Noticed something over the weekend. In Joe Kidd, Eastwood appears to comfortably shoot a rifle left handed [b][color:#3333FF]in this scene.[/color][/b] ![[Linked Image]](http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/b531/muzzle-blast/joekidd_zps7f59e11c.jpg) But in his Gran Torino "Get off my Lawn" scene, he appears equally adept right handed... Any way to know if the film has been flipped..? Yes, I'm bored.... ![[Linked Image]](http://undergroundcarpenter.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/lawn.jpg)

Clint Eastwood is an equal opportunity, ambidextrously gifted, certified, rectified a$$-whipper.

And he shoots a short gun, right handed.

Clint shoots the Spencer left-handed in "Unforgiven", too. But in the bar scene at the end, he shoots the shotgun righty.
I think the side he shoots from is driven by the camera/shot setup.
That's a straight-pull Ross takedown in "Joe Kidd", btw.

Probably a natural lefty but trained/corrected to use his right hand instead of his left while growing up, thus leaving him ambidextrous.

In the movies old Clint never misses with either hand and his targets couldn�t hit a barn if they stood inside of it.

Left handed. The end of Dirty Harry when he throws his inspector badge with his left hand. He usually shoots with his right hand but is left handed.

Maybe he is [bleep] up like me and does some things right handed, and some left.
