Funny / Dirty Harry

Go To

  • The scenes of Harry peeping. He starts by accident, but continues willingly each time.
    • The first time Harry is caught by some bystanders who beat him up, and, after saving him and finding out why they were beating him, his partner Gonzales asks: "Is this why they call you Dirty Harry?"
    • The second time Harry is looking for Scorpio with binoculars when he notices some fanservice in a window... And is noticeably pissed when he's forced to stop because Scorpio has shown up just when the show was about to get very juicy, and not only has to stop peeping but open fire with an absurdly powerful rifle and thus scare away the girls.
    • The third time Harry is stalking Scorpio, who got Off on a Technicality, and one of the places where Scorpio goes is a strip club holding an amateur topless contest. Harry is visibly annoyed when Scorpio leaves and he has to follow him.
  • Scorpio's goofy scream and face when Harry stabs him in the leg.
  • While Scorpio stealing the liquor store owner's gun is tense and out of nowhere, what makes it funny is that after stealing the gun and knocking the owner out he steals another liquor bottle on top of it.
  • When Scorpio pays a large black man to beat him up. At the end of it, Scorpio is such an ass that the guy even punches him one more time "on the house"!
    • The reason that Scorpio paid the black guy to beat him up was to frame Harry by claiming that it was police brutality. When the mayor questions Harry about it, Harry admits to following Scorpio, but denies assaulting him on the grounds that "He looks too damn good!"
  • Harry's nonchalant defense of shooting a rapist: "When a naked man is chasing a woman through an alley with a butcher knife and a hardon, I figure he isn't out collecting for the Red Cross."
  • When trying to deliver the ransom to Scorpio, Harry is approached by a gay prostitute calling himself "Alice":
    Alice: [suggestively] My friends call me Alice, and I will take a dare.
    Harry: Well, Alice, when was the last time you were busted?
    Alice: [upset, panicked] If you're vice, I'll kill myself!
    Harry: Well, do it at home! [runs off]
