I have no intent on claiming this footage as my own. I am simply providing commentary and constructive feedback.
The actor (Andrew Robinson) who portrayed the Scorpio Killer later lamented that his taken on this role early in his career ultimately ruined his acting career. He played the character so well that he was instantly type-casted as a creepy killer. It became nearly impossible to land other roles.
If you're a gun enthusiast, Dirty Harry's firearm (Smith & Wesson Model 29 - 44 Magnum) became an iconic weapon for decades.
Demand was so great following the film that buyers had to get on a waiting list. My first handgun was a S&W 29. 😂
It’s too big of a pistol for her
For most guys too. Every time one of these movies came out about a year later a lot of them would pass second hand through gun shops because they were bought because they looked cool in the film but weren’t right sized for the person
But he found his niche in Deep Space Nine. And made a lot of money. And was excellent in the role.
@@shawnmiller4781 I have one.. and I have small hands and it is a lot of gun for me..I don't shoot it often
Fortunately, we get him as Elim Garak on "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine".
Clint Eastwood can dress like a maths teacher with elbow patches and still look so effing cool.
yup
Kudos for catching what The Naked Gun spoofed
It was certainly serendipitous that she also watched that one fairly recently.
Addi, Magnum Force, the follow up to this movie, is also a great flick. And for older Clint Eastwood, Gran Torino and Million Dollar Baby are two of his best movies, watch them, you'll be glad you did!
I whole heartly concur!
Dead straight!
A yes to all of the above!
Defiantly watch those three, Eastwood at his best
Gran Torino and Million Dollar Baby, better bring the tissues Addie
Andy Robinson, "Scorpio", went on to play the enigmatic "Garak" in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
He also played the tragic good guy in Hellraiser.
The actor John Vernon, who played the Mayor in this film, also played Dean Vernon Wormer in "Animal House".
There's four more 'Dirty Harry' to watch now. Also, Clint actually did that stunt by jumping onto the bus from the bridge. Andy Robinson was so good at playing the villain Scorpio that after the film came out in 1971, he received a lot of hate mail and death threats.
Sudden Impact is my personal favorite. But I admit its mostly the Automag.
@@MGower4465 Ooh no - that's by far the worst of the 5
@@MGower4465 That's also my favourite and the only Dirty Harry movie that he directed himself.
@@Paul_1971worse than The Dead Pool?
Andy was only sorta 'saved' by 1976's HELTER SKELTER in which Steve Railsback captured the hate-mail focus as Manson.
The mayor eventually did put Harry on double-secret probation.
I see what you did there! 😂
Nice one!
"dirty harry" is one of those quintessential timepieces in terms of aesthetics, social attitudes and music. it just oozes the 70s.
Do you feel lucky Addie? Well, do ya? 😂
Come on, she is not a punk. :)
@@tsogobauggi8721 not at all 🤣
@@tsogobauggi8721 But I still "gots to know". 😉
@@tsogobauggi8721I bet she’s DlRTY
When the helicopter chases Scorpio off the roof does anyone else imagine the PA saying "YOU.... YES YOU!... THERE BEHIND THE BIKE SHED!... STAND STILL LADDY!"
"IF YA DON'T EAT YER MEAT, HOW CAN YOU HAVE ANY PUDDING!!!"
I remember distinctly when I saw this in the theater, I thought the helicopter guy was going to say:
"YOU THERE! YES YOU! STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING!
VIOLENCE IS NOT THE WAY! WE CAN TALK THIS OUT...."
This was Andrew Robinson's first big film role. He'd had a good theater career, but had been typecast as playing the baby-faced good guy. All of a sudden, he gets typecast as the psychopath instead.
As a result of this role, he ended up getting many death threats over the phone and finally had to get a private ("unlisted") number! That is testament to his acting ability, sadly....
Along with his role as Scorpio in Dirty Harry, he was stellar as Elim Garak in Star Trek: Deep Space 9. The latter is probably the best supporting character in all of the various Star Trek television series.
@arthurcamargo8416 I saw him at a few Star Trek conventions in the early '00s. He has this story where he went on vacation to a national park. He wakes up early one morning to watch the sunrise & just enjoy the beauty of nature, and a random guy walks up to him and says "I was so glad when Clint shot you."
@@MichaelScheele He didn't appear in the S7 episode about the Vulcan shooter murdering Starfleet officers, but (if he had) I pictured in my mind Garak having his standard lunch with Dr. Bashir and discussing the situation, and Bashir asking him if in his career with the Obsidian Order he ever had any experience as a sniper.
@@MichaelScheele Agreed! Such complexity! You never truly knew (at first) whose side he was advocating for! Such a fun/good character!
I remember when movie critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert did a special episode of their TV series "At the Movies" about "Why We Like Dirty Harry," Roger declared "The hell with the law. This is JUSTICE!"ople
It's a strange cultural phenomenon, these Dirty Harry movies and the Bronson Death Wish movies were driving home a point about criminals escaping justice because legal rights of the accused and following protocol were somehow restricting noble police officers from protecting the innocent. Mind you, this was at a time when police were a lot less restrained than they are today, and a lot less concerned with observing your constitutionally protected freedoms.
Roger Ebert also said "The movie's moral position is fascist. No doubt about it."
@@dereknolin5986 And was okay clearly with that, giving the movie a positive review and justifying the fact that he liked the film by saying that its moral deficits were meaningless as, in his opinion, movies reflect reality rather than change it.
@@waterbeauty85 Which is a bit of a silly position to take, because of course art reflects reality, and of course it also influences and changes reality.
@@quietreason8679 It is indeed a strange thing for him to say. He knows of the existence of blatant propaganda films and how they do manipulate beliefs and behaviors.
You may or may not have noticed but when Harry delivers his "Do you feel lucky." speech to the bank robber it's like Harry is toying with the guy but when he delivers the same speech to Scorpio there is anger in his voice.
he hated Scorpio's guts
21:20 NOT PARKING BRETWEEN THE LINES.
THAT'S why they call him Dirty Harry!
One of my personal pet peeves. 😮💨
For years and years, when fans would list their dream cast for an X-Men movie, Clint Eastwood was the name that would pop up for Wolverine, even though Clint was too old for most of that time. It was no surprise that an actor who bore some resemblance to him would end up being cast as Wolverine, when the day they made an X-Men movie finally arrived.
Worth noting: The most commonly listed name for Professor X (at least after Star Trek: The Next Generation started airing) was Patrick Stewart.
I used to watch this movie with my Dad when I was a kid. He loved movies like this and I loved watching anything he liked watching. I think was probably as young as 4 or 5. I might have seen it before that but cannot be sure. But I definitely remember watching movies on the big old Betamax video player that was the size of a large suite case. Early 80's technology was pretty dope. I was the remote control for the video player. The television and the stereo. I remember dad laughing and cheering on Harry as he violated everybody's civil rights and handed out vigilante justice. I loved every minute of it. Except for one thing. That scene in the park under the cross when Harry stabs that killer in the leg and he screams in pain. That scream. That face. Freaked me out. I'm 49 now, and I still get goosebumps watching that scene. But I still love that movie.
Scorpio was based in part on the Zodiac Killer, who was still fresh in California's memory when the movie was made. His alias is a Zodiac sign, he writes letters similar to the Zodiac's and he hijacks a school bus, kind of like what the Zodiac threatened to do.
Another must see Eastwood movie is his directorial debut, "Play Misty for Me."
Due to my age and dating habits, when it came out, that movie scared me.
@@randallshuck2976 I think it is way better than "Fatal Attraction."
@@randallshuck2976 LOL! Me, I loved it. I had spent the better part of a year in Monterey. Stationed at the Presidio, but loved to wander around town. I was intrigued by the Bar Clint's character frequented, just off of Cannery Row, but I wasn't old enough to go in, so I did my drinking at the NCO club on base .
I was gone before they filmed, but a friend I met later had been there, and he got on the final cut - at least, his car did. Clint came out of a door and walked down the sidewalk. My friend happened to drive down that street at that time, headed for the beach at Carmel.
Of course, the real reason I liked it was because had a bit of a crush on Jessica Walter. What can I say?
" Play Misty For Me " is pretty much the inspiration for
" Fatal Attraction "!
@@victorbortolussi2964 That is an understatement.
Besides this classic,, Three of my other favorite Clint Eastwood movies are "The Beguiled",, "The Outlaw Josey Wales" & "Kelly's Heroes"
I love Kelly's Heroes. It's another film that Addie should watch.
@@robertmartin9029 I agree 100%..Plus in my opinion,, It's not just Clint that's great in that movie,, Caroll O'Connor was great as the General,, Donald Sutherland as "Oddball" was epic,, Shit,, Even Don Rickles part was really well done,, etc..etc..etc.
Magnum Force and The Enforcer are 2 other Dirty Harry films for your viewing pleasure and High Plains Drifter is a must-see
Iconic film from Don Siegel, one of the great filmmakers. The story is loosely based on the real Zodiac murders that were going on at the time and this movie pops up in David Fincher's brilliant movie about the hunt for that killer. Another of Don Siegel movies starring Clint worth seeing is the civil war drama The Beguiled. And yes, Hugh Jackman can look so much like Clint sometimes.
In the mid-1960s there was a serial killer who called himself the Zodiac killer. This movie was inspired by that real-life set of murders.
You're absolutely right, Addie! It's really outrageous how unfair this psychopathic serial killer (and a criminal at that, extortionist and blackmailer) can be! Unthinkable!
The final shootout in the rock quarry is in Larkspur, Marin County. The quarry and pond are long gone and have been replaced by apartment buildings and a commuter train station. The remnants of the train trestle that Harry jumps off of is still there, but the train bridge over the road is gone. The irony is that road they were on with the school bus is Sir Francis Drake Blvd and just down the street from the infamous San Quentin prison.
Addie starts a deep dive into "Dirty Harry". Another good Eastwood movie is "The Eiger Sanction" 1975. And for a very different side of Clint, "Paint Your Wagon" 1969.
A couple of years after this movie, gunmen stormed a school bus in Chowchilla and kidnapped 26 children and their driver and buried them in a moving van while demanding ransom.
Eiger Sanction is a great movie. If she wants to see Clint something completely different she should check out Play MIsty for Me or Any Which Way But Loose. 2 completely different kind of roles for Clint. : )
Kelly's Heroes (1970), a WWII adventure/comedy movie with Clint in a different type of role. Also starring Telly Savalas, Donald Sutherland, Gavin MacLeod, Carol O'Connor and Don Rickles to name a few.
@@recyclerhopkins Absolutely!
This movie triggered another memory, and I just looked it up to confirm the details. On October 22, 1969, someone claiming to be the Zodiac killer called lawyer Melvin Belli on a morning talk show. I was in the fifth grade then, and the teacher wheeled a TV set on a stand into the classroom so she could watch the interview. When I told my parents, they were appalled.
Actor John Vernon (born Adolphus Raymondus Vernon Agopsowicz) who played the mayor was also Dean Wormer in National Lampoon's Animal House (1978) and the voice of Iron Man in the 1960s animated Iron Man TV series.
He's also Fletcher in " Josey Wales ".
He's also the voice of Rupert Thorne in Batman the Animated Series
Hi Addie great reaction. This film was inspired by the real life Zodiac killer, which occured in the late sixties & early seventies. That is also a great movie to watch. The zodiac case was still an open investigation by the San Francisco police at the time of this movie. The zodiac also sent notes to the police and newspapers, threating to murder children on a school bus. The entire country was scared. So Dirty Harry killing Scorpio was like everyone wanting the Zodiac killer dead.
Speaking of a young Clint Eastwood on screen, he played in black and white westerns on TV, and then iconic Western movies in color, and THEN Dirty Harry.
It's funny that you mention Hugh Jackman looking similar to Clint Eastwood because I recall back in the 90's, there was some talk of Clint playing Wolverine 😂
Hello Addie!😊 This film and "Magnum Force" (1973) tend to be most peoples favorite Dirty Harry film. As you can tell by the ending, they did not expect this film to be such a big hit and to spawn many sequels. Great reactions to this young Hugh Jackman film. I mean great reactions to this young Clint Eastwood film, Addie!!!😉🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is one of the first examples of a movie “cliche” I noticed. Every time a school bus drives across the Golden Gate Bridge, it ends badly. DIRTY HARRY, the 1978 SUPERMAN, the 2014 GODZILLA, RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, and TERMINATOR: GENISYS. All have school buses that drive across the Golden Gate Bridge, and it never ends well.
Now that you mention it......I see it now.
Not to be confused with the equally deadly crime of driving a bus, plane, or any other multi-passenger vehicle in an action movie. The driver is almost always toast.
The Major here was also the Dean in Animal House.
Put " Thunderbolt & Lightfoot " on your list. Also another movie which isn't a Clint Eastwood movie " Cool Hand Luke ".
I love these '70s cop dramas! They have a gritty realism that isn't over the top.
If you want the best spaghetti western then watch. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. 3 great actors and best gun fight in a lot of films.
And one of the BEST film scores in history in my small opinion.
Ennio Morricone is a master composer.
Addie, you should check out some clips of an old TV show called Rawhide. It was a western and starred a young actor named Clint Eastwood. A good deal younger than he is in this movie.
This is one of my favourite movie characters and a favourite of my late Mum and Dad as well they were all violent but Harry always went that extra mile to beat the bad guys, enjoy Addie.
Andie Robinson, who played Scorpio, was a peacenick and had trouble handling the gun he was supposed to use so production was shut down while a firearms expert was brought in to train him in the use of firearms.
"There was a million reasons they called him Dirty Harry, and he kept inventing new ones" - Quote from the original trailer
Yes, Naked Gun did reference that line from Dirty Harry. Congrats! You are the only reactor ever got it, great job!
so glad you watched Dirty Harry, hope you watch the entire 5 parts for Dirty Harry. If yes then your next watch from the series will be Magnum Force. Do you feel Lucky Addie? Well do ya? i highly recommend you watch "million dollar baby" which Clint acted in and directed as well. a truly EPIC movie, you shouldnt miss it.
In San Francisco today, the mayor would profusely apologize to the killer for not paying the money in a timely manner. Plus not prosecuting for the murders and prosecuting Harry for violating the criminals rights.
Good one, Addie! Thanks for sharing it.
A very good movie from roughly this same time period where he plays a more “typical guy” instead of a police detective is Play Misty for Me. I think you would really enjoy reacting to it. Plus, any of the movies from the rest of the Dirty Harry franchise are good.
You need to react to "Play Misty for Me" (1971). A psychological thriller set in Monterey, Ca. (the Monterey Peninsula/Big Sur area). A portion of which was filmed at the Monterey Jazz Festival, i.e., "Misty" by Erroll Garner. This was Clint Eastwood's first movie as both star & director. Co-stars Jessica Walters & Donna Mills.
Andrew J. Robinson is best-known for playing a beloved character on _Star Trek: DS9._
Callahan should have cut the killers Achilles tendon instead of stabbing him in the thigh. That way he couldn’t run away.
Watching Harry bring down the potential jumper reminded me of Lethal Weapon. Another cop movie to add to your list.
19:05 That was a very satisfying eye roll.
The Outlaw Josey Wales is my favorite Eastwood movie next to the first Dirty Harry. Clint Eastwood is an American treasure and I think you'll enjoy any of his films. Have fun, stay awesome.
The suicide jumper scene was the inspiration for the similar scene in the orginal Lethal Weapon.
You shouldve watched 'The Good Bad and The Ugly' (1966) before 'Unforgiven' it features a younger Eastwood. The spaghetti western is arguably one of the best films in cinema history that ranks up with movies like The Godfather and Shawshank Redemption. The movie features iconic scenes and score.
Josey Wales is better
The score is so iconic the Danish National Orchestra performed two parts in a multiple-million-viewed video.
+1 on *The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.* It's an early 60's film so Clint is youthful and very handsome. It was the third of the "Spaghetti Westerns" that he filmed with Italian director Sergio Leone, and probably the best of the three.
@@GeorgeTropicana Naaaa 😆
@@GeorgeTropicana absolutely! better in every way
This movie came out when the Zodiac killer was still active in the San Francisco area. The movie was inspired by that, hence them calling the killer the Scorpio killer.
The Scorpio killer in Dirty Harry was based on the Zodiac killer who murdered people around San Fransico on the 1960s.
Remember this film when you go to vote!
Nice catch getting the reference in Naked Gun.
The main lookalike for a younger Clint would be Dame Maggie Smith's son, Toby Stephens. In fact he played a young Clint Eastwood, voiced by Clint Eastwood in the film Space Cowboys. Andy Robinson later went on the become Garak the Cardassian Tailor/spy in Star Trek DS9. Watch it, if you want to be "Keeping UP with the Cardassians".
Young Clint was 42 in this movie from over 50 years ago.
Hey Addie! From wiki: "[Andrew] Robinson's first feature film role was in 1971's Dirty Harry. Don Siegel, the film's director, and Clint Eastwood picked Robinson for the role after seeing him in a production of Fyodor Dostoevsky's The Idiot... His portrayal was so convincing that he received death threats after the film's release." Yikes!
I know you watched at least one Clint movie. But the Clint Eastwood rabbit hole is fun! The Dirty Harry movies, the “Man with no name” movies, add to that “Pale Rider”, “Heartbreak Ridge”, “Gran Torino”, “Million Dollar Baby” etc. etc. It is pretty deep too!
You should watch all of the Dirty Harry movies. The other 4 are Magnum Force, The Enforcer, Sudden Impact, and The Dead Pool. Definitely worth watching all of them!
Hi Addie, looking gorgeous as always :) It's great you've seen this crime classic and I loved your reaction to it. It's one of Clint Eastwood's best films and he is one of Hollywood's GOAT'S! My top 3 favourite movies of his that you just have to react to are; Kelly's Heroes (1970) A WWII action comedy, set in the aftermath of D-Day. In which he leads a group of American soldiers on a mission to steal nazi gold from behind enemy lines. And the late, great Donald Sutherland steals the show as a hippie tank sergeant ;) + his 2 hilarious comedies Every Which Way But Loose (1978) & Any Which Way You Can (1980) In those, he plays a mechanic moonlighting as a bare knuckle boxer, who has a pet orangutan named Clyde and they get into all sorts of scrapes, making friends and enemies as they go. Please check out those 3 awesome movies for the channel next :) I like your reactions and I'm subscribed :)
I think it's worth noting that this was the 4th highest grossing film of 1971...as mentioned below, there are 4 sequels, ALL worth checking out!! For young Eastwood, it might be best to go way back to his regular role in the Tv western Rawhide [1959-1965], when he was 28,,,but, if you prefer sticking with cinema, I would suggest the spaghetti western trilogy, 'A Fistful Of Dollars' [1964], 'For A Few Dollars More' [1965] and 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly' [1965]..it was via these films that Clint rose to mega-superstardom. Inarguably, Hugh Jackman shares a striking resemblance to young Eastwood, but the real side-by-side that you need to do is young Clint with his son, Scott. Now, that's genetics in FULL EFFECT!!! If you need more convincing, watch the 2015 western 'Diablo; with Scott Eastwood as the lead....he doesn't have his daddy's distinct voice, but, DAMN, that's some amazing doppelganger magic!!!
You wont regret watching this movies.
One of my favourite war films, Where Eagles Dare, stars a young Clint Eastwood and Richard Burton. Also The Eiger Sanction, another good movie starring Mr Eastwood.
I love addie reacting to most of my favourite movies although I haven’t watched this movie yet but I have watched the good the bad and the ugly most of these movies have inspired me to be an actor
It's funny you say how much he looks like Hugh Jackman. Theres a scene in the movie "The Eiger Sanction" where Clint is gritting his teeth and threatening someone. I've always thought a young Clint Eastwood would be the perfect Wolverine and that scene proves it.
Andy Robison is great as Scorpio, but my favorite character he played was Elim Garak in "Star Trek: Deep Space 9."
See, now your stuck. Now you have to watch the rest of them. We will be watching. Thanks for the treat.
He was 41 when this was released in 1971. Excellent Addie love seeing this Eastwood movies reacted too! 👍🏻👍🏻
This movie was a real cultural shift in American film at the the time. It was the end of summer of love and the beginning of the more cynical 70's. This movie was really the first of it's kind. It is hard to really see that now, because how much it influenced all cop and crime movies that followed.
Clint Eastwood films are amazing. Blood Work is another one with an absolutely staggering villain.
Firefox is an underrated Clint Eastwood film. It's a pretty good action/thriller movie.
You have now seen Dirty Harry and The Naked Gun.
Now you’re ready to tear off the Band-Aid with a blowtorch and watch Sledge Hammer.
One of the most important films to contemplate the issue of crime in America in history.
A little historical context Addie. The Dirty Harry series and similar ones like Death Wish began at a time when a lot of Americans thought crime was out of control. Audiences loved movies about tough on crime cops or citizens that took action themselves. Endless arguments about whether this inspired or reflected society. See Bernard Goetz.
Good early 1970's Clint Eastwood:
"Where Eagles Dare" (1968)
"The Eiger Sanction" (1975)
"Kelly's Heroes" (1970)
"The Outlaw Josey Wales" (1976)
Great reaction...as always. Addie, if you like Clint Eastwood so much, you should continue on with the rest of the Dirty Harry franchise:
1. Dirty Harry (1971)
2. Magnum Force (1973)
3. The Enforcer (1976)
4. Sudden Impact (1983)
5. The Dead Pool (1988)
Fun fact: This movie was filmed toward the end of the killing spree of the Zodiac killer in the bay area. The killer in the movie calling himself Scorpio and the movie is meant as a representation of the true events and the true killer.
Addie and her cheerful enthusiasm watching Dirty Harry Callahan 😍
So glad to see you reacting to this movie! Seems like it doesn't get brought up much anymore these days, which is a shame because this character and this franchise are so iconic and such a significant part of film history. If you're interested, I would definitely check out at least the next two films in the series, Magnum Force and The Enforcer. But I'm glad you've finally discovered Clint Eastwood and hope you'll check out more of his movies down the road. Three I'd recommend off the bat are The Outlaw Josey Wales, In the Line of Fire, and Gran Torino.
P.S. You're definitely on point with the Hugh Jackman comparison, I've always thought the same...in fact he's cited Clint as an inspiration for how he played Wolverine, especially in Logan, which was partially inspired by Unforgiven.
ROBINSON was also pretty awesome playing GARAK on STAR TREK DS9, I would recommend a watch as well.
everybody's dads favorite movie!
Andrew Robinson, our favourite Cardassian!!
All the Dirty Harry movies are great and worth a watch
I always liked Clint Eastwood as a secret service agent in, In the Line of Fire. At least I think it's called that.
I hope you'll watch the next film in this series, Magnum Force. It's my favorite of the franchise. Another great Clint Eastwood film is The Gauntlet (1977)
Thanks, Addie. Clint Eastwood's son, Scott, looks enough like his father that if you see him you'll be certain of their relationship.
You should check out The Gauntlet. It’s a wild ride from Eastwood.
For more of young Clint Eastwood, check out Sergio Leone's Dollar trilogy or the WW2 movie Where Eagles Dare!
Great reaction! Scorpio almost certainly would not have been released, but it furthers the plot and makes a point: criminals sometimes do get off on technicalities or poor police procedure. The fact that Scorpio is wearing a mask at the cross creates a problem of identification--neither Harry or Gonzalez saw his face. Maybe the knife wound is enough for an ID, I don't know. My guess is that Harry and DiGiorgio would have said that they saw Scorpio inside the stadium, and therefore they had probable cause to enter without a warrant. Let's not forget that Harry did see Scorpio when they had the gun fight on the roof. Whether or not Harry got a good look at him then, he could say he did and that he recognized Scorpio inside the stadium, which is why they went in. It's extremely unlikely that Harry would have admitted to torturing Scorpio in a police report, so it would have been Scorpio's word against Harry and DiGiorgio (who would have backed up Harry, despite Harry telling him to take a walk before he started torturing Scorpio). In general, I don't condone police making up stories to support their actions, but in this case I believe it would have occurred in order to get a known killer off the street.
You are making a habit of reacting to some of my favourite films lol. I literally finished your Kill Bill Volume Two reaction, two minutes ago.
Dirty Hairy? I have one of those. Barfs on my carpet from time to time.
Addie is my favourite youtuber I love her channel
Clint might play all of his roles with the same few notes but I know so many men that walked that same line. A few uncles, a couple of teachers, a few bosses and my father all had that Clint Eastwood in them. It's hard to say if Clint was just being Clint or was he acting the Every Man we all know. Or he coult have been doing both.
Could Kelly's Heroes be next? ( A World War 2 Bank Heist lite comedy. ) It's a Star Studded film and Clint brings the charm. You'll love it.
Addie, you might want to check out an even earlier Eastwood movie. He started with westerns and has a few very famous ones.
I used to work at UCSF Medical Center, and one of the buildings overlooks Kezar Stadium. Whenever I worked there and could see the stadium, it reminded me of Dirty Harry.
Great reaction 🔥
