Dirty Harry and evidence of intent
Varifrank looks at dialog form 1971 film:
...Later in the same movie, Harry has to explain why he shot a man.
Harry Callahan: Well, when an adult male is chasing a female with intent to commit rape, I shoot the bastard. That's my policy.
The Mayor: Intent? How did you establish that?
Harry Callahan: When a naked man is chasing a woman through an alley with a butcher's knife and a hard-on, I figure he isn't out collecting for the Red Cross!The Mayor(to the DA): He's got a point.
If Hollywood got it in 1971,why cant it get it in 2005? Hollywood should also take notice that unlike Syriana, Dirty Harry made money for its producers. Coincidence? I think not...
