Revision as of 17:26, 26 December 2014
- Beam Me Up, Scotty: The line is "Do I feel lucky?", not "Do you feel lucky?".
- Nor is it "Do ya feel lucky, punk?" (although that is what Eastwood said in the second film).
- Hey, It's That Guy!:
- For Star Trek: Deep Space Nine fans, Andrew "Garak" Robinson plays Scorpio Killer in the first movie.
- Also, Dean Wormer is apparently the Mayor of San Francisco.
- And Otter gets killed in Magnum Force.
- Along with Hutch and Spenser For Hire.
- Jim Carrey is the victim whose death Harry investigates in The Dead Pool.
- Harry's partner Chico in the first movie is "Poppy" the pizza chef who doesn't wash his hands on Seinfeld.
- The most ironic of them all: Sudden Impact 's Ray Parkins becoming a judge.
- Before she paired up with Cagney, Lacey got her training under Dirty Harry.
- The Red Stapler: Sales of Harry's iconic Smith & Wesson Model 29 shot through the roof after the movie's release.
- Specifically, Smith & Wesson stopped producing the Model 29 several years before the film's production. Clint Eastwood himself contacted S&W representative Bob Sauer, who had several assembled from parts at the factory. Smith & Wesson reintroduced the Model 29 shortly after the film's release.
- Retroactive Recognition: Camryn Manheim is the girl behind Harry in the elevator when he threatens that punk in Sudden Impact.
- Throw It In: Andy Robinson improvised several of Scorpio's lines, including the "hubba hubba" bit over the telephone and "my, that's a big one" when Harry pulls his gun in the park. The flip that Scorpio does when he is shot by Harry in the stadium was also Robinson's idea.
- What Could Have Been: John Wayne lobbied hard for the role of Harry but the studio felt he was too old for the part.
- Frank Sinatra was intended to play Harry, but he had a broken wrist at the time.
- The screenplay for the first film went through numerous iterations and had several potential endings, including one in which Scorpio gets dispatched by a Marine sniper rather than Harry himself. Eastwood felt that the later drafts were overcomplicating the core premise and opted for one of the earliest screenplays written instead.
- Working Title: The title of the first film's script was Dead Right.
