Film References
Although it is non-canon to the film series and novels, it however incorporates several references to the film series. The game uses digitized speech to deliver both of Harry's famous lines ("Make my day", "I know what you're thinking..."), and the showdown occurs on Alcatraz island. Also the password for infinite lives (CLYDE), is a reference to Clyde the Orangutan from Every Which Way but Loose and the password for level 2 is Misty, a reference to Play Misty for Me, both non-Dirty Harry films starring Clint Eastwood.

Famous quotes containing the word film:
“Film is more than the twentieth-century art. It’s another part of the twentieth-century mind. It’s the world seen from inside. We’ve come to a certain point in the history of film. If a thing can be filmed, the film is implied in the thing itself. This is where we are. The twentieth century is on film.... You have to ask yourself if there’s anything about us more important than the fact that we’re constantly on film, constantly watching ourselves.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
