But at the end of the day, I think Clint Eastwood was the best choice and he made the character as iconic as he is. It's just hard to imagine any other legendary actor in the role at this point. Clint Eastwood embodied the Dirty Harry character perfectly.

Fun Fact: Clint Eastwood eating the hot dog while stopping the robbery was inspired by James Cagney in White Heat (1949) eating a chicken wing while shooting someone. Here's Clint's own words in a 2008 interview: ”When he comes out in White Heat eating a chicken leg and blasting a guy in the trunk of a car, you go, ‘Yeah, that’s offsetting, but in a nice way.’ The scene in Dirty Harry where I’m eating a hot dog in that shootout, that’s a steal.” Nothing cooler than a legend inspiring a legend. Dirty Harry and White Heat both happen to be Warner Bros. classics, interestingly. Anyway, just a fun fact.
@@patsaklaras Eli Wallach made the Tuco character legendary in The Good, The Bad And The Ugly, without a doubt. One of the all-time great characters and performances in any movie. It is worth noting that James Cagney's chicken eating and shooting in White Heat predates Eli Wallach's by 17 years though. I'd actually think it's possible Clint Eastwood, who's a fan of Cagney, spoke about it with Eli Wallach while filming The Good, The Bad And The Ugly and Wallach might have done his chicken leg window breaking shootout as an homage as well. This might have given Clint Eastwood the idea to pay homage when he played Dirty Harry a few years later after that. Just my take. At the end of the day, Tuco played by Eli Wallach in The Good The Bad And The Ugly, Harry Callahan played by Clint Eastwood in Dirty Harry, and Cody Jarrett played by James Cagney in White Heat are all legendary performances by legendary actors in legendary movies. All 3 of the movies are some of my all-time favorites.

The scene is excellent in every way. In Highschool we performed "Dirty Larry" for the Senior Play. I played Dirty Larry and my buddy Joe Rayno played the Rotten Shotgun Totin' Bank Robber. When Joey asked "Ize Gots ta Knowz ?", like a real Black African Stooge, I improvised and kicked him in the nuts. Afterwards the director, lovely Patty Mays, said that she never laughed so hard in her life and that my instincts were perfect. Let's just say that I became"involved " with Patty and thoroughly Frosted Her Muffin that night. I'll never forget my Senior Year.
He didn't have to know. Whether Dirty Harry had a bullet or not, it turns out the same way. If the guy on the floor reaches for the shot gun or not, he isn't going to get it (dirty Harry can just pin the shotgun down with his foot faster than it can be reached) and Dirty Harry isn't going to shoot him.
These older movies just had soul. It's truly hard for me to explain. Hell I don't even know how to explain. But they are just built different. A different feeling, a different time, men being men, women being women, no nonsense, fun scripts. Jus different.
Men were men? I guess you forgot... Alice (male prosty): My friends call me Alice, and I will take a dare. Harry: Well, Alice, when was the last time you were busted? Alice: If you're vice, I'll kill myself! Harry: Well, do it at home!

12 Years later, in Sudden Impact from 1983 and it was his last act in Dirty Harry movies. In 1973 he played a pimp killed by a traffic cop in "Magnum Force" and in 1976 he played Mustafa, a leader of black group in "The Enforcer". Actor didn't star in "The Dead Pool"
Love Albert Popwell as the bank robber. "Hey, I just gots to know." Eastwood must have really liked him because he was in four of the Dirty Harry movies and finally played a good guy in the last one, Sudden Impact.
Who couldn't love Albert Popwell?! To have known Albert Popwell was to have loved Albert Popwell! The REAL star of every movie he was in that just happened to feature this guy Clint what's-his-name. Ladies and Gentlemen, all hail The Man,The Myth, The Legnd: ALBERT POPWELL!!
Clint Eastwood is a joy to behold as he casually walks across the street eating his beloved hot dog, then opening up his 44 magnum as if it were a 88mm cannon. The scene is so well done, in an odd, perverse way. Very clever, deft acting by the underrated, Clint.. Hollywood could take a lesson.
@@BeauDare-ov7py In Germany we had a superb actor playing a role like Clint Eastwood, his name was Klaus Loewitsch and the TV show was Peter Strohm. In his role he was an ex Hamburg Kripo cop blasting away mafiosi when the normal police couldnt. A superb actor!

@@mortb9 You are of course right. I stand corrected. It's been awhile since I saw Sudden Impact. In going down memory lane, he was also the pimp in Magnum Force, played Mustapha in The Enforcer, Horace of course in Sudden Impact, and back in 1968 was threatening Clint Eastwood's character with a switchblade in Coogan's Bluff as "Wonderful Digby." He had a long and distinguished career that lasted for decades.
actually that actor, Albert Popwell, was in the first four Dirty Harry movies. Bank Robber in Dirty Harry, a Pimp in Magnum Force, Big Ed Mustafa in The Enforcer and Horace King in Sudden Impact. The only one he wasn't in was The Dead Pool
"I gots to know!" Albert Popwell subsequently starred in Magnum Force as the pimp, The Enforcer as the black rights activist leader, and then Sudden Impact as Harry's partner.
they recycle the actors, I watched “The Untouchables” and they had Edward Platt, chief in Get Smart and Dwayne Hickman of Dobie Gillis fame. Also The Professor from Gilligan’s Island. Probably many others.
All those getaway-driver cigarette butts on the pavement outside, his henchmen in the bank certainly were taking their sweet time. The "I gots to know" actor was Albert Popwell, who played roles in subsequent Dirty Harry films. It's great that they kept him in the franchise, even though most viewers never realized who he was.
@@bluenetmarketing Good morning. Very little and I cannot remember exactly. Purchased in the UK back in the 1980's from a retired cinema manager who had it stored in a spare bedroom. We were fortunate and it was one amongst a number we, my brother and I, purchased that day. We also have the UK promotion booklet sent to cinemas before the film was released so that cinema managers would see the promotion material they would receive should or could be displayed. I also worked in a cinema myself when finishing my exams at weekends. We are great Eastwood fans and are fortunate to have a number of original UK and US posters and sets of cinema promotion stills. All part of a larger collection.
Albert Popwell, the injured bank robber lying on the ground, was in a four Dirty Harry movies. Mostly playing the bad guy but also as his partner in "Sudden Impact" as I recall. I saw him at LAX walking towards me. A very tall gentleman (6'3", according to his bio). He started out as a professional dancer prior to pursuing his successful acting career. Passed away at age 72 in 1999.
He made too many, really. The first three were all very good, then there were two more in the 80s which didn't really work, it was like Rocky always trying to recreate the most popular bits of the original and turning it into a cliche. The two 80s films weren't awful, but that sense of trying to force the same magic was sad and embarassing, Clint was also a bit too old to be playing the role and the character didn't feel as real anymore. But they weren't awful films, the fourth and fifth.
I remember this scene. The Mayor puts Dirty Harry on double secret probation and then threatens to expel him from Faber. "Tall, squinty, and violent is no way to go through life, son." Good flick, man.
The look on Harry's face when he gets interrupted is classic!
Just one scene of Clint Eastwood has more charisma in it than the whole 80-2020 movies era i think
Lol
Any badge will tell you, nothing pisses us off more than having to deal with idiots on our lunch or dinner breaks.
That signature squint does appear in a lot of his movies.
*Harry's seniors were suffering from Inferiority Complex, due to Ignoring them by Mayor.* 🤔🤨🙄🤑🤗🤭🤫
Clint is the man. From the spaghetti westerns to dirty Harry and his great movies directing there's never gonna be anyone to touch him
I think I have damn near all his stuff.
Back when San Francisco was great!
Clint Eastwood was like part Hard-Boiled Detective, part Western Gunslinger in this. Dirty Harry is a bona fide classic.

12 Years later, in Sudden Impact from 1983 and it was his last act in Dirty Harry movies. In 1973 he played a pimp killed by a traffic cop in "Magnum Force" and in 1976 he played Mustafa, a leader of black group in "The Enforcer". Actor didn't star in "The Dead Pool"
That actor is the late Albert Popwell a good friend of Clint Eastwood's since meeting in the movie "Coogans Bluff" in 1968.
"Good morning, Horace."
Yeah, he was in all of them except for the last one. Good friend of mr Eastwood, loved him in Sudden Impact.
"I think he's got a point" one of the best lines ever.
Love Albert Popwell as the bank robber. "Hey, I just gots to know." Eastwood must have really liked him because he was in four of the Dirty Harry movies and finally played a good guy in the last one, Sudden Impact.
Horace
@@WilliamBonney-gl2qf Yeah, JAMF! He kept calling Harry that and Harry had to ask what that meant. 🤣
great movie I love Clint's movies all great
Popwel was in several movies with Clint,
Who couldn't love Albert Popwell?! To have known Albert Popwell was to have loved Albert Popwell! The REAL star of every movie he was in that just happened to feature this guy Clint what's-his-name. Ladies and Gentlemen, all hail The Man,The Myth, The Legnd: ALBERT POPWELL!!
A true classic. We need more guys like Harry out there
Definitely
and here
Clint Eastwood is a joy to behold as he casually walks across the street eating his beloved hot dog, then opening up his 44 magnum as if it were a 88mm cannon. The scene is so well done, in an odd, perverse way. Very clever, deft acting by the underrated, Clint.. Hollywood could take a lesson.
I have worked in the film industry for some time, and believe me, Hollywood needs him more than ever.
Yeah !
@Haff, Thanks for your note. All best.
@@BeauDare-ov7py In Germany we had a superb actor playing a role like Clint Eastwood, his name was Klaus Loewitsch and the TV show was Peter Strohm. In his role he was an ex Hamburg Kripo cop blasting away mafiosi when the normal police couldnt. A superb actor!
@Schlipper, Many thanks for your interesting note. This actor, Klaus sounds absolutely wonderful. All best wishes.
If there was ever a time that SF needed Dirty Harry back. Used to be such a nice place.
I counted the shots. Harry did, indeed, fire 6 shots.
Yup. There’s a shot that happens kinda off screen that many people, including myself, miss.
Should always count your rounds.
I always count five. Is it possible they added that other round in post production.
@@juanmonge7418 there’s a shot kinda off camera. I missed that one for a long time.
'I gots to know' is an all time classic line, whenever we are playing a bit of Texas hold em it is always used.
I am going to start using that when I call on the river, instead of, "Show me a (whatever single card makes that straight to beat my flopped set)"
Now I know where Lt Frank Drebin borrowed the That's My Policy answer from !!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Police Chief: "That was a troupe of actors performing Shakespeare in the park."
Hahaha mee too
Wait, wasn't that Enrico Pallazzo?
Eastwood still makes me laugh decades later.
Judging from this movie, San Francisco has always been a cesspool.
It's worse than ever now. Democrats have destroyed this once beautiful city with policies like you can steal up to $900 of stuff from stores and nothing will happen to you.
It has, it just keeps getting worse woth time. Ironically, the worse it gets, the more expensive it's to live there.
@@muziklvr7776 You are right!
By the way I got a notification from YT of your reply to gliderrider's comment because I had replied earlier this past month but my reply is being hidden.
@@georgehenderson7783 I get that quite a bit, too, unfortunately.
Keep crying
Nice one. Love those big old American cars.
Fun Fact: That Punk ended up turning his life around to become Harry's friend in Sudden Impact!
I thought he was one of the robbers..."Who's we sucka!" "Smith, Wesson, and me!"
@@JamesR1234 Nah. He played Horace.
@@mortb9 You are of course right. I stand corrected. It's been awhile since I saw Sudden Impact. In going down memory lane, he was also the pimp in Magnum Force, played Mustapha in The Enforcer, Horace of course in Sudden Impact, and back in 1968 was threatening Clint Eastwood's character with a switchblade in Coogan's Bluff as "Wonderful Digby." He had a long and distinguished career that lasted for decades.
Yes, that is typically something they do after a life of crime. "Turn dey laafe arount"
actually that actor, Albert Popwell, was in the first four Dirty Harry movies. Bank Robber in Dirty Harry, a Pimp in Magnum Force, Big Ed Mustafa in The Enforcer and Horace King in Sudden Impact. The only one he wasn't in was The Dead Pool
San Francisco needs another Dirty Harry today!
Every city in the west could use a few like him.
There’s plenty willing to be one. The system doesn’t want them.
@@azariasthelast They're afraid a Dirty Harry would also clean out or eliminate the dirty politicians, that's why.
"I gots to know!"
Albert Popwell subsequently starred in Magnum Force as the pimp, The Enforcer as the black rights activist leader, and then Sudden Impact as Harry's partner.
they recycle the actors, I watched “The Untouchables” and they had Edward Platt, chief in Get Smart and Dwayne Hickman of Dobie Gillis fame. Also The Professor from Gilligan’s Island. Probably many others.
Got to have lunch with Albert Popwell once, Very cool dude, RIP
You'll never get another Gigachad like Clint ever again.
Boy, the city of San Francisco sure has changed......
Sadly
Because of drugs.
@@larss.1876lol sure, “drugs”
Yeah, such a lovely city it's become. No longer a cesspool of rogue cops it used to be.
@@missingno88 If not, what is the reason?
Good old action- THE statement- iconic- The man- a legend
Do you feel lucky punk? One of the best lines in movie history!
All those getaway-driver cigarette butts on the pavement outside, his henchmen in the bank certainly were taking their sweet time.
The "I gots to know" actor was Albert Popwell, who played roles in subsequent Dirty Harry films. It's great that they kept him in the franchise, even though most viewers never realized who he was.
P.S. The fake blood in that scene was really cheesy.
This never gets old... Seen it dozens of times....
Long live to the great actor, director, and human being Clint Eastwood
When people made great films & TV series. I still remember those days!
Clint for President.
Clint was a beauty indeed, and we need more like him.
Still is a beauty.
They would stop 80 percent of crime if they would go back to this attitude.
It didnt work then why do you think it would work now?
What are you an idiot?
Shot in the leg, walks without a limp...CLASSIC!
That was ketchup.
Very good movie a true classic one of my favorites from the great clint eastwood
The movie theatre in the background is showing 'Play Misty For Me.' Nice touch.
A violent classic that can still make your day
Damn... I miss these days
This and the ”too much sugar”-scene from another movie are Harry Callaghan Classics.
We need Dirty Harry today!!! Oh I love Clint Eastwood!!! He's my escape!!!
I saw this when it first came out in theaters. It was fantastic for its day. I seldom enjoyed a movie more in my life.
This makes me nostalgic for when politicians used to actually let cops enforce laws.
They never did then nor now. Politicians have always been corrupt and hell and hid behind law enforcement.
Notice that San Francisco always has cable cars everywhere in movies when in reality there only a handful of them.
Every Police Department and every Sheriffs Office needs a Harry Callahan.
At least one!
Production goof: At 6:20 you can see a cable attached to the back bumper of the tan Ford after it hits the hydrant.
The classic piece of dialogue is my ringtone! An original UK cinema poster graces my wall! You could say I love this classic movie.
What did that poster cost you?
hey Andrew, you love this classic movie.
@@bluenetmarketing Good morning. Very little and I cannot remember exactly. Purchased in the UK back in the 1980's from a retired cinema manager who had it stored in a spare bedroom. We were fortunate and it was one amongst a number we, my brother and I, purchased that day. We also have the UK promotion booklet sent to cinemas before the film was released so that cinema managers would see the promotion material they would receive should or could be displayed. I also worked in a cinema myself when finishing my exams at weekends. We are great Eastwood fans and are fortunate to have a number of original UK and US posters and sets of cinema promotion stills. All part of a larger collection.
@@backwashjoe7864 Good morning and yes absolutely. Have a great day. Hot and sunny in my part of the UK today! 😀
@@andrewlorenz3139 That is fascinating information. I'm looking for some old monster movie posters at the moment.
That movie was fantastic,we will never see such a great film nowadays.Unforgettable actor.
Great line, from Clint, be it the Spaghetti Westerns or Dirty Harry the scrips are treasures that are still drawing accolades 10’s of years later.
Clint is a legend, a man's man.
Amazingly handsome Clint is. Luck y guy.
Albert Popwell, the injured bank robber lying on the ground, was in a four Dirty Harry movies. Mostly playing the bad guy but also as his partner in "Sudden Impact" as I recall. I saw him at LAX walking towards me. A very tall gentleman (6'3", according to his bio). He started out as a professional dancer prior to pursuing his successful acting career. Passed away at age 72 in 1999.
0:23 Even in 1971, the SF mayor was throwing the SFPD under the bus!
Greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷. Eastwood is the best for his charisma and great acting.
It's such a shame more of these weren't made. Clint is my favourite of all time. Sad he's 94 now but at least he's still going.
He made too many, really. The first three were all very good, then there were two more in the 80s which didn't really work, it was like Rocky always trying to recreate the most popular bits of the original and turning it into a cliche. The two 80s films weren't awful, but that sense of trying to force the same magic was sad and embarassing, Clint was also a bit too old to be playing the role and the character didn't feel as real anymore. But they weren't awful films, the fourth and fifth.
That was the longest chew on a hot dog ever !!!!! Love Clint 😂😂❤❤❤
Classic American Cinema! This really is brilliant. Love it!
I remember this scene. The Mayor puts Dirty Harry on double secret probation and then threatens to expel him from Faber.
"Tall, squinty, and violent is no way to go through life, son."
Good flick, man.
The line Eastwood says to the punk is classic.Just classic.
‘hey…i gots to kno’ all he said to be timeless forever 😂
I really enjoyed watching Clinr Eastwood in the Firty Harry movies. Thank you for one of the most iconic scenes.
This is what we need. Some Inspector Callahan justice to bring down inflation, crime, immigration, high interest rates, etc. etc.
Thanks for the return of Dirty Harry on Max but we need the other 4 movies too.
Eastwood is the Icon of Icons
That iconic sound of the .44 Magnum
