Sudden Impact is a 1983 American crime thriller and the fourth film in the Dirty Harry series, directed by and starring Clint Eastwood (making it the only Dirty Harry film to be directed by Eastwood himself). The film is probably best remembered for Harry's catchphrase, "Go ahead, make my day", often incorrectly attributed to the original film in the series.
Artist Jennifer Spencer and her sister were raped by a group of young men 10 years ago, after being betrayed by a female friend, Ray Parkins. The brutal rape left the sister permanently catatonic. Spencer seeks revenge, and begins by killing George Wilburn with two shots from a .38 snubnosed revolver, one in the groin. She leaves San Francisco for the town of San Paulo because of the police investigation, and begins restoring its boardwalk's historic carousel near the beach where the rapes occurred. Meanwhile, San Francisco Police Department Homicide Inspector Harry Callahan is frustrated when a judge yet again dismisses a case due to unreasonable search and seizure. At his favorite diner, the inspector interrupts a robbery and kills most of the criminals. When the surviving robber takes a hostage, Callahan challenges him to "Go ahead, make my day"; the criminal surrenders.
Plot
A vicious serial-killer is on the loose in San Francisco and the police trace a link to a small town further down the coast. When Harry Callahan upsets the press and the mayor in his usual style, he's shipped out of town to investigate while the heat is on. With the help of his new Magnum handgun Harry goes on the trail leaving behind the usual trail of dead criminals along the way.

Two killers are at large. One of them is Dirty Harry. [Video]
Dirty Harry is at it again.
Harry Callahan: Listen, punk. To me you're nothin' but dogshit, you understand? And a lot of things can happen to dogshit. It can be scraped up with a shovel off the ground. It can dry up and blow away in the wind. Or it can be stepped on and squashed. So take my advice and be careful where the dog shits ya!
[Horace King Fires two shotgun blasts a the target]::Harry Callahan: Not bad.::Horace King: Not bad, my ass! You've got to strain the remains for the fingerprints.::Harry Callahan: Well, this is the .44 Magnum Auto-Mag and it hold a 300-grain cartridge. And, if properly used, it can remove the fingerprints.
Mick: [screaming] Get her! Get the BITCH!
Crook: [during a diner robbery] What's you doing, you pighead sucka?::Harry Callahan: Every day for the past ten years, Loretta there's been giving me a large black coffee, today she gives me a large black coffee only it has sugar in it, a lotta sugar. I just came back to complain. Now, you boys put those guns down.::Crook: Say what?::Harry Callahan: Well, we're not just gonna let you walk out of here.::Crook: Who'se we sucka?::Harry Callahan: [slowly drawing his .44 Magnum] Smith and Wesson... and me.
D'Ambrosia: When are you gonna learn, Harry? Sixth sense doesn't count any more. You can't bust suspects because you *think* they're dirty. *Psychic* don't *cut it*!
Lt. Donnelly: Harry, these bastards are not a bunch of junkies. In their minds you killed Threlkis, same as if you pulled the trigger. They're not gonna stop, they're gonna keep comin' after you.::Harry Callahan: Good, that way we'll know where they are.::Lt. Donnelly: You're incredible Callahan!
Horace King: So I heard you got a forced vacation.::Harry Callahan: [takes his magnum gun out] Uh-huh.::Horace King: You still use the Magnum .44?::Harry Callahan: Pretty powerful. You want see?::Horace King: Sure.::Harry Callahan: [shoots a tree stump and some metal. Tons of wood splinters go all over the place in the bullets make shattering circles in the metal!]::Horace King: Look, you got start being careful. I think you really should go on vacation.::Harry Callahan: Forget it. I never take a vacation.::Horace King: Well either that or quit.::Harry Callahan: That's good idea right there. I really should quit. Then I can handle the law my own way.::Horace King: Yeah, but then you'll be a JAMF.::Harry Callahan: Uh huh. And what is a JAMF?::Horace King: Jive ass mother...::Harry Callahan: [cutting off just in time] Forget I asked.
Hawkins: I'll show you how good dog shit is now, Callahan!
Lt. Donnelly: So this is your idea of rest and relaxation? Peace and quiet?::Harry Callahan: [exasperated] Look, am I on the job or not?::Lt. Donnelly: Yes, you are.::Harry Callahan: Good. Then I'll get on it.::Lt. Donnelly: It's not what you think. Remember that cock-shot stiff up near the cliff house?::Harry Callahan: Yeah.::Lt. Donnelly: He's been in the city for a few years now. Mostly clean, but definitely out in the shade. He seems strictly small-time. But maybe he just didn't get caught.::Harry Callahan: What's your point?::Lt. Donnelly: He came from San Paolo, born and raised. I want you to get down there and find out whatever you can.::Harry Callahan: What is THIS bullshit?::Lt. Donnelly: It's a murder case, Harry! Look, you wanna work, then work! You got you assignment, get on it!::Lt. Donnelly: [as Harry is leaving] Take all the time you need. You don't have to hurry back!
Senior Man: Best dang bus ride since I got put in that damn home.
Listening to a metal music prank
That leads straight to the bank
Each grunt and groan took literally
Some tired old rock stars fantasy
Suburbia is such a drag
Bargain nightmares in a bag
Newspapers sell disaster and sin
And when the dustorm comes
They say the Devil rides in
Party down eat your friend
B movie stories never end
Rock the house shoot your mum
Cheap thrills wrapped up in bubblegum
Get down burn the cat
The hardcore life is where its at
Loveboat sub attack
Beware of Sudden impact
Burnt out case from the neighborhood
Converge one night deep in the wood
The bat from hell arrived that night
To make that picnic outtasite!
Satanic rights to a tune they knew well
To make the party rock like hell
Hold tight the ride begins
Macho men with pimply skin
Come fly with me
Talk to the trees
The duststorm dosen`t always please
Thats the gamble inside your head
Lets play something else instead
Hide and seek for a shock
I can see right through that rock
Bang your dead the shit is real
Someones scored a bum deal
Teenage shrinks are all confused
At the spread of drug abuse
Meanwhile down at the games arcade
The latest candies are displayed
Guess what our kids got really cheap
The stuff that puts the elephants to sleep
Not paradise but blown to hell
Scarred inside
No cure in sight
Verbal strife
Cuts like a knife
Before I slip
Please come and arrest me
So many times
I've resorted to hostility
What's with me
When I feel the heat
I look back at a time
Filled with innocence
The memories
And all that it meant
It's been destroyed
Self control's what I need
The mind is restless
Turbulent-obstinate
To subdue is like
Controlling the wind
So much invested
Thrown away
Now our words pay
My tongue is weak
Speaking up
And against me
It's saying things
That I know that
I should never say
It's made me weak
I need some time to think
Just turn your back
And forget me
In all due time
It will come to
Surpass me
Hard like a fist
The words are received
Your tongue can be
Your worst enemy
With it's own mind
It can run so free
Without much thought
It can bring you down
With foot in mouth
Brought right to the ground
IT comes back
Time and time again
Our words are hostile
Whirling in the wind
Our composure
Is what we need
Strongest, Metal force to rise up from the north,
We are standing tall.
Sudden impact strikes, our time has come, our time is
now.
It was forged in steel, before it you will crawl and
you will kneel, the hammer shakes the earth, defy and
you will die.
You can run but you can't hide, it cannot be denied.
Commanding hellish voice, controlled mayhemic noise,
we're running wild, obedient masses trash, mangeled and
abused.
Axes screaming loud, crazed, chaotic crowd , full force
attack, electric ritual, it's Metal genocide.
You can run but you can't hide, it cannot be denied.
RAM unleashed, electric, armoured, ferocious beast
RAM unleashed, gigantic, destructive, sonic fist.
Heavy Metal lords delivering power chords you can't
scape.
It has just begun, stand back or get rammed.
No force can stop the RAM,
No God, no beast or man, not anything.
On your knees and pray, that you will be save.
You can run but you can't hide, it cannot be denied
RAM unleashed, electric, armoured, ferocious beast
RAM unleashed, gigantic, destructive, sonic fist.
Strongest Metal force to rise up from the north,We are
standing tall.
Sudden impact strikes, our time has come, our time is
now.
It was forged in steel, before it you will crawl and
you will kneel, the hammer shakes the earth, defy and
you will die.
You can run but you can't hide, it cannot be denied.
RAM unleashed, electric, armoured, ferocious beast
RAM unleashed, gigantic, destructive, sonic fist.
All you slaves and kakes admit defeat, just stand back
Battles of death are upon us
Burning at a constant pace
Destruction of time is awaited
The end of a civilized place
Can mankind afford this?
The heat and the suffering minds
Equipped for Sudden Impact
But never for one of this kind
Heat burns to kill
The Night is black and still
Look to the sky
Don't ask why
Nations must wait in fear
The ending of time is so near
Your future and your destination
Is shot, the battles are here
Can the masters rebuild it?
The blackened waste left behind
Equipped for Sudden Impact
But never for one of this kind
Heat burns to kill
The Night is black and still
Look to the sky
Don't ask why
(SOLO)
Can mankind afford this?
The heat and the suffering minds
Equipped for Sudden Impact
But never for one of this kind
Crushing of earth, Satan's rebirth
Burning us all to the ground
As I climb from the depths of my shelter
I look with a feeling of hate
This world has turned to a wasteland
Nothing left to replace
Man has made and destroyed it
The ending of life and time
Crushed by Sudden Impact
The omen, the final sign
Heat burns to kill
The Night is black and still
Look to the sky
Don't ask why
SUDDEN IMPACT
