Definitely check this movie out too as Champ says Clint is awesome.
I almost lost it completely when he went up to the black guys and said something like "what you looking at you spooks". I don't know why but it was just really funny.

He must have made at least 25 gook comments to the Koreans in that movie lol. I'm not going into detail incase anyone is planning to see it but he had absolutely no shame saying exactly what was on his mind

I watched it a week or so ago. I had no idea what it was about, but I'm glad I watched it. It was hilarious! I just laughed all the way through it.

I wasn't expecting this little neighborhood movie. For some reason I was expecting locations all over the country and more action. It took me by surprise that most of the movie took place in his front yard.
The best was when the cousins were bothering the Koreans next door and they started fuckin with the kid on the chaos spilled onto Eastwood's property and he made them leave by holding a gun to them. The next day they're bringing him food and tell him they were doing it because he saved them and his response was, "I didn't save anyone I was just trying to get a bunch of yabbering gooks off my lawn."

I loved the character. He was just a grizzled old bastard but I found myself in total agreement with him.
I thought the funniest line actually went to Toad. When they went to the barbars and he was trying to talk the talk. After his first attempt where he was chased out the shop with a shotgun, he comes back and tries it again and says all the correct and respectful things. Then after the barbar and Eastwood look at each other in approvement he continues, "So, how about it then ya big Italian bastard?!"

That was good because he came in acting all racist and then Eastwood told him he was so wrong and disrespectful for that after he was just telling him to man up. Then he comes in. Hello, may I have a haircut please? You dumb ginny fuck

I saw this last night. Myself and Mrs. Naitch loved it. She cried at the end. But like you guys I laughed a lot through it.

It was definitely a very dark comedy as well as a drama. It was such a serious interesting plot but you couldn't help to laugh at the shit that poured out of Eastwood's mouth

I kind of wish I hadn't seen that many movies before this because the ending was blatantly obvious. Except the part where he didn't have a gun before the gooks shot him up.

I didn't consider the end at all. I think because there was so much comedy in it I was able to just let it play out without taking it too seriously. Maybe the comedy was actually there for that reason.

The ending was definitely predictable. I knew somehow he was going to die as a result of those yabbering gooks. But the one cool thing about it, like Naitch said about he not having a gun, is he knew he was dying already and didn't tell anyone. So he sacrificed himself to get those dudes arrested. Therefore, his neighbors would be safe, Eastwood was making up for his past killings in the war, and the kid wouldn't have to go through life feeling the same way by reacting with violence. So he basically saved that family in every conceivable possible way, which made the majority of predictability somewhat rewarding.
