Frisco, Hollywood and Dirty Harry

Do you think they’d film a sequel these days? In San Francisco? If so, would Harry get to shoot punks?

Million to one says no, no and no.

Harry shot the wrong punks.

No. He'd have to wash their feet and kiss their ass...

The punks would slip and fall in the piles of sh...er... fecal matter.

He'd likely shoot a few politicians while while under deep cover, then retire to the South Pacific.Might even set foot instead a movie theater again, if it becomes a flick?

Eastwood is waaaaay too long in the tooth. Perhaps Hollywood would cast Leonardo DeCaprio as "Dirty Harry, Jr." A well mannered cop who is "woke" and empathizes with the social justice warriors in San Francisco. Instead of shooting them, he'd have a dialogue with them, suggesting they return the money they've stolen from elderly citizens, apologize to all those whom they beat up, and then work on community projects to improve relations with all whom they've harmed.

And everyone lives happily ever after.

SF was a schithole in those days too. remember the mayor or whatever wanted him fired. they were primed for pussification even then.

Having another Dirty Harry SFPD movie where he is still the same old Harry Callahan would be a real blockbuster.

People would line up to pay to see some non-PC justice.

Hollywood wouldn't allow any Academy awards for it though.

Have to be a black cop shooting whitey

I suspect you are right about that.

Nowadays the 21st century "Dirty Harry" would be more of a "Sanitary Harry". All "woke" and most likely gay. He would portray an eccentric billionaire who fights for social justice and does so voluntarily so as not to burden the defunded and budget strapped police who are nothing more than a terrorist arm of the KKK anyway. I bet a movie like that would bomb big time; but the idiots in Hollywood would probably make it anyway, lose millions on it and then blame someone else for its failure in the marketplace.

True, but there were a few warriors still around. One of my most glorious moments occurred at SFO as I left the plane that brought me home. 6 Dec ‘72 it was. Bit younger and had a 80# duffle bag on my shoulder. 3 Hare Krishna wonks tried to block my departure. I never broke stride and all of them wound up on their butts. May have smiled for a week after that.

[bleep], you described my work day.

Maybe it could be adjusted for the passing years? Harry could be a Klingon on the Entrrprise and when nobody is looking he beams all the idiots to wherever the Tribbles live?

Hard to say but I like to think if Clint Eastwood had much to do with it, say as director, I doubt he would pull very many punches. He sure didn't in Grand Torino.

I was just about to mention you Tracy.

He would have to hunt down and kill police after the murder poor little black criminals like Trayvon, Michael Brown and George Floyd. He would be so effective that that the police would refuse to arrest blacks.

Escape. I'll hook you up with a realtor.

Magnum Force

The only thing dirty about Harry these days is probably his depends.

Just for old time's sake

I would have a hard time watching someone beside Clint being Harry. That reminds me about 10 or 15 years ago I was flipping through the channels and Clint Eastwood was talking with Jan Leno. He said people come up to him all the time and ask him when he was going to do another Dirty Harry movie. He ask Jay, what am I suppose to do, run down the bad guy with a walker?

Clint's son, Scott, is a spittin' image of him.

Harry shot the wrong punks.

Not a chance!

In the original, Harry threw his badge into the bay at the end of the of the movie in protest. Today would see him indicted and convicted of violating some criminal's civil rights, and his conviction would be upheld by the 11th District court of Appeals while San Fran and Oakland burned night after night in "peaceful protests" over the wrongful death of the killer Scorpio.

Except for Clint being about 5" - 6" taller.

Damn !! I'm not worthy ! I'm not worthy ! I'm not worthy !

The closest hollyweird could get to the true spirit of Dirty Harry, these days would be with a buff Lexie, who talks tough but is only partially woke. She could get physical, but would regret her physical actions, so she often see her counselor/psychiatrist to work out her aggressive behaviors.

and Joe Biden and KalamamaDingDong are elected to the White House by Cheating, and then Joe stands down, so that the liberal left can have an unelectable minority woman becoming President of the USA, and give her keys to the White House...and the entire nation decides to turn communist.... and Dirty Harry retires.. because the whole nation becomes a Detroit and people are starving worse than in Venezuela.. and San Francisco is the model of the new world order... and we find out Nancy Pelosi was really a drag queen all along.. and the nation cheers her for being so....so the response is for America to go out and burns down all Churches... and the new Dirty Harry Jr gets to go out with his dad's 44 Magnum, and shoot all the Republicans and Conservatives that he wants to, regardless of having no reason at all to do so....

and the Liberal Elite Cheers!

no the "BAD GUYS" are now REBPUBLICANS and Conservatives...they give Clint Eastwood Jr an AR 15, with high capacity mags, and Clint Senior is given a Hover'round with a handle bar mounted M60 for getting rid of Republicans.. and Clint Senior identifies as gay and black.....the Liberal Left Elite Cheers... Michael Bloomberg blows Clint Senior on Television....regularly...

And of course give it numerous self-congratulatory phoney "awards".
