Clint Eastwood ?Magnum Force: "Do you feel lucky, punk?"

This is from Dirty Harry.

The film has a major flaw -- this based on the number of shots fired and how many shots Clint Eastwood had left in his .44 magnum pistol.

The line "Do you fell lucky" was used twice, though the word "punk" was added to the final use.

If you have a six shot revolver, then if the gun is empty, then there would be six shots fired. If the gun only had one shot left, then five shots would have been fired.

Counting the shots on seeing the film again, one sees the flaw.

Clint Eastwood both times says "Did I fire six shots or only five shots? Well with all the action, I have lost track of the count myself..."

And then the line comes in.

Note that if he had two shots left in the jun, one would be visible to the person he would be about to shoot [or perhaps].

If the ratings are good, he might. He was pretty bad, imho. BAD, bad.

I heard that it was. She gets injured and Eastwood kills her. That sounds like euthanasia to me.

I thought Chris Rock was very funny. Anyone who can get Sean Penn so flustered he forgets to Bush bash for 10 seconds is alright in my book.

As a California guy I am dis-pleasured with your screen name after that wild and irresponsible shot.

Eastwood is no Republican. He can claim he is and you can keep saying he is---but that don't make it so.

I just wanted to thank you for starting a great thread. I don't watch the Oscars any more, haven't in years, and didn't tonight. However, I enjoyed this thread very much. :)

Well this IS one of the Holywood darlings pet projects. Euthanasia I mean. Along with abortion and a lot of other things.

"Streisand makes this about herself."

I can't believe she got freaky over who was going to read the envelope. What a witch. She just showed how true the rumors are about her being a control freak.

It was a juicy slow hanging curve ball I must admit. I took a swing after seeing to what you responded myself.

I'm glad I picked his movie as the "1" that I saw this year.

You saw one more than I did and I'm quite pleased I resisted temptation. Hollywood makes it so easy with the junk they put out!

I didn't watch and I don't care.
If Hollywood is so biased that it won't nominate "The Passion," then I'm not paying any attention to them.

Have you seen any of the movies you're talking about? They don't glorify Euthanasia or abortion.
