Yes he is old as the hills now. Yes he has not really been in many movies lately. But I was inspired by this old thread and I for one would like to see it. Just one more time.
Dirty Harry one more time vs. any villian
"GO AHEAD Mr. Eastwood, Make OUR DAY!"
Harry Callahan as an old fart with a big gun sitting on his porch shooting at the criminals.
What a movie it would make.
OK, OK maybe not on his porch, maybe as the old detective asked about that one case that got away.

How is
Walt Kowalski is a widower who holds onto his prejudices despite the changes in his Michigan neighborhood and the world around him. Kowalski is a grumpy, tough-minded, unhappy an old man, who can't get along with either his kids or his neighbors, a Korean War veteran whose prize possession is a 1972 Gran Torino he keeps in mint condition. When his neighbor Thao, a young Hmong teenager under pressure from his gang member cousin, tries to steal his Gran Torino, Kowalski sets out to reform the youth. Drawn against his will into the life of Thao's family, Kowalski is soon taking steps to protect them from the gangs that infest their neighborhood.
a sequel to
For Inspector 'Dirty' Harry Callahan, fame and celebrity status is not his lifestyle, especially when it interferes with his job. But right after putting one of San Francisco's crime bosses in prison, Callahan ends up in the status quo as well as being written in a list for a game called, 'The Dead Pool', where his life is now in the line along with other famous celebrities that are mysteriously dying. Callahan is up against the media attention, an enraged hit man, and a new killer, who's attempting to throw off the dead pool game anyway possible. Callahan has to find the connection between the killings and the perpetrator, before the game can be declared over.

I always thought that Gran Torino would actually have done very well as the final Dirty Harry movie. If you watch it with that "filter" it becomes, imo, a better movie!
