Breakfast with Dirty Harry

....so on Saturday morning we were having breakfast and we flipped on the box and happened to stumble across Magnum Force. Now, you may be asking yourself, why would I even be remotely interested in watching Dirty Harry fight through "red tape" on the streets of San Francisco on a Saturday morning? Well, for one, it's Clint, and well....enough said. I still think he could take Chuck Norris in a street fight. (Don't tell Chuck!) It's also a good time to see old footage of San Francisco, but what really jumped out at me, was the pristine Splitty he takes out when running from the cops. (3:37) My heart actually stopped! I found it more traumatic than the guy he threw out of his moving car!

Scene right before the damage takes place.....

Also to note, Harry really knows how to handle that unmarked Ford from the 70s, and oddly enough, I have a strange desire to watch The Enforcer this weekend.




(For you
VW enthusiasts, you can also see him whip by an old bug at 4:09)

Awful. Just awful.

I wouldn't be shocked to learn that it was a symbol of law dominating over the carefree lifestyle that Dirty Harry hated so much...

Man, the cops are ALWAYS messing with the VW buses...
