<p dir="auto">Sure, as long as the closing shot shows his tombstone with his name and epitaph which would be, "So do ya feel lucky, punk?"<br />
"Please vote to preserve the unique character of Warren…" - Robert Duvall</p>

<p dir="auto">Clint could only play Dirty Harry now as a very old guy who's retired.<br />
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.</p>

<p dir="auto">If he did, it would be as Harry Callahan all retired.  After all, Clint is in 90s' now, and he didn't want to play Dirty Harty at retirement age - imagine Dirty Harry on duty at 90.</p>

<p dir="auto">And I think Clint Eastwood is one of the best American directors today.<br />
When he became a director in 1970, it was a major step of his career.<br />
If he's still working today, it's probably because he is a director. A gifted one.<br />
Many great actors of his generation are retired: Gene Hackman, Sean Connery,<br />
Jack Nicholson.</p>

<p dir="auto">Clint Eastwood doesn't plan to play Dirty Harry again.<br />
He said several times that he doesn't want to repeat himself.<br />
He thinks that among the five Dirty Harry movies he made, two were too many.<br />
He didn't say which movies he was talking about.<br />
But these movies are probably The Dead Pool and The Enforcer, in my opinion.<br />
Despite their qualities, these movies are the worst of the Dirty Harry franchise.<br />
Clint made The Dead Pool in order to thank Warner Brothers for supporting him when he wanted to make Bird, which was not a box office hit.<br />
The Enforcer didn't bring something new in the Dirty Harry franchise but it was entertaining enough. The fact that Dirty Harry has a female colleague in this one is interesting.<br />
The best movie is the original by far.<br />
Magnum Force and Sudden Impact were very good too.<br />
These movies, with The Enforcer, made Clint Eastwood a superstar in the 70's and the 80's.<br />
Magnum Force is an answer to critic Pauline Kael, in many ways.<br />
Indeed, Pauline Kael said that Dirty Harry was fascist.<br />
So, in Magnum Force, Harry Callahan fights against a bunch of police officers who act like fascist. But it didn't convince Pauline Kael.<br />
Sudden Impact is different and can stand alone.<br />
In this one, Clint Eastwood played with his screen persona like he did in The Gauntlet, Bronco Billy, Honkytonk Man, Tightrope, or Heartbreak Ridge.<br />
I like all the five movies.<br />
My favorite are Dirty Harry, Magnum Force and Sudden Impact.</p>

<p dir="auto">That would be great.  Respectfully, I think he has done some great directing.</p>
