A Southern Sheriff Goes to New York City (Clint Eastwood) | Coogan's Bluff

[@shankarbalan3813]

Laconic as Hell. Classic Clint Eastwood. What a fabulous actor. Thank fully Scott, his son, looks very much like Clint.

[@TheQuirkyCharacter]

I dig SO MUCH the dynamics between Clint and Lee J. Cobb, two legends in their own right!

[@Antonio-fw1bs]

These actors are ROYALTY! Such splendid acting and iconic roles.

[@FireInvest5280]

He's not a "southern" deputy sheriff, he's from Arizona...that would make him a Western lawman in the East.

[@BillMalchisky]

Southwestern specifically, but your point is well taken.

[@mrschuyler]

New Yorkers rarely make the distinction.

Arizona was a closet confederate state,

[@frankdenardo8684]

The movie Coogan's Bluff would later be the 1970s TV show McCloud with Dennis Weaver playing a Marshal from Taos, New Mexico. I remember watching McCloud, and they often think that he is from Arizona, Oklahoma, or Texas.

I get this crap in San Francisco but more devious. From 15th and Dolores to the V.A. hospital is plain West. These guys drive over to Van Ness to make a left on Fulton to go all the way out. Another 6 bucks. Drives me nuts every 4 months.

[@nghtwtchmn129]

A scene in The Six Million Dollar Man went something like this: Cab driver: "First time in [name of city]?" Austin: "Yes, but I wasn't born yesterday either."

[@nghtwtchmn129]

Washington, D.C. is divided into taxi "zones." Instead of paying by the meter, you pay a fixed amount to ride within a zone, and fixed amounts to ride from say, zone one to zone three.. Gives the driver an incentive to take the fastest route.

That was the old chinook shuttle service from the airport to midtown Manhattan. They re-introduced it temporarily in the late 1970s but withdrew the service permanetly when one crashed. No way they'd run it over the city these days anyway, especially after the 9 / 11 disaster,

There are heliports all over NYC, just not on rooftops. The reasons have nothing to do with 9/11.

Outstanding movie. This and McQ are two of my favorites.

[@helbent4]

The opening scene was a nice bit of vanished NYC history. When there used to be a heli-taxi from JFK to various buildings, including the Pan-Am building. It was halted in 1968 due to low volume, then restarted in 1977 for a few months before a serious accident finished the concept for good.

0:03 Wide shot of Midtown Manhattan. To the left, Empire State Bldg. to the right of that, with the white spirals, the Chrysler Bldg. Just to the right of that, the PanAm Bldg. with the NY Airways heliport on top. Then just before the chopper lands, you see the Chrysler bldg's spire go by really close, next thing you are on the top of the PanAm bldg. Sadly, the Big Apple was already pretty awful back in late 1967, when Eastwood filmed this flick there. Just imagine how awaful it is now in 2025. BTW, in the 70s you could fly on the chopper one-way for $7.50 or $8.00.
