Giallo INFLUENCE. And by the way, on that count Psycho is definitely not valid. Psycho influenced Gialli. Not vice versa. Hot Fuzz has more splatstick influence than anything. Also remember that not all Italian crime films are Gialli. Mad Dog and Kidnapped for example don't fall into that category and these are closer to where the Dirty Harry saga is coming from.
