Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT From gunslinging one-liners to angry cop retorts, Clint Eastwood’s characters have plenty of memorable quotes that are still iconic decades later. Eastwood is a seasoned Hollywood legend with dozens of classic films under his belt, both as a leading man and as a sharp-eyed director.
23 "A Good Man Always Knows His Limitations" Harry Callahan came back with a vengeance – and a new batch of one-liners – when he returned in his first sequel, Magnum Force. Harry was first introduced as a cop who would stop at nothing to take down the bad guy, but in Magnum Force, he says, “A good man always knows his limitations.”
20 "With All Due Respect, Sir, You're Beginning To Bore The Hell Out Of Me" In Heartbreak Ridge, Eastwood plays a maverick U.S. Marine near retirement who’s tasked with getting a platoon of undisciplined Marines ready for the invasion of Grenada. The great irony of this character is that, while he wants his underlings to respect his leadership, he has very little respect for his own superiors .
17 "We All Have It Coming, Kid" One of the many complex themes that Unforgiven deals with is the relentlessness and inevitability of death. The movie is all about the morality of killing and whether or not a killing can be justified. As William Munny points out, however it happens, death is coming for everyone. 16 "If You Want A Guarantee, Buy A Toaster" With Eastwood playing an aging tough-as-nails cop, The Rookie is widely regarded to be an unofficial Dirty Harry movie.
13 "Dying Ain't Much Of A Living, Boy" When a bounty hunter tries to bring in Eastwood’s titular outlaw in The Outlaw Josey Wales, he tells Wales that “a man’s got to do something for a living.” Knowing that the bounty hunter doesn’t stand a chance against him, Wales morbidly jokes, “Dying ain’t much of a living, boy.”
9 "Get Off My Lawn" Walt from Gran Torino encapsulates the gruff, grumpy demeanor of Eastwood’s late-career roles. Walt’s disdain for the crime in his neighborhood and general indifference to other people are summed up in the oft-quoted line, “Get off my lawn.” In four words, audiences know everything they need to know about the character.
