Stephen Fry shoots a .44 Magnum, pretends to be Dirty Harry

Holy mackerel!

Woah. He really has lost a lot of weight (see his Top Gear appearance after his American adventure).

Is this also the gun they used for the decapitated thumb myth at MythBusters?

^It's not from A Fist Full of Dollars. It's the theme from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly composed by Ennio Morricone.

I assume they used it because it's a one of the most classic and famous original scores of all time and the theme to Dirty Harry is 70's style soundtrack garbage. ...and people associate the Good Bad Ugly soundtrack with Clint Eastwood.


We might as well call it "The Clint Eastwood Theme Song."

Why is the music from a fist full of dollars? Surely dirty harry had a sound track too?

Having fired a Magnum (a S&W 629 .44 in Prague) and being an Englishman, it is a very, very surreal experience in a country where guns are taboo. As an engineer, it was a lovely, lovely piece of metal to hold in your hand; the sheer weight of it gave creedance to the fact that is was something so powerful. My own reaction was pretty much the same as Stephen's. Simply awesome.
