@@susand.3540 I haven’t got round to them yet but have seen them on the feeds online . What one should I start with ? Seems a silly question but I’d like to start with the best one out of the five to get me into it if you know what I mean
I was at a fashion event and when I left the venue i saw this huge effigy in front of a movie theater across the road. It was Clint advertising for a Fist Full of Dollars and I've been in love ever since.
I can't describe how much I love these movies. You get the great Clint Eastwood in every film, you get great mysteries, you get the beautiful S&W 29, you get some beautiful women, it's just a great series.
Wow, it's hard for me to believe it has been 49 years since I saw Harry drop the hammer on that S&W Model 29, 44 Magnum! I was 17 years old and knew I had to have one of those guns. Due to the extreme shortage on that gun I did not acquire one until 1974. A blue Model 29-2 with a 6.5 inch barrel and rosewood grips. It was the first gun I ever owned and I took up reloading. Since that spring day back in 74, I've shot the gun thousands of times and to this day it still turns heads at the range and always makes my day!
My first was a 6 inch Model 27, that I bought in 1977. Beautiful gun, and I can still shoot nice groups with it. I didn't get a 29 until 1988 ( a 6 inch 29-3). Perfect for those days when you really want the range all to yourself.
Happy Birthday 🎂 Clint. You NEVER let us down with your movies, and we actually learned some life lessons along the way ( A Good Man Always Knows His Limitations). Thank you for being You, and being with us in this lifetime.
Clint must have like Albert Popwell, he showed up in four of the Dirty Harry films as different characters in each one. I've noticed that two or three other actors were given roles in multiple Eastwood movies. I think it's great that he showed that kind of loyalty to the people who helped make him successful.
Thank you for including the great Albert Popwell! I really enjoyed seeing that little tribute to him. I thought he was fantastic in all those roles with Clint. God bless him!
I like the gunshot sounds if the spaghetii westerns ,,those echoing sounds of revolvers and rifles ! sorry if I am the only one who like spaghetti western's echoing gunshots !
@@hc8696 I know it makes me want to go out and shoot my Smith&Wesson model 629-3 with its 8 3/8 in. barrel and S&W pachmar grips but the ammo is toooooo dang expensive these days and I can't replace what I shoot for the same price ever again for sure !!!!
Thank you Mr. Eastwood for the dedication to your craft and the decades of relevant and repeatability enjoyable characters and productions. A true icon.
Because of Dirty Harry, the first pistol I ever bought was a .44 Magnum, in 1978. I ran into Clint Eastwood at a charity golf tournament several years later and he autographed the box for me. Laughed is ass off saying, “we’ll, this is a first”.
Smith & Wesson Model 29 44 magnum was a back up gun for hunters, just in case they ran into a bear in the wilderness- not a popular gun, kinda big, loud and had a recoil....that was until 1971 when Clint used it as Harry Callahan's police sidearm - then everyone one and their mother wanted that exact model.
In Sudden Impact, the Automag alone fires 28 shots, three full magazines, eight shots per magazine and half of a fourth. Two magazines were fired when he practiced with it and one magazine at two of the three rapists and the last got four at the end
There are cops who can go through their entire careers not firing a single shot. You don't hear about that too often, and you've got to give those cops a lot of credit, but movies about cops like those have to be pretty boring.
It was nice that you included clips of Albert Popwell's other appearances in the "Dirty Harry" franchise. Nice montage placed within that famous scene.
That's why I rearranged that scene. The Popwell tribute was important and really only worked by moving things around. Thanks for spotting that. Another great comment, John.
Haha... I hear ya! I own 11! When the 1st D.H. movie came out my 'ol man bought 2, a 29-3 and a 629-1 (Stainless).. They cost around $475.00 back then, 1973-74 Now? The 29-3 I just bought last week cost me over $1,200!
I tried one once and the bloody thing nearly dislocated my shoulder so I went inside the shop and grabbed a Remington model 51 32 caliber with half a dozen boxes of hollow-point cartridges. That should do some damage to anybody breaking into my property.
When I was eleven years old my Dad and I were walking out of an Eastwood movie. I turned to him and said it would be a good thing if Clint Eastwood was elected president and Charles Bronson vice president. That way Eastwood could get the country back on track and Bronson would kill all the bad guys!!!
The music of Lalo Schifrin is so distinctive, I first heard his brilliant work on the soundtrack to Enter The Dragon and I've since learned he provided music to lots of tv shows ect long before that.
It was clever the way you moved backward and forward between scenes, yet still maintained credible continuity. You even managed to slip in an unrelated Dirty Harry spagehtti western. Evidently you are extremely knowledgeable on Clint movies. Excellent job Gart! 👏 😁 "Now where's High Plains Drifter? I must go find."
Thank you for your kind comment and thanks for understanding my editing style. I have a blast putting these videos together. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Kgpgx5ksKuc.html here is a link to more Eastwood shooting up the bad guys! Have a great day!
@@johnlaslow3074 My concealed carry is a 38 special +p. I don't know what people are talking about. It's plenty powerful. It'll definitely kill ya. I don't need a .357 magnum, let alone a .44
The "light special" in Magnum Force actually meant a loaded down .44 Magnum load, not .44 Special according to the filming crew. This has unfortunately caused misunderstandings over the years, making people believe that Harry never carried magnums in his S&W Model 29.
“You forgot your fortune cookie” “WWHAT!!” “It says... you’re shit outta luck” Thats one of those lines where you know damn well it’s an American movie 😂
🔫 Ah Ah, I know what you're thinking. 'Did he fire six shots or only five ?' Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I've kinda lost track myself. But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky ? Well, do ya, punk ?
I was under the assumption that Albert was Clint's friend in some way, and basically made cameo appearances of himself in different roles Actually that's a great idea to avoid being type cast as "generic cannon fodder thug 4" or something
Fun Fact: All the extras in Clint's movies that got shot were the highest paid at the time, Clint was using live ammo for the realistic effect for his scenes.
More bullshit...Your TRYING to convince us that people wore body armour, were shot WITH REAL AMMO TO FACILITATE REALISM and got paid good money for the risk? Might be too late for you in rehab cuzz your FRIED
I've been in an indoor range when someone fired a .44 Magnum a couple of spots away. The concussion was pretty strong when they fired a shot. Inside an airplane would leave everyone's ears ringing.
I truly appreciate the work you put into this edit. You did a great job. It also showed how dated these movies have become, and, imo, how bad they are.
