Harry Callahan (character) - Additional Notes

Additional Notes

  • Callahan's SFPD badge number as briefly seen near the end of the first film is 2211 while his callsign is "Inspector 71".
  • In a December 2006 interview Clint Eastwood describes Callahan as living a "retired" life, and often jokes that if he were to reprise the character, Dirty Harry would be flyfishing with the .44 Magnum by now. On Late Show with David Letterman, he also joked that his character would have to chase the crooks with a walker.
  • In Magnum Force, Harry's last name Callahan is misspelled as "Calahan" in the end credits.
  • In all five films combined, Harry has killed 45 criminals total.
  • Eastwood good-naturedly reprises Harry's "do I feel lucky" line in a 2007 television ad promoting tourism in San Francisco, as he is seen golfing and suggests visiting tourists should feel lucky by challenging the city's golf courses.
  • In Back to the Future: The Game The name "Harry Callahan" can be chosen for Marty's Fake Identity in 1931; this is a nod to the third film in which Marty refers to himself as "Clint Eastwood" when he poses as a westerner in 1885.

Famous quotes containing the words additional and/or notes:

    When I turned into a parent, I experienced a real and total personality change that slowly shifted back to the “normal” me, yet has not completely vanished. I believe the two levels are now superimposed, with an additional sprinkling of mortality intimations.
    Sonia Taitz (20th century)

    ‘Tis the gift to be simple ‘tis the gift to be free
    ‘Tis the gift to come down where you ought to be
    And when we find ourselves in the place just right
    ‘Twill be in the valley of love and delight.
    —Unknown. ‘Tis the Gift to Be Simple.
