The link between Eastwood and the generation of Hollywood veterans is made explicit in Sudden Impact, the sequel that he directed of his popular Dirty Harry character. The plot revolves around a series of gruesome homicides (referred to by one detective as a ".38 caliber vasectomy") in a film which is perhaps best remembered for Eastwood’s signature line, "Go ahead, make my day."
