Sudden Impact

This is 'Clint Eastwood' (qv)'s fourth Dirty Harry movie. In this movie, Harry's in hot water with his superiors when he induces a heart attack on a criminal on whom they have spent a great deal of time building a case, and some criminals are gunning for him. So, to make the streets a little safer, Harry's sent to the seaside town of San Paulo to get some information on a man who was shot in the head and groin. When he gets there, Police Chief Jannings ('Pat Hingle' (qv)) doesn't exactly give him a warm welcome. And not long after his arrival, some of the town's residents are getting killed in the same manner. When Harry tells the Chief his theory that the killer has a connection here, but the Chief just wants him to leave.—<rcs0411@yahoo.com>
