Dirty Harry is called because it was filmed in the winter.

Following on from an earlier thread, this is a "standard" quiz chestnut.

Q - In which film did Harry Callaghan, played by Clint Eastwood say the line "Go ahead, make my day."?

Rookies ALWAYS answer Dirty Harry whereas, of course, the answer is Sudden Impact.

Are you talking about HMS Pandora, or do you mean the name of the ship(s) used in the making of the various films...?

.44 Magnum!

funny thing is, as I recall he does use the Magnum, and it doesn't blow anyone's head clean off. It was very disappointing.

Another quote from the film, "Now you know why they call me Dirty Harry, every dirty job that comes along"

Ironically, The Pandora proved hopeless in its quest.
