The Dead Pool (1988) - Drive-In Double Feature Episode 369

On this episode of Drive-In Double Feature, Nathan and Ryan take aim at The Dead Pool (1988), the final entry in the Dirty Harry series. Clint Eastwood returns as the grizzled Inspector Callahan, facing off against a killer who’s targeting celebrities from a macabre “dead pool” betting game. With a young Jim Carrey, an early role for Liam Neeson, and even a wild remote-controlled car chase, this film is a strange blend of gritty crime thriller and late-80s weirdness. The hosts explore how it stacks up against the earlier Dirty Harry films and whether Harry’s last shot hits its mark.
