Dirty Harry

Tubey · July 3, 2011

Probably my favourite movie of all time. It just oozes brilliance from start to finish, and is superbly watchable to this day - a mental 30 years since it was shot.

Does anybody actually not like this film?

You want to. You might not know it yet, but your inner self wants to.

Harry Callahan: Well, when an adult male is chasing a female with intent to commit rape, I shoot the [Poor language removed]. That's my policy.
The Mayor: Intent? How did you establish that?
Harry Callahan: When a naked man is chasing a woman through an alley with a butcher's knife and a hard-on, I figure he isn't out collecting for the Red Cross!
[walks out of the room]
The Mayor: He's got a point.

I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

Thought this was going to be a Harry Redknapp transfer thread thing then

Gonzales: There is one question, Inspector Callahan: Why do they call you "Dirty Harry"?
De Georgio: Ah that's one thing about our Harry, doesn't play any favorites! Harry hates everybody: Limeys, Micks, Hebes, Fat Dagos, N******, Honkies, Chinks, you name it.
Gonzales: How does he feel about Mexicans?
De Georgio: Ask him.
Harry Callahan: Especially Spics.

The movie is brilliant moment after brilliant moment. I'm watching it now and it's unbelievable to know it's 30 years old.

I always loved the 360 degree shot from the ropftop with the cool Lalo Schiffrin soundtrack.

Made me wee as a filmy.

I shot a .44 Magnum for fathers day here. The one I shot was well maintained, but horribly inaccurate, but a hoot to shoot!

Ah man thought Redknapp had done the dirty.

Great character, made to measure for Eastwood. This interview scene from the Enforcer still gets a giggle. (specifically from 5:00 onward - the shetland pony bit)
