Dirty Harry	comment	A series of five films starring Clint Eastwood as San Francisco Police Department inspector "Dirty" Harry Callahan. He is one of the earliest examples of the Cowboy Cop. His main weapon is the Smith & Wesson Model 29 .44 magnum revolver.The eponymous first film, directed by Don Siegel and released in 1971, is credited with inspiring the tone and themes of many modern-day cop films and TV series. Eastwood portrays Callahan as an Anti-Hero — a blunt, cynical, "the buck stops here" kind of law enforcer who's constantly at odds with his indifferent, incompetent, strictly-by-the-book superiors, and whose relentless pursuit of justice frequently leads him to kick, stomp on, and blast gaping holes through constitutionally protected rights. These traits led many critics to accuse the film of carrying a fascistic, or at least authoritarian, undertone (anticipating complaints leveled against such later works as the thematically similar Judge Dredd comic and movie franchise). In response to the controversy surrounding the first film, the sequels tried to balance out the ideology, having Harry's bad guys span the length of the political morality spectrum.

Dirty Harry / int_10134c97	type	Artistic License â€“ Gun Safety
Dirty Harry / int_10134c97	comment	Artistic License â€“ Gun Safety: The famous "Do I feel lucky?" scene, specifically after the suspect has surrendered and asks if Harry's gun indeed had 0 shots left. Pointing a weapon for fun at someone is a huge violation of gun handling protocol as one must always presume the weapon is loaded. Harry sure got lucky that his superiors didn't read him the riot act or severely discipline him for playing games with a hand cannon.

Dirty Harry / int_132d93f1	comment	Human Shield: Scorpio uses a boy as a human shield. Detective Callahan simply shoots him in the shoulder (given the range and the fact that the boy was too small to provide a lot of protection, Callahan could've put a bullet in Scorpio's chest or his head). Callahan then proceeds to give Scorpio one last chance to surrender, and then puts a bullet through him.

The bank robber Harry confronts at the start pretends to surrender, but the reason he doesn't follow through with it is because he was curious to know if Harry's gun really did have one bullet left. Much to his bemusement, it didn't. A rare heroic example happens right before the ending. Harry pretends to be slowly lowering his .44 Magnum to spare a hostage being used as a human shield, but then quickly raises his revolver and lands a crack shot, incapacitating the hostage taker.

Dirty Harry / int_25afd4a3	comment	Good Guns, Bad Guns: Harry carries a S&W Model 29 in .44 Magnum, then the most powerful handgun in the world. While more powerful guns are typically "bad", this started a trend of Hand Cannons ending up in the hands of Anti Heroes and Cowboy Cops just like Harry. Harry's partner, Chico, carries a classically "good" Colt Detective Special, a standard issue police revolver of that era. It helps to establish him as a By-the-Book Cop in comparison to Harry (though he later goes against orders to aid Harry, getting shot in the process). Conversely, Big Bad serial killer "Scorpio" uses a modified Arisaka rifle (a Japanese WWII weapon often brought home as souvenirs), a Nazi MP40, and in the climax, a stolen Walther P38, yet another Nazi weapon.

Dirty Harry / int_2a195285	comment	Revolvers Are Just Better: Dirty Harry famously uses a gigantic Smith & Wesson Model 29, which chambers .44 magnum bullets. The gun is extremely powerful, and the long barrel plus adjustable sights make it basically a pocket-rifle. Around the time the movie was filmed, some police actually did carry such large revolvers, but they eventually proved excessively powerful.

Dirty Harry / int_3322dd48	type	Hollywood Law
Dirty Harry / int_3322dd48	comment	Hollywood Law: An interesting aversion: When Harry notes that he was justified in shooting a man he was sure had intent to rape, and his superior reacts skeptically, Harry replies, "When a naked man is chasing a woman through an alley with a butcher knife and a hard-on, I figure he isn't out collecting for The Red Cross." This would be considered a legally justified shooting, under "Plain Sight", which says that if a cop sees a crime in the process of being committed right in front of him, he's allowed to engage the perpetrator, without a warrant. Said rule also is applicable to Harry's takedown of the bank robbery crew, which is why he's cleared of that so quickly. The mayor even notes that Harry's got a point. Played painfully straight when it came to Scorpio getting released from prison. Basically the only thing that would be ruled inadmissible in real life would be his confession, due to the fact that he hadn't been read his rights and had been coerced by torture into giving it. Harry should have been able to charge him with assault, attempted murder and kidnapping of a police officer. Everything else was perfectly admissible. His partner could also have laid charges as a witness; he was close by and saw the whole thing, and Scorpio shot at him, too. The very fact that Scorpio has a fresh knife wound exactly like the one Harry (legally) gave the guy in the balaclava and the same voice would be enough for a conviction. Semi-justified with the rifle, a sporterised Japanese Arisaka (rechambered in Springfield .30-'06), which, as a war prize, could easily have no paperwork at all. In Scorpio's case, while exigent circumstances would certainly apply (someone's life was in imminent danger), his residency is Kezar Stadium, and it is under the consent of the groundskeeper. The trouble with this is the groundskeeper, most likely, does not have the legal standing to grant such permission, which therefore makes Scorpio a squatter and thus his rights are not protected. However, courts have held that even homeless people squatting in public parks have the constitutional right against unreasonable searches and seizures-the key is whether it can be considered their "house", even if they're squatting there, so that part is unclear. Scorpio is in possession of an MP40 submachine gun, presumably not registered under the National Firearms Act of 1934 (since he's not shown with it again after his arrest, it can be assumed it was confiscated along with the rifle). Possession of an unregistered full-auto firearm is punishable by up to twenty years in federal prison, meaning they could have at least charged him for that, even if the murder, kidnapping, assault and attempted murder charges wouldn't stick.

Dirty Harry / int_479d4e5a	type	Would Hurt a Child
Dirty Harry / int_479d4e5a	comment	Would Hurt a Child: Scorpio is perfectly happy to slaughter children if it suits him. He shoots a young African American boy, sniper style, to death. Later, he kidnaps, brutally rapes and buries alive a young teen-aged girl. In the later case, he demands a huge ransom for her safe return. But when he gets his money, just for the fun of it, he refuses to reveal her whereabouts until Callahan tortures him during questioning. (Even after that, the girl is found dead inside her grave.) He hijacks a school bus full of children. Scorpio delights in slapping both boys and girls around, and forcing them to sing the children's song "Row, Row, Row Your Boat," and even threatens to shoot several of the kids. In the climatic scene (after Scorpio crashes the bus into a dirt embankment), Scorpio â€“ after engaging in a gun battle with Callahan â€“ grabs a boy who was sitting on a nearby pier and threatens to use him as a human shield if Callahan dares take a step closer.

Dirty Harry / int_722171e7	comment	Straw Character: One of the most common criticisms of the first film's politics is that it uses an almost cartoonishly evil and one-dimensional villain (and, similarly, a preposterously weak-willed and ineffectual local government and police force) in order to make Harry's rather extreme methods seem reasonable and even necessary by contrast. Roger Ebert observed this in his original review: The Judge brought in to analyze Harry's actions teaches at the University of California, Berkeley, the surest way in that era of painting someone as an over-permissive liberal. Pauline Kael, a former native of San Francisco, noted in her review how unlikely this would be in real-life and suspected the filmmakers included this specifically to tweak conservative viewers.

Originally, he fires five shots in single action, cocks the hammer to confront the surviving bank robber, lowers the hammer when the robber backs down, then cocks the hammer (rotating the cylinder to a previously fired chamber) and pulls the trigger - clicking the hammer on a spent case - when the robber says "I gots to know". By adding another shot (meaning that the gun is actually empty), the confrontation turns from a dangerous amount of trolling into a bluff from the get-go.
