Dirty Harry (film series) avenge herself and her catatonic sister by killing the people who sexually assaulted them. The film is notable for Callahan's catchphrase, "Go ahead, make my day". "The Dead Pool" (1988) was directed by Buddy Van Horn. Harry finds that he is among the subjects of a dead pool, a game betting on deaths of celebrities. Someone tries to rig the game by killing the celebrities on one player's list. After this film, Eastwood retired from playing the "Dirty Harry" character, as he felt his age (58 in 1988) would make Harry a parody. Frank Miller, creator of the "Sin City"
