Recently a friend of mine who works for Eastwood was telling me of a conversation the two of them had about some of Clint's movies that were in his words, "stinkers". Being a lifelong Eastwood fan, I said I liked them all. But then I remembered "The Rookie"...

I place the blame of the Enforcer on Tyne Daly. When she tells Callahan she runs 100 yard dash in 13 seconds. She couldn't get out of a chair in 13 seconds.
