Gran Torino/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • In Gran Torino (despite the fact that he goes on to use the phrase 'jabbering gooks' he has a heart of gold, really) Walt's line, issued down the barrel of his badass rifle: 'Get off my lawn' is up there with 'Well do ya? Punk?!'
    • Also in Gran Torino, the scene where Walt says: 'Ever notice how you come across somebody once in a while that you shouldn't have fucked with? That's me.'
  • Real Life one: After almost half a century of international stardome, this is the movie that officially made Clint Eastwood, at age 78, the oldest leading man starring in a #1 box office hit. Can we just give the man a round of applauses for his stamina?
  • Walt's final showdown against Spider's gang. Unarmed and facing them with absolutely no fear whatsoever, despite having witnessed first hand what they were capable of. Granted, he was already dying from lung cancer anyway, but the sentiment is still there.
