to know his mother, a lovely wee quite posh lady from Enniskillen.

Ah thank you very much sir.

Planning to leech off it's goodwill like a true one hit wonder should.

Only two years? Jaysus... did the actor turn out to be a right wing walloper?

Excellent work. Just a shame that 'Jim' was the loveliest of blokes in comparison to the real life racist shit that is Charles Lawson.

Not the brightest bulb with some of his statements is he.

He did actually get in touch and said he really enjoyed it AND didn't kick my door in, so I'll give him that.

It might sound daft because it's just a silly video I made when really depressed, but I am genuinely proud of it. I didn't think I could edit or there would be an audience who 'got' this very daft idea in my head. But I'm happy people find/found it entertaining, even Big Jim himself. Thank you all x

you have to admire Jim's attention to a perfect shave round that moustache between all the running and punching
