I think that if I ever met Clint Eastwood and he yells at me, I will shit and cum in my pants at the same time.

Just got back from watching the movie.

Fucking awesome coming-of-age story with Clint Eastwood spouting out awesome and racially-charged lines. Possibly my film of the year.

Arbys Roast Beef Sandwich · « **Reply #18 on:** December 30, 2008, 04:02:39 PM »

Also Eastwood gets called a "dumb Polack" no less than three times in the film so it's pretty much Borys-approved

xnikki118x · « **Reply #19 on:** December 31, 2008, 04:40:25 AM »

He calls some kid a "zipperhead" at some point. I looked at Ecro and was like "I don't even know what that is" haha.

Is "Zipperhead" really a racial epithet?

demi · « **Reply #26 on:** January 12, 2009, 11:35:58 AM »

Zipperhead isnt a commonly used one, but everyone should know about it... disappointed in you all

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #27 on:** January 12, 2009, 11:54:04 AM »

I think Walt Kowalski is one of the best characters Clint has ever developed, even if he seems like a more cynical, Polish version of Harry Callahan. I really love the movie - thought it was thoroughly entertaining and a lot of great themes and performances. I'm glad to hear it made bank at the box office this weekend and if this is indeed Clint Eastwood's final performance in front of the camera, than it is a fitting swan song to one of the more iconic actors of all-time.

When he said Zipperhead do it remind you of my post? Did it send disturbing images of Koreans with squished heads into your brain?

Yeah it kinda did hahaha.

You missed the best part of that whole scene, Darunia - when he calls the three asian kids, "Click Clack, Ding Dong and Charlie Chan!"

A zipperhead is a derogatory term used in reference to people of Asian(mostly Korean) descent. It was coined during the Korean war by troops whom had run over enemy troops in jeeps. The soldiers claimed that the tire tracks from the jeeps left a pattern resembling that of a closed zipper along the corpse.

The alternative meaning is from the same era but regarding Koreans getting shot in the head with high-powered weapons, their heads would split as if you unzipped them.

There was no singing in this movie. Some of my friends for some stupid reason assume that this movie is about Clint going from racist to non-racist no matter how much I try to explain it to them.
