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?
