the cheese is stinking up the queue

In reply to this comment by schmawy:
isn't Gorrillaz the guy from Blur? With the artist from "TankGirl" doing the animation? [e]Duh. Read the title st00pid. nefermiiiind.

Love the Dirty Harry and Terminator references.

More food for thought. I'm leaving the ones I don't like out. Like the dumb-ass rail gun from Eraser.

The quad rocket launcher from Commando.
The laser whip from Johnny Mnemonic.
Rambo's survival knife and bow.
The frisbee things from Tron.
Inigo Montoya's sword from The Princess Bride.
Charles Bronson's .44 Magnum from Death Wish.
Travis Bickle's quickdraw gun Mechanism from Taxi Driver.
Dirty Harry's .357 Magnum
Bullet Tooth Tony's Desert Eagle .50 from snatch.
Freddy Kruger's glove
Jason's Machette

This isn't over yet!

Personally I would have liked to see William Wallace's sword from Braveheart on the list. And how about Dirty Harry's .44 mag? My top 5 list:
1. Lightsaber, hands down number 1
2. General Kael's sword from Willow
3. Dirty Harry's .44 mag "do ya feel lucky punk?"
4. William Wallace's sword from Braveheart
5. Indy's Whip. It's just classy, versatile, and unique, not to mention he knows how to use it.

That should do.

The rookie asks why he hit the guy with the car, he could be dead.

That's when the baseball bat sequence starts. He responds, "does he look dead to you" while they're under attack.

The next scene, not shown, has the new chief chewing him out for running over the guy, asking why he had to run him over. Sounds like a total Dirty Harry moment or something - a movie that many critics compared this one to.

Dirty Harry is a principle player in any Badass-Armageddon.

The list as it's presented in this video is not complete. Quotes in ranks 62, 49, 46, 43, 27, 23, 7, 6, and 4 were omitted.

Those quotes and the movies they are taken from as listed on AFI's web page (http://www.afi.com/tvevents/100years/quotes.aspx) are as follows:

#62 - "What a dump." -- Beyond the Forest
#49 - "It's alive! It's alive!" -- Frankenstein
#46 - "Oh, Jerry, don't let's ask for the moon. We have the stars" -- Now, Voyager
#43 - "We'll always have Paris." -- Casablanca
#27 - "I'm walking here! I'm walking here!" -- Midnight Cowboy
#23 - "There's no place like home." -- Wizard of Oz
#7 - "All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up." -- Sunset Blvd.
#6 - "Go ahead, make my day." -- Sudden Impact
#4 - "Toto, I've got a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore." -- Wizard of Oz

I didn't know that that particular Dirty Harry movie's title was actually called Sudden Impact.

That's off the top of my head. My wife saw this and filled in a few more, and corrected a few.

What the world needs now is more Dirty Harry's who aren't afraid to upset the p.c. status quo in order to do The Right Thing.

Should be in Ball-Flexin', though it is a toss-up. Is this a dupe of http://www.videosift.com/video/Clint-Eastwood-as-Dirty-Harry-Do-you-feel-lucky-scene?

peretz pt 1:

Bush loves the extreme hypothetical of torturing Osama bin Laden as he is on the brink of nuking NYC. We all know that this a comic book fantasy and we love this fantasy in the same way we love it when Jack Bauer tortures the bad guys on 24 or Clint Eastwood shoots people in the face in Dirty Harry. It is pure good triumphing over unalloyed degenerate evil. In this limited hypothetical, I do believe that you can find torture to be moral in a purely utilitarian sense if only because it prevents more harm than it creates.

However, I would still want this behavior to be illegal. I want to live in a society where torture is considered aberrant and disgusting. Would you or I break this law in the bin Laden hypothetical? Absolutely. And then our behavior would be transparent, analyzed by a jury of our peers if necessary, and we would never be convicted (just like thieves weren't charged and convicted during Hurricane Katrina). Would you or I break the law if some Pakistani guy told us that the schlubby brown-skinned guy on the corner was aiming nukes at New York? Maybe we would be more deliberate and careful in our actions and investigate the matter further before we started waterboarding people.
