Dirty Harry (1971)• “I know what you’re thinking. “Did he

fire six shots or only five?” Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you’ve got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?”  watch- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0-oinyjsk0

• According to the 2005 book Small Arms: From the Civil War to the Present Day, the high profile that the film gave the firearm contributed mightily to its popularity. While this did not technically qualify as product placement, it’s hard to imagine that the weapon would have reached the iconic status that it enjoys today without its appearance in the film.
