If you look closely; the Honda 450 "Silver Wing" police motorcycle Eastwood jumps on suddenly, mysteriously becomes a Triumph 750 "Bonneville". All decked out to look like an SPD bike. Also, sans electric starter, as it takes him several kicks to start it (tickle the carbs, Clint!) This is probably because he did his own stunts for years, until back problems forced him to stop, and refuses to ride |

Plot
The plot section needs a complete rewrite. Whoever wrote it has no idea how to write in a formal tone. --One Salient Oversight 14:28, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
Weapon
Dirty Harry had a Smith & Wesson Model 29 which is a .44 MAGMUM not a .357.
- Previous poster: Where in this article does it ever say Harry Callahan had a 357 Magnum? Notice the spelling of Magnum, with an "n". Also, the Model 29 is not a 44 Magnum but the designation of a revolver CHAMBERED FOR the 44 Magnum cartridge. The actual bore diameter is .429 cal. It can also accept and fire a 44 Special or a 44 Russian cartridge as both are .429 cal.
- Accepted format for caliber designation is .44 cal, but not .44 Magnum. The 44 Magnum is a particular cartridge.
- Incidentally, the gun in the opening of this movie is a S & W Model 57 chambered for the 41 Magnum cartridge. I own a Model 29 - the bore is somewhat larger than the one shown.

Honda into Triumph?
If you look closely; the Honda 450 "Silver Wing" police motorcycle Eastwood jumps on suddenly, mysteriously becomes a Triumph 750 "Bonneville". All decked out to look like an SPD bike. Also, sans electric starter, as it takes him several kicks to start it (tickle the carbs, Clint!) This is probably because he did his own stunts for years, until back problems forced him to stop, and refuses to ride Japanese bikes.
David Soul's Death?
This is also a little non-sequitur. The police bike goes into the bay; David Soul is obviously OK, as he is flapping his arms.He falls only a few feet on his rear. Yet, suddenly, he is floating. They should have shown him getting a pants leg caught or striking this neck, and then drowning. Something Believable.
