That was my favorite part of the film. I was wondering what was going on when the lady at the counter poured an insanely huge amount of sugar into his java while he was reading the newspaper. That was priceless and a good move on that lady's part. She alerted him to the bad guys.
The more I study it, the greater the puzzle becomes.
The Golden Voyage of Sinbad
What I found even more interesting was that Harry was so preoccupied with the newspaper and didn't notice and the potential robbers didn't think something was strange with the amount of sugar being poured in.
shareYeah they were keeping an eye on her, the robbers would have known and probably shot him in the back or something..
And the shooting scene.. he puts his hand in his jacket, draws and shoots 4-5 of them one by one while they just keep staring at him stupidly their guns drawn, for a while I was confused, was I watching Inspector Callahan or Clark Kent.
Yeah, it would've made more sense if she just casually put a more normal amount of sugar in there.
shareYep. The character from the Sergio Leone westerns shot fast enough to take them all. Not sure about Callahan.

I also love that scene because there is a feeling that Harry might have understood that something was wrong WHILE she is pouring the sugar, and the audience thinks he might be keeping a poker face while he is reading the newspaper.
Of course, when he walks out of the diner the audience notices that he didn't get the hint, but there was an implication that I think is interesting.
