 Now I know what you're thinking. Did he shoot six shots or only five? Well, seeing as this is the Nerf Kronos, the most powerful Nerf gun ever made, it could blow your head clean off. You gotta ask yourself one question. Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya punk? Apparently Breit decided she wanted to be part of the video. I don't know why she didn't enjoy the movie when I watched it last night. Do you want to go down? You want to be put down? Okay, here you go. I'm back with another critical review of a movie that came out a while ago. This one a good while ago. Like the 70s. So, Dirty Harry. There's not a ton that I really can think to say about this movie outside of I love older action movies. I've always been a massive fan of like seeing everything that occurs within said action film. One of the reasons that I dislike a lot of action films that are coming out now and it's a personal problem that I have with them is that a lot of them use very choppy editing, shaky cam, darker sets and all that for their action scenes. Meaning you don't actually see what's going on. They're implying the action as opposed to showing the action. YouTube channel that I really like, Corridor Crew. They have a great video that was released five years ago now, maybe. I actually don't know when it was released. Anyway, it's basically talking about why modern action films suck. And it basically is going over the same points that I'm currently telling you. With the whole issue of they, it's choppier, more disjointed. It's basically what I'm saying right now. Anyway, Dirty Harry, it's phenomenal film. It's insanely good. I find it insanely entertaining every time I've watched it. As you can tell, I quoted like the most famous line from the film in the beginning or parodyed it because I don't have a 44 Magnum. Even if I did, I totally wouldn't have actually pointed it at my team. But I did have this, which is basically one of the most powerful nerve guns I've ever made. So anyway, if you don't know Dirty Harry, and wow, I probably should have explained this at the beginning. Anyway, Dirty Harry is an action movie starring Clint Eastwood. It's about a cop, Harry Callahan, which I realize is weird that three of my favorite series and franchises have a main character named Harry, Harry Potter, Harry Dresden, and now Dirty Harry. Yeah, I'm just going to talk about coincidence. I am rambling. Anyway, the basic plot of Dirty Harry is that Crazy Guy wants money, so he's killing people until he gets that money. Harry as a cop is tasked with finding out who this is and stopping him. Normally, I try to avoid spoilers in the critical reviews, but this movie's been out for nearly 50 years if I'm doing my math right. So, you know, I don't think it matters. Yeah, basically Crazy Gunman wants money and Harry's tasked with finding the guy. That's the basic plot, and that really is all there is to it. Harry ends up getting a new partner named Gonzalez, who they go through this stuff. Gonzalez ends up getting hurt by the bad guy. Harry basically says, hey, you should get out. Harry ends up tracking down bad guy, but he ends up, Gonzalez basically says, I think I'm going to quit. And Harry says, you should. And then he understands and is totally fine with that happening. He doesn't think that the life is for everyone, and he even doesn't know why he is still doing it. But at the end of the movie, after he gets the guy, which it's a 70s action movie, of course, Harry's going to get the guy, Harry leaves the force, which I gotta respect the filmmakers for doing. Most movies like this would have him just be like, aunt, fuck it, I'm going to stay. And no, he straight up kills the guy and then chooses to leave, which I thought was great. What do you want to kill? My cat's like right behind the camera, wanting to murder something outside. But yeah, Clint Eastwood's amazing in this. The guy that plays Gonzalez is great. The movie's just a lot of fun. I think my favorite part, though, is the villain of this film. Oh man, the bad guy is great. He's completely and utterly insane. Seriously, when Harry first actually meets the guy close up, he's basically like, just kicking the shit out of him, completely maniacal, and he's like, no, no, no, no, you're not allowed to pass out yet? He's like, oh no, if you defend yourself, I'll kill the girl. And then it's literally the next second he goes, by the way, I decided I'm going to kill her anyway. Just thought you should know before you die. I'm like, what the fuck? It is just, the dude is absolutely amazing. He's so much fun to watch. I think my favorite part is he gets stabbed in his responses. When he gets stabbed, it is the funniest fucking reaction to me. Oh my god. Another favorite part is when he gets confronted by Harry. Harry's like, tell me where the girl is. I have the right to allow her. Tell me where she is. I want a lawyer. I have the right to a lawyer. All right. Well, the bullet hole in your leg is looking bad. So I'm just going to step on it. It was really funny to me. It's a very fucked up Seattle police torture, but it's really, really funny to me personally. The way it happens, because he's like curate, raving like a maniac. When he gets like released from the hospital, he pays a guy $200 to beat the shit out of him, and then blames the San Francisco police department, specifically Harry, which goes to prove that his movie is made in the 70s, because Harry doesn't immediately get kicked off the force for this. Like, seriously, Harry is still on the force. He is straight up asked at the end of the movie if he wants to take the money to the crazy man. And he's like, the fuck? But he's still on the force. Why is he still on the force? He should have been kicked off as soon as the torture thing happened. I love this movie, though. It's so much fun. The dude then proceeds to buy a bottle of booze, to knock the owner out, to steal his gun, to hijack a bus, which Harry proceeds to then, you know, find and catch up to him, where he fires upon Harry with said gun, as he chased through a plant, through a, like, sawmill, or quarry? I think it's quarry. Harry ends up shooting him after he threatens to blow a child's brains out. All the while, he's acting like a complete nutter madman. Seriously? While he's on the bus, this is one of my personal favorite moments of the film. He starts singing. He has the kids sing, row, row, row your boat, because he's trying to, like, keep them happy. One of the kids starts freaking out, because he's like, that's not where this supposed to go, and he wants his mom. He walks up, smacks the kid, and starts eating, sing. Sing or I will kill all of you motherfuckers. Sing. Sing or I'll kill your mothers. I'm like, what the fuck? The bus driver at this point starts crying, because you shouldn't treat kids like that. That's almost how it's delivered in the film. So I'm like, I am poking fun at it, but that is how it's delivered. To which, like, his response, I don't care, just keep going. It's fucking phenomenal. I love every second of this film. Oh my God. This is one of those movies where your mindset going in is extremely important. The movie is, it's made in the 70s, so, like, I wasn't expecting the most, like, politically correct type of thing, especially for them, but, like, there is a scene that I find extremely problematic nowadays. I still enjoy it, because it's giving character depth to Harry. He gets the guy who's about to commit suicide to attack him while he's on the lift by basically being like, yeah, nah, if you thought it's real messy, could you just give me your name and address, please, like, so that we don't have to try and find your driver's license in that mess? And then, dude's like, fuck you! And, like, tries to get up and Harry just grabs and knocks him out, and then drags his ass into the crane with him so he holds on, so that the guy doesn't fall and splat anyway. It's great. Which, I don't think that's how you should handle a jumper, but what do I know? I'm not going to say it but stick to a police department in the 1970s. And then, the scene that I find extremely problematic is Harry's partner Gonzalez asks why he is called Dirty Harry, to which another cop responds by saying cause he hates everyone. And then proceeds to list off 10 to 15 racial slurs, including the N word with a hard R to explain it. Gonzalez responds with what about Mexicans and Harry responds with especially Yeah, definitely gonna have to loop that out. And no, just know if you're mad at me for saying that word. I honestly, I never grew up hearing it as a slur. I didn't know it was a slur for the longest time and only learned it was a slur after I started watching movies where characters are using it as a slur. So I literally never heard that word growing up, so it has zero relevance to me in my brain. Still don't like using it. I dislike using slurs in general, unless my friends are chill with it and then we insult each other all the time because we're weird. Obviously not a ton for me to say about this movie, other than if you like older action movies, I would say watch it. With that, I give this movie a, I'd say this movie rolls a solid 17, 70s, so it has a little more issues than I would personally like. I think some of the bigger ones are that there are multiple scenes in this film that are shot completely in darkness. There are flashes of light and you can kind of see what's happening, but in the 70s, they didn't have the technology that we have now with fairly light lights. Yes, that's awkward. Lighter weight lights to be able to shine and illuminate everything. So there are multiple scenes where it's like actual darkness that's really hard to make out what's going on on screen, which I think degrades the film a little bit, but overall I don't mind it a ton. It doesn't detract too much from the film in my opinion. Like I said, in movies 17, it's highly enjoyable and I enjoy going back to it every now and then. Especially just for a mindless action film, that is a lot of fun. Clint Eastwood I think is a great actor, the villain's fucking phenomenal and amazing to watch and probably the best part about the movie. And I just find it entertaining. That's all there really is to it. But yeah. Hey guys, I hope that you enjoyed that video. If you did enjoy it, please leave a like and comment down below.
