After watching the film, I saw a very distinct act of psychological brutality occur. Inspector Callahan was having lunch at a hamburger and hot dog joint downtown when he noticed a brown Ford parked outside the bank just across the street with the engine still running. After giving specific instructions to the co-owner of the hot dog to call the police department and inform them that a robbery is in progress, the bank's sirens begin to sound. Immediately, Inspector Callahan exits the restaurant, pulls out his .44 magnum and begins walking towards the bank when he sees an African American male in a purple shirt holding a rifle and trying to escape into the brown ford parked next to the street. Callahan confronts the individual, the suspect shoots shortly before being shot in the shoulder by Inspector Harry Callahan. Almost immediately the brown getaway car starts racing in Harry's direction trying to escape, but they are stopped short by Harry's gun. Inspector Callahan begins casually approaching the downed suspect in the purple shirt. Callahan approaches him directly and informs the suspect that he couldn't remember whether he had fired 5 or 6 bullets so far, then points the .44 magnum at the suspect's head at point-blank range and asks, "Feeling lucky?" ?” Callahan begins to walk away and the bank robber tells him
