2:12 to 2:50 best scene ever. "I figure a naked man running through a dark alley with a butcher knife and a hard on isn't out collecting for the red cross" best line ever. I mean you can't blame the mayor for saying "I think he's got a point".
@@ohger1 When a naked adult male is chasing a woman through an alleyway with a butcher knife and a hard on, I figured he isn't out collecting for the Red Cross.
the part when the mayor says "i think he's got a point" is not just a quaint line in the movie, it sums up the narrative of the whole movie. Calhan was the unsavory answer to the neutered justice system of the 1970s, and it is finally dawning on the mayor that the justice system was out of control, not Calhan. The mayor guy is a great actor imo.
Harry's policy is similar to what Karizanga National Park rangers are doing to poachers right now: just shooting them dead so they don't shoot the rhinos.
*Chief Minister:* I don't want any trouble like you had in Kaziranga Park, understand? That's my policy. *Park Ranger Harij:* Ya when an adult male is chasing a female rhino with an intent to poach, I shoot the bastard that's my policy. *Chief Minister:* Intent? How did you establish that? *Park Ranger Harij:* Well when a crazy man is chasing a rhino with a rifle and a large storage trailer, I figure he isn't collecting for the MOHAN Foundation. *Chief Minister:* I think he's got a point.
*chases a woman through a dark alley while naked, aroused and carrying a butcher's knife* "Excuse me Miss, would you like to make a donation to the Red Cross"
He was called Dirty Harry because he was willing to do the real dirty jobs nobody else wanted - the real nut case criminals. That made him indispensable to the dept. and at the same time not take responsibility if his cases went wrong.
Its 'arse' not 'ass'. The language is English and its spoken how the English people speak it, not how a bunch of arrogant colonials do. The clue is in the name: English. Dont like it either speak Spanish or get your own language and stop using ours.
I was born in 57. was a teen in the 70s, high school then college. Really was a fun time. You could go out and meet girls, exchange phone numbers, get a date. Now you chat and chat endlessly. Waste of time. No human interaction
Imagine this film got made today. Just imagine all the uproar from every human rights organization in the world complaining about what Harry Callahan says, yet none of these people would object to the fact that there is a man running through the alley after a woman with a hard on and a knife. Strange screwed up society we live in today where being politically correct is more important than enforcing the law. I'd prefer more cops like Callahan on the beat.
Romulan2469 Seeing from your name that you prefer fantasy worlds to reality, let me enlighten you. Today's world is BETTER than your fantasy past. I know this because I actually LIVED THERE, instead of just reading about it on wingnut web sites.
Romulan2469: There was uproar even then; though more subdued than today. Andy Robinson, who played the Scorpio Killer so brilliantly, had to defend himself for years from others in his profession who were friends of his for being in such a right wing movie.
I was about to write the same thing garycarter. Actors and directors turned down opportunities to do these movies because they were disgusted by the subtext. People were outraged about using a black guy in the bank robbery scene in Dirty Harry so much that they gave him a better role in one of the other movies. Times aren't much different today than they were back then, except the internet amps everything up now.
Garret Gray: Too true Garrett. Albert Popwell was the black actor in the robbery scene. Clint didn't just use him repeatedly, but lot's of other actors too. Harry Guardino was in not just the Dirty Harry's but also played in 'Any Which Way You Can'. Clint said in interviews that it made it better for him making movies if the people he worked with new him and what he wanted well. Legend.
I had a former Captain that was a Marine drill instructor. He was single and was a mixture of Callahan and gunnery Sgt Hartman. Very intimidating but fair. No shit kind of guy and it didn't matter if you were the mayor or chief. He was not intimidated by anyone. Was highly respected for that among the guys. His entrance would have been just like this.
I read somewhere the scene was filmed exactly on Memorial Day 1971.Still great use of San Francisco filming of a classic.Side note except for the bank robbery sequence which was filmed at Universal Studios(who had let the film lapsed) backlot.
That's true. My sister and I were there and watched it being filmed. Our mom worked for Mayor Alioto in his office at City Hall, and it was quite an experience. I was a sophomore in high school and had no idea we were witnessing something that would become of cultural and historical importance. Afterwards, Clint Eastwood came over and talked to us and we took pics. I still have the original signed photo in an album. Something I'll never forget.
@Richard Clarke Yes indeed. We definitely lucked out. Our mom worked for three SF mayor's. Before Joe Alioto left office he appointed her as head of the Rec and Park commission. That was fun as well because if anyone wanted to hold an event, like a concert or sporting event at a city facility, they had to go through her. The concert promoter Bill Graham and my mom became good friends and needless to say I was invited to many of his concerts to sit on stage if I wanted. But she was very careful about abusing those privileges. Saw some great ones though. Years earlier, in 1964 and 1965 she took my sister and I to see the Beatles at the Cow Palace. She was dancing and screaming just like all the other girls. Great memories for sure.
'Think he's got a point.....' Yeah. And I do when I shoot point blank as well. I always know my target.' Dirty Harry was always on target. Never saw him shoot anybody who did not truly deserve it.
My favorite part is in the middle of this scene when Clint starts talking very technical about type of gun, bullet with a right hand twist etc. (way too technical for that mayor)
This clip proves that discourse hasn't really changed much in the fifty years since this film's release. The sanctimony of Harry's superior butting in, making absolutely sure he says the right thing, for his own purposes rather than anyone else's, counterpoint with Harry's straight shooting... literally and figuratively.
If you look at the series as a whole, that Lt (though he’s only in this movie and the Enforcer) is probably the only one of the higher ups that Harry respects more than simply tolerates. The straightforward manner in which the Lt lays it out to Harry (“you’re working with Gonzalez or you’re not working, straight from the 4th floor”) and the scene with Harry recovering on the couch in his office (vs the interactions Harry has with Capt “Personnel” McKay, Lt Briggs, and the non-memorable ones from the later movies). He knows not to try and change Harry, just keep in in environments where he does best and limit his exposure in places like the mayor’s office where he could do more harm to himself than good.
The stunning thing here is that Harry isn't the one who's out of control, it's the Chief/DA and his hotshot cop trio - Harry just reacts to what he encounters, they go over the line.
Callahan would be the cop that I wanna be if I was a cop. A Cowboy Cop who doesn't hesitate to violate rules or procedure when necessary and justifiable.
And you'd be out of a job in a flat second. Harry was in front of Internal Affairs so often he practically had them on his Christmas Card List, and that was in the 70s. While it may seem manly and dramatic that kind of Officer would never be allowed in todays Police, nor should he

"I figure a naked man running through a dark alley with a butcher knife and a hard on isn't out collecting for the red cross", "I think he's got a point" Yep, we could use that level of common sense a bit these days for sure.
In the US you are about 15 times more likely to get killed by the police than in other wealthy countries. Maybe a bit less of that "common sense" would be worth a try.
Another thing is he does not need or want to get in your face or be needlessly aggressive. A true measure of confidence is to be polite and courteous WHILE knowing you carry the big stick.
The violent crime rate today is pretty much on par with what it was when Dirty Harry was made. It shot up in the early 70s, peaked in the 90s, and has been going down ever since.
Harry once told his female partner that the place they were entering was the neighborhood chapter of the V.F.W. Very few whites. He get roasted today for that line.
1978 final line: He's got a point. 2022 final lline: Don't assume the pronouns or gender of the naked person holding a butcher knife chasing a [finger quotes] 'woman'. That's hate speech and you're fired. I'm sooo going on Twitter now to discuss this.
Very few movies barely come close to all the great movies that came out in the 70’s & 80’s.. Some movies made back then couldnt happen today with all the PC society we live in. Modern Mentality is creating something different with all the kids growing up thinking there is no 2nd place losers, everyone is a winner. Clint Eastwood set the standard high for modern actors!!
It’s very sad. I don’t believe anyone will be able to replace Clint Eastwood’s extremely well presented “badass” presence on screen (must assuredly his depiction of the character, “Dirty Harry.”)
pete saws Which do you think raised his blood pressure more...having to deal with a serial killer demanding ransom money from the city or putting up with a zoo fraternity causing a city riot?
380PPK The actor who played the serial killer in this movie had a hard time after it came out. He got real death threats. I know he didn't find much work after this. He ended up being a tour guide at the studio for years.
TheJer1963 yep you're absolutely right. Robinson is the actor's name. the director of the movie wanted an actor that looked almost like a choir boy because he wanted someone that the audience would least expect to be a serial killer basically a serial killer looks like everybody else kind of thing. unfortunately for mr. Robinson his acting was superb that it prevented him from finding work afterwards and he was immediately type casted. I think the only other movie that I seen him and was the movie Cobra with Sylvester Stallone.
Great clip, great lines, great acting, if only Mr Eastwood could act as well as Jennifer Aniston - that is a joke BTW 🤣 my mate liked Dirty Harry so much when the films came out he had t-shirt that looked like a Magnum tucked into his belt
Never gets old. John Vernon was a great actor with a fabulous voice. Other than usually needing a haircut, Clint dressed the part nicely and always looked respectable. I shudder to imagine trying to carry a 6.5" N frame concealed though. A 4" K frame or a 1911 is about the limit
All this modern day 'political correctness' & other disposable crap has caused more law & order problems in modern society making genuine law abiding citizens feel insecure. Liked 'Harry Justice, the Dirty way.'
You know Dirty Harry was just an average cop with a lot of common sense. What made Harry Callahan seem so bright was all of the common idiots around him ~ especially the Police Department..
San Francisco would be a better place if the SFPD had Inspector Harry Callahan and Lt. Frank Bullitt.
What about Frank Drebbin?
Maybe so, but I think Callahan and Bullitt would be disgusted by what it's become.

Point well taken
"I think he's got a point."
Thank you for the transcript
I wonder if the Red Cross would raise more funds if this was their collections strategy. 🤔🤔
I love Harry's face every time that guy interrupts him.
That guy is Bressler, Harry's boss.
This is actually fairly typical of LE management. Lt. Bressler is simply playing the part
I feel the irritation.
Bressler’s being a pain.
Poor Harry.
"When an adult male is chasing a woman with the intent to commit rape, I shoot the bastard, that's my policy"

Pretty cocky. How do you know the guy wasn't chasing the woman to collect money for the Red Cross???
@@ohger1 When a naked adult male is chasing a woman through an alleyway with a butcher knife and a hard on, I figured he isn't out collecting for the Red Cross.
Clint played this so well. Grew up in the 70s and he was awesome

After so many years, still a great movie!

Not all of them, but men were proud to be masculine then. I think that's a good thing.

If we can lower our flag for 12 days for the queen of england, we can lower it for 30 days for Clint.
@@terryallen9546 : yes. But maximum 30 days. A man's got to know his limitations.
No bail; and endless lawlessness in these times sure could use some DIRTY HARRY and CHARLES BRONSON vigilante justice ...
The violent crime rate today is pretty much on par with what it was when Dirty Harry was made. It shot up in the early 70s, peaked in the 90s, and has been going down ever since.
I really like Harry's outfit and hair cut.
If that is Vernon's office, where is the dead horse.? Oh...... Wrong movie.
"damn it all Harry, that's the Mayor you're talking to"
+hugodrax71 Played by Harry Guardino.
Harry Callaghan should have been president
"Helicopter patrols ... around the black area." #BLM would love that...
Harry once told his female partner that the place they were entering was the neighborhood chapter of the V.F.W. Very few whites. He get roasted today for that line.
1978 final line: He's got a point.
2022 final lline: Don't assume the pronouns or gender of the naked person holding a butcher knife chasing a [finger quotes] 'woman'. That's hate speech and you're fired. I'm sooo going on Twitter now to discuss this.
What a legend!!! The scene where he shoots the sniper from across a football field is awesome.
One of the best movies I've ever seen
I just realized, I can see where Hugh Jackman possibly got the influence of Wolverine's character in X-Men.
Possibly?
I now know where the Naked Gun got their “Julius Caesar in the Park” joke from.
Very few movies barely come close to all the great movies that came out in the 70’s & 80’s..
Some movies made back then couldnt happen today with all the PC society we live in.
Modern Mentality is creating something different with all the kids growing up thinking there is no 2nd place losers, everyone is a winner.
Clint Eastwood set the standard high for modern actors!!
One of the many great roles of Clint Eastwood. He would be perfect in SF right now. Go ahead make my day. 😀🤣😆
The look on his face when the Lt kept interrupting! Classic!🤣🤣🤣👍🏾
Stand Harry. It's a power position. You stand. Mayor sits. You have power over him. He can't punish you as severely from that position.
Classic scene.
I think that Harry Callahan and Frank Castle would be close friends.
They both don't have to act tough, they are tough 💪.
From mayor to dean wermer in animal house shows great acting range.
If Callahan isn’t careful, he’ll end up on double secret probation.
I guess San Fransicko hasn't changed much...
Mr. Blu----
Mr. Blutarski, zero point ZERO.
Don't forget Mr. Blutarski's response back at the frat house..."seven years of higher education down the drain."
Clint Eastwood might have been the last choice to play Harry Callahan but he was definitely the Right choice. We need more like him in the real world.
He's just an actor
The real world is a different thing
It’s very sad. I don’t believe anyone will be able to replace Clint Eastwood’s extremely well presented “badass” presence on screen (must assuredly his depiction of the character, “Dirty Harry.”)
I hope nobody tries to do a stupid remake with one of today's young "actors"
@@MrRjnr I’m in 100 percent agreement with you.
Dean Wormer is about to put Harry on double secret probation
Dean Vernon Wormer ( before he left law enforcement to run a college )
pete saws Which do you think raised his blood pressure more...having to deal with a serial killer demanding ransom money from the city or putting up with a zoo fraternity causing a city riot?
+pete saws great post ! lol
380PPK The actor who played the serial killer in this movie had a hard time after it came out. He got real death threats. I know he didn't find much work after this. He ended up being a tour guide at the studio for years.
TheJer1963 yep you're absolutely right. Robinson is the actor's name. the director of the movie wanted an actor that looked almost like a choir boy because he wanted someone that the audience would least expect to be a serial killer basically a serial killer looks like everybody else kind of thing. unfortunately for mr. Robinson his acting was superb that it prevented him from finding work afterwards and he was immediately type casted. I think the only other movie that I seen him and was the movie Cobra with Sylvester Stallone.
He played Garek in Star Trek DS9.
The mayor really isnt smart huh !
The greatest movies are the ones where MEN ACT LIKE MEN!
A different time. The scenes were played authentically. This film is a classic.
Great clip, great lines, great acting, if only Mr Eastwood could act as well as Jennifer Aniston - that is a joke BTW 🤣 my mate liked Dirty Harry so much when the films came out he had t-shirt that looked like a Magnum tucked into his belt
Never gets old. John Vernon was a great actor with a fabulous voice. Other than usually needing a haircut, Clint dressed the part nicely and always looked respectable. I shudder to imagine trying to carry a 6.5" N frame concealed though. A 4" K frame or a 1911 is about the limit
That’s “Iron Man”(1966) and “Dean Wormer” of “Animal House”(1978)!
@@johnrobinsoniii4028 Yep. And the officer in Josey Wales and some other things
lollll true justice imo. Well played Clint.
I was thinking the exact samething
We need more cops like him
I don't want anymore trouble like u had in the Fillmore district otherwise it's DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION 😂
All this modern day 'political correctness' & other disposable crap has caused more law & order problems in modern society making genuine law abiding citizens feel insecure. Liked 'Harry Justice, the Dirty way.'
Dean Wormer...double secret probation for Harry
You know Dirty Harry was just an average cop with a lot of common sense. What made Harry Callahan seem so bright was all of the common idiots around him ~ especially the Police Department..
I sure hope the 'woke movement' doesn't see this clip. They will cancel Dirty Harry.
The delusional woke pc fuckwits and the assortment of villains and lunatics they make excuses are the same no matter the decade.
