What makes that a great line is that it conveys so much in the context of the scene. (And that I can relate to it has nothing to do with it!)

Dirty Harry: I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

Johnny Tyler: Is something on your mind?
Wyatt Earp: Just want to let you know you're sittin' in my chair.
Johnny Tyler: Is that a fact ?
Wyatt Earp: Yeah, it's a fact.
Johnny Tyler: Well, for a man who don't go heeled you run your mouth kinda reckless, don't you ?
Wyatt Earp: No need to go heeled to get the bulge on a tub like you.
Johnny Tyler: Is that a fact ?
Wyatt Earp: Mm-hmm. That's a fact.

Johnny Tyler: Well, I'm real scared.

Out of context it doesn't sound like much...but in the beginning of Samuel Fuller's The Steel Helmet, "Sgt. Zack" (Gene Evans) is having a conversation with a Lieutenant (who has considerably less combat experience than he does) about how they're going to go about getting their patrol back to safety. The Lieutenant explains his strategy. Sgt. Zack counters with his. The Lieutenant asks Zack to justify himself and the latter retorts,
"Look. I just want to come out of this thing, ok?"
It becomes Sgt. Zack's refrain for the rest of the movie. Here in type, it looks a little weak. But when Gene Evans delivers it...it's the ultimate tough guy line.

^^Yeah, the Steel Helmet is quite a good film, and features something unique for a war moive of that time: an integrated squad. Probably the best film that Lippert ever produced...

Sam Fuller was definitely not afraid to confront race in his movies. Compare the way he utilizes African American characters in movies like "The Steel Helmet" (1951) and China Gate (starring Nat "King" Cole) with other films shot in the same era (or even later). Definitely ahead of his time.Originally Posted by Widebrim
