Should we watch more Dirty Harry? DOLLARS Trilogy: ru-vid.com/group/PLQHhQlj8i5dph8lKnVDfDPmz05NfX4SEH GRAN TORINO: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M2RPD0GhOK0.html
“You’ve got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well do ya, punk?” Such a badass and iconic line. Always love watching some Clint Eastwood, all 5 Dirty Harry movies are a blast.
I saw a reaction to this movie by some alleged filmmakers who complained about things like the dark alley scenes being too dark, as if alleys are always so well-lit that people can see everything just like they would in daytime. Those choices, the hand-held camerawork, the long sequences without dialogue, and the jazz-influenced score give this movie a special feel. I love it. And the character of Harry Callahan is a tour de force.
This wasn't massively expensive production (and the rival picture The French Connection was half of this movie's budget), so it might contribute to the lack of proper lighting/cameras for night shooting. Also, Don Siegel/Eastwood are the sort of directors who just wanna get the movie done in reasonable time and within budget instead of spending a lot of time and money to nail the visual look of the film.
I do hate the keeping the screen dark trope, you know, where they are showing the action or whatever except nobody can see it. I'm not sure if they did it in this one, but there was an epidemic of that crap. There's a place where that is appropriate and it's called radio. I also hate it when they make the guy hide in the only bright patch of light or out in the open or behind something see-through.
The Mayor was played by late great Canadian actor John Vernon. He played Dean Wormer in Animal House and had the most iconic line in film history In the Outlaw Josey Whales. Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining!
The late great John Vernon was also the first actor who recited the line "a pair of pliers and a blowtorch" from the 1973 heist movie 'Charley Varrick' starring Walter Mathau, John Vernon, Joe Don Baker, and Scorpio himself, Andrew Robinson. Tarantino stole that line to use in Pulp Fiction.
@@bubhub64Oh hot damn...another GREAT 1970s flick...for me a companion piece to Walter's other 70s classic ..." THE TAKING OF PELHAM ONE, TWO THREE....
That raw filthy '70's atmosphere in this just amazing. Top 10 movie of all time for me. ❤ Oh and the impact of this movie was pretty big at the time. One camp called it facist and what not and one camp loved it but either way, everybody was talking about it and every action movie since took at least a little inspiration from it.
What's interesting is that people called it facist because of how Harry himself was. But actually, Scorpio was the facist in the movie, if you think of it. He wanted to do some ''cleansing'' with his choises of victims. Harry was just a hunter of people who did bad things in society, and got into the goal by any mean necessary. It's also plot wise interesting insight of how the law systems work. People obviously root for Harry and want him to just ''get the guy'', but the law says otherwise, going against his will, despite him being right.
As a native San Franciscan, that quarry in the end scene is now an expensive, high end neighborhood. Lots of fancy restaurants and shops. It's nostalgic to see what it was like back then.
One of the most influential movies/franchises ever. TV for the next 15 years was dominated by derivative cop shows, there were a million copycats and a million spoofs. Dirty Harry's catch phrases from this move and the sequels saturated pop culture for decades. Eastwood pioneered the entire "tough cop that can't obey the rules" stereotype that lives on still today.
Also, special mention for Lalo Schrifrin because the score is amazing. Works perfectly in the scene where Scorpio stalks, loses (great panic acting) and then relocates his target. The way it ramps up is spot on.
This is one of Clint Eastwood's best rolls. Dirty Harry has a great amount of action from the beginning to end. The cinematography and the story was perfectly matched. This is one of my top favorites.
I remember seeing the wall poster, when this film was shown at our local cinema. It was also mentioned in the film trailer: “Detective Harry Callahan. You don't assign him to murder cases. You just turn him loose.”
Glad that you are covering this. Dirty Harry was my introduction to Andrew Robinson. Mr Robinson did such a remarkable job that his character stuck with me over the years, and was a foundation of how I perceived his character on Deep Space Nine many years later.
Garak is a great example of a complex character and well written. At various points he's just a tailor, or a sociopath, a patriot who still believes in a lost cause or mercenary/spy who works for whoever can do the most for him at the time. You know he's responsible for the deaths (likely tortured) of a lot of people, but I'd still like to sit at Quark's bar and have a few root beers with him. Maybe discuss morality and politics vs realpolitik, assuming he gave an honest answer.
"$100,000". That was a lot back then. I remember the first time I heard someone ask for a million dollars on a cop show. I thought, "Are they nuts! Who the heck has a million dollars?" I agree, JennyPenny, 70's movies definitely had a feel, a look, a taste, a sound all their own.
Scorpio is such a great menacing villain. He's very much a modern interpretation of the Joker. You have to watch Magnum Force after this! That's imo the best movie in this franchise.
Scorpio is based on a real-life unsolved serial killer who terrorized San Francisco by writing letters to the press about his killings and signed them "Zodiac" right before this movie was made (Zodiac operated from 1967-69, the movie came out in 1971). The real-life Zodiac killed some people with guns, some with knives, and threatened to set off bombs.
@@charlize1253 Appreciate the wikiesque information but we all know who the Zodiac is. Didn't know Scorpio was based on him, though. I happen to think the Zodiac is one of the most fictional unsovled mysteries in history. His ciphers were unsolvable because he made mistakes and thought he was smarter than he was. I don't buy into the high IQ serial killer. If you play chess and you're able to move your peices outside the chessboard, that would make you look smarter than average people because people play within the rules of the chessboard. People don't think of ways of killing people. Ways of stalking, scoping out houses, limiting their noticeability, looking for weaknesses. This is what makes them seem smart to us. It's just that we don't think that way.
Hi Jen! Glad you got around to this series. Movies from the 70s definitely had special flavor to them. There are so many good ones from that era. They certainly don't make them like that anymore. I hope you watch more 70s classics. 🥂
Excellent reaction to a Classic but controversial Police thriller. Next Dirty Harry movie, "Magnum Force" is even better (IMHO). If you want to see the other side of Police work from same era, watch Al Pacino's breakout portrayal of Det. Frank Serpico, "Serpico". A real eye opener.
Lalo Schifrin also wrote the original (TV) music for Mission Impossible -- which was carried over to the movies, as well. Probably his most recognizable work.
Great reactions, as always, Jen. Did you know, that Frank Sinatra was the first choice to play Dirty Harry, but had to withdraw from the movie, due to injury. Clint was picked to replace him, because his spaghetti westerns had become very popular at the time.
The mid 60's to early 70's was very much the age of the anti-hero. The vigilante move was a thing but probably more prominent as a genre in the 80's. Both Dirty Harry and 1974's Death Wish with Charles Bronson did create a major talking point at the time, having people discussing the moral implications of taking the law into your own hands. Definitely think you should continue with the rest of the Dirty Harry movies. He was the James Bond of the cop genre.
The girl (or more accurately, the corpse of the girl) Scorpio kidnapped and buried was the first film role (uncredited BTW) for actress Debralee Scott who went on to be well known as a regular in the groundbreaking comedy series "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman" and a recurring character in the series that first made John Travolta famous, "Welcome Back, Kotter."
@@regould221 The woman who was shot in the pool was played by Diana Davidson. You can see her face very well before she dies, and you clearly see that she looks nothing like Debralee Scott.
This one is gem. Clint Eastwood by this point was already very well established for his westerns, especially the Dollars trilogy so Dirty Harry really took him into legendary status. After this came many other great films including Josey Wales which is one of my very favorites!
Jen That criminal laying on concrete after being shot by Harry (Clint) was played by Albert Popwell. Popwell was in 3 other Clint's Dirty Harry movies: 1973's Magnum Force, 1976's The Enforcer, and 1983's Sudden Impact. Popwell was offered a role in 1988's The Deadpool.
You may not recognize him because of the makeup, but if you get further into your Star Trek journey, the actor who plays Scorpio will become a recurring character (and fan favorite) on a Star trek series.
The director, Don Siegel was quite iconic, he directed the original Invasion of the Bodysnatchers which you really need to watch, and had a cameo in the remake as a cab driver - Kevin McCarthy who starred in the original also showed up in a cameo ; one of the best remakes of a classic sci-fi horror film ever made. You go watch now.
Jen, it's funny that you wondered if Harry would pull a "Lethal Weapon" when dealing with the jumper because that scene was actually the inspiration for the similar scene in the original "Lethal Weapon". Also, you're probably right about this film's sequence of Scorpio having Harry run with the money from phone to phone probably did inspire the similar scene in Die Hard 3.
Trivia Dump: The movie was based on the Zodiac killer that operated in San Fransisco a few years before this. The movie Zodiac does a decent job explaining the case. Zodiac left coded notes for the police. One was only recently decoded. His first kills were up close with a handgun, probably with a flashlight taped to the barrel. He'd kill people parked at "lovers lane" locations. It was such a threat that parents would allow their teens to stay home to make out rather than risk them sneaking off. Zodiac also threatened to blow up a school bus. He send plans for the bomb to the police and they confirmed it was a viable attack. it would be remote triggered along the bus route, set to go off when something as tall as a bus passed by. Dirty Harry (the character) was based on the real-life detective on the Zodiac Case, right down to carrying a .44 Magnum. This was the character played by Mark Ruffalo in Zodiac. The .44 Magnum had been around for a while, but was considered to be too powerful and hard to shoot to be practical. It was originally meant for hunting and as "bear repellent" for hikers in the mountain west. It was so unpleasant to shoot that it was almost discontinued as a caliber. Then this movie came out and sales of .44's, especially Smith and Wesson's skyrocketed.
🔔 "AH, AH, AH. NOW I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKIN': YOU'RE THINKING 'DID SHE SEE SIX STAR TREK MOVIES OR ONLY FIVE?' NOW TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, I'VE FORGOTTEN MYSELF IN ALL THIS EXCITEMENT. BUT BEING THIS IS JEN MURRAY, THE MOST POWERFUL REACTOR IN THE WORLD AND WOULD BLOW YOUR MIND CLEAN OFF, YOU'VE GOTTA ASK YOURSELF A QUESTION: 'WILL SHE SEE ALL FIVE DIRTY HARRY MOVIES OR ONLY FOUR?'. DO YOU FEEL LUCKY, PUNK?"
His 1977 film “ the Gauntlet “ was the best of that Decade in my Opinion. He would co star with the late Sandra Locke. In 5 films . Fantastic Premise to Betting in Vegas on an Extradition . Sandra passed a while back.
70s is a great decade for cinema it has a certain aesthetic and musical scores are classic. And I didn't know Lalo Shifrin did the music for this and Enter the Dragon 😎👍
The auteur 70’s film movement is very special, indeed.. I’ll tell you, strangely enough, it started in 1961 with Robert Rossen’s The Hustler (Greek tragedy in a pool hall), and ended in 1983, with The Right Stuff.. Both are highly recommended, Jen..
Next up is Magnum Force. It's main blemish is that when Harry is asked what kind of load he uses, says I use a light Special, i.e. 44 Special, which is nowhere near the power of a 44 Magnum. That one will blur the lines even more.
I'm only going from memory. But I think he was referring to what he was using during the test. When police started switching to 357 Magnums it was common to use 38 Special loads during qualifying tests. The Idea of train was what you carry hadn't fully caught on.
I agree with your other comment. I was born in 1980, that's probably why most of my favourite movies are from 70s-90s, including The Towering Inferno, and the Roger Moore is my favourite Bond, who's films were also 70s to mid 80s (as i'm sure you remember).
I love this movie. Saw it one night way too young, as the folks left us alone one Friday night to do something and this came on at 11. I must have been all of ten years old when me and my bro stayed up to watch this on TV back in the 70's. As awesome as this movie is, amazingly, the actor who played the killer would go on to portray Garak on Deep Space Nine a little over 20 years later, and he nailed that role as well. Actually, come to think of it, he had quite the long movie career playing all different kinds of characters.
19:46 Mark! "Fatso" was heard more often back in the day before the majority became obese. Louie Anderson even joked about it! A guy calls him fat, and he replies, "Oh yeah? So are you!" The guy looks down at himself and agrees and then asks Louie if they should get a beer and a burger! 😅
Hi Jen, it's great you've seen this crime classic :) One of Clint Eastwood's best movies/characters. His brief monologue at the end is iconic. I highly recommend him in Kelly's Heroes (1970) It's a WWII action comedy set in the aftermath of D-Day. He plays the title character, who leads a platoon of American soldiers, who use a break from fighting to go after nazi gold hidden behind enemy lines. Please react to that soon. And I can't wait for your Blues Brothers reaction :) the GOAT musical comedy!
James I ove Kelly's Heros. Growing up in the 70s and 80s Kelly's Hero's was a Saturday night late movie if I had my weekend homework done I could stay up and watch it. Sometimes I would just watch it anyway
I'm astonished this movie hasn't been cancelled/censored/banned by now. It still shocks me the sheer number of people now who seem to think movies and tv shows are somehow real people being awful instead of fictional drama that is supposed to showcase all sides of humanity to learn wisdom from. Or that history needs to be suppressed and censored instead of fully learned from as it actually was. Not a single person I knew who grew up with this movie actually turned into toxicmasculineblablabla, in fact they are all super nice, open minded folk. If anyone actually just copies bad personality traits from fictional characters in a movie, they are already people inclined towards being foolish and censoring everything will never ever ever work to stop that. Proper education and basic financial and other friendly support for all is the only way to curb as much of that as possible. Everything now is only allowed to exist if it's some superfake CareBears mindless, repetitive and "self-aware" (ie, one of the now incessant lazy storytelling tricks) pop culture fest.
@@tomgu2285 Indeed, whereas now the only things allowed to be even considered for any production are completely decided by soulless corporations merely spinning pre-existing franchises because the internet data tells them that's what will sell most, and trying new original ideas is too risky. Ironically, every single major legacy franchise now from Star Wars to Superman would never have even been allowed to get made had things been then like they are now. They would have just been endlessly spinning out Gone With The Wind as a franchise and constantly remaking Citizen Cane and It's A Wonderful Life etc.
Great reaction, Jen. I hope you stay in the 70s, but the OG 70s cop/crime thriller was in 1968! "Bullet" starring the ultra-cool Steve McQueen. If you include that on your watch list you will not regret it!
Dollars trilogy is a must watch, I would also recommend the taking of Pelham 1,2,3. From 1974. It's not Clint related but it's a good movie from that time period that you would enjoy.
17:03 Mark! The character doesn't know that cement is just one ingredient used to make concrete because the writers didn't know that either! Cement is to concrete as flour is to cakes! 😊
We actually watched this in my high school grade 11 Law class back in 1987. Teacher wanted us to pick out the infractions Inspector Callahan committed while capturing Scorpio.
I love how much you get drawn into what you watch Jen, another great reaction. As others have mentioned, Andrew Robinson who played the killer also played a great character in Star Trek Deep Space Nine (I hope you watch DS9 after TNG). Another 70's cop movie I hope you watch is The Taking Of Pelham One Two Three (not the 2009 reboot).
7:58 Mark! "Ishtar"! That movie debuted an "Airwolf" imitator, minus the supersonic ability, plus more missiles. It has been used in other movies ever since! Because of the nature of the "versus" concept, on "RU-vid" you can see Clint Eastwood flying the "Firefox" against others, including the aforementioned helicopters. He wins or loses depending on the preference of the video makers. 😮
Another absolute classic Clint Eastwood movie, this was an iconic series of movies. Everybody liked this one back in the day, our local movie house was full house at every screening, when the scond one was released it was also a big hit.
PS: By the way! The two tall skyscrapers in "The Towering Inferno" were tall miniature models! They were so tall that men used ladders to work on them. They were built just sturdy enough to endure outdoor wind so that the real sky could be the background. The men that worked on the model city for "Logan's Run" looked like giants playing with tiny Earthlings! The cities made for the old "Godzilla" movies, you can see their scale thanks to their costumed man approach of monster movie making. But anyway, for Clint Eastwood movies? "Tarantula" - "Firefox" - "Space Cowboys" - "Paint Your Wagon" - "Pale Rider"... I avoided the cockfight movie because of the subject matter! Besides, the preview gave us the punchline of "If a man wants to name his cock 'Macho' that's his business!" 😊
Here's a great cop movie in San Francisco from 1968: "Bullitt" with Steve McQueen. A great movie all the way around. Steve McQueen bought the rights to the story and produced i5 himself.
I discovered that last musical piece as a sample in a french rap song; the melancholy, the bittersweetness, the underlying sadness and tireness... Then later, I saw this movie and recognised it instantly, despite the sample being a bit sped up. Lalo Schiffrin was a master composer, really... You should watch the iconic Bullit with Steve McQueen, his work on its score was, again, absolutely brilliant. Great video as always, thanks.
My older brother saw this at 15 with his buddy and his buddy's dad in '71. He mentioned the usual classic lines but said when the shot came of Harry on the bridge at the end waiting for Scorpio, the whole theater erupted and more when Harry smoked him. The original rouge cop film and still what they're all measured by, because of Eastwood.
Lalo Schifrin wrote the soundtrack to my life in the 60's and 70's. Bullitt grabbed me first. I must've driven my parents crazy by playing the soundtrack over and over again. The Dirty Harry score was also one of my favorites. Lalo Schifrin scored a staggering amount of films . I wasn't aware of it early on but he was responsible for iconic television scores from that era as well like Mission: Impossible, The Man From Uncle, and Mannix just to name a few.
19:38 Mark! Yes! Sneakers for sneaking! Shoes for every occasion! Video gaming enforces that notion, I suppose. But we're not all as patient as Mister Fred Rogers. At home, I have my new slippers as house shoes and one pair of street shoes. I used to more specialized shoes, but that was a hassle to switch between them! 😮
Miss Jen, "Dirty Harry" was actually based on S.F.P.D. Inspector Dave Toschi who assigned to its Homicide Detail from 1966 to 1978 and was most widely known for his efforts in the San Francisco Police Department as an inspector in the Zodiac Killer case. His "Personal Style" was the model for Bullitt & Dirty Harry. Both movies are centered around a hard-boiled police detective working the streets of San Francisco. Detective Frank Bullitt was fighting mafia hitmen while Inspector Harry Callahan was trying to bring down an insane psycho serial killer. Both of these fictional detectives are based on one man: real-life San Francisco detective, Dave Toschi. While the film characters drew their swagger and style from Toschi's personal character, his professional style "was by the book, efficient and thorough!" Toschi was well known for his style of dress, including bow-ties, 'loud' plaid suits, bounteous curls, and exaggerated trench-coat at a time when investigating officers strove to look subdued "like G-Men." His ties, signature suits, and "exaggerated" trench coats earned him the attention of the San Fran news media, but his work was his enduring legacy - and what ended up translated to the silver screen. He served in the 24th Infantry Division in Korea. It was the unit that took the brunt of a full-scale North Korean invasion with no reinforcements in sight, the unit that held the "Pusan Perimeter" for months on end, and the unit that pushed the Chinese back to the 38th Parallel the very next year. Toschi was that Guy, but he truly made his name as a police detective, cleaning the streets of San Francisco for 32 years.("I'm not a Vengeful Type, but when a life is taken, There Must Be Justice," he said.) I suggest you also need to Review the movie "Bullitt" with Steve McQueen who specifically copied Toschi's distinctive style of quick-draw shoulder-holster (wearing his gun upside down etc) for the 1968 movie Bullitt. McQueen also claimed that he modeled much of his Bullitt *character on Dave Toschi.*
Fun fact: the title role was originally offered to John Wayne, Frank Sinatra, Robert Mitchum, Steve McQueen, Burt Lancaster, and Paul Newman. Newman was the one who suggested the role would be a good vehicle for Eastwood.
I've watched 100+ reaction videos, this reaction is the first to mention the music composer Lalo Schifrin!!! Thank you for this!!! He never gets enough cred for his contributions to TV and film!!!
Well done, darlin'.Three years before Harry, there was a southwestern cop on a mission to retrieve a character from the Big Apple. COOGAN'S BLUFF. Movie led to TV Series MCCLOUD. Amid the run as Inspector Callahan, another southwestern cop on a mission to get someone to court. THE GAUNTLET. In each of our DH movies, we get quotable quotes. Maybe I should heed my own advice. "A man's got to know his limitations. "
This movie's most famous line is often misquoted. A lot of people mistakenly quote the line as "Do you feel lucky, punk?", while the actual line is "You've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?"
Oh Yeah! Jen does Harry Callahan! My dad wouldn't let me go see this when it for came out (too young), so he related the movie like if was a bedtime story (Laughing out loud)! Harry was Clint's iconic Roles! Super Thanks! Well do you feel lucky?
I first saw this film when I was about 7 because my grandparents fell asleep on the sofa and I was absolutely terrified of the killer. I think the music really contributed to the terror. Classic film!
Sondra Locke, Clint's main squeeze at the time, was in "Sudden Impact". They'd been shacking up, since the mid 70's and she had done several movies with him.
The dirty Harry films were kinda the 'Terminator' movies of the 70's with the one liners and catchphrases. All the kids in my school knew the lines. :)
Another great crime movie with a similar seventies vibe and also scored by Lalo Schifrin is "Charley Varrick" (1973) starring Walter Matthau (showing just how good he can be in a straight role) and Joe Don Baker as well-matched criminal adversaries, with supporting roles by Andrew Robinson (Scorpio) and John Vernon (the mayor) from this film. As far as I can tell, you'd be the first RU-vidr to react to it.
Dirty Harry. The guy who's for the law, but goes beyond the law. Not out for vengence, or hate. But because he knows what needs to be done for justice. He knew he had to break the law, and if he played by the rules, others would die. That's a sense of courage and sacrifice. Basically in the end, he shot Scorpio despite the risk to the kid. Because he knew if he didn't stop Scorpio, he'd just kill again. Even if there was no sequels. Dirty Harry makes you ask questions. That's what a great movie does.
Scorpio was definitely inspired by the Zodiac killer ... but the film itself was also a criticism of Soft on Crime policies in Liberal cities like San Francisco. Fast Forward 50 Years Later ... and San Francisco is still Soft on Crime and hasn't learned from its previous mistakes.
3:58 Mark! Collateral damage! That's why they're not allowed to do that anymore! In "The Andy Griffith Show" even Sheriff Andy Taylor caused some! A pretty blonde and her husband were driving away from their crime scene! Andy, being unarmed as usual, had to get nervous Barney's revolver pistol from Barney's holster in order to shoot out at least one tire! The car crashed into something on the sidewalk, but almost hit two astonished ladies and at least one man and maybe children! But it was played for laughs! 😮
The sniper at the beginning is on the roof of 555 Bush Street, which was at the time the second-tallest building in San Francisco (and still one of the tallest), and was the "Bank Of America" building for decades. He was shooting at a girl in the rooftop pool of another, much shorter building a quarter mile or so away, which would have been an incredibly difficult shot, especially with the height differential and the wind blowing around and between the buildings. At the time, San Francisco was clean, relatively safe for a city of its size, and full of commerce. Sadly, today it's more of a warzone.
Did you know: the scene where Harry "talks" the guy off the ledge was directed by Eastwood? Director Siegel was ill, and they didn't want to lose time... FYI: The script was ghost-written by future Conan/Red Dawn director John Milius (also writer of Apocalypse Now!), who came up with the whole "Do you feel lucky" dialogue (and went on to write--and get credit for Magnum Force, the next in the Dirty Harry series--and a flick I hope you review in the future). Great job
Jen, hi! I thought about stopping viewing this when I saw that you reacted to and reviewed "Gran Torino" but I didn't. But "The Towering Inferno" is one of my favorite movies and thick paperback novels! ("Safeway" had it on one of their vertical carousels. One was comics, one was other magazines, one was paper, folding maps and atlases, and one was paperback books. I was so happy that I convinced my elders to buy it for me! Hmm. "$1.75" maybe? 🤔 Sadly, though, during the 1980s, I sold a lot of literature to the "Ada Book Stall" so that I could keep up with "The Crisis On Infinite Earths" collection! 😮 I'm so glad that there is someone like you viewing movies made before your time! 😊 Movies like "The Towering Inferno" inspired me to build my own cityscapes using "Tinkertoy" & "Lincoln Logs" & "Lego" & "Tupperware Toys" and whatever I could find. Only for Grandma to raze my cities just to get her stuff back. "Tupperware" did make a construction kit that included black wheels to make improvised toys with. There was an ice cream treat company that didn't use wooden sticks but used collectible plastic sticks that could be snapped together, rather than the metal sticks made by that one company whose name I forget. I used to draw cityscapes because I got tired of my toy cities being demolished! 😁
My dad was working in an oil refinery less than a mile from where the first Zodiac killing took place in 1968. They didn't know at the time it was the work of a serial killer at the time, but the following night my dad was collecting samples from an oil tank when he heard gunshots. He dropped down and made himself as flat as possible on the top of this tank while he called for help on his radio. The police found the idiot. It was an armed security guard who was the night watchman for the industrial park. He'd been shooting at jackrabbits. He was cleared in the Lake Herman murders but he was the first person arrested in connection of what would become the Zodiac case. The owners of the industrial park decided after this that they didn't need an armed guard after all, and the company the guard worked for decided they didn't need his help after that.
25:06 Mark! At least in this movie, we know that neither Superman nor Supergirl are involved! But the big bridge probably is! 🤔😊 (This is in reference to the school bus!)
