Zodiac Killer: 1 line the host's read ×1

  1. unmapped (case becomes movie): Zodiac Killer ⇒ Dirty Harry (the host's read). In the film Ruffalo's line says they are already making movies about the case, at the Dirty Harry premiere.
    “They're already making movies about it.”

Connected to

A Clockwork Orange: 1 line unmapped ×1

Beverly Hills Cop: 1 line lineage ×1

  1. lineage (lineage): Beverly Hills Cop → Dirty Harry. The film plays closer to a 70s crime movie like Dirty Harry or The Outfit than to an 80s action blockbuster.
    “this movie's way closer to like Dirty Harry or the outfit or 7, like a 70s crime movie than it is like our idea of like 80s action blockbuster.”

Blue Steel: 1 line lineage ×1

  1. lineage (lineage): Blue Steel → Dirty Harry. The after-shooting inquiry echoes the way Dirty Harry handled a cop's use of force.
    “Dirty Harry done the same thing.”

Dean Reisner: 1 line unmapped ×1

  1. unmapped (credits): Dean Reisner → Dirty Harry. Dinky Dean got screenplay credit on Dirty Harry but mostly did uncredited rewrites.
    “But then most of his work is uncredited rewrite work, High Planes Drifter, the enforcer, rich man, poor man, Godfather part three.”

Rocky (franchise): 1 line programming ×1

  1. programming (programming): Rocky (franchise) → Dirty Harry. Stallone voices are suggested as a funnier alternative to Eastwood voices.
    “a series of Stallone voices is actually better.”

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre: 1 line theme ×1

  1. theme (1970s genre birth): The Texas Chain Saw Massacre → Dirty Harry. Chainsaw is one of eight 1970s films (Dirty Harry, Deep Throat, Last House, Godfather II, Jaws, Rocky, Star Wars, Superman) that spawned the next 50 years of genres.
    “if you just go those 8 movies, that's kind of what would become the next 50 years of movies.”
