Dirty Harry named Hollywoods greatest badass
Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry has been named the greatest movie badass of all time.
A poll of movie-goers by MTV News found the iconic San Francisco Police Department inspector was film fans top renegade tough-man.
The cop - who has little regard for rules, but who always gets results - beat off "Alien" action hero, Ellen Ripley played by Sigourney Weaver and "Die Hard" badass John McClane played by Bruce Willis.
Speaking about being chosen Eastwood said: "Alright thanks. You made a good choice. Now get out ... I told you to get out. Don't hang around goddamnit!"
I guess it was a good job the reporter didn't ask Clint "Do you feel lucky punk?" before telling him whether he had won.
