Do you feel lucky?

"I got's to know." I like to use this line when I get a chance.

A great film, love it when the perp sees Harry's Smith."My, that is a big one".

Well the popcorn, jujubees and drinks are a lot cheaper for sure.
That has to be one of the all time favorite movies. It can be watched more than once and still enjoy it.

Rudi , when Andy Robinson said that line , the film crew all cracked up laughing . They had to stop filming for a few minutes . Robinson hated guns , they had to send him off to a gun clinic for 3 wks to get comfortable to do his part . Just thought it was interesting little known facts . Regards, Paul

"When a naked man is chasing a woman through an alley with a butcher knife and a hard-on, I figure he isn't out collecting for the Red Cross."

I love the scene where Harry is taping an open switch blade to his leg, and his boss says, "It's disgusting that a police officer should know how to use a weapon like that."

Harry's Lieutenant comes across as a department politician who has never really been in the trenches with the scum. Meanwhile that knife saves Harry's life when Scorpio gets the drop on him.

I also love the way San Francisco itself is like an unlisted cast member.

Absolutely classic film. You're making me want to watch it again tonight.

I can watch it any time I like. I have the boxed set complete with the replica inspector's badge.

I recently got a 4 disc set of the first 4 Dirty Harry Movies. Best by far is the original.

What I appreciate is how as bad *** as Harry is, they still show him as fallible when he gets roughed up by Scorpio and even the neighborhood crew who think he is a peeping Tom. As the series continued they made him more superhuman and less believable.

One I always noticed going back to when I first was seeing the movie. In the diner/bank robbery scene the camera pans around and you see a movie theater playing the movie Play Misty For Me.

Details like that are great things to watch for.

I just watched Sudden Impact the other night as I have it on VHS. Now I feel old. But I still like that movie.

There is a follow up to Dirty Harry.....

It's called 'Magnum Force'. 'Dirty Harry' the original and best but it seems 'Magnum Force' was a pretty good one to watch. There are some other ones too, of varying quality.

PS: I looked 'em up. They are:

The Enforcer

Sudden Impact

The Dead Pool


I know that 'Sudden Impact' has the 'Go ahead, make my day." catchphrase.

'The Enforcer' has Tyne Daly in a good performance.
