Everyone loves delivering movie quotes. Clint Eastwood’s most famous line is definitely the one from Dirty Harry. The 1971 film stars Clint as “Dirty” Harry Callaham who is a police inspector assigned to track down psychos.

You’re already thinking of the line, aren’t you? Most people say it as, “Do you feel lucky, punk?” However, that is not completely right! The line actually goes, “You’ve got to ask yourself one question: ‘Do I feel lucky?” Well, do you, punk?’”
