Fat Bastard and Trainspotting are the only accurate portrayals of Scotsmen.

One of the deleted scenes from Braveheart was William Wallace showing up to the Battle of Saratoga in a Toyoata Prius and assisting the Americans to victory.

The peril that emanates from an angry Scots-Irish is certainly not physical. A mere glare and those people cower like beaten dogs. Nor is it intellectual. Most would struggle to stay above the Mendoza Line in the Nebraska public schools and probably only achieve a 50% acceptance rate at the likes of Cornell. They are, quite simply, nothing to fear, much like the the Nebraska football team from, say, 2000 to present.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

The Irish are a benighted lot. Leave them out of it. They have enough hardships. Joyce is just a less verbose Faulkner and Irish Whiskey tastes like cough syrup.
The Scots, however, besides golf, and scotch, and the TV, and the telephone, and penicillin, and a thousand other things are the brave warrior-poet-inventors that saved humankind.Last edited by AlabamAlum; November 17, 2020, 03:23 PM."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

Edward Longshanks brought the game of golf to Scotland and they repaid him with belligerence and impertinence.
He bested the drunken William Wallace in a fist fight, then thrashed him soundly with his own shillelagh.Comment

SUDDEN IMPACT (1983)
d. Clint Eastwood
Starring: Clint Eastwood, Sondra Locke, Paul Drake, Pat Hingle, Albert Popwell
So jumping ahead to what I think is probably the second best Dirty Harry film, Sudden Impact is a revenge flick in which Harry is arguably the secondary character. And he's also taken out of San Francisco for the first (and only) time. Harry gets ordered to go to "San Paulo" (in reality, Santa Cruz, CA) to investigate a murder.
And because it's the 80's...sigh...it revolves around rape. But it's not as sleazy and gross as, say, Death Wish 2,and actually I'm not sure if this movie had any nudity at all. All of the previous 3 did. It turns out a series of murders are actually connected and go back a decade to a college student and her sister being raped by a group of gross goons in this seaside town.
Which brings us to the villains...Mick, the most psychopathic of the rapists, is the series' best villain outside of Scorpio. He's nearly outdone by Ray, the extremely foul-mouthed, drunken, witch of a woman who tricks the two sisters into going to a 'party'. You are rooting for Harry or anyone to get these guys. And oof, Mick gets his pretty good in the end.
Behind the scenes this is the only one of the Harry films directed by Clint himself and starred Sandra Locke, his longtime girlfriend. She starred alongside him in quite a few other films but this was her last major role. By the late 80's, they were extremely estranged and suing each other. Depending on who you believe, Clint got her blacklisted from Hollywood more or less. She died 2 years ago. This was also the last of the films to include Albert Popwell, who played a different character in each of the first 4 films (He plays Horace, Harry's ill-fated partner in this one).
So Overall I don't think any of the sequels match the original, but this is my favorite of the bunch. I think it's helped by Eastwood's direction and a better cast than the other remaining films.

Along with Space Movie 1992, you need to review this:
