Surprised that after 17 posts nobody explained that Inspector Harry Callahan is known as "Dirty Harry" because he gets assigned to the jobs that nobody else will take. This is explained clearly by his immediate superior in one of the early films (but don't ask me which one).

Top class post. Well done, I've bookmarked it for reading again.
Memory refreshed. I quote from the post.
"Now you know why they call me Dirty Harry: every dirty job that comes along."
Thanks for repeating post 16!

Oops. Missed that one amongst the dross.
Thank you again for your informed and relevant posts.
Because "Fluffy Harry" didn't do well at the box office?
