There's too much PC in the world now. So no. It's probably not a good idea.

Yes a prequel set in the 1960s..directed by Clint (maybe even a flashfoward cameo from Clint as Old Harry - abit like what they planning with the next Die Hard)

Only if he'd made it a perioid movie set in the 70's where behaviour like this would feel more fitting. Making a Dirty Harry movie set in modern times wouldn't just feel right, despite the movies were always set in the times they were made originally.

Unfortunately I agree...lotsa folks try--look at Tony Denozzo from NCIS. They try to write him as a "politically incorrect, maverick" character but he just comes across as an unlikable azz hole jerk, who you can't wait to bash in the face;compare him to Harry Callahan who just has a low tolerance for scumbags.

Why can't you wretched prey creatures understand that the Universe doesn't owe you anything!?

Terrific idea.
