I'm a fan of almost everything Clint is in. I agree that was a trope, even at that point in history, but it still works today. Due South was a criminally underrated show BTW.

Yes, you could take a helo from the Pan-Am building--now the Met Life Building, to the NYC airports back in the day. Then, one day in the late 70's?---the helo that was idling on the roof had one of it's landing gear collapse. As the spinning blades hit the roof and kaboomed!, one piece of blade traveled out, and then back into the building, broke the window, and took the head off some guy at his desk. For real.
That was the end of helo's on that roof. I've worked on 3 projects in that building. Huge PITA to work in. . . for several reasons. . |

- Eastwood's character banged a mentally ill drug addict who helped club him earlier in the movie, men didn't pass up pussy -later on he assaults her to get info out of her, he threw her so hard through the air he broke a bannister on the set, then strangled her until she talked If there’s one thing I’ve learned on arf lately it’s that unless banging drug addicts and later beating information out of them is explicitly forbidden in the policy manual it’s open season on druggie chicks.

Quoted:
It's a cool if overused premise . Western cop (Clint Eastwood) has to go to Manhattan. It starts out with an okay for the time action scene with Eastwood in a Jeep hunting an Indian in a loincloth armed with a scoped M1 carbine. But then it boooogs the fuck down. Eatwood blah blah blah with NYC cops, Eastwood trying to screw a female probation officer, Eastwood throws whore out of his fleabag hotel, more blah blah. Eastwood does finally get jumped in the Pan Am building by a guy my wife thinks was the dad from Happy Days and loses his prisoner and revolver. There is a bar fight where Eastwood again gets beat up and the end has a decent motorcycle chase. But wow were movies dull. I will say -fair amount of weird 60/70 lsd party nudity -hilariously incorrect by 2018 standards although it wouldn't have raised an eyebrow in the 80s or 90s -in the late 60s you could take a commuter helicopter from the airport and land on the roof of the pan am building? If accurate that was pretty cool -the nyc detectives looked like they were in their 70s - Eastwood's character banged a mentally ill drug addict who helped club him earlier in the movie, men didn't pass up pussy -later on he assaults her to get info out of her, he threw her so hard through the air he broke a bannister on the set, then strangled her until she talked The late 60s and 70s were an odd period in film. You had young directors wanting to break free of the structured system that was the studios. They wanted to be counter culture like everything else and do art. By the late 70s and early 80s, they were replaced with folks that made the epics we love today. They grew up watching those weird films and took from it the right amount of rule breaking, but worked within the studio system to get funding and backing for their projects to make blockbusters. Look at Bonnie and Clyde (1967) and Dillinger (1973) as an example of typical late 60s early 70s film. B&C was controversial on its original release for its supposed glorification of murderers, and for its level of graphic violence. Director and writer John Milius did Dillinge and took a lot of inspiration from B&C. It is a poorly funded film with a lot of confused sexual feelings that is aided by some of the roughest, most violent gun battle ever staged on screen at the time. Milius learned from that and his experience with Dirt Harry. Milius has always been out there, but was reigned in by his USC after Dillinger and went on to do very well. By the 1980s, films again were an industrial product and formed into the format we have today. |

The “overused premise” may have first been used in this flick IIRC.
They had to develop Eastwood’s on screen persona in an urban environment. The Western was a near dead genre at the time. |

I'll counter the penguin's statement and say that the ratio of good to meh to bad movies in that era was pretty much the
same as today's. Speaking of Clint Eastwood, look no further that "Kelly's Heroes" which is STILL one of the best War movies of all time. |

60s/70s movies always had a boobie scene. With Real boobs, not water balloons. You never get to see that on TV, though.
Personally, Zardoz was pretty awesome. But my mom took me to see it. That was a little awkward. |

There is a scene in "Dillinger" where during a gunfight some bad guy dumps a 20 round mag from a BAR through a door at an agent. The collective in drawn breaths by the people in the theater was just as awesome as the mag dump. I was surprised that so many people in attendance understood what happened. |
