Did you ever notice that Dirty Harry always happens to walk into trouble..
Like he'll go out to get a cup of coffee and end up in a robbery or something. Or he'll be strolling along about to get his mail and then he'll see a bank robbery going on across the street. He's always just finding trouble. Granted, he's not as bad as Walker, Texas Ranger, but, damn, doesn't Dirty Harry ever have a normal day?

And another thing, why do punks randomly try to fuck with him? You just know they are going to get smoked up. He pulls out this big effing hand cannon and goes berserk. And, he just can't stop something in an orderly manner. He has to blow everything up. Instead of barging in and having a normal shootout, Dirty Harry will drive a car through the window of a shop and blow away five guys or something. Then he's always getting booted off of homicide, yet a day or two later they let him back in for some reason or another. His superiors hate him, haha. That's funny, how he's always getting suspended, but he doesn't even care. He just keeps blowing shit up.

2. Bill, you know that I love and respect you, so perhaps
you won't hold it against me that I'm bringing you this perhaps very sad information: The Dirty Harry films were not documentaries.

Here, I'll hold your hand while you sort through the emotional repercussions of this revelation. :hug:

14. The question you gotta ask yourself is -
Is crime cause by super-evil dragons?

"If crime were caused by super-evil dragons, there would be no Miranda, no Escobedo; we could all be licensed to kill, like Dirty Harry. But since crime is caused by deprivation, misery, psychopathology and social injustice, Dirty Harry is a deeply immoral movie." Pauline Kael

18. It's a classic!
Not too many shows like that ever aired...kind of Zucker Brothers humor, really, or like When Things were Rotten.

David Jansen was perfect for the role, too.

19. Yeah, and everybody around Jessica Fletcher seems to be death-prone...
...but nobody ever suspects her of murder.

21. Hey, Don't Criticize Blowing Stuff Up
If there's stuff blowing up in a movie, that will get me to watch it. To paraphrase Nelson Muntz: Ya gotta blow up somethin'!

25. I just saw the one where the plane is hijacked
He doesn't call anyone himself, just puts on a pilot uniform, TAXIS DOWN THE RUNWAY, kills the bad guys, and goes off to his next gig!

Now that's a lone gun, baby.
