The actor (Andrew Robinson) who portrayed the Scorpio Killer later lamented that his taken on this role early in his career ultimately ruined his acting career. He played the character so well that he was instantly type-casted as a creepy killer. It became nearly impossible to land other roles. If you're a gun enthusiast, Dirty Harry's firearm (Smith & Wesson Model 29 - 44 Magnum) became an iconic weapon for decades.

As a result of this role, he ended up getting many death threats over the phone and finally had to get a private ("unlisted") number! That is testament to his acting ability, sadly....

The same actor who played the mayor in this movie also played the mayor in the first episode of the Dirty Harry spoof Sledge Hammer! (1986). This is, no kidding here, the funniest TV show I have ever seen, which is why I'm mentioning it now. The main character's name is literally Sledge Hammer, and he is very, very, very tough on criminals, and even tougher on the police chief's nerves. He's also strangely charming in a bumbling way, and talks to his gun when no one is looking. In fact, he showers with his gun, makes pancakes with it, and solves a wide variety of life's daily problems with well-placed shots. 😆 The show is actually mostly lighthearted comedy with the constant threat of extreme violence but not much actual violence, most of the time.

Scorpio was based in part on the Zodiac Killer, who was still fresh in California's memory when the movie was made. His alias is a Zodiac sign, he writes letters similar to the Zodiac's and he hijacks a school bus, kind of like what the Zodiac threatened to do.

Andie Robinson, who played Scorpio, was a peacenick and had trouble handling the gun he was supposed to use so production was shut down while a firearms expert was brought in to train him in the use of firearms.

Addie starts a deep dive into "Dirty Harry". Another good Eastwood movie is "The Eiger Sanction" 1975. And for a very different side of Clint, "Paint Your Wagon" 1969. A couple of years after this movie, gunmen stormed a school bus in Chowchilla and kidnapped 26 children and their driver and buried them in a moving van while demanding ransom.

For years and years, when fans would list their dream cast for an X-Men movie, Clint Eastwood was the name that would pop up for Wolverine, even though Clint was too old for most of that time.

Worth noting: The most commonly listed name for Professor X (at least after Star Trek: The Next Generation started airing) was Patrick Stewart.

I might have seen it before that but cannot be sure. But I definitely remember watching movies on the big old Betamax video player that was the size of a large suite case. Early 80's technology was pretty dope. I was the remote control for the video player. The television and the stereo. I remember dad laughing and cheering on Harry as he violated everybody's civil rights and handed out vigilante justice. I loved every minute of it. Except for one thing. That scene in the park under the cross when Harry stabs that killer in the leg and he screams in pain. That scream. That face. Freaked me out. I'm 49 now, and I still get goosebumps watching that scene. But I still love that movie.

My older brother was named after Clint Eastwood because my father loved this movie so much. I also loved this movie when I was younger, but the older I get the more it has soured on me. This movie was an overreacting response against the recently introduced Miranda rights, is pro police brutality, illegal search and seizure, and Harry has no compunction when shooting an unarmed man running away from him, or at a car driving through a city street with innocent bystanders on busy sidewalks in the background. However, despite all of that, I still love watching Harry shoot Scorpio across the stadium, seeing Scorpio flip over from the impact. It scratches that inner simpleton itch that I will carry with me until the day I die.

[@danareynolds1786]

The early-on "I gots ta know" criminal is the actor Albert Popwell. He's in all but 1, I think, of the Dirty Harry movies in various different roles. When Harry gives him the ".44 Magnum" speech, he's almost laughing, but when he gives it to Scorpio at the end, he's very angry and pissed off. When Harry threw his shield in the water, it was suppose to be him leaving the job, and there was no intention of any sequels. Things changed...

In which he leads a group of American soldiers on a mission to steal nazi gold from behind enemy lines. And the late, great Donald Sutherland steals the show as a hippie tank sergeant ;) + his 2 hilarious comedies Every Which Way But Loose (1978) & Any Which Way You Can (1980) In those, he plays a mechanic moonlighting as a bare knuckle boxer, who has a pet orangutan named Clyde and they get into all sorts of scrapes, making friends and enemies as they go.

You can now, perhaps back then the exigent exception was not the law yet. This was a time when the rights of the criminal seemed more important to politicians then being concerned about the victims and their families rights. That's what resonated so much with the Dirty Harry franchise, he didn't give a shit about the criminal or what happened to the criminal, and that was a refreshing take at the time.

[@JeffreySherk]

This movie triggered another memory, and I just looked it up to confirm the details. On October 22, 1969, someone claiming to be the Zodiac killer called lawyer Melvin Belli on a morning talk show. I was in the fifth grade then, and the teacher wheeled a TV set on a stand into the classroom so she could watch the interview. When I told my parents, they were appalled.

[@bartlebyscrivener2980]

Zodiac is a great David Fincher (Seven, Fight Club) movie. After seeing Dirty Harry Addie should see this great true crime movie that was the inspiration for "Scorpio" in Dirty Harry. The Zodiac murders remain unsolved, and most of the principal suspects are dead.

[@jimperry6463]

You have now seen Dirty Harry and The Naked Gun. Now you’re ready to tear off the Band-Aid with a blowtorch and watch Sledge Hammer.

[@fr1day2]

Watching Harry bring down the potential jumper reminded me of Lethal Weapon. Another cop movie to add to your list.

"There was a million reasons they called him Dirty Harry, and he kept inventing new ones" - Quote from the original trailer

[@uncaringgenius]

All the Dirty Harry movies are great and worth a watch

[@spidersj12]

The actor who played Scorpio, played Garrick on Star Trek Deep Space 9.

[@internetsideshow]

Plain, simple Garak

[@rocingersol1875]

Andrew Robinson did an amazing job on his portrayal of Scorpio. I didn't know until the late 90s that the guy playing Garak in DS9 was the same actor.

[@earlchatterton9133]

Garrick was always such a highlight of DS9. A bad guy who sympathetic and three dimensional.

[@waterbeauty85]

One of my favorite Garak lines was when Quark was explaining that he should have gone into selling weapons like his cousin advised him to, but he opened a bar instead because he enjoys chatting with the customers like he was with Garak, and Garak says "I can see the appeal...for you"

[@cyclone8974]

I am pretty sure this movie was inspired by the Zodiac Killer.

[@cervanntes]

Without question, and “inspired by” is exactly the right way to phrase it. The movie isn’t a dramatization of the Zodiac killings nor does it pretend to be, but it definitely borrows heavily from the real life headlines surrounding the cat and mouse between the Zodiac and the SFD, especially Detective David Toschi.

[@AbeVicious]

And Dave Toschi. The inspector who was investigating the Zodiac killings.

[@cyclone8974]

@@cervanntes I think it's also a bit of wish fulfillment for the Cops and a lot of the people that hoped the Zodiac would be caught.

[@cervanntes]

@@cyclone8974 Heh, yeah. Especially after those two cops stopped and talked to him after the taxi shooting but let him go because the APB for the shooter described him as black. The police had a lot to be embarrassed about dealing with the Zodiac, doubly so after Toschi was accused of forging one of the Zodiac letters. Even though he was exonerated on that one, it still left a lasting stink and I can't help but think Scorpio framing Harry was inspired by that scandal. And absolutely, the public needed a fictional version where the bad guy was taken out because real version was very much still out there as far as anyone knew.

[@UncleCharlie111x2]

He was 41 when this was released in 1971. Excellent Addie love seeing this Eastwood movies reacted too! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@cowboy1165]

Harry's handgun is not the standard police revolver. He carried a -Smith and Wesson Model 29/ .44 Magnum. The Model 29 had enjoyed some popularity with target shooters, cops and hunters until the debut of Dirty Harry in 1971, at which point every Tom, Dick and Harry wanted one. Firearm dealers had difficulty keeping the big-bore revolver in stock until S&W caught up with demand in the early ‘70s. Even so, gun shop owners could always count on a shortage of Model 29 revolvers whenever a Dirty Harry movie marathon ran on TV.

[@rockerfella8122]

Loved Clint in Every Which Way But Loose and Bronco Billy as a kid. Love to see someone react to them.

[@dparch]

also Any Which Way You Can, all show Clint's comedic side

[@michaelmonthey5974]

The spaghetti westerns (A Fistful of Dollars, For A Few Dollars More and The Good, The Bad and the Ugly) are must watches. Those are the movies that made young Clint Eastwood a movie star.

[@sbk4me]

Hi Addie! Great watch! we understand the crush. Wait till you go back another 20 and watch the westerns! can't wait... Thanks

[@larryjex6485]

I love these '70s cop dramas! They have a gritty realism that isn't over the top.

[@angelomaurizio1668]

You shouldve watched 'The Good Bad and The Ugly' (1966) before 'Unforgiven' it features a younger Eastwood. The spaghetti western is arguably one of the best films in cinema history that ranks up with movies like The Godfather and Shawshank Redemption. The movie features iconic scenes and score.

[@GeorgeTropicana]

Josey Wales is better

[@markdenio4537]

The score is so iconic the Danish National Orchestra performed two parts in a multiple-million-viewed video.

[@PiraticalBob]

+1 on *The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.* It's an early 60's film so Clint is youthful and very handsome. It was the third of the "Spaghetti Westerns" that he filmed with Italian director Sergio Leone, and probably the best of the three.

[@angelomaurizio1668]

@@GeorgeTropicana Naaaa 😆

[@dparch]

@@GeorgeTropicana absolutely! better in every way

[@zedwpd]

The Major here was also the Dean in Animal House.

[@taylortyler1867]

"The Enforcer" & "Magnum Force" are 2 other movies w/the character Dirty Harry. I'm not sure, but I think "The Dead Pool" is a Dirty Harry movie too. Either way, it has Clint Eastwood in it as a detective, even if his character isn't named Dirty Harry. All 3 are excellent movies. "The Outlaw Josey Wales" is another Clint Eastwood movie that is excellent, but It's a western. I'm not usually a fan of westerns, but this one is an exception. _VERY_ good movie. Btw, you are adorable. 🤗 It's so cute the way you jump at every loud noise.

[@PhilipGarcia-b4f]

Finally, people are Noticing that Jackman looks like Eastwood; I said that ever since the first X men movie, if this Wolverine thing doesn't work out, There's your next Dirty Harry !😎❤😎

[@GrimmEnt.]

Scorpio's actor was so convincing that he started receiving death threats after this movie.

[@gilbertmelendez6428]

Hi cutie 😊❤. I'm so glad you are new to this in one of the best crime action films of all time before Die hard, before Lethal weapon and during the spaghetti western Eastwood man with no name films as he's off the saddle and play this iconic tough street slick San Francisco city cop Dirty Harry who just gets the job done against officials and against a ruthless snipper who just won't quit to stop. But being this is a 44 magnum the most biggest and powerful handgun in the world and it could just have blown their heads clean off. And they're not lucky at all 😮 well do ya punk 😡💥. Enjoy and survive watching Dirty Harry my lovely dear Addie. Thanks for this opportunity for posting this. I'll call this evening to remember to get the job done 👍. "Now I'll just wait until the carvery arrives" 🚨.

[@Ryan-uj8kk]

so glad you watched Dirty Harry, hope you watch the entire 5 parts for Dirty Harry. If yes then your next watch from the series will be Magnum Force. Do you feel Lucky Addie? Well do ya? i highly recommend you watch "million dollar baby" which Clint acted in and directed as well. a truly EPIC movie, you shouldnt miss it.

[@3dbadboy1]

By the way, the composer of this film's soundtrack, Lalo Schifrin, wrote the theme to the 60s TV series Mission: Impossible, which theme is used in the Tom Cruise series of movies of the same name.

[@ryanelogan5540]

You have great taste in movies, Addie!! You have just reacted to an all-time CLASSIC crime film!!!

[@3dbadboy1]

That's soooooo funny that you said Clint looks like Hugh Jackman because there's a scene in the movie Australia where Jackman is dressed up in such a way that he totally made me think of Clint Eastwood from one of his spaghetti western movies.

[@baronvg]

19:05 That was a very satisfying eye roll.
