Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Eastwood ad-libbed 'Go ahead, make my day' during rehearsal; it wasn't in the original script. Reagan later quoted it in a 1985 tax speech.
This is the only Dirty Harry film directed by Eastwood himself, and the only one where Harry has a sustained romantic subplot—conveniently with Eastwood's real-life partner Sondra Locke.
