* MisaimedFandom: The scene of Harry's diatribe against affirmative action has been used by reactionary elements on the internet to dismiss the issue. While privately Eastwood is certainly not a fan of affirmative action, Harry's views come across rather bigoted in the film as Kate Moore is depicted as a competent cop who TookALevelInBadass and earns Harry's respect, and later saves his life at the cost of her own.

Maxwell being a former Vietnam veteran is just part of his character. It's not a message that all former Vietnam veterans are bad.

** Maxwell is crazy ex-Vietnam veteran typical of 1970's movies. Nowadays returning veterans might be villains or heroes, but at least they're not treated as facial-twitching psychopaths.
** The film's anti-affirmative action message can be harder to take in the 21th century, as many professions, including police, are using such programs to recruit more women.

I know this is YMMV, but I don't see how this is Narm and the examples themselves don't explain it either (except maybe the toiler plunger); intentionally crashing a car sounds like Crazy Awesome to me.

** In an early scene, when a criminal gang demands a getaway car, Harry gives them one: he gets in his squad car and rams the shop front where the criminals are holed up, taking them utterly off guard.
** In a later scene, Harry is chasing an assassin on foot across rooftops, who accidentally falls through a skylight -- [[CrashingThroughTheHarem right into a porn film shoot]].
** Harry also uses a toilet plunger on an underworld figure's face to extract information from him.
