Idiomatic expressions such as 'make my day' don't do well in literal translation...

If I were writing the German voice-over script for that film, I would render Dirty Harry's line as follows:

"Nun, los! Ich will mich amüsieren!"

Not a literal translation, but more like what a German street cop with an attitude might say.
