Every cop wanted to be Steve McQueen then. Some even started dressing like Steve McQueen. When 'Dirty Harry' came out, he did what most cops wanted to do: take on the department they worked for that was always getting in the way. Clint Eastwood didn't give a damn what 'downtown' said. In fact, he went downtown and told them (what was right). |
Today's cop is yesterday's cowboy. Today's cop movie is yesterday's western. |
