Dirty Harry
Over the weekend, I had the privilege of watching the movie, Dirty Harry. Again. I would have to say it is a classic to say the least. I haven't seen any in that series in a while, and I suppose it had been at least one decade if not more, since I had seen the original. I heard that Clint Eastwood was asked recently if he was going to make another one in the series, but he replied, "Am I going to try to chase someone down in my wheelchair?" But then again, Sylvester Stallone is coming out with another Rambo tomorrow. But I digress. So I was wondering if there are any fans out there that would like to try a bit of Dirty Harry Trivia.
Here goes:
1. What does Harry Callahan say was the cause of his wife's death?
2. What is Dirty Harry's rank with the San Francisco Police?
3. Why is he called "Dirty Harry?"
4. What is the name of the maniac serial killer? (Either his name or what they call him.)
5. What is the name of Harry's partner in the beginning of the movie?
6. What type of weapon does Harry carry? (Let nobody think that I am suggesting anything with respect to hare-kari, the practice of Japanese samurai.) I would prefer the brand name as well as the caliber.
7. What is Harry eating when he walks out into the street to foil a bank robbery?
8. At one point, Harry shoots the killer in the leg at a football stadium. Approximately what is the yard-line where he is dropped?
9. What does Harry tell bad guys that his weapon is able to do?
10. At the end of the show, how many shots has Harry fired at the killer before he puts him away?

4 Comments:
1. car accident
2. inspector
3. because he (not unlike the old paratrooper) was not a fan of the shower? OK, it was because he was assigned the "dirty" cases
4. scorpio
5. Lewis, or was it Clark? No wait......Abbott, no wait....Costello?
6. Smith and Wesson .44, the most powerful handgun in the world (or so he says, I prefer the Walther PPK, you probably do too)
7. the lunch of all he-men.....a hot dog, albeit without the famous Eastern NC chili
8. 50 ?
9. Shoot through a car?
10. 2 ?
Greetings from NYC
The rest of you can turn in your papers for a passing grade, but I think that again the Duke has no competition here.
I didn't mean to discourage the others, so please take the time to respond. It must have been hard for the old paratrooper, growing up with such a smart brother.
There really is no competition for the Duke here.
1. Yes, a car accident involving a drunk driver.
2. Yes, inspector
3. Again, the Duke is correct. They were the cases no one else would take.
4. Scorpio
5. Chico Gonzalez
6. Yes, Smith and Wesson .44, however Clint Eastwood used a .41 cal for the acting. Don't worry Duke, your answer is correct.
7. Yes, a hot dog.
8. Yes, the 50. Don't put a ? after your answer, it shows a lack of confidence.
9. In one of the sequels Harry tells someone that he carries a .44 because he had seen some smaller calibers glance off windshields, (implying that his would penetrate.) The answer I was looking for was that its "able to blow your head clean off."
10. I count 5. He uses 4 up until he meets him at the water's edge, and then puts one in the shoulder. He gives him the "Do you feel lucky, punk?" speech, and then of course Scorpio does feel lucky, and tries unsuccessfully to get to his weapon.
