American 'tough guy' actor Clint Eastwood starred in a series of Hollywood films known as the Dirty Harry series. Beginning in 1971 with a film entitled Dirty Harry, Eastwood played the lead character, Inspector 'Dirty Harry' Callahan of the San Francisco Police Department. There were four sequels in the series - Magnum Force (1973), The Enforcer (1976), Sudden Impact (1983) and The Dead Pool (1988).
In Dirty Harry, Eastwood is seen in character as Dirty Harry eating at the counter of a burger joint. Gunshots alert him to a bank robbery in progress across the street. He takes action to stop the robbers, wounding the first robber on exit from the bank, and killing the others as they attempt to escape. His attention then returns to the wounded man. On reaching him slumped on the steps of the bank, Harry aims his trademark .44 Magnum as the robber attempts to reach for his weapon. But in all the 'excitement' of the shoot out, neither is sure whether all six shots have been fired from the gun. Then comes the slightly misquoted line, "Do you feel lucky, punk?" The criminal thinks better of trying to fight on, and Eastwood retrieves the robber's shotgun. The subsequent click of the revolver's hammer, reveals the Magnum to be out of shots and Eastwood walks away with a smirk that tells his pleasure at having outsmarted his foe.

About the Little Bridges Series...
The Little Bridges series was started by Stanthews in 2009 to highlight small footbridges in remote parts of Wiltshire. Since then the series has been expanded by others all over the country and starting to spread fast.
Damian from Winter Foxes created and updated the stats for the initial list of cachers who had found 10 or more little bridges. This was then taken over and moved to its current wordpress site by Fred (Bloodsock) and finally handed over to Daren (BillieTheCat) for updates and maintenance.
If you would like to add to the series, please contact Stan here and he will give you a number for your bridge, to qualify, the bridge must be a foot bridge too small for vehicles.
Please make sure your title exactly matches “Little Bridges # xx then name” including spaces so it will get picked up and added to the Stats page.
