"Go ahead, make my day" is a catchphrase from the 1983 film Sudden Impact, spoken by the character Harry Callahan, played by Clint Eastwood. The iconic line was written by John Milius,[1] whose writing contributions to the film were uncredited, but has also been attributed to Charles B. Pierce, who wrote the film's story,[2] and to Joseph Stinson, who wrote the screenplay.[3] In 2005, it was chosen as No. 6 on the American Film Institute list AFI's 100 Years...100 Movie Quotes.[4]
