Talk:Go ahead, make my day

"Punk"?

Before watching the movie, I'd heard the phrase included the word punk it, as in "Go ahead, punk, make my day".

I think that's just because people got it mixed up with "Do you feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?" I don't remember "punk" being used at all in this interchange. -- Fan-1967 05:49, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The whole interchange in that other famous quote is something like: “I know what you’re thinking. Did he fire five shots, or six? In all this commotion, I really can’t remember. 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; "do I feel lucky?" .. Well, do ya, punk?!” 67.5.157.61 21:56, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, that quote is from the original Dirty Harry movie; it's commonly misattributed to this film, though. The actual quote in question is just "Go ahead...make my day..." — Cinemaniac (talk • contribs) 02:25, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speaking of the original, how come this line has a page and the 44. Magnum bit doesn't?. Zero no Kamen (talk) 14:52, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No mention of Reagan's usage of the phrase?

President Ronald Reagan made this line as famous as it is by telling Congress "Go ahead, make my day" when they threatened to raise taxes. Shouldn't this be included?PokeHomsar (talk) 05:01, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think it should be included; it was also a part of Reagan's general foreign policy with the Soviets and with the trade unions when they had many airline pilots go on strike to try and get higher wages. After the most of the union members refused to return to their duties after repeated orders to do so from Reagan he had them fired and used military replacements; it was one of the most crushing defeats that the trade unions have ever suffered. So I think it should be added on, with a referenceInvmog (talk) 17:58, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No mention of the T.G. Shepard song

I'm looking at the article and don't see anything regarding the song "Go Ahead, Make My Day", which featured spoken dialog by Clint Eastwood in character. Sarujo (talk) 23:15, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Original quote from the movie 'Vice Squad' (1982)

I think it might be worth mentioning that there is a possibility that Chuck Pierce "borrowed", to put it nicely, this catch phrase from the movie 'Vice Squad', which came out a year earlier. In any event, whether or not he came up with it independently, I think there should be an attribution of this phrase to that movie. I believe the original quote from the movie was "Go ahead, asshole....make a move....make my day!!", spoken by the protagonist of the movie, detetctive Tom Walsh (played by Gary Swanson) to the "villain", a sadistic pimp named 'Ramrod', played by Wings Hauser.

IMDb gives the line as Tom Walsh: "Make your move, and make my day!" --Naaman Brown (talk) 23:35, 8 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sir Christopher Frayling

I was about to add a comment about his knighthood motto and when I googled the phrase to check authenticity I found his wikipedia page already stated his motto. Does a reference belong in the article? Lord loss210 (talk) 22:06, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
