3. Clint Eastwood (Harry Callahan in Dirty Harry)


When the first Dirty Harry movie was released, Harry Callahan became new template for an unusual type of cop in movie; someone who doesn’t hesitate to cross ethical and professional boundaries to uphold or pursue his own version of justice.

All Dirty Harry films involve killing criminal and Harry uses a rationale that such conduct is needed to protect innocent people. Unfortunately, unorthodox methods he uses are often opposed by his superiors.
