Sudden Impact (Original title: Sudden Impact ) is an American action - thriller from the year 1983 . Clint Eastwood , director, producer and lead actor of the film, played the role of the cop Harry Callahan for the fourth time.
action
Inspector Harry Callahan has been unsuccessfully attempted to murder in connection with his role as a witness in the trial of a mafia boss. In order to protect him and, above all, the environment, which is highly endangered by his self-defense, he is temporarily transferred to a small town on the northern coast against his will. There he is faced with a series of murders. In every murder, the victim is shot first in the genitals and then in the head.
In the course of the investigation, Callahan discovers that Jennifer Spencer, who works as a restorer on a circular train at the city's amusement park , is apparently linked to the murders. Years ago, she and her sister were mass raped by several men and a woman from the city in this amusement park. Since the son of the city's police chief was one of the perpetrators, the investigation was apparently unsuccessful at his instigation. This is now trying to hinder Callahan's investigation and to hide his own feelings of guilt from him. Because he could not cope with his guilt, his son crashed a car into a wall in a suicide attempt and as a result became a case of heavy care. He is therefore spared by Spencer.
The last surviving rapist, Mick, and his friends Carl and Eddie have now recognized the background to the series of murders, set a trap and kidnap Spencer. Mick, the leader, first shoots the repentant police chief in his house with Jennifer's revolver. He wants to hold her responsible for this murder.
They take her to the former fairground to rape her again. Callahan shoots the men. When more police units arrive, he gives them false clues that make Mick appear as the perpetrator of the series of murders, and goes off with Spencer.
Reviews
Roger Ebert wrote in the Chicago Sun-Times on December 12, 1983 that the film was part of popular culture. The characters, their motifs and the atmosphere would be reduced to a minimum. The film was cut with the "economy of a 30-second commercial" in order to reach the maximum audience.
“A vigilante justice film based on a well-known pattern: played-out crimes, disgusting types of perpetrators, loopholes in the law and lax case law make vigilante justice appear to be the only effective and legitimate means. Craftsmanship rather below average. "
background
The film grossed approximately $ 67.6 million in US theaters .
In this film, Eastwood used a newly released .44 AutoMag pistol in addition to his normal weapon.
One of the most famous quotes in the series comes from this film: “Go ahead, make my day.” In the German dubbed version, due to the lack of suitable translation options, “Na los noch, make my day” was not completely translated into German.
Albert Popwell also starred in the fourth Dirty Harry film. In the first part he played a bank robber, in the second part a pimp and in the third part a shady criminal who helps Dirty Harry. In the fourth he appeared as a partner of Dirty Harry.
Unindexing
After the film had been on the index since June 28, 1986, the Federal Testing Agency for Media Harmful to Young People removed the film from the list in March 2008. The FSK checked the title again and the uncut version received the seal “No youth release”. The background was the planned DVD release of the entire Dirty Harry series. In the event of further indexing, the entire product should not have been advertised.
