The star retired the character following 1988’sThe Dead Pool, and the series has been dormant ever since.
It’s likely to remain that way since it’s almost impossible to imagine anyonebutClint in that role.
The structure of the story has many similarities to the originalDirty Harry.
Sadly,The Dead Poolexplored none of that and instead slotted Eastwood’s detective into a limp procedural.
When it came to gettingBirdproduced, Eastwood agreed to makeDirty Harryand that’s howThe Dead Poolcame together.
Clint himself is visibly disengaged and the finale is too darn silly.

Clint Eastwood stars in the western Dirty Harry as a no-nonsense San Francisco cop who takes the law into his own hands in pursuit of a serial killer, Scorpio. Directed by Don Siegel and featuring a memorable score by Lalo Schifrin, the film is known for its iconic catchphrases and intense action scenes, and has influenced countless films and TV shows in the years since its release.
Based on the original graphic novel by Frank Miller, Sin City is a dark and gritty crime-noir action movie that tells several different stories, all set at the same time in the same city. The lines of good and evil are blurred, with vigilantism being the new norm, as a city rife with corruption slowly swallows its citizens whole. Each protagonist is loosely connected to one another’s stories as the movie paints a bigger picture through each new point of view.
