This came out when I was 10 .. a much different and very cherished time. Me and my high school buds used to watch this over and over laughing our a##'s off with all the lines. Some great memories from a cool flick. RIP Sondra ...
At 1:50-"Fuck me!", at the end the cop said "Captain, he should've surrendered", to which the Captain replied while lighting up "Yep". This scene KICKED MAJOR ASS!
Scenes like this have a significant influence on me as a filmmaker. In my web series, I use as many practical gun effects as possible, I film my shootouts the old school way, and I even use all the same sound effects heard in this scene and many others from this era of action cinema.
There isn't no way in hell he doesn't get hit by any of that. And the part where he comes out the other end and tells her something they almost turned me to swiss cheese or something like that.
Always liked this movie....but those guys went to the "Star Wars Imperial Storm Trooper school of shooting". They couldn't hit any body with all that lead? LOL
Misfire my pink ass. The Gauntlet grossed $35 million, making it the 14th highest grossing film of 1977, and it's sold a lot of DVDs since. The public loves it and so do quite a few critics. Roger Ebert gave it three stars and called it "...classic Clint Eastwood: fast, furious, and funny". David Ansen of Newsweek wrote, "You don't believe a minute of it, but at the end of the quest, it's hard not to chuckle and cheer". It has a score of 83% at Rotten Tomatoes and 6.3 at IMDB.
Back in the 90s this films was on broadcast television all the time.I believe t was NBC what seemed like every three months. So it must have gotten good ratings.

I remember the SLA got this kind of treatment in LA, their house went up in flames, cops were looking for Patty Hurst, not sure it might have been on live TV in LA
I saw this at the theater when it came out. Had mixed feelings. Some scenes were better than others but it's like damn Clint, how do you NOT know this is a setup? He didn't want to make another Dirty Harry movie at that time which I think was a mistake. Anyway, the Gauntlet was okay but not tops.
After Eastwood played Harry Callahan, he need not have tried to be Ben Shockley or anyone else. He typecast himself with Dirty Harry. Any time he's on-screen with a gun and a badge, that's who people see.
No they drilled the holes in the house and only shot blanks, and they wrapped a cable around the inside the house to collapse it. My dipshit uncle was one of the (real) cops on this set.
+scottystiffchicken oh and another thing....if they shoot blanks how you explain we see parts of house broke down like tv cable vazes and the sudden hole openings of the house????
+gunner6084 I talked to my older brother and he said they backed up semi trailers to the opposing corners and used live ammo but today I talked to my boss who grew up within a mile of this house and he said there were NO trailers, live ammo yes except when the firing was in any way towards the camera. I knew only where they filmed this growing up because it was on the way to my aunt and uncles house and now I actually work in this area. It was referred to as "the sand dunes " but soon after this movie, a one square mile block was dozed and now it's ten blocks by ten blocks of large lot homes and we now call it the barrio. haha
He was vain and wouldn't wear glasses. She sure took him to the cleaners, but he could afford it. Errol Flynn spent some twenty years regretting (and paying hugely for) his first marriage, but he couldn't stop getting married, nevertheless.
@@TechTVusa It was a spin-off from the "Dirty Harry" franchise which should have ended early on had the producers been able to resist milking every dollar and nickle and dime out of it. This picture is for an audience of knuckle-draggers. As H.L. Mencken said (roughly, and in short): ' nobody ever got poor by underestimating the intelligence of the [American] masses'. All that aside, the efforts of the production-team who set up the spectacular shoot-em-up set-pieces deserve a salute.
@@None-zc5vg If The Gauntlet was a Dirty Harry movie his name would be Harold Francis Callahan not Ben Shockley. He would also be a different cop in a different city. Bronco Bill is not a Dirty Harry movie either.
@@None-zc5vg You are incorrect. Eastwood did Every Which Way But Loose, Escape From Alcatraz, Thunderbolt And Lightfoot, Heartbreak Ridge, Pale Rider and the list goes on. High Plains Drifter is my favorite.
An entertaining misfire on Clint's part. Makes me wonder why he did this movie, though. I thought the role of "Ben Shockley" would have been more suitable for the likes of people like Joe Don Baker
Worst Eastwood movie ever, Not to mention those hundreds of guns were shooting at each other across both sides of the street. Don't worry about stray bullets they are actually across from each other shooting at one another.
This has got to be one of the dumbest, most unbelievable scenes ever from any movie. It's obvious this was an early directing effort on Eastwood's part. I can't imagine him agreeing to direct such an asinine sequence in his more recent films.
The entire point of the movie is taking the piss on trigger happy and corrupt cops. And it's not some fairy tale either - what you saw here was basically committed by the feds in Waco and Ruby Ridge, almost 20 years after the movie was filmed.
They shot that house to hell. Talk about overkill. It actually collapses. One of my favorite scenes next to the incredible ending.
I love the sound effects especially when all the guns are being cocked and ready😂
Very underrated movie. One of Eastwoods bests!
This is my favorite scene in my favorite Clint Eastwood movie.

Thumbs up if you love this part in Clint Eastwood’s “The Gauntlet”!!
Nah, i like part of Harley vs Helicopter
Clint was busy throughout the 70s even making fun shlock like this.
At 1:50-"Fuck me!", at the end the cop said "Captain, he should've surrendered", to which the Captain replied while lighting up "Yep". This scene KICKED MAJOR ASS!
Clint Is my absolute fucking favorite director and actor of all time. I watched dirty harry at age 10 and suddenly hit puberty.
We specialise in house demolition. Fast friendly service guaranteed 😂😂

This movie is badass.
Dirty harry badass
Great scene from an awesome fun movie.
Not his best but loved it either way.
Loved those 70's sound effects. Shotguns sounds like a howitzer!
Clint comes out of it without a scratch.
Hollywood for ya!
There isn't no way in hell he doesn't get hit by any of that. And the part where he comes out the other end and tells her something they almost turned me to swiss cheese or something like that.
4:35 *that house will NEED HIM!!*
Just another fun day at the range
Damn this movie was good.
Not really, but entertaining as hell
Throughout this whole movie... Eastwood fired only two shots...one in this scene...the other scene with the bikers!
Well, no one ever accused cops of being smart
@GHQ Recon Oh, we found the triggered cop sucker over here. Ahahahaha...
And you either!
@@tombellows4167 aww, did the widdle bootlicker get their feelings hurt?
LOL this has the most gratuitous use of the "gun cocking" sound effect when the cops are outside the house
Its up there with the Blues Brothers.
God makes house calls.
I highly doubt he made that particular house call.
@@joel8583 😄
Every house has a big assed Culvert under these days
And they had just re-modeled😂!!
Not Clint's best film, but worth watching.
Always liked this movie....but those guys went to the "Star Wars Imperial Storm Trooper school of shooting". They couldn't hit any body with all that lead? LOL
QUE TODAS LAS PELICULAS DE CLEEN , LAS PASEN EN IDIOMA CASTELLANO. GRACIAS
Looks like deer hunting in Oklahoma. ;)
Nevada. I highly doubt deer hunting is allowed there.
Can anyone say, "overkill"...They must've got off 1000 rounds
In the first 30 seconds
Well, that house demolition was original....
The majority of the cops in the front were in the line of fire. That's a no no and they teach you that in the Academy.
Well, they sure used up a lot of ammo there.
Those dudes mean business!
People never close the trap door behind them. not that it mattered

TJ Pierce ..yeah I got 1 DVD myself.
I remember the SLA got this kind of treatment in LA, their house went up in flames, cops were looking for Patty Hurst, not sure it might have been on live TV in LA
Yes it was televised live on t.v. I have the coverage on dvd.
Live from LA. Coast to coast saw the newyork city feed
Ammo shortage!??😁😎
totally implausible.
Who the hell did this girl piss off the Kennedys?
Not the Kennedy's... The Clintons.
DAMN!!!!!!!2024
What the? Thanks for showing your warrant first.

I wonder where on location that scene was filmed.. was it near Phoenix?
After Eastwood played Harry Callahan, he need not have tried to be Ben Shockley or anyone else.
He typecast himself with Dirty Harry. Any time he's on-screen with a gun and a badge, that's who people see.
Agree. Very true.
First time I ever heard Clint Eastwood use the F word!
anyone know how they filmed this scene? I mean were they using live ammo or blanks?
No they drilled the holes in the house and only shot blanks, and they wrapped a cable around the inside the house to collapse it. My dipshit uncle was one of the (real) cops on this set.
+scottystiffchicken so how about the bullet impact sounds? do you figure out how?
+scottystiffchicken oh and another thing....if they shoot blanks how you explain we see parts of house broke down like tv cable vazes and the sudden hole openings of the house????

O_o
Yup!
where's the bus scene storming city hall?
where is the whole movie please!
clint is the best and this is one of his best .upload the movie .
howitzer shotgun
Only in this movie do the cops actually kill a house.
No, Janet Reno. Remember Waco!!
Cap..the shoulda surrendered. hahahahhahahahahahahaaaa!
back in them dayz they didnt use swat if the y said the y coming in, tye ycoming was nt no swat
I Dedicate this to Seaman Reynolds
Wasn't Sandra Locke Clint's girlfriend for a while? And didn't they have a rather nasty falling-out?
They should have used more ammo
Its like the police feared for their lives.
A bogus story made them do that.
Eastwood made a speech about how he had learned to respect cops and then made a film that made the Phoenix PD. And Vegas Metro look like idiots.
hIJOLE : Que Papas ¨¨
What did he ever see in her?
Her body lower half
He was vain and wouldn't wear glasses. She sure took him to the cleaners, but he could afford it. Errol Flynn spent some twenty years regretting (and paying hugely for) his first marriage, but he couldn't stop getting married, nevertheless.
Air Worst.
This is the weakest of all the "Dirty Harry" pictures in that the plot is so incredible.
It is not a Dirty Harry Movie. Clint is Ben Shockley in this movie.

Gee Whiz Imagine Clint playing a cop in a shoot up movie? Are you serious?? Ha Ha.
Why did he do it? Becasue he got to direct it. That's why.
In real life, police are not as stupid to waste so much ammo.
Yes they are... bluelivesmatter.blue/bear-de-burgon-sealy-killed/
you're not from LA, are you?
They do if your black!
