    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Clint's son Scott Eastwood appeared in this movie as Trey. He is credited under his birth name, Scott Reeves. Scott wasn't really publicly acknowledged until 2006 - hence, the name.
    • Goofs
      Walt says he used the M1 Garand rifle in Korea. U.S. Military personnel are usually not allowed to keep their service weapons. However, some rifles, identified by serial number, were available for purchase through the Civilian Marksmanship Program after they were deemed obsolete or unfit for service. Enlisted and commissioned personnel also frequently "liberated" their weapons.
    • Quotes

      Duke: What you lookin' at, old man?

      Walt Kowalski: Ever notice how you come across somebody once in a while you shouldn't have fucked with? That's me.

    • Crazy credits
      The credits scroll over a highway overlooking the lake shore, with the Warner Logo appearing in black and white.

    An absolute cinematic gem!
    As Clint Eastwood reaches the end of his life, he presents us with yet another performance which is nothing short of legendary. Wishing to preserve the element of surprise, I will not reveal anything by trying to analyse this great work of art.

    I will say this. There are similar qualities to his previous work, but I would say that both his directing and acting have reached a level of maturity comparable to that of an excellent wine. The story was compelling and, mixed with the drama was a refined touch of humour; the perfect combination for a pleasant evening.

    I would like to finish by thanking Mr. Eastwood for sharing this touching moment with his audience at a time when most of the cinematic "art" produced in Hollywood consists of stunts and bad jokes.
