Wissenswertes
Walt's dog, Daisy, is Clint Eastwood's beloved family retriever in real life.

Patzer
(at around 1h 35 mins) In the bathroom scene, Walt says to the dog to give him a break because it's the first time he's ever smoked in the house. Actually, he smoked the night before when Father Janovich was with him inside the house and they also drank beer.

Zitate
Duke: What you lookin' at, old man?
Walt Kowalski: Ever notice how you come across somebody once in a while you shouldn't have fucked with? That's me.

Crazy Credits
The credits scroll over a highway overlooking the lake shore, with the Warner Logo appearing in black and white.

Would Have Made A Perfect Finish

If Clint Eastwood had retired after Gran Torino, it might have been one of the most perfect endings to an iconic actor's career. Walt Kowalski is like Harry Callahan or number of Eastwood characters from his past only, like the vessel they're protrayed through, older. He's the crusty, cynical tough-guy who deep inside is a bit softer and has a warmer than you'd expect heart. Which is the truth we see revealed in Kowalski over the course of this movie as he befriends and helps the Hmong kid next door. There might be enough of these movies to constitute an entire subgenre of friendship films: one involving an older guy who learns a little about life while teaching a boy to be a man. It's a friendship story and even what you'd call a feel-good one despite the violence and negativity surrounding it. The film aims for authenticity though I think bits of it will be seen by posterity as dated, false hollywood depictions.

Maybe the later movies kept him busy but this is where Eastwood's career as an actor should have (and in a sense did) end.
