Things I Hate: Mick (Dirty Harry Series)

Paul Drake as Mick in Sudden Impact Dirty Harry Series

Mick is one of the lamer bad guys in the Dirty Harry series. He’s a pretty evil dude, but not the cool kind of evil like Scorpio was. He’s just an absolute trash human being. He’s not a super serial killer that must be stopped, but a horrid individual who slow-burns society into a worse place. And he’s the main villain of Sudden Impact.

Him and his gang have done a lot of bad things, including forcing themselves on Jennifer Spencer without her consent. I don’t remember much about him in the movie since I last saw it, but what I remember most is him capturing Jennifer Spencer again at the dark, abandoned carnival.

And while he was shot during his deadly fall, he may have still been alive when he was impaled on a merry-go-round. Not much is more hilariously sad than losing your life to a carousel.
