Every one a gem, Juil 7 2004
I understand many people dislike sequels and that most people put too high of expectations on sequels but I am quite sick of all of the 'wannabe' critics that say, Oh, the first was the best, the rest sucked...that is "the thing to say" I guess if you THINK youre a film fan and follow blindly behind the other sheep bleating just because the other sheep are. Now, everyone has the right to like or dislike a film but if you liked the first film you generally like the sequels. Each film to me is a continuation. If you don't like em, fine, move on. However I find EVERY film presented here a gem. Each film presented here did fairly well at the box office. The point is, these were supposed to be like the bond films but Eastwood decided enough was enough. Some say, awwww, its his worst after the westerns....cmon, hes not gonna do westerns forever!!! ridiculous! The films here are gritty and VERY 70s/80s so newcomers won't find much to relate to here but anyone who is a 70s or 80s child will enjoy these films. Its NOT NYPD Blue, Nor is it Lethal Weapon or any other cop drama. These are films that were VERY revolutionary back in their day and made Eastwood a star, it wasnt his "Man with no name" trilogy that did it, even though they were amazing and got the ball rolling for him. It was these films right here that gave him his trademark saying "go ahead, make my day!". If your a fan of Harry you must own this set, otherwise move off to the pasture and bleat and chew grass like all of the other sheep.

The first two are great, the rest o.k.!!, Fév 2 2004
The five "Dirty Harry" films were a great vehicle for Clint Eastwood, The 1971 Original was definately ahead of its time as Harry Callahan tracks & tries to stop a sniper who is demanding money from the City of San Francisco, some of the city's best shots are in this movie, Eastwood's portrayal of a no-nonsense cop who gets no more than 4 amendments wrong as he catches & stops the sniper & then is questioned for his tactics is as real as it gets, & really makes you question the justice system & its treatment of criminals, this is in all fairness the film that paved the way for many cop shows that followed such as "Kojak" & "Starsky & Hutch" as well as films such as "Lethal Weapon", the second film>> "Magnum Force" continues Harry's one-liners & no-nonsense approach to crime, as he investigates several murders invoving many crime lords, only to discover that vigilante cops are doing the killings, & at one point try to seduce him into joining their cause as they talk about the ineffectiveness of the judicial system & that he of all people should understand their cause, echoing his feelings in the first film about criminals, like the first film, some of San Francisco's best shots are here, the third film>>> "The Enforcer" is where this series starts to lose its appeal as Harry is assigned to stop a biker gang who have kidnapped the Mayor for ransom, this one is slow & by the time the end comes, you have lost interest, the fourth film>>> "Sudden Impact" doesn't feel like a Dirty Harry film at all, this one has Eastwood's then girlfriend Sandra Locke as a vengeful woman hell bent on killing the men who gang-raped her, & succeeds up till the last one, who outsmarts her & is saved by Harry, only the last 10 minutes are good as Harry finishes off the last rapist & Locke's speech about vigilante justice & how rape victims are often ignored by the justice system, the fifth film>>>> "The Dead Pool" does get back to the elements of the first two, with some of the city's best shots, especially a neat chase scene throughout the streets of the city, that I don't think have been duplicated since, & this time Harry is chasing a killer who is knocking off famous people, Liam Neeson(Star Wars Ep I) is here in one of his first movie roles who is a filmaker who may or may not be the killer, as is Jim Carrey as a drugged-out, burnt out b-movie star who falls victim, there are also many un-related attempted murders on Callahan, as he not only has to find the killer, but foil hired killers of a crime boss he put away, how he stops their assaults are funny when he visits the crime boss himself in prison, this one definately brought back the glory of the first two!!

Clint Messiahwood is Dirty Harry, Janv. 31 2003
This collection is too godlike."Dirty Harry" - Clint Eastwood plays Inspector Harry Callahan who has just been brought in to find a maniacal psycho who is playing as a sniper in San Francisco. Dirty Harry gets all of the dirty jobs and demolishes everything. He even took care of a group of bank robbers while eating a hot dog... He punched out a suicidal man ready to jump off of a building... He then took care of the psycho. "I have the right... to a lawyer!" the weird man screamed. The most powerful handgun in the world, yes. That psycho deserved what was coming to him after taking a school bus hostage... Harry must've made that guy fly ten feet in the air off of that little pier... "Magnum Force" - A group of vigilantes are cleaning up the streets the old fashioned way, above the law. Well, nobody is above the law except for Dirty Harry. Silly partners always get it. Those rookie cops sure can shoot. "Harry, you shot a good guy... An ok sequel with Clint Eastwood taking care of business once again. "The Enforcer" - Harry is assigned with his first woman partner. This time a group of protesters who do dastly deeds are threatening the mayor and only he, the Messiah, Dirty Harry can take care of them... The movie is slow and it builds up to a huge climax on Alcatraz Island. A rocket launcher was the perfect choice to take out the main rebel, but poor partner got it once again. Will they ever learn that Lordage doesn't need any partners? "Sudden Impact" - Grisly murders are taking place all done by the same killer. A woman who is looking for justice takes the law into her own hands. "Go ahead and make my day." Dirty Harry takes care of plenty of garbage in this movie. Watch the end where he comes back to the ferris wheel and then the guy falls onto a unicorn... Ok, but why did Harry let the woman go? Bad Harry. "The Dead Pool" - Probably the funniest and best movie since the first. Harry investigates murders that are happening on a movie set. A little remote controlled car chases Harry down the streets of San Francisco and Harry spears the bad guy at the end, literally. "Welcome to the jungle!"... If you don't buy this, then you are pure mortal.
