dirty harry remake

[GaryS]

The new dirty harry should be so public liaison officer that hates guns and wont carry one. He goes around talking nicely to criminals hoping to change their ways. Maybe he could hand out hard candy or lollypops...


Next we remake Star Wars and Jaws...

Maybe somethings shouldn't be remade.

Anyone wanna help me paint a new Mona Lisa?

Doesn't carry a gun, because he's "not in to" violence. Not only reads his prisoners their rights, he has Alan Dershowitz on speed dial. Drives a Prius "police package". After he had to go to "cultural sensitivity" training for saying he would vote Republican, came out as gay.

What a female version of dirty harry she could be harry's niece. I did some research and clint eastwood has a sister So i am willing to bet that he has a least one niece.

How about we never remake it and always remember Harry as Clint...

 

[brucev]

How about "the rock" as harry carrying a s&w .500? or maybe if a revolver is to old school for a new audience a .50 desert eagle?

who else would make a good harry? every other movie has been remade.

Can't see it. Maybe Harrison Ford, Bruce Willis, etc. But that's about it.

 

[Fishslayer]

We decided they shouldn't try to fix what ain't broke.

No Dirty Harry remakes.

Works for me.


As for Star Wars & Jaws... Southpark had an episode on that. Ummm... I suspect most around here would NOT dig it...

Hey why not Clint?He is still alive ain't he?

 

[Marshwheeling]

I think Josh Brolin might make a good Dirty Harry.
I'd put a model 29 in his hand and let him take a shot
at the role. But Pleeeease do NOT reprise the role and
end up arming the new Harry with a Glock or some other
ugly butt gun.

Chuck

What's a butt gun?

 

[jaykellogg]

Hey why not Clint?He is still alive ain't he?

He is 82. (Born May 31 1930) He is still a delight to see though.

 

[NYlakesider]

Most remakes are not worth the cost of the pint of gas and the match necessary to burn them up.

Leave well enough alone!

 

[dswancutt]

Like others have opined, why recreate what has already been done? I think this is one of the problems this country faces is the lack of original ideas.
Very sad if you ask me.

Slash

How about Slash from "GUNS AND ROSES" They could call the movie "DIRTY HAIRY"
I vote no remake.
Thanks
Mike

 

[wbraswell]

Or how about Axl and call it "Squirrely Hairy".

A new film could not be set in San Fran without completely emasculating the lead character.

That said, if the Hollywood recycling machine chose to remake the original classic, DH would be probably be carrying a Desert Eagle and wandering about as a retired LEO vigilante.

Josh Brolin as Dirty Harry. Keep the Model 29.

 

[Sailfish 40]

They should not remake it... but if they did

On a serious note: Bruce Willis or Mickey Rourke

On a lighter note: Billy Bob Thornton? It could be interesting

All the calls for people like Josh Brolin or Christian Bale? Serously? They are too young.

And no foreigners like Daniel Craig or the dude who did "transporter"

The rock is too much of a meathead, so no him or vim diesel, thats not what harry callahan was

I like the Billy Bob Thornton idea. Especially if he did it as the character Karl in Slingblade. "some folks call it a 44 magnum, ummhumm, i call it the most powerful handgun in the world."

 

[mjr]

Billy Bob Thornton? It could be interesting

Now that could be surreal. (As well as a box office disaster.)

If they do remake Dirty Harry, Harry will probably be played by an African American actor.

Let's hope not.

Harry would have to have a gold desert eagle, holding it sideways

No more remakes, they all suck!

Agreed, just as Clint is the only Dirty Harry John Wayne is the only Rooster Cogburn.Sorry Jeff Bridges.

 

[BigBill]

Funny i was just thinking about this today. For Clint Eastwood to make two more movies, one about Dirty Harry is called back into service for his skills with a killer/stalker on the loose in LA. Sorry 44mag only thats Dirt Harry right?And a second spaggetti western were the older no name gun fighter returns to set the record straight with the mexicans on the border lands. It seems the gun fighter wants his families gold back that the mexican outlaws stole from them. Come on Clint just one more time with the 45 long colts.

Movies that are stupid or just badly made might do well with a some rewriting, recasting, reshooting and reediting, i.e., a remake. However, great movies should be left alone so that they may stand alone as classics. It's not that Hollywood has run out of ideas, it's simply that Hollywood is lazy.
