I was 17, when this movie came out. Today, aged 68, I still enjoy Dirty Harry. A young, good looking Clint Eastwood. Great acting. Sadly, they don't make them like this any more.
It's funny, when I watch Gran Torino at the end when he's "shooting" all the bad guys I find myself coming back to this scene, dunno why. Greatest actor of my lifetime, I doubt there will ever be another like Clint.

@@LordZontar YUP! This and the over sugared coffee scene in Sudden Impact are my favorites ! ;) Harry never really gets to enjoy his dining experiences.. :) ruclips.net/video/qoXDzsuqXFg/видео.html
Had? Why past tense? His most recent acting role was in Cry Macho released in 2021, and he is currently directing Juror No. 2 which he co-wrote. He is 93 now, but would you tell him to his face that his acting career is over?
Loved how they made sure Inspector Callahan (Clint Eastwood) is still chewing on that first bite of his hot dog through most of shooting, details like that are what make good old movies "GREAT" and that smile-snicker at the end when he pulls the trigger and no shot is fired is classic.
I love how Harry delivers the line almost amused in this scene, while he later delivers it to Scorpio with absolute venom. It just shows how personal things got with Scorpio and how badly he wants him dead.
Very true the line at the beginning bank scene was casual like a cat playing with a mouse but the same line with Scorpio at the films end shows how Harry despises and must kill this scumbag.
@@todd1606 (click) Dirty Harry: "Ha, I fooled you! The gun's empty." Man: "And I fooled you. I'm just an innocent bystander who came down here to make a deposit! Black lives matter!!!!"
They should have a trigger warning though. The shootings are ok but there are scenes of explicit car exhaust pollution. There were some shockers in the older cars.
@@Marvin-dg8vj that is an interesting observation Marvin!!! Yes, the older cars might have put some pollutants out, but nowhere near as bad - as a single nuclear powerplant accident which will be even more probable with the electric cars that these so-called 'green' people are trying to ram down our throats... Chernobyl, Fukushima , Goiania, Lucens, Kyshtym, Andreev Bay, Chazhma Bay, K-19 sub..... Compared to these polluters, the vehicles producing some smoke is really no big deal, as more accidents and the extremely long term after-effects in an extremely wide-spread area will result with electric vehicles , as several more nuclear powerplants will surely be built to support them....
@@exothermal.sprocket I believe there is usually someone on a movie who s charge of "continuity", i.e. to avoid the very thing you mentioned. But yeah, they miss a lot of things in my experience. Sometimes it's even the camera angle. There's also a chance to catch this stuff in 'editing and post', so maybe some directors don't want to re-do a whole scene, and just cross their fingers hoping no one will notice. HA!
Holy cow!! I was 24 years old when this movie came out, and I have watched it over the many years since. Love it! But....I never recognized "Play Misty for Me" on that theater marquee. Whoever thought of that deserves a commendation: Clint, the producer, or the director! Many thinks for pointing that out!
Yeah, I was going to mention that when I saw that clip two years ago and the phone call interrupted me and now I saw it again and saw also that you saw that as well. I got a good grin on my face when I saw that on the marquee! :-)
Eastwood is so elegant here, the hair, the tall, fat-free but not muscly physique, the smart but not showy clothes, and above all that easy unhurried walk. Class.
I've noticed that in pretty much all his movies, either western or the Dirty Harry flicks, Clint Eastwood carries his revolver like a carpenter carries a claw hammer or a lumberjack carries an axe. It's a tool, and nothing but a tool. Every other actor waves his gun around like a magic sword. Clint just lets it hang from the end of his arm; as an extension of his arm. An exception might be James Garner in his westerns.
Just like all tools it takes training to use a revolver remember in the old west they used em for duelling fun fact the first revolvers made wear pre civil war and the first law enforcement agency to use them was the Texas Rangers they wear made by Colt
dion woollaston I live in Arizona and contrary to popular belief, there wasn't much dueling with pistols. None of this fast draw stuff. Guys just shot it out. And believe it or not, most men carried their pistol in their coat pocket. Out of sight. No holster hanging off the hip. That was called "a Spanish Rig" and it was for show-offs. For sissies. The reason why the gun was hidden in the coat pocket was that it was considered murder to shoot an unarmed man - even in the West. Most guys shot each other from ambush. And usually outside of town. Pick him out of the saddle with a carbine. Lots of quarrels were settled that way. Actually, no different than the Mob used to do.

This is a classic. I used to never like the old Clint Eastwood films, but grew to like the more recent ones. Buth the Dirty Harry ones are now some of my favorites. Good storyline, good acting, good everything. Not like the garbage coming out of Hollywood today.

Depends on what you mean, Justin. In terms of cinematic artistry, probably not. But in terms of a Top-5 iconic scene ever? ABSOLUTELY. Hell, I think it could be THE most iconic movie scene ever, to be honest. The day Clint passes on (which I hope isn't for many years still), the news reports will have the 44 mag scene as the preferred lead-in.

"Daddy would you like some sausage" from "Freddie Got Fingered."
Love Don Siegel's direction in this sequence--a non-chalant opening followed by a burst of action that isn't cut from 100 different angles every .001 seconds. You can tell what's going on and it's intense.
Dirty Harry and The French Connection and Shaft all released during 1971, what a year for urban crime dramas and other awesome movies like, Straw Dogs and Walkabout and Billy Jack and A Clockwork Orange and Nicholas and Alexandra and The Devils.
Not as good as 1977❤Smokey and the Bandit, Saturday night fever 🕺 and the Spy that loved me ! Also there was this Science fiction flick do the rounds as well. Forgotten what it was called.
I remember skipping school to see this. I was a senior in high school so my friends and I considered it a ‘senior skip day.’ Good times. We could still smoke in the theater too.
@@sentero1856 everyone feels like times used to be simpler. They always have and they always will. Just find the stuff that future kids will envy, and do it.
You can feel the heat of that warm summer day. Love the way he just casually goes about the business still chewing his hot dog. Todays actors don’t even come close to 1% of his coolness. As a kid wanted to be like him.
I also felt the summer with all it’s memories during that specific time of the day , while he walked to the bank, sad that seems that summer joy disappeared these years
I come back to this scene and movie every so often and it just puts a smile on my face. Harry was my childhood hero and he still is after all these years. I thought more of him than I did Superman when it came out in the cinemas back in the day.
Saw this movie as an 8 year old kid leaning over the front seat with my parents at the Winchester Drive-in theater in San Jose, Ca. Few years later we moved to a small town in the mountains and they bought a movie theater. I ran the projectors for 4 years throughout high-school. Loved this movie.
Mitchell Pak in the movie If you really look at it close the firearm he's using is not the Model 29 Smith & Wesson it is a similar model 57 which shoots the 41 caliber magnum both guns compared to them side-by-side look identical in size and weight.
@@XwaD666 the up close shots yes you can see the 44 Magnum lettering but I believe that for most of the time it was the model 57 that was being used for the shooting scenes and I also have these two models the Model 29 and the model 57 you look at them side-by-side they're identical in size and in weight .
There is a lot on RUclips about the 29-2 and its use in the film. There were several with different barrel lengths, but the main one was 6.5 inches. I have three and they are all nasty, but they do not sound like a cannon. I think that was all special effects.
Yep, shooting in public at an armed robber who could’ve grabbed a hostage had he missed the robber, which would’ve ended up being terrible because now you’ve got a bank robbery AND a hostage situation, and he’s sure as hell lucky he didn’t shoot any civilians on the street who were behind the robber. Which by the way, bullets travel like crazy. And if it hits just right, can go through walls. Also lucky that the car that turned over didn’t swerve into other nearby civilians. So yeah, we don’t need the Dirty Harry’s in the world. But we sure as hell can love em in the fictional world.
Showing Play Misty For Me at the movie theater as he's walking in , the best classic scene ever. The look on his face as he takes a bite of his hot dog and the bank alarm sounds. They don't make movies like this anymore ! 😊
That wasn't Clint's call. Though maybe a suggestion. Dirty Harry, at least part of it, was Clint's directing debut. The director was violently ill, or something, and Clint ended up directing the scene with the suicide jumper. That was the beginning of something great.
my old man and I and my brother were watching a dvd of this a few years back and after this scene my pop wanted to rewind the scene to see if he actually shot six rounds...he did ...and at the end when he was chasing Scorpio he shot only five....Clint loves his details...classic movie
Thanks for that detail pal! I have watched these great films so many times! Obviously he only shot five against 'Scorpio', cos he shot him with the sixth! But Great to see so many other fans of these films! dx
When I was growing up I had a great friend, Matt was his name, this was our favorite movie, I drove my mom crazy talking on the phone to him quoting that part and other parts. Those were great days, Matt left this crazy world in November, Rest In Peace my brother 🙏🙏
Took me a lot of views over the years to realize that when he walks into and out of the eatery the theater in the background had "Play Misty for me" on it! Great plug!! This is still one of my all time favorite movies!!
He's been laying there bleeding. I doubt he would have enough energy to grab the gun and shoot him. OK, so the gun is empty. Does that prevent Dirty Harry from kicking the weapon out of his grip? And maybe using the wrong end of the gun on the side of his head? The man's good sense warned him in time before he did something stupid.
infinitecanadian key word is "most" ppl. Not everybody acts the same when injured, especially if your body is kicking in adrenaline you basically feel numb then pain.
Only problem is this. The reboot would have huge SJW, BLM hidden political agendas all through it. And it would definitely paint gun owners & cops as merciless killers with an anti-2A vibe to it

Summer of 1971. Granny took me and younger brother to see this. So glad she did! Told my uncle, her youngest son, about it and he went to see it the following Sunday. One of the best films I've seen to date . . . .
I just realized, after all these years, it was the same at the end. He didn't want to kill the bank robber guy, and he knew the guy would have the sense not to risk it. That's why he psyched the guy out instead of killing him. He did know that he had a bullet left with Scorpio, and he PSYCHED SCORPIO into drawing first so he could blow him away. What a great piece of storytelling.
I still remember being 12 years old watching this movie at The Broadway Theatre in Portland Oregon where I was raised. My mom came down after I watched it 3 times and dragged me out by the ear. I was a Portland cop for 35 years and had the time of my life thanks to Harry.
What has happened to San Francisco? I went there in there 1990's and could not stand all the homeless people and crime. But that was virtually zero compared to what has happened to California since then. Dirty Harry San Francisco was wonderful until the Dems wasted the place. It is so sad.
I just realized how nonchalant the hot dog guy is as he serves Harry and Harry tells him call the cops, he's probably thinking Bank Robbery and Callahan's in my joint, must be Tuesday
I've seen plenty movies 🎬 through the year's and will continue; but this is still my All Time Favorite Movie 1971 "DIRTY HARRY". Never grows old for me. I watched this movie about a zillion times and still catch something that I never noticed before.
Awesome catch!! How many of us have seen this particular scene and never realized that! Play Misty for Me is one of my favorite Clint movies that never gets discussed.....Cheers
This scene is so well done, that it's exhilarating in sort of an odd, perverse way. Mostly because of Eastwood's calm, casual walk across the intersection, still chewing his beloved hot dog, and then suddenly opening up his 44 magnum, as if it were an 88 mm cannon.. Very clever, deft acting by the underrated, Clint..
@@matoko123 Thanks for your comment. What I mean is that Clint is underrated as an actor in the film industry, and he shouldn't be.. He is thought of as a movie star and a great director, but overlooked in his ability as an actor because of his subtle acting style. Actually, he's excellent. All best.
I remember, as a kid that went to the movies every weekend, standing outside in minus 25F degree cold winter weather, waiting to get into the second showing of Dirty Harry. The wait was worth frozen feet, hands and ears. lol
I like his auto. "DH" still runs well as a cop movie, and its also a nice period piece of early 70's San Francisco. Really hurts nowadays watching those beautiful cars getting trashed!
Yea that was the thing in this scene, mentally abusing a black man. Even if Callahan made a mistake, and shot the guy in the head, his whole precinct would back him up, no questions asked. It's just a black guy anyway.
I just love how Harry takes a big bite of his hotdog and then calmly chews it as he’s walking across the street shooting at the bank robbers and a moving car! Then the “well do ya punk” scene plays…one of my favorites in all the Dirty Harry movies.
The sound of dial telephone takes me back
😂😂😂 so true..

Yes, I felt so nostalgic hearing that sound
And oh those numbers full of 9s and zeros!!
I still have three of those phones in my house - They still work and I still use them. Western Electric made some good quality stuff!

@edwardcricchio6106 😂 Harry should have just wasted him anyway
They're completely different in every way, and should be.... but definitely make that comparison as if you discovered something clever.
Better than most? I'd go with "all."
Clint is over 90 y.o. and more of a badass now than half of today's action stars.
But is he as pretty as Tom cruise ?
You can feel the heat of that warm summer day. Love the way he just casually goes about the business still chewing his hot dog.
Todays actors don’t even come close to 1% of his coolness. As a kid wanted to be like him.
I also felt the summer with all it’s memories during that specific time of the day , while he walked to the bank, sad that seems that summer joy disappeared these years
No ketchup either🌭
Even when he sees he's been clipped it don't matter!
As a 61 year old I still do :)
San Francisco? Summer heat? Hahahahahaha
A gifted actor and an equally gifted director, one of the goats for sure
I come back to this scene and movie every so often and it just puts a smile on my face. Harry was my childhood hero and he still is after all these years. I thought more of him than I did Superman when it came out in the cinemas back in the day.
@you hev squirrel We can pretend though eh? Growing up is boring, there's more to life my friend.
@you hev squirrel Amazing advice from someone who purposely chose you hev squirrel as a username- go on with your bad self !
A huge smile.....enough said!
We need a hundred guys like this hanging around retail stores in San Francisco doing this.
Saw this movie as an 8 year old kid leaning over the front seat with my parents at the Winchester Drive-in theater in San Jose, Ca. Few years later we moved to a small town in the mountains and they bought a movie theater. I ran the projectors for 4 years throughout high-school. Loved this movie.
The sound made by that .44 is an all-time classic.
Mitchell Pak in the movie If you really look at it close the firearm he's using is not the Model 29 Smith & Wesson it is a similar model 57 which shoots the 41 caliber magnum both guns compared to them side-by-side look identical in size and weight.
That's a myth. It's a Model 29. They had to contact S&W directly.
@@garyquail5075 There's a scene where you can see "44 Magnum" on the barrel.
@@XwaD666 the up close shots yes you can see the 44 Magnum lettering but I believe that for most of the time it was the model 57 that was being used for the shooting scenes and I also have these two models the Model 29 and the model 57 you look at them side-by-side they're identical in size and in weight .
There is a lot on RUclips about the 29-2 and its use in the film. There were several with different barrel lengths, but the main one was 6.5 inches. I have three and they are all nasty, but they do not sound like a cannon. I think that was all special effects.
The world would be a lot safer if we had more "Dirty Harry's" walking around. Damn I love this movie.
lol stop
Or Charles Bronson, a TRUE VET
There Called the police
Back when the streets were clean, too.
Yep, shooting in public at an armed robber who could’ve grabbed a hostage had he missed the robber, which would’ve ended up being terrible because now you’ve got a bank robbery AND a hostage situation, and he’s sure as hell lucky he didn’t shoot any civilians on the street who were behind the robber. Which by the way, bullets travel like crazy. And if it hits just right, can go through walls. Also lucky that the car that turned over didn’t swerve into other nearby civilians.
So yeah, we don’t need the Dirty Harry’s in the world. But we sure as hell can love em in the fictional world.
Showing Play Misty For Me at the movie theater as he's walking in , the best classic scene ever. The look on his face as he takes a bite of his hot dog and the bank alarm sounds. They don't make movies like this anymore ! 😊
Yeh just noticed it too, when your CLINT you can do ANYTHING!!!!!!
That movie and this one, which I think he had equity interest in, made him rich as I recall reading.
Was about to point out the movie sign myself, nice touch of humor....
eating a Hamburger in Magnum Force at the airport when trouble broke out
That wasn't Clint's call. Though maybe a suggestion. Dirty Harry, at least part of it, was Clint's directing debut. The director was violently ill, or something, and Clint ended up directing the scene with the suicide jumper. That was the beginning of something great.
my old man and I and my brother were watching a dvd of this a few years back and after this scene my pop wanted to rewind the scene to see if he actually shot six rounds...he did ...and at the end when he was chasing Scorpio he shot only five....Clint loves his details...classic movie
Thanks for that detail pal! I have watched these great films so many times! Obviously he only shot five against 'Scorpio', cos he shot him with the sixth! But Great to see so many other fans of these films! dx
Clint didn't write it, he just had a great role given to him that almost went to Steve McQueen but he refused it
@@1983jblack - I also heard they offer the role to Frank Sinatra also and he turned it down.
Scorpio got the "point" at the cross, can't imagine the pain and to roll away in agony.
When I was growing up I had a great friend, Matt was his name, this was our favorite movie, I drove my mom crazy talking on the phone to him quoting that part and other parts. Those were great days, Matt left this crazy world in November, Rest In Peace my brother 🙏🙏
That man shows up as a gangsta, bank robber, & buddy cop partner. His roles have No Ends.
Took me a lot of views over the years to realize that when he walks into and out of the eatery the theater in the background had "Play Misty for me" on it! Great plug!! This is still one of my all time favorite movies!!
"I gotz to know"
He should've went for it !
He's been laying there bleeding. I doubt he would have enough energy to grab the gun and shoot him. OK, so the gun is empty. Does that prevent Dirty Harry from kicking the weapon out of his grip? And maybe using the wrong end of the gun on the side of his head? The man's good sense warned him in time before he did something stupid.
Clint is such a humane and nice guy.. he let bad guy know..
tenhirankei You know, it's kinda strange that he wasn't holding his arm where he had been wounded. Most people do that if they are hurt and bleeding.
infinitecanadian key word is "most" ppl. Not everybody acts the same when injured, especially if your body is kicking in adrenaline you basically feel numb then pain.
We need more Dirty Harry especially in these present times.
Only problem is this. The reboot would have huge SJW, BLM hidden political agendas all through it. And it would definitely paint gun owners & cops as merciless killers with an anti-2A vibe to it
And less therapists and girly-men
We need Dirty Harry now 👍
My first thought. We need a whole bunch of em…
We've always needed "Dirty Harry" and we will need him in the future.
We need our culture and country back.
Eastwood's Dirty Harry + Bronson's Paul Kersey from Deathwish Make America safe again MASA!
@@markg1531it's not coming back,my friend.
The only thing phony about this scene is there are empty parking spaces on a San Francisco street
There are too many people in the world. FREE AND VOLUNTARY STERILIZATIONS is the only answer!!!

James Mason "well what difference does it make?"
now that was funny
"Hey, I gots to know". Great dialog, great story line, and great acting make a movie great, not lazy CGI.
The black actor showed up in "Sudden Impact" as well. He played a cop that time.
Nothing better than a Dirty Harry Movie. One of the greatest movie stars of all time. Love Clint Eastwood
Second greatest scene in cinematic history.
Second only to the last scene of this film.
There's nothing produced today that comes even close to these old masterpieces.
another troll
@@evanfinch4987 Correct, you trolls are produced at an alarming rate. And the phenomena didn't even exist back then.
When robbing banks, always make sure Clint Eastwood isn't in the nearby vicinity.
Or don't do it during lunch time.
Clint Eastwood would never be in a modern police force, thanks to black lives matters getting him fired years ago.
Eating a Hot Dog :)
@@1sick88lx1 yup with that too😅👍
How could see him he was eating in the restaurant
Most underrated television quote of all time?
"...Oh Shit..."
Solaris he is sad he couldnt finish the hot dog
Film, not TV. 🙄
@@AirwolfArchive: He must be referring to Greg Gutfeld.
Iconic scene. Later the, "Go ahead. Make my day" would become another.
This movie was 50 years ago and Clint Eastwood is still alive until now. Damn.
91 years young this past May (born 5/31/1930)! May you live to be 1000 years old, Clint!
Rite on
@@lumpylumpy3931 Groovy man !
Summer of 1971. Granny took me and younger brother to see this. So glad she did! Told my uncle, her youngest son, about it and he went to see it the following Sunday. One of the best films I've seen to date . . . .
She was a good lady for watching this with you guys.
1:53 I love that a chunk of hot dog bun flies out of his mouth when he yells "halt!"
Can you imagine how stunned the audience were during the original premiere when Harry delivered his "Do I feel lucky" monologue?
I was just thinking that! Minds must have been blown.
I love how he was walking casually across the fire hydrant like a badass.
Clint Eastwood and Charles Bronson. My favourites from those days!
Steve McQueen ?
He didn't "lose track" - he lied. He knew he was out of bullets.
He always knows. He's the big cat. Plays with his food :D
I just realized, after all these years, it was the same at the end. He didn't want to kill the bank robber guy, and he knew the guy would have the sense not to risk it. That's why he psyched the guy out instead of killing him. He did know that he had a bullet left with Scorpio, and he PSYCHED SCORPIO into drawing first so he could blow him away. What a great piece of storytelling.
Always ask yourself "is she still loaded?"
"I gotz to know"
Ya think?
These movies set a standard that has been tried but never surpassed, cinema gold, the hero everybody really wishes for
“I gots to know”. The most underrated line in movie history.
PS. I kept waiting for “Jaffey” to have a flash back and say “it’s josey Wales!!”
Never be another like Clint. One of the greats!!!
San Francisco in 1971 - those were the good ol' way back in the days. 💝
What happened to our nation and our race.i would have gone out there as a tourist then,i was 15...not today.
I still remember being 12 years old watching this movie at The Broadway Theatre in Portland Oregon where I was raised. My mom came down after I watched it 3 times and dragged me out by the ear. I was a Portland cop for 35 years and had the time of my life thanks to Harry.
Thank you for your service.
What has happened to San Francisco? I went there in there 1990's and could not stand all the homeless people and crime. But that was virtually zero compared to what has happened to California since then. Dirty Harry San Francisco was wonderful until the Dems wasted the place. It is so sad.
Cool story
I hope during your career you didn't have to deal with any Ms. Grays (like in The Enforcer) or any captains who needed a five point suppository. LOL!
Too bad what Portland has turned into.
Love the fact the same supporting cast is used in all Clints movies
Imagine the direction this movie takes if Harry did lose track in the all the excitement and blew this guy’s head clean off.
LOL
An iconic classic scene that can never be bettered!
Never get tired seeing Eastwood delivering his trademark lines with that giant gun.... What a classic.
Loved Albert Popwell playing different baddies in Dirty Harry series
The coolest man to ever have lived 🇬🇧
I just realized how nonchalant the hot dog guy is as he serves Harry and Harry tells him call the cops, he's probably thinking Bank Robbery and Callahan's in my joint, must be Tuesday
Or is that Wednesday? Dang, can never remember.
Now if they'll just wait for the cavalry...
Lmao
IKR
That is Woodrow Parfrey, he was in The Outlaw Josey Wales and Bronco Billy too and was a vet of WWII.
My all time favorite scene I just can't stop watching it!❤️🔥
I've seen plenty movies 🎬 through the year's and will continue; but this is still my All Time Favorite Movie 1971 "DIRTY HARRY". Never grows old for me. I watched this movie about a zillion times and still catch something that I never noticed before.
re: "zillion times" = can "zillion" be quantified into a number, please?
One of the best scenes ever put to film.
I just noticed that Play Misty For Me is on the theatre billboard........
Me too! And I have seen this scene at least 100 times.
I was going to say the same thing.
Perhaps it was secretly added after the clip was viewed 50,000 times.
lol, saw your comment after I wrote mine.
Awesome catch!! How many of us have seen this particular scene and never realized that! Play Misty for Me is one of my favorite Clint movies that never gets discussed.....Cheers
Perhaps the most famous quote in any film.
There will never be anything as cool as this.
Stopped a robbery while eating a hot dog? Nice.
Robbers didn't even have the courtesy to let him finish his hotdog.
CBright7831 the best part was he never stop chewing the piece that he was chewing.
And if you notice he did not put ketchup on the hot dog.
@@WakanaGojo86 "Nobody... I mean Nobody... puts ketchup on a hotdog"
@@muddershmucker7374 finally someone replied . Thanks🤗 And yes I was waiting for that line.
This scene is so well done, that it's exhilarating in sort of an odd, perverse way. Mostly because of Eastwood's calm, casual walk across the intersection, still chewing his beloved hot dog, and then suddenly opening up his 44 magnum, as if it were an 88 mm cannon.. Very clever, deft acting by the underrated, Clint..
In my 60 plus years I've never heard Clint described as underrated. No sir.
@@matoko123 Thanks for your comment. What I mean is that Clint is underrated as an actor in the film industry, and he shouldn't be.. He is thought of as a movie star and a great director, but overlooked in his ability as an actor because of his subtle acting style. Actually, he's excellent. All best.
"I gots to know" villain actor, got to play a detective in later Harry movies...
And a killer pimp in Magnum Force... Remember?
I think he was also Big Ed Mustafa in the Enforcer. He was a detective in Sudden Impact.
cleaned up his act, got out and became a cop
Albert Popwell. R.I.P.
JAMF
This film so much more stylish and artful direction than the subsequent vehicles....
God, I wish I could go back to the good old days
Yeah, well, many people weren't there for long. It's always been a dangerous world thanks to our preoccupation with trying to get away with evil.
I remember, as a kid that went to the movies every weekend, standing outside in minus 25F degree cold winter weather, waiting to get into the second showing of Dirty Harry. The wait was worth frozen feet, hands and ears. lol
I like his auto. "DH" still runs well as a cop movie, and its also a nice period piece of early 70's San Francisco. Really hurts nowadays watching those beautiful cars getting trashed!
I’ve been saying “I gots to know” for about 40 years.
God bless Clint Eastwood. I love him!
Nothin sweeter than the sound of that 44 magnum firing.
yes there is. the feel of it in your hand
Pay attention to the sweet, mechanical click as he cocks the hammer. First time i heard that click, i knew my body could efficiently reproduce.

What a great scene from a ground breaking movie. I love how a piece of hot dog bun goes flying out of Harry's mouth when he yells "halt!"
♥️Clint, today 91 years old 🙏
One of the few living legends.
Surprised he's still alive
@@AbrahamLincoln4 I can’t believe he’s making a new movie due out this September!
@@patrickc3419 ikr and Harrison Ford is younger than him. He broke a limb
Absolutely brilliant! I miss Dirty Harry as much as I miss living in a democracy.
Talk about psychological abuse... Harry new exactly how many shots he had fired... great clip...iconic...
Yea that was the thing in this scene, mentally abusing a black man. Even if Callahan made a mistake, and shot the guy in the head, his whole precinct would back him up, no questions asked. It's just a black guy anyway.
Clint you are the greatest actor/producer of all time.
Brian Anderson and Brian I don't know how you can forget this but I'm sure he directs 99.99% of his movies
Never gets old 🤗🤗
My favorite scene from my favorite movie!!!😊
I just love how Harry takes a big bite of his hotdog and then calmly chews it as he’s walking across the street shooting at the bank robbers and a moving car! Then the “well do ya punk” scene plays…one of my favorites in all the Dirty Harry movies.
I love that the cinema's showing Play Misty For Me.
Which Eastwood directed.
Classic Callahan quote, "Well, I never minded a little shooting as long as the right people get shot."
This time, the right ones that need to be shot, seem to be all black. There is a reason this movie is number 1, for most white cops.
Just around the corner you'll see a sign outside the theatre with : ' Play Misty for me ' His first self directed fantastic film..😊
Play Misty For Me was the original fatal attraction movie.
