I love it! 51 Years ago people had exactly the same reactions you did to this film: cheered in the same spot, "yeah!" in the same spot, "wowed" them in the same spot. If you think people were different 51 years ago, they weren't.
This was the first of five Dirty Harry films: Dirty Harry (1971), Magnum Force (1973), The Enforcer (1976), Sudden Impact (1983) and The Dead Pool (1988) - so you've got a few to go at if you enjoyed this one. You could also check out Every Which Way but Loose (1978) and Any Which Way You Can (1980) with Clint as Philo Beddoe together with 'Clyde' - I think you'd love Clyde!
@@n0tk0sher It's interesting how everyone has a different opinion. I think the first is the purest and the best and with each new release being slightly worst than the previous one. I have to admit though that "Magnum Force" is a very, very close second.
I grew up watching this film in the early 80s and it is still one of my all time favourites. It was released in 1971 by the way. For most of my life l always found Scorpio evil and terrifying and the actor Andy Robinson who played him creepy. Then I saw him in other films and he seemed more likeable in various roles. A few years back l watched interviews with him on RUclips and he is such a lovely, mild mannered and peasant guy lol. I sent him a message on his Facebook messenger page soon after (sadly it seems to be inactive now) sending him my best wishes and told him about my experiences growing up with the film. I signed off with a little joke about getting off a bus if he got on... he actually replied and had a laugh about it and thanked me for getting in touch. So I've actually had a chat with one of the most iconic villains in movie history, who's such a great chap in real life. Here's the real Scorpio... shows what a great actor he is playing so evil a character on screen... ruclips.net/video/zR9fs0hq760/видео.html
I was born in SF just a few years after this came out so this movie is pretty nostalgic for me, showing me the City from when I was little. And the guy at Mt Davidson wasn't worried about being arrested for drugs. He was worried about being arrested on suspicion of prostitution
TB, in the 1970's every kid that played Cops and Robbers wanted to be Dirty Harry. That. 44 Magnum become iconic in the series. Harry always spoke his mind, there was no woke culture and he didn't care if he offended anyone. If they tried to do a re- boot of Dirty Harry today you'd have people standing around recording him on their phones, screaming police brutality. Glad I grew up in the 1970's when Cops could be Cops.
But you have to ask yourself Blue did he use 6 shots or only 5? Do you feel lucky Blue? Well Do you? One of the best quotes in a movie. Great reaction!!!
1. The late John Vernon (mayor) played Dean Warmer in Animal House. 2. Andrew Robinson was great in this thing. 3. A movie that is "Dirty Harry-ish" with Eastwood and Sandra Locke; is "The Gauntlet". It's a good flick 4. I saw this in the theater when I was 10 and it blew me away. 5. If/when you watch this again I dare you NOT to try to count Harry's shots in the final sequence.
Andrew Robinson is very much great, yeah. Terrified me as a kid. I love what they did in the Sidney Poitier film "Shoot to Kill", where you don't know who the bad guy is out of Robinson, Clancy Brown, Richard Masur and Frederick Coffin, all of whom have notoriously played movie villains, making it intriguing to know who the killer is.
Andy Robinson also was in a very good movie, "Charley Varrick" which Don Siegel also directed. Some "Dirty Harry" actors are also in this film like Woodrow Parfrey and Dean Wormer . . . uh I mean John Vernon. 😁
Don't know if you're a sci-fi fan, particularly of all the Star Trek franchises, but the killer, Andrew Robinson, does a great job in "Star Trek Deep Space Nine" as Garak, the Cardassian tailor". He has the most wickedly devilish smile in both characters.
Great reaction. I always wonder how younger people are going to react to these older movies and the difference in society. I appreciate that you really got into this one. Subscribed
No Blue not a western but Clint's Dirty Harry movies are very good in their own right. Sequels to Dirty Harry(1971) include Magnum Force (1973), The Enforcer (1976), Sudden Impact (1983) and The Dead Pool (1988). Blue of all the characters Clint Eastwood has portrayed in his long career, Dirty Harry is easily his most famous and recognizable.
26:30 etc… The issue here is that Harry didn’t get a search warrant before entering the stadium (the suspect’s home) and thus the search was illegal, which means they can’t use anything they found there as evidence to prove guilt in court. “The law” in this case is the US Constitution, Amendment 4. Since the standard here is that a person on trial is “innocent until proven guilty”, it’s the job of the DIstrict Attorney to bring evidence into court to prove the guy guilty… but because Harry didn’t follow the rules, they can’t do that. Which is why the DA is mad at Harry. They had a solid case, and he blew it by breaking the rules. Of course it’s infuriating to the audience watching (me included when I first saw it) but you’re actually seeing the key issue of the story here - the line between a cop doing his damndest to stop a dangerous criminal, and a cop abusing his power and violating people’s basic rights. There isn’t always an easy answer in some situations, and that’s one reason people are still watching this movie 50 years later.🧐 It helps to know a bit about what we call “the Bill of Rights”, the first 10 amendments to the US Constitution. We’ve been wrestling with issues like that from the beginning, and we do get it wrong a lot of the time… but most police drama centers on questions like these. Which is what I think makes the Dirty Harry films such classics. Behind all the action, there’s quite a bit to think about.😎
BTW if you watch any of the other films in the series, there’s at least one where Harry is up against fellow police officers who are the murderers. But I won’t spoil it by telling you which one.😁
I'm still waiting for the franchise crossover: Dirty Harry Potter. "Right. I know what you're thinking, yeah? 'Did he obliviate 6 times, or only 5?' Well, to tell you the truth, in all the excitement of playing quidditch, I kinda lost track myself. But this 11 inch wand is made of holly with a possessed phoenix feather core and'll blow your head clean off. So ya gotta ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky, or am I a right git?'. Well, do ya then, tosser?"
Hey Blue!🙂$100,000 adjusted for inflation today would be $735,832. A great film with an all star cast including Clint Eastwood is "Kelly's Heroes" (1970). It is a comedy/war/adventure film and is highly liked. If you are looking for a great western with great stars try "3:10 to Yuma" (2007). This is a wonderful western that is highly rated. Another highly rated western is "Tombstone" (1993) with another great all star cast. Nice reactions to the original Dirty Harry which is still great over 50 years later!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
@@paulc8617 Yup and if you noticed in pale rider and high Plains drifter which came 1st Eastwood is dressed the same and rides a horse simalar to pale rider...,in pale rider Eastwood who is the preacher is really a ghost
Once again, greetings from Indianapolis. Love your reaction. 🤩. The gentleman playing the killer was wondering why he was chosen for the role, and was told he had the look of a boy scout.
All the Harry's Now Trixy.💯👍❤️😆 Once you go down , that Rabbit Hole, Gotta do em, all.😆👍💯 , Clint Eastwood, Movies.💯, You are Charmingly Funny 🤣💯 , and Hilarious 😆, thanks ❤️, for ,the Reaction. And of course the rest of Clint's Great Ones.
Man, did I love these films. Dirty Harry (1971), Magnum Force (1973), The Enforcer (1976), Sudden Impact (1983) and The Dead Pool (1988) I hope you check them all out, Trixy.
The killer was modeled after a real serial killer in the Bay Area, especially Vallejo my hometown. They never caught him. They made a movie on that with Jake Gyllenhaal. I love seeing the old San Francisco of my childhood, so much has changed. I stayed at the hotel where the girl was shot in the pool, it's next to Chinatown & portsmouth square. There's no longer a rooftop pool, it's way to cold for that.
As a kid I lived right across from Warner Bros studios and our neighbor worked there. He got me in to watch the bank shootout scene which was filmed on the W/B back lot. I remember seeing this tall guy and saying to myself he looks like the guy from The Good The Bad and The Ugly.
I'm very glad you enjoyed this. My dad used to enjoy the dirty Harry films. Rest his soul. Now, I want you to react to... *The outlaw Josey Wales!* Starring Clint Eastwood himself. A fine Western film 😎
Wow! And I thought Ellie was hardcore about her revenge! I hope I *never* cross Trixie over something she's _serious_ about! What a reaction! In the U.S., any officer who enters a residence or private business without a warrant will have *everything* found there ... thrown out of court, as *completely* unusable (the word is 'inadmissable') in court. In fact, if the investigators find something someplace that they found *because* of something from the 'inadmissible search' ... that's 'gone' too! 'Fruit of the poisoned tree' is the phrase. Yeah, it can cause trouble. It took police departments 20 years to adapt their methods to the revised new paradigm of the law. It still, even now, causes problems ... because somebody didn't get a legal document *properly* filled out! Looking forward to seeing all the rest of Dirty Harry's movies with you! A few times my brother and I have done a day-long binge of all the DH movies; it would've been *so* _awesome_ to have you there! Thanks for this! *Enjoy the rest of the DH movies!*
@@Metzwerg74 - are you aware of the specific reasons for the changes? (Hint: it has to do with something that happened in 1791.) Up until the mid-to-late 60s, whatever evidence that law enforcement found (whatever it was and however they found it) was considered to be fully usable, unless - during a trial - a lawyer could argue/demonstrate that it should be ignored, or at least dis-counted and considered to be a lesser level of importance in the case. This is why, prior to the 60s, in a police/detective show or movie the person being arrested, if they objected and said "... but this isn't fair, it's not like what you're saying!" You would hear the cop/D.A. say "tell it to the judge!" or "tell it to the jury!" Back then the person's lawyer would try to convince the judge or jury that some evidence didn't really matter, or should be ignored. By the early 70s, that had changed.
@@ephennell4ever well about every other country sees american law as idiotic because what is written is usually not what is done... it´s all how good your lawyer can twist the truth and lie....
@@Metzwerg74 That's not why American law is crazy. It's because the country doesn't have a unified set of laws. There are something like 16,000 different sets of laws in the US. Federal blankets them all, then State laws, then county and local municipality laws. All of them can be written slightly different from each other but none of them can violate your Constitutional Rights as a citizen. Illegal search and seizure is a BIG no no. So no warrant everything found is not admissible in court. The only circumstance that would make entering without a warrant legal is if the police were actually following a suspect from the scene of a crime they witnessed. Like following bank robbers who flee their car and enter into a building.
Yes, that's how the justice system works, to protect the rights of the accused. If they didn't all a dishonest cop had to do was torture someone until they got a confession, whether the person was guilty or not. At the time (1971) there was a widespread reaction to perceived police brutality in the 1960s, so the rights of the accused became important. They deliberately set the scene up where the girl was dying, and Harry was trying to find her before that happened. In truth, it was not uncommon for cops to plant evidence, or lie to a judge in order to get an (invalid) warrant. The screenwriter had Harry ask "what about the rights of the victims?" Believe it or not, but the movie was (and still is in some circles) widely seen as fascistic. In later movies we see another side to Harry, where he reacts to cops who break the law to kill criminals where there's not enough evidence to charge them. Even in this movie, he's not gratuitously killing people, but only those in the act of committing a crime. Fun Fact: after the movie came out, the popularity of the Smith & Wesson Model 29 (the gun Harry used) skyrocketed in popularity. For a few year it was just about impossible to buy one.
Your RamBlue reactions, lol! "Was he born too early?!!" That cracked me up; You do get invested, and your reactions show it, nice. To an original viewer here as the series came out, this one and Magnum Force were and remain my two faves of the series. Harry represents the no bs side of most viewers in the theaters at the time; just find the guy and deal with him once, period. We shared your outrage at the way he was caught red-handed, then just let go by the wimpy handwringers. I groaned an epithet out loud at the screen too, which would have been bad form back in the 70's; if there weren't several others doing it!
When I turned 21 I bought a 6" S&W Model 29 .44mag (brand new for 350 bucks back in the 80s) and a Bianchi shoulder holster. They served me well. I eventually sold/traded away the revolver and I've always regretted it, even after replacing it with a Ruger Redhawk. It just wasn't the same.
This movie kicked off a big "pro vigilante" movement which the production team smartly walked back in the second film and I think should be mandatory watching after this. Thankfully the popularity of citizen justice died out in the late '80s but not after a large number of unfortunate events.
The pendulum is swinging back. Check out the videos on RUclips and elsewhere of people walking into stores, filling bags, and just walking out because they know the police aren't likely to arrest them. And if they actually do get caught, they'll be let go. Then the regular customers are told they have to pay more to cover the cost of the theft. There is a growing feeling that the justice system isn't only broken, it's rigged against honest people. Eventually there will be a mob or vigilante response. Unfortunately those people probably will be punished.
Trixy is really pumping out one classic after the other these days. What a packed schedule. Not complaining though, that's great. All quality reactions. And the "electrician in the making"-cat is back... 😀
Yes you need a warrant. That said there are well enumerated ‘warrant exceptions’. One of those is ‘exigent circumstances’, meaning there’s imminent danger to someone/imminent threat of the destruction of evidence/imminent threat of escape…so essentially: an absolute emergency, etc. This would apply here. A buried girl, going to die…as well as the suspect trying to escape, etc. That she was already dead likely wouldn’t matter as, at the time, the information at hand was that she was alive & was in serious danger of death.
That's a sniper aim, yes. Scorpio is based on a real life serial killer called The Zodiac Killer, who was never caught. When they finally did solved who he really was, it was too late because The Zodiac Killer was already dead.
One of the original gritty cop dramas. I kinda go back and forth between this and Magnum Force which is the best Dirty Harry movie. Glad to see that you liked it.
In the U.S the 4th ammendment of the constitution means you can't search a place like a house or car that a person has a "reasonable expectation of privacy" without a warrant. Any evidence obtained would be "fruit of the poisonous tree". Not only that evidence, but any other evidence that evidence leads you to is inadmissible in court. In this case the lawyer is asserting the killer had a reasonably expectation in Kezar statium he was squatting in. A dubious distinction at best.
A few actors have ERAS, Clint is one. He was a gunslinger, police detective, FBI agent etc, director etc...he's really something.
Год назад+3
The Clint Eastwood's _Dirty Harry_ franchise had back then the Charles Bronson's _Death Wish_ as its rival vigilantism franchise. If you are going to introduce yourself to Charles Bronson's films the best one to begin is the spaghetti western _Once Upon A Time In The West_ from 1968 with Henry Fonda, Sergio Leone as director, and music by Ennio Morricone.
"Alice" was looking for a gay pickup in the park. It wasn't drug code. He mentioned the vice squad because it was still basically illegal to be gay then and vice officers would arrest young gay men if they caught them.
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is loosely a prequel to A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More. You should watch both of them. Be aware that some actors appear in two or more of these movies and usually as different characters.
@@cameronblack3202 the weaponry from The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, as well as the story itself, place it during the American Civil War. The other two films, although filmed and released prior, are post Civil War. Blondie gets his trademarked poncho towards the end of Good/Bad/Ugly, which he wears in both of the other films.
OH NO!! You just opened Pandora's Box! Dirty Harry is an excellent series! Way ahead of its time. Now, you gotta see the others. They just get better after this one. Trust us all, you won't regret it! Lol
The Man With No Name trilogy (in order) - A Fistfull of Dollars, For A Few Dollars More & The Good, The Bad & The Ugly (which you have seen & that's ok because that one was a prequel)
If Clint had had a shower at the start of this movie it would be "Clean Harry". More Clint movies to check out. Pale Rider (1985) Western directed by Clint, similar to his spaghetti westerns. Where Eagles Dare (1968) WWII action adventure, set in the German Alps. One of the few movies my mom saw at the cinema whilst growing up. Kelly's Heroes (1970) WWII comedy, where they attempt to steal gold bars from behind enemy lines in France. The Character of Judge Dredd was partly inspired by Dirty Harry, If you read some of the early stories, you can see how similar they are. Also Robocop was inspired by Judge Dredd, so you can see the connection between Robocop and Dirty Harry.
I get how they their way around the city. My father was a firefighter in a major city and when he said when he started in 1982 part of the training after being assigned at HQ was to memorize the city map and be able to work out the quickest route on command. He said it was the same for the newbies at police HQ next door and they would bet each other on who knew the city best. Police had the advantage of going out on patrols.
Yes "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" Is related to "A Fistfull of Dollars" and "For a Few Dollars More". Clint is the same character in all 3 of those Italian made "Spaghetti Westerns". Now you've seen Clint in one of his other big genres, the cop movie. He is also in war movies. If you want to see one of them, I would suggest either "Where Eagles Dare", or "Kelly's Heroes".
The American male grew up on westerns and movies like this The 44 mag in the movie went from $175 each to over $800 on the used market. Interest in handguns in America is 'high' to say the least, LOL we can pretty much all hit a man sized target at 100 yards with a handgun. Takes years to learn but not that hard. My girlfriend hits 2 liter sodas at 100 yards 2 or three times out of six. Let's just say that it has given her a 'level of confidence'
“Once Upon A Time In The West” Is not only one of the best westerns of all time, it’s so beautifully shot, it’s like a scrolling piece of parchment it’s so elegant. Tremendous actions And the masterful Ennio Morricone You’ll love it The old classic westerns are amazing “She Wore A Yellow Ribbon” is another beautifully shot film.
I only realized now that Harry at many points in the film could have simply lied about the antagonist to convict him, but instead always told the truth. Even at the end he could have just lied about him going for his gun, but instead didn’t. Really upheld the ideals of a hero and became one.
There is a whole series of Dirty Harry movies and they are all good, not cowboy but anti-hero movies. One great cowboy movie I think you will like is The Cowboys starring John Wayne.
They aren't anti-hero movies, if anything they are trying to be uber-hero movies. Harry Callahan is virtually a psychopath. He's desperate to be a hero, in a society which he feels it is lacking. It's a fragile white masculinity, later seen in Travis Bickle, which motivates him. No moral qualms at all.
REALLY GOOD , one of the best of the genre, Andy Robinson is so good as Scorpio , the sequels not so good but 3rd one The Enforcer with Tyne Daly as Harry's side kick is enjoyable.
here is interesting film - ~ ≈ • FIREFOX • ≈ ~ - it's a 1982 American action techno-thriller film produced, directed by and starring Clint Eastwood. It is based upon the 1977 novel of the same name by Craig Thomas.
The spaghetti Western trilogy is semi-connected. The three central characters are very similar. Each was made in the summer, on three consecutive years, when Eastwood was on hiatus from his TV show. Leone dropped very obscure, weird, little hints that the last movie, "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" was a prequel.
5:22 Talk about pollution was reference to the San Francisco oil spil on January 18, 1971 when two tanker ships collided and 800,000 gallons of oil spilled in result. It was the largest oil spill in the Bay and second one in California after Santa Barbara spill in 1969. There were 4 million gallons.
Under American jurisprudence, evidence obtained illegally is in violation of our Fourth Amendment. The remedy the courts of sort it out, is to simply not allow it to be admitted into evidence. It is controversial, and at that time still being fleshed out in courts, but it is the law.
There's another similar movie from this same era, Death Wish with Charles Bronson. There are also a number of sequels. Bronson plays a vigilante, he is not a cop. p.s. there is a remake from the 2000s with Bruce Willis, that's not the one I am talking about.
First: Dimi running around at the beginning of the video was awesomely cute. Second: This movie was a response to laws restricting the actions of police that people had deemed abusive, as well as the passing of Miranda Rights, and people growing cold on the use of the death penalty. Third: That is not how evidence collection laws worked, even back then. That scene was written purely to infuriate audiences. However... Fourth: Harry definitely broke the Scorpio Killer's civil rights when he shot an unarmed man and then tortured him for the location of his latest victim. This should be seen as unacceptable by everyone. I love the way the stuntman flips over in that scene, but police should not be allowed to do that, no matter the other circumstances. I still mostly enjoy this movie, but some things in it just don't sit well with me anymore.
Firstly, Dimi running is always a great way to start a video :) Secondly, I fully agree with your comments to the historical stuff to the movie! I see your point, and I love the movie, but, I see the film as a product of the time, when it was made, the society as it was, cinematography etc so, for me it still sits well as a whole. You do make valid points :) and Good read!
We (the audience) got to watch the killer commit his crimes and we know he is guilty. But the characters within the movie have to work with partial information. The killer has rights and because they were violated (though the viewers by and large would agree that "he had it coming") the evidence had to be tossed out. In the real world we usually don't get to see the criminals commit their crimes. It is possible that the person the police assume committed a crime is in fact innocent, so the legal system has rules to protect the rights of the accused. The theory is that everyone is innocent until they are PROVEN guilty, not innocent until an officer assumes they are guilty. And there have been a lot of cases where someone was convicted and then years later the conviction was overturned. Some were due to a technicality, but some because there is good evidence that the accused was in fact innocent all along. Sometimes a cop or prosecutor lied. Sometimes the evidence that proves the person accused could not be the guilty person wasn't found, or the technology to confirm it wasn't them, such as DNA testing, wasn't available until later. While as a viewer I hate seeing a sleazebag like the Scorpio killer in this movie "get away", I also wouldn't want us to throw out the rules that make it harder for an innocent person to be put away for crimes they did not commit. Unfortunately real life is not as clear as a movie.
@@robertmartin9029 I love very much the depth you explain this and if I recall rightly, this is sort of brought up in the sequels such as "Magnum Force" which as well as the rest, are watched too. There are indeed rules they have to follow and the law enforcement doesn't have the luxury of knowing the crime has been commited by said person as in the movies. This is why I LOVE the tv-films of "Columbo". The sequels do bring up issues as well.
The 'Spaghetti' Westerns as they are called (Spaghetti because Italians made these movies and they were shot in Southern Spain as is the only Desert in Europe). Under the incredible Direction of Sergio Leone.. lots of filming techniques he developed were copied later by other directors. The film are a trilogy but with unrelated story lines.. some actors play good guys in some and bad in others.. Clint Eastwood's character (the man with no name) is the only constant. You actually watched the third and last one... in order they are...A Fist Full of Dollars ..A Few Dollars More ... The Good the Bad and the Ugly.. and all are classics... sound track by legendary Italian composer Ennio Morricone... brilliant sound track especially The G / B and Ugly.
I love it! 51 Years ago people had exactly the same reactions you did to this film: cheered in the same spot, "yeah!" in the same spot, "wowed" them in the same spot. If you think people were different 51 years ago, they weren't.
No nonsense law enforcers, who actually only hate predators, are always appreciated.
Very well said, Lawrence!
@@gazlator Thanks. All you have to do is watch "Rocky Horror Picture Show" (1975) to see that there is nothing new under the sun!
The number of movies made since "Dirty Harry" which tried to capture the same vibe almost always failed is countless. Iconic.
This was the first of five Dirty Harry films: Dirty Harry (1971), Magnum Force (1973), The Enforcer (1976), Sudden Impact (1983) and The Dead Pool (1988) - so you've got a few to go at if you enjoyed this one. You could also check out Every Which Way but Loose (1978) and Any Which Way You Can (1980) with Clint as Philo Beddoe together with 'Clyde' - I think you'd love Clyde!
@David McLeod Or Dirty Harry 3.5, better known as The Gauntlet.
Eastwood's Sondra Locke era is one of his best.
The Dirty Harry are all good. Great franchise.
@@LordVolkov I agree. And Sudden Impact is imo the best Dirty Harry flick.
@@n0tk0sher It's interesting how everyone has a different opinion. I think the first is the purest and the best and with each new release being slightly worst than the previous one. I have to admit though that "Magnum Force" is a very, very close second.
"$100,000 isn't a lot of money."
In 1971 a new car was around $3,000.
damn
It would be roughly $800,000 today.
Trixy: Should I react to the sequels?
Harry: Go ahead, make my day!
LOLZ
Andrew Robinson is a very underrated actor that has played so many parts brilliantly. He deserves better, IMO.
Yeah,a good actor.ofc,this is the role he will alwaays be remembered for.
Indeed! My favorite all-time movie psycho 😄
I grew up watching this film in the early 80s and it is still one of my all time favourites. It was released in 1971 by the way.

I sent him a message on his Facebook messenger page soon after (sadly it seems to be inactive now) sending him my best wishes and told him about my experiences growing up with the film. I signed off with a little joke about getting off a bus if he got on... he actually replied and had a laugh about it and thanked me for getting in touch. So I've actually had a chat with one of the most iconic villains in movie history, who's such a great chap in real life.
Here's the real Scorpio... shows what a great actor he is playing so evil a character on screen...

It warms my heart to see a blue-haired, pierced girl rooting for Harry. There is hope in the world. You should do "Death Wish" (1974) next.
The piercing sucks, but she sure looks mighty pretty with the blue hair. Hopefully no tattoos anywhere.
But you have to ask yourself Blue did he use 6 shots or only 5? Do you feel lucky Blue? Well Do you? One of the best quotes in a movie. Great reaction!!!

1. The late John Vernon (mayor) played Dean Warmer in Animal House.
2. Andrew Robinson was great in this thing.
3. A movie that is "Dirty Harry-ish" with Eastwood and Sandra Locke; is "The Gauntlet".
It's a good flick
4. I saw this in the theater when I was 10 and it blew me away.
5. If/when you watch this again I dare you NOT to try to count Harry's shots in the final sequence.
when Andrew Robinson showed up on Star Trek: DS9 I was most pleased
Andrew Robinson is very much great, yeah. Terrified me as a kid. I love what they did in the Sidney Poitier film "Shoot to Kill", where you don't know who the bad guy is out of Robinson, Clancy Brown, Richard Masur and Frederick Coffin, all of whom have notoriously played movie villains, making it intriguing to know who the killer is.
Andy Robinson also was in a very good movie, "Charley Varrick" which Don Siegel also directed. Some "Dirty Harry" actors are also in this film like Woodrow Parfrey and Dean Wormer . . . uh I mean John Vernon. 😁
John Vermont also played in the outlaw joasey wales and Andy Robinson played the dad in the original hellraiser
The Gauntlet was and still is a ridiculous bad movie.
Don't know if you're a sci-fi fan, particularly of all the Star Trek franchises, but the killer, Andrew Robinson, does a great job in "Star Trek Deep Space Nine" as Garak, the Cardassian tailor". He has the most wickedly devilish smile in both characters.
He also played the father in the first "Hellraiser" movie.
Great reaction. I always wonder how younger people are going to react to these older movies and the difference in society. I appreciate that you really got into this one. Subscribed
No Blue not a western but Clint's Dirty Harry movies are very good in their own right. Sequels to Dirty Harry(1971) include Magnum Force (1973), The Enforcer (1976), Sudden Impact (1983) and The Dead Pool (1988). Blue of all the characters Clint Eastwood has portrayed in his long career, Dirty Harry is easily his most famous and recognizable.
26:30 etc… The issue here is that Harry didn’t get a search warrant before entering the stadium (the suspect’s home) and thus the search was illegal, which means they can’t use anything they found there as evidence to prove guilt in court. “The law” in this case is the US Constitution, Amendment 4. Since the standard here is that a person on trial is “innocent until proven guilty”, it’s the job of the DIstrict Attorney to bring evidence into court to prove the guy guilty… but because Harry didn’t follow the rules, they can’t do that. Which is why the DA is mad at Harry. They had a solid case, and he blew it by breaking the rules.
Of course it’s infuriating to the audience watching (me included when I first saw it) but you’re actually seeing the key issue of the story here - the line between a cop doing his damndest to stop a dangerous criminal, and a cop abusing his power and violating people’s basic rights. There isn’t always an easy answer in some situations, and that’s one reason people are still watching this movie 50 years later.🧐
It helps to know a bit about what we call “the Bill of Rights”, the first 10 amendments to the US Constitution. We’ve been wrestling with issues like that from the beginning, and we do get it wrong a lot of the time… but most police drama centers on questions like these. Which is what I think makes the Dirty Harry films such classics. Behind all the action, there’s quite a bit to think about.😎
BTW if you watch any of the other films in the series, there’s at least one where Harry is up against fellow police officers who are the murderers. But I won’t spoil it by telling you which one.😁
Interesting how the young people of today have no clue about how things were back in the time when these movies were made.
I'm still waiting for the franchise crossover: Dirty Harry Potter.
"Right. I know what you're thinking, yeah? 'Did he obliviate 6 times, or only 5?' Well, to tell you the truth, in all the excitement of playing quidditch, I kinda lost track myself. But this 11 inch wand is made of holly with a possessed phoenix feather core and'll blow your head clean off. So ya gotta ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky, or am I a right git?'. Well, do ya then, tosser?"
he is not a kid he is a 29 year old adult with a baby face. that is the reason he got the part in this movie. true story
then I guess you know that the kid he's holding hostage at the end is his stepson.
The movie was also filmed during the early years of the Zodiac Killings in San Francisco.
I really appreciate the fact that you watching movie from the 60s and the 70s, some time those old great classic tend to be forgotten.
60s & 70s movies got repeated like hell in public television at the height of the 80s, impossible to forget those.
A total classic! The first and best film of the entire Dirty Harry series!
The character of Scorpio was based on the real life Zodiac Killer.
If you haven't watched Gran Torino yet please do. It's an excellent movie!
Hey Blue!🙂$100,000 adjusted for inflation today would be $735,832. A great film with an all star cast including Clint Eastwood is "Kelly's Heroes" (1970). It is a comedy/war/adventure film and is highly liked. If you are looking for a great western with great stars try "3:10 to Yuma" (2007). This is a wonderful western that is highly rated. Another highly rated western is "Tombstone" (1993) with another great all star cast. Nice reactions to the original Dirty Harry which is still great over 50 years later!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Truth be told, I'm not big on the Western genre, BUT my personal favorite that stars him is The Unforgiven.
Its good but many westerns Eastwood has done are better than Unforgiven.
And this one's not even a Western
Pale rider is a dam good one
@@paulc8617 Yup and if you noticed in pale rider and high Plains drifter which came 1st Eastwood is dressed the same and rides a horse simalar to pale rider...,in pale rider Eastwood who is the preacher is really a ghost
Watch Unforgiven
For a cold war thriller starring East Clintwood check out "Firefox" (1982) it's an under-rated gem.
💪🏾😎
Loved that one. " I'm coming in at 20 feet." Throwing up twin rooster tails of water.
and that my love is why so many of us love our 2nd amendment. When seconds count and all...
"You have to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky? Well, do you Punk?"
Classic eastwood style
Hell yeah
Scorpio was based on the Zodiac killer who was active in the San Francisco Bay Area at the time
Blue, you need to watch Clint Eastwood in a comedy called Every Which Way but Loose. I think you will love his pet that goes everywhere with him.
Once again, greetings from Indianapolis. Love your reaction. 🤩. The gentleman playing the killer was wondering why he was chosen for the role, and was told he had the look of a boy scout.
All the Harry's Now Trixy.💯👍❤️😆 Once you go down , that Rabbit Hole, Gotta do em, all.😆👍💯 , Clint Eastwood, Movies.💯, You are Charmingly Funny 🤣💯 , and Hilarious 😆, thanks ❤️, for ,the Reaction. And of course the rest of Clint's Great Ones.
You should be doing Clint in
A Fist Full of Dollars
followed by
For a Few Dollars More
those are the related Westerns 😉
Man, did I love these films. Dirty Harry (1971), Magnum Force (1973), The Enforcer (1976), Sudden Impact (1983) and The Dead Pool (1988) I hope you check them all out, Trixy.
BTW Clint never loses count of how many rounds he has discharged.
The killer was modeled after a real serial killer in the Bay Area, especially Vallejo my hometown. They never caught him. They made a movie on that with Jake Gyllenhaal. I love seeing the old San Francisco of my childhood, so much has changed. I stayed at the hotel where the girl was shot in the pool, it's next to Chinatown & portsmouth square. There's no longer a rooftop pool, it's way to cold for that.
Dirty Harry has some of the most iconic lines in all of cinematic history.
Trixie, Clint Eastwood is a genre unto himself and a national treasure favorite son here in the states.
Clint just makes me happy by saying feeling lucky punk
I have to say Trixy, that is the proper way to watch Dirty Harry. I loved it. Well done.
Yeah those search and seizure laws suck until a cop is pulling you out of your car at 2AM because he thinks he smells pot or booze in your car.
As a kid I lived right across from Warner Bros studios and our neighbor worked there. He got me in to watch the bank shootout scene which was filmed on the W/B back lot. I remember seeing this tall guy and saying to myself he looks like the guy from The Good The Bad and The Ugly.

I'm very glad you enjoyed this. My dad used to enjoy the dirty Harry films. Rest his soul.
Now, I want you to react to... *The outlaw Josey Wales!* Starring Clint Eastwood himself. A fine Western film 😎
Wow! And I thought Ellie was hardcore about her revenge! I hope I *never* cross Trixie over something she's _serious_ about! What a reaction!
In the U.S., any officer who enters a residence or private business without a warrant will have *everything* found there ... thrown out of court, as *completely* unusable (the word is 'inadmissable') in court. In fact, if the investigators find something someplace that they found *because* of something from the 'inadmissible search' ... that's 'gone' too! 'Fruit of the poisoned tree' is the phrase. Yeah, it can cause trouble. It took police departments 20 years to adapt their methods to the revised new paradigm of the law. It still, even now, causes problems ... because somebody didn't get a legal document *properly* filled out!
Looking forward to seeing all the rest of Dirty Harry's movies with you! A few times my brother and I have done a day-long binge of all the DH movies; it would've been *so* _awesome_ to have you there!
Thanks for this!
*Enjoy the rest of the DH movies!*
the idiocy of american law...
@@Metzwerg74 - are you aware of the specific reasons for the changes? (Hint: it has to do with something that happened in 1791.)
Up until the mid-to-late 60s, whatever evidence that law enforcement found (whatever it was and however they found it) was considered to be fully usable, unless - during a trial - a lawyer could argue/demonstrate that it should be ignored, or at least dis-counted and considered to be a lesser level of importance in the case. This is why, prior to the 60s, in a police/detective show or movie the person being arrested, if they objected and said "... but this isn't fair, it's not like what you're saying!" You would hear the cop/D.A. say "tell it to the judge!" or "tell it to the jury!" Back then the person's lawyer would try to convince the judge or jury that some evidence didn't really matter, or should be ignored. By the early 70s, that had changed.
@@ephennell4ever well about every other country sees american law as idiotic because what is written is usually not what is done... it´s all how good your lawyer can twist the truth and lie....
@@Metzwerg74 That's not why American law is crazy.
It's because the country doesn't have a unified set of laws. There are something like 16,000 different sets of laws in the US.
Federal blankets them all, then State laws, then county and local municipality laws.
All of them can be written slightly different from each other but none of them can violate your Constitutional Rights as a citizen.
Illegal search and seizure is a BIG no no. So no warrant everything found is not admissible in court. The only circumstance that would make entering without a warrant legal is if the police were actually following a suspect from the scene of a crime they witnessed. Like following bank robbers who flee their car and enter into a building.
Many European countries have similar laws.@@Metzwerg74
Yes, that's how the justice system works, to protect the rights of the accused. If they didn't all a dishonest cop had to do was torture someone until they got a confession, whether the person was guilty or not.
At the time (1971) there was a widespread reaction to perceived police brutality in the 1960s, so the rights of the accused became important. They deliberately set the scene up where the girl was dying, and Harry was trying to find her before that happened.
In truth, it was not uncommon for cops to plant evidence, or lie to a judge in order to get an (invalid) warrant. The screenwriter had Harry ask "what about the rights of the victims?"
Believe it or not, but the movie was (and still is in some circles) widely seen as fascistic.
In later movies we see another side to Harry, where he reacts to cops who break the law to kill criminals where there's not enough evidence to charge them.
Even in this movie, he's not gratuitously killing people, but only those in the act of committing a crime.
Fun Fact: after the movie came out, the popularity of the Smith & Wesson Model 29 (the gun Harry used) skyrocketed in popularity. For a few year it was just about impossible to buy one.
Andrew Robinson gave such a great performance that he's been typecast as a villain ever since.
Your RamBlue reactions, lol! "Was he born too early?!!" That cracked me up; You do get invested, and your reactions show it, nice. To an original viewer here as the series came out, this one and Magnum Force were and remain my two faves of the series. Harry represents the no bs side of most viewers in the theaters at the time; just find the guy and deal with him once, period. We shared your outrage at the way he was caught red-handed, then just let go by the wimpy handwringers. I groaned an epithet out loud at the screen too, which would have been bad form back in the 70's; if there weren't several others doing it!
Please give STAR TREK a chance. 🖖
When I turned 21 I bought a 6" S&W Model 29 .44mag (brand new for 350 bucks back in the 80s) and a Bianchi shoulder holster. They served me well. I eventually sold/traded away the revolver and I've always regretted it, even after replacing it with a Ruger Redhawk. It just wasn't the same.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Dirty Harry. Hope you stay for more adventures..
This movie kicked off a big "pro vigilante" movement which the production team smartly walked back in the second film and I think should be mandatory watching after this. Thankfully the popularity of citizen justice died out in the late '80s but not after a large number of unfortunate events.
The pendulum is swinging back. Check out the videos on RUclips and elsewhere of people walking into stores, filling bags, and just walking out because they know the police aren't likely to arrest them. And if they actually do get caught, they'll be let go.
Then the regular customers are told they have to pay more to cover the cost of the theft.
There is a growing feeling that the justice system isn't only broken, it's rigged against honest people. Eventually there will be a mob or vigilante response. Unfortunately those people probably will be punished.
This came out in 1971 he was 41 years old when he made it. Your covering so great movies! Good job! 👍🏻
Terrific! It was a lot of fun watching this with you. Thanks.
Check out Every witch way but loose it a good Clint Eastwood movie
Or anywhich way you can.
Right turn, Clyde!
The way the bikers are always getting the shit kicked outta em is hilarious.😂Great movies
Trixy is really pumping out one classic after the other these days. What a packed schedule. Not complaining though, that's great. All quality reactions. And the "electrician in the making"-cat is back... 😀
Yes you need a warrant. That said there are well enumerated ‘warrant exceptions’. One of those is ‘exigent circumstances’, meaning there’s imminent danger to someone/imminent threat of the destruction of evidence/imminent threat of escape…so essentially: an absolute emergency, etc.
This would apply here. A buried girl, going to die…as well as the suspect trying to escape, etc. That she was already dead likely wouldn’t matter as, at the time, the information at hand was that she was alive & was in serious danger of death.
That's a sniper aim, yes. Scorpio is based on a real life serial killer called The Zodiac Killer, who was never caught. When they finally did solved who he really was, it was too late because The Zodiac Killer was already dead.
Fun Fact:
Clint Eastwood did all of his stunts. No stunt double...
Oh yea!! “Pale Rider” and “The Outlaw, Josey Wales”.
Clint Eastwood reminds me of my dad.
I was a police detective for ten years. My teenage son's friends called me Dirty Terry.
Nice to see folks starting to react to dirty harry.
One of the original gritty cop dramas. I kinda go back and forth between this and Magnum Force which is the best Dirty Harry movie. Glad to see that you liked it.
In the U.S the 4th ammendment of the constitution means you can't search a place like a house or car that a person has a "reasonable expectation of privacy" without a warrant. Any evidence obtained would be "fruit of the poisonous tree". Not only that evidence, but any other evidence that evidence leads you to is inadmissible in court. In this case the lawyer is asserting the killer had a reasonably expectation in Kezar statium he was squatting in. A dubious distinction at best.
A few actors have ERAS, Clint is one. He was a gunslinger, police detective, FBI agent etc, director etc...he's really something.
The Clint Eastwood's _Dirty Harry_ franchise had back then the Charles Bronson's _Death Wish_ as its rival vigilantism franchise. If you are going to introduce yourself to Charles Bronson's films the best one to begin is the spaghetti western _Once Upon A Time In The West_ from 1968 with Henry Fonda, Sergio Leone as director, and music by Ennio Morricone.
"Alice" was looking for a gay pickup in the park. It wasn't drug code. He mentioned the vice squad because it was still basically illegal to be gay then and vice officers would arrest young gay men if they caught them.
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is loosely a prequel to A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More. You should watch both of them. Be aware that some actors appear in two or more of these movies and usually as different characters.
A prequel? Really? That’s news to me.
@@cameronblack3202 the weaponry from The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, as well as the story itself, place it during the American Civil War. The other two films, although filmed and released prior, are post Civil War. Blondie gets his trademarked poncho towards the end of Good/Bad/Ugly, which he wears in both of the other films.
@@kallreader7376 I don’t think I ever made those connections. Fascinating! 🤔
OH NO!! You just opened Pandora's Box! Dirty Harry is an excellent series! Way ahead of its time. Now, you gotta see the others. They just get better after this one. Trust us all, you won't regret it! Lol
Just a note-- air pollution was WAYYYYY worse in the 1970s than it is now. In U.S. cities, anyway.
The Man With No Name trilogy (in order) - A Fistfull of Dollars, For A Few Dollars More & The Good, The Bad & The Ugly (which you have seen & that's ok because that one was a prequel)
This was great! All 5 of the Dirty Harry movies are iconic. I would love to see you react to more of them. Great Job Blue.
“Go ahead. Make my day.”
Her gratification of seeing justice was 👍🏻 There are many Dirty Harry movies in the series “Magnum Force” would be a good one to watch.
1) This isn't a western, and is in fact the first film in a series about the character Dirty Harry.
25:01 Dayamn Trixy is savage 😅
If Clint had had a shower at the start of this movie it would be "Clean Harry".
More Clint movies to check out.
Pale Rider (1985) Western directed by Clint, similar to his spaghetti westerns.
Where Eagles Dare (1968) WWII action adventure, set in the German Alps. One of the few movies my mom saw at the cinema whilst growing up.
Kelly's Heroes (1970) WWII comedy, where they attempt to steal gold bars from behind enemy lines in France.
The Character of Judge Dredd was partly inspired by Dirty Harry, If you read some of the early stories, you can see how similar they are. Also Robocop was inspired by Judge Dredd, so you can see the connection between Robocop and Dirty Harry.
I get how they their way around the city. My father was a firefighter in a major city and when he said when he started in 1982 part of the training after being assigned at HQ was to memorize the city map and be able to work out the quickest route on command. He said it was the same for the newbies at police HQ next door and they would bet each other on who knew the city best. Police had the advantage of going out on patrols.
This movie started the genre of the urban western. The renegade cop that is more like the sheriff, dispensing justice ⚖ with a loaded gun 🔫 👌.
Yes "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" Is related to "A Fistfull of Dollars" and "For a Few Dollars More". Clint is the same character in all 3 of those Italian made "Spaghetti Westerns". Now you've seen Clint in one of his other big genres, the cop movie. He is also in war movies. If you want to see one of them, I would suggest either "Where Eagles Dare", or "Kelly's Heroes".
The American male grew up on westerns and movies like this The 44 mag in the movie went from $175 each to over $800 on the used market. Interest in handguns in America is 'high' to say the least, LOL we can pretty much all hit a man sized target at 100 yards with a handgun. Takes years to learn but not that hard. My girlfriend hits 2 liter sodas at 100 yards 2 or three times out of six. Let's just say that it has given her a 'level of confidence'
“Once Upon A Time In The West”
Is not only one of the best westerns of all time, it’s so beautifully shot, it’s like a scrolling piece of parchment it’s so elegant.
Tremendous actions
And the masterful
Ennio Morricone
You’ll love it
The old classic westerns are amazing
“She Wore A Yellow Ribbon” is another beautifully shot film.
I only realized now that Harry at many points in the film could have simply lied about the antagonist to convict him, but instead always told the truth. Even at the end he could have just lied about him going for his gun, but instead didn’t. Really upheld the ideals of a hero and became one.
I just love how harry throws he's badge into the lake after killing scorpio with good music
There is a whole series of Dirty Harry movies and they are all good, not cowboy but anti-hero movies. One great cowboy movie I think you will like is The Cowboys starring John Wayne.
They aren't anti-hero movies, if anything they are trying to be uber-hero movies. Harry Callahan is virtually a psychopath. He's desperate to be a hero, in a society which he feels it is lacking. It's a fragile white masculinity, later seen in Travis Bickle, which motivates him. No moral qualms at all.
Scorpio went on to a career as a main character in Star Trek Deep Space Nine.
REALLY GOOD , one of the best of the genre, Andy Robinson is so good as Scorpio , the sequels not so good but 3rd one The Enforcer with Tyne Daly as Harry's side kick is enjoyable.
It's nice to reflect once in a
While on how the film is enlivened by Lalo Schiiffrin's outstanding jazz score.
here is interesting film
- ~ ≈ • FIREFOX • ≈ ~ -
it's a 1982 American action techno-thriller film produced, directed by and starring Clint Eastwood. It is based upon the 1977 novel of the same name by Craig Thomas.
He didn't offer to sell him drugs, he offered to do him a "favor".
A favor only 10% or so of men want from another man.
The spaghetti Western trilogy is semi-connected. The three central characters are very similar. Each was made in the summer, on three consecutive years, when Eastwood was on hiatus from his TV show. Leone dropped very obscure, weird, little hints that the last movie, "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" was a prequel.
5:22 Talk about pollution was reference to the San Francisco oil spil on January 18, 1971 when two tanker ships collided and 800,000 gallons of oil spilled in result. It was the largest oil spill in the Bay and second one in California after Santa Barbara spill in 1969. There were 4 million gallons.
The Enforcer was the best Dirty Harry movie imo. Theyre all great.
Under American jurisprudence, evidence obtained illegally is in violation of our Fourth Amendment. The remedy the courts of sort it out, is to simply not allow it to be admitted into evidence. It is controversial, and at that time still being fleshed out in courts, but it is the law.
* Remedy of courts to sort it out
Pretty sure Alice wasn't selling Aspirin. I mean it starts with As but...well, but is a better description.
she can't be that naive.
There's another similar movie from this same era, Death Wish with Charles Bronson. There are also a number of sequels. Bronson plays a vigilante, he is not a cop.
p.s. there is a remake from the 2000s with Bruce Willis, that's not the one I am talking about.
First: Dimi running around at the beginning of the video was awesomely cute.
Second: This movie was a response to laws restricting the actions of police that people had deemed abusive, as well as the passing of Miranda Rights, and people growing cold on the use of the death penalty.
Third: That is not how evidence collection laws worked, even back then. That scene was written purely to infuriate audiences. However...
Fourth: Harry definitely broke the Scorpio Killer's civil rights when he shot an unarmed man and then tortured him for the location of his latest victim. This should be seen as unacceptable by everyone. I love the way the stuntman flips over in that scene, but police should not be allowed to do that, no matter the other circumstances.
I still mostly enjoy this movie, but some things in it just don't sit well with me anymore.
Firstly, Dimi running is always a great way to start a video :)
Secondly, I fully agree with your comments to the historical stuff to the movie!
I see your point, and I love the movie, but, I see the film as a product of the time, when it was made, the society as it was, cinematography etc so, for me it still sits well as a whole. You do make valid points :) and Good read!
We (the audience) got to watch the killer commit his crimes and we know he is guilty. But the characters within the movie have to work with partial information. The killer has rights and because they were violated (though the viewers by and large would agree that "he had it coming") the evidence had to be tossed out.
In the real world we usually don't get to see the criminals commit their crimes. It is possible that the person the police assume committed a crime is in fact innocent, so the legal system has rules to protect the rights of the accused. The theory is that everyone is innocent until they are PROVEN guilty, not innocent until an officer assumes they are guilty.
And there have been a lot of cases where someone was convicted and then years later the conviction was overturned. Some were due to a technicality, but some because there is good evidence that the accused was in fact innocent all along. Sometimes a cop or prosecutor lied. Sometimes the evidence that proves the person accused could not be the guilty person wasn't found, or the technology to confirm it wasn't them, such as DNA testing, wasn't available until later.
While as a viewer I hate seeing a sleazebag like the Scorpio killer in this movie "get away", I also wouldn't want us to throw out the rules that make it harder for an innocent person to be put away for crimes they did not commit. Unfortunately real life is not as clear as a movie.
@@robertmartin9029 I love very much the depth you explain this and if I recall rightly, this is sort of brought up in the sequels such as "Magnum Force" which as well as the rest, are watched too. There are indeed rules they have to follow and the law enforcement doesn't have the luxury of knowing the crime has been commited by said person as in the movies. This is why I LOVE the tv-films of "Columbo". The sequels do bring up issues as well.
The 'Spaghetti' Westerns as they are called (Spaghetti because Italians made these movies and they were shot in Southern Spain as is the only Desert in Europe). Under the incredible Direction of Sergio Leone.. lots of filming techniques he developed were copied later by other directors. The film are a trilogy but with unrelated story lines.. some actors play good guys in some and bad in others.. Clint Eastwood's character (the man with no name) is the only constant. You actually watched the third and last one... in order they are...A Fist Full of Dollars ..A Few Dollars More ... The Good the Bad and the Ugly.. and all are classics... sound track by legendary Italian composer Ennio Morricone... brilliant sound track especially The G / B and Ugly.
this girl knows how justice is to be dealt out . Always including today.
Excellent job TrixyBlue! " Hey! Aaahs gotsta know!" CLICK!
