Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Sudden Impact (1983) is the fourth film starring Clint Eastwood as Inspector "Dirty" Harry Callahan. It is notable as the only entry in the Dirty Harry series that he also directed. Preceded by The Enforcer, followed by The Dead Pool.After a number of high profile run-ins with various people trying to kill him, Callahan is sent to a small town to investigate the murder of a local man found dead in a car. More deaths occur, the perpetrator of which turns out to be one Jennifer Spencer (Sondra Locke), who is out to avenge a gang-rape that she and her sister were subjected to a decade earlier. | |

Batman Gambit | |
| Sudden Impact / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: Early in the film, Harry confronts Threlkiss, a mob boss he believes is responsible for a brutal murder he's investigating: a sex worker who knew too much. He shows Threlkiss a thick envelope and says the murder victim wrote down what she knew (later, we see that inside the envelope was nothing but a few sheets of blank paper), hoping to intimidate the mobster into a confession. The bluff causes Threlkiss to have a heart attack and die—right at the head table at his granddaughter's wedding, no less. The failure of the gambit sets Harry up for the main plot of the film and one of its secondary conflicts as well. | |

Art Reflects Personality: When Callahan sees Jennifer's bleak, haunting, almost chiaroscuro images, he sees a woman with demons in her soul. | |
