I would have LOVED Eastwood to have taken the Morgan Freeman role in " Seven " .
That aside , a few others would be........

Paul Newmans character in " Slap Shot "

De Niro's character from " Midnight Run "

Kurt Russel's role in John Carpenters " The Thing "

but , above all , SEVEN !

Chuck Norris'  film " Code Of Silence " was written with Clint in mind .......... he passed on the idea and it was tailored to suit Chucks persona .

The Dirty Harry Films / Re: The Enforcer

The Enforcer while it may be the weakest of the original three movies is head and shoulders over Sudden Impact and The Dead Pool .
It's got good villains, a decent partner and a suitably downbeat 70s ending . It also features one of the best set pieces in the series when Harry drives through the shop window 44 Magnum blazing .

The Dirty Harry Films / Re:Return of Dirty Harry (con't)....

Let the character rest in peace . I want to remember Harry as he was and not see a retired Callaghan tredding the streets of Friscoe for whatever reason they come up with .

The Dirty Harry Films / Re:Favourite Harry movie?

« on: January 26, 2003, 04:58:25 AM »

The quality of the Harry films deterioated as the series went on with Dirty Harry the very best and The Dead Pool deservedly at the bottom .
Sudden impact was fun but for me the real Harry films are the first three which are all excellent to varying degrees .
