* DeceptionNoncompliance: The diner Harry Callahan goes into is being robbed, and the robbers force everybody to act normally while Callahan is there. Callahan has been getting coffee there for ten years and never has sugar, but this time, the waitress adds a ton of it. The robbers don't see anything unusual, but Callahan goes straight back in after his first sip.

-->-- '''Harry Callahan'''
''Sudden Impact'' (1983) is the fourth film featuring Creator/ClintEastwood as [[Film/DirtyHarry Detective "Dirty" Harry Callahan]].
Harry Callahan is sent to a small town to investigate series of murders. Responsible for these deaths is one Jennifer Spencer (Sondra Locke), who is out to avenge the gang-rape she and her sister were subjected to in the past.
!!This film has the examples of:
* AmusementPark: The climax takes place in a closed amusement park.
* AssholeVictim: Everybody except the bystander girls and [[spoiler: Charlie [=McCoy=].]]
* BatmanColdOpen: The film opens with Harry running into a diner robbery.
* BeamMeUpScotty: "Make my day" is sometimes attributed to the first film.
* BigBad: The rapists were an ensemble, but Mick is clearly the one calling the shots.
* BreastAttack: One woman was involved in the gang-rape - Jennifer shoots her in the breast.
* CaliforniaDoubling: Though the scenes in San Francisco were filmed on location, the second half of the film in the fictitious town of San Paulo was actually filmed in Santa Cruz. For the record, that wooden roller coaster that Harry shoots Mick off of at the end is the Giant Dipper at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk.
* ClickHello: An armed man is sneaking up on Harry who is doing target practice, because of several threats on his life. As the man almost reaches him, Harry spins around, cocking the gun, then recognizing the man and saying "Horace!" (the man is Harry's partner).
* CoitusUninterruptus: Mick is having rough sex with a woman, and hurting her, and enjoying that it hurts her, when the phone rings. He continues to have painful (to her) sex with this woman, while on the phone, after answering the phone with an obscene response.
* DarkerAndEdgier: The film when compared to the other ''Dirty Harry'' films, due to its [[RapeAsDrama rape theme]] as well as being considered the darkest, dirtiest, and most violent of the series.
* DescriptionPorn: Harry on the AMC Auto Mag:
--> "Well, this is the .44 Magnum Auto Mag and it holds a 300 grain cartridge. And if properly used, it can '''remove''' the fingerprints."
** It's not entirely clear what 'proper' technique could result in a suspect losing all of his fingers and both his thumbs, particularly considering the weapon only holds a maximum of 8+1 rounds, but no doubt Clint would find a way...

* HospitalityForHeroes: The novelization of the film mentions that Harry received his unusual .44 Automag pistol as a gift from a custom gunsmith after he had saved the man's wife... probably by killing those endangering her, knowing Harry. It's suggested that he is often offered free stuff, because the text states that the pistol is the only such gift he ever accepted.
