| - Clint Eastwood is the name used by Marty McFly in Back to the Future Part III (1990), which parodies a western, though the other characters do not find it intimidating ("What kind of stupid name is that???"). Marty also used a piece of metal as a bulletproof vest in a duel with Buford Tannen (as foreshadowed in Part II when Biff is watching A Fistful of Dollars in his hot tub). When McFly returns to the future, it is thought that he died in the process, and as such a ravine is named "Eastwood Ravine" after him. In a Sponge-bob episode, Spongebob and Patrick refer to themselves as "Dirty Dan and Pinhead Larry", referring to Dirty Harry Two Japanese people in the film Crocodile Dundee II mistook the main character, Mick Dundee, for Clint Eastwood. In the 1994 parody film Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult, Eastwood's iconic squint is emulated by Leslie Nielsen as he walks into Alcatraz prison, in the way that Eastwood does in Escape from Alcatraz (1979). In Casper Dr. James Harvey (Bill Pullman) is being harassed by ghosts. At one point his image in the mirror changes into Clint Eastwood saying "I'm gonna kill you... your momma... and all her bridge-playing friends" before the image changes again, this time to Rodney Dangerfield. Actor Jeremy Bulloch has stated that he based his portrayal of the Star Wars bounty hunter Boba Fett on Eastwood. As he put it: "I think the secret to playing Boba Fett -- if you can say I played (him) -- is the less you do, the better. There is no point in Boba Fett waving his gun around and saying, 'Look at me.' He was very cool, and he didn't move much. I always thought of Boba Fett as Clint Eastwood in a suit of armor." [citation needed] In The Simpsons, the tough police character, McGarnicle, is an obvious parody of Eastwood, specifically his "Dirty Harry" character. Eastwood's portrayal of the Man With No Name is also credited as an inspiration for the character Master Chief in the popular Halo series. Professional wrestler The Undertaker portrayed Clint Eastwood in his "Dirty Harry" persona in advertisements leading up to the WrestleMania 21 Pay Per View event. In the 2007 Transformers film, the Autobot Ironhide makes a Clint Eastwood impression, pointing his firearms at Sam Witwicky and Mikaela Banes, saying "You feelin' lucky, punk?" Twice Jim Carrey manifested Eastwood's "Dirty Harry" Callahan. As Stanley Ipkiss in The Mask, Carrey emerges from behind a bar where he had sought cover, draws a small arsenal of cartoonish weapons, and asks, "Do you feel lucky, punks?" And in the movie Bruce Almighty, Carrey's character's personality briefly changes into that of Eastwood's and parrots another well-known lines of Eastwood's: "Be careful what you wish for, Punk."
