TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

When Clint Eastwood made the comedy Every Which Way but Loose (1978), Burt Reynolds reportedly said to him, "Clint, you're getting into my territory [comedy], and if it's a success, I'm going out and make 'Dirty Harry Goes to Atlanta'!". When Sharky's Machine (1981) went into production, Eastwood sent a telegram to Reynolds saying, "You really weren't kidding, were you?" Reynolds has described this movie as 'Dirty Harry Goes to Atlanta' whilst many reviewers and critics have likened it to the 'Dirty Harry' film series.

William Diehl, the author of the "Sharky's Machine" (1978) source novel, has said that he had Burt Reynolds in mind when he wrote the novel.

After William Diehl's "Sharky's Machine" novel was published, three people sent Burt Reynolds a copy of it. They were Tom Culla, novelist Sidney Sheldon and the author of the book himself, William Diehl.

Burt Reynolds optioned the movie rights to William Diehl's "Sharky's Machine" novel himself.

This was the first major movie for actress Rachel Ward who had previously only worked in television and on one smaller film, Night School (1981).

"Arch: Sharky, I hit his ass. He's got four bullets in him, and the fucker won't go down. Sharky: Uh huh. Maybe he knows more about Zen than you do."
