Dirty Harry

[PaulHogan]

3 things:

It's just starting on ITV4 now

It's brilliant

It's 39 years old. Jeez where did that time go?

'I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk? '

One of the all time greats (hence why I have Harry as my profile pic )

Superb film. Very dark and gritty compared with a lot of modern cop films.

"If I see a naked man chasing a girl down an alley with a knife and a hard on, I shoot the bd."


Brilliant.

Brilliant music, just awesome. I love that shot at the beginning where the camera follows Harry from the roof top pool.

Brilliant.

Sorry for the pedantry, but that's a misquote.

'Twas close though

IIRC the other (first) bit is along the lines of "When I see a man chasing a woman with intent to commit rape, I shoot the bd, that's my policy."

"Yeah, well, when an adult male is chasing a female with intent to commit rape, I shoot the bd; that's my policy."

Even closer.

Lalo Schifrin. To me, it's part of the soundtrack of the '70's. I just love it. Schifrin's work, that is. And the film's not bad either.

awesome soundtrack !!

The casting for the psycho/weirdo killer is superb, he really is quite freaky, especially when he gets the knife in the leg, the scream he lets out is horrific
