Oct 01, I have never seen this series before and I have to say I enjoyed this. I can see why it is a classic and helped make Clint Eastwood a household name. Ian W Super Reviewer. Jun 04, Clint Eastwood is the hard, play-by-my-rules inspector Harry Callahan who frequently takes the law into his own hands.
This is a pretty unrealistic depiction of cop life. But who cares? Dirty Harry is a great, entertaining watch not to be taken too seriously.
Peter B Super Reviewer. Feb 07, I don't know if he ended up ruining it in Magnum Force or Sudden Impact and I have no current desire to see either but this original is great seventies action.
Very enjoyable. John B Super Reviewer. Aug 06, Two elements hold "Dirty Harry" back from being a classic: muddled cinematography and a forgettable villain. Half of the time, actions are unclear because of dark, uninvolving camerawork, which may be a result of lackluster direction, and Scorpio is an uninspired, uninteresting bad guy. Clint Eastwood oozes cool with his character and utters some memorable quotes, and even though the plot is predictable, it unravels in an entertaining way.

In Magnum Force Harry's friend Charlie McCoy says "We should have done our 20 in the Marines", indicating that they served together in the armed forces.
The gun's prominence in the films instantly popularized it. The character states the use of a "Light Special",. He also states that it's like using Wadcutters in a. He loses hold of it three times during the course of the series; first in Magnum Force , second in Sudden Impact , then in The Dead Pool. In The Enforcer , Callahan doesn't lose it, however he doesn't employ it to kill the final villain in favor of a portable rocket launcher.
Additionally, in Sudden Impact , Callahan temporarily upgraded to a. In Dirty Harry , he used a Winchester Model 70 bolt action rifle in. Harry also uses a Colt Python revolver to obtain ballistics evidence in Magnum Force. Other weapons Callahan uses initially in the final climax of other films include a bomb , an M72 LAW rocket launcher and a harpoon. It is a recurring theme in the Dirty Harry movies that Callahan has a high turnover of partners; most are killed or wounded while working with him.
In Dirty Harry he mentions that of two unseen partners Fanducci and Dietrich , one is dead and the other in hospital having been shot. His partner in Dirty Harry , Chico Gonzalez, is shot by Scorpio and though he survives, he decides to quit the police. His partner in Magnum Force , "Early" Smith is killed by a bomb planted in his mailbox. Harry smiles and walks away. Callahan was wounded in the incident, taking some buckshot in the leg, but continues on the case unfazed. He is assigned a rookie partner, Chico Gonzalez Reni Santoni.
The veteran officer notes that his partners always get injured or worse so he needs someone experienced, but has no choice. Scorpio kills a young black boy from another rooftop and the police believes the killer will next pursue a Catholic priest. Callahan gets distracted by watching a sexual encounter. Scorpio arrives and there is a shootout, in which a policeman disguised as a priest is killed.
In retaliation, Scorpio kidnaps and rapes a teenage girl named Ann Mary Deacon Debralee Scott , before burying her alive in an undisclosed location. He then demands twice his previous ransom before Ann's air runs out by the next morning. The mayor decides to pay and tells Callahan to deliver the money with no tricks or backup.
Harry inspector wears a wire and brings a knife which he tapes to his lower leg. Scorpio sends Callahan to various payphones throughout the city to separate the inspector from any backup, but Chico follows him. The chase ends at the enormous cross at Mount Davidson. Scorpio admits that he plans to let Ann die anyway, and brutally beats Callahan; Gonzalez arrives and saves his partner, but is wounded. Callahan stabs Scorpio in the leg, but the killer escapes without the money. Gonzalez survives his wound, but decides to resign from the force.
Callahan tells his chief to monitor any admitted patients at emergency rooms who were treated for leg injuries. Running out of time, the officers search the killer's room without a search warrant. Scorpio makes a run for it across the field and Callahan shoots him in the leg, dropping him.
When Scorpio refuses to reveal Ann's location and instead asks for a lawyer, Callahan tortures the killer by standing on the leg. Scorpio confesses and the police find Ann at Fort Point, but she has already suffocated to death. Rothko Josef Sommer decides that the killer cannot be charged.
An outraged Callahan follows Scorpio on his own time. Scorpio pays a thug to give him a severe, but controlled beating, then claims that the inspector is responsible.
Callahan is ordered to stop following Scorpio, despite his protest that he did not beat the killer. Meanwhile, Scorpio assaults a liquor store owner and steals his 9mm Walther P38 handgun. Scorpio hijacks a school bus full of children and their driver. He demands another ransom and a plane to leave the country. The mayor again insists on paying but Callahan instead pursues Scorpio without authorization, jumping onto the top of the bus from a railroad trestle.
The killer flees into a nearby rock quarry, where he has a gun battle with Callahan. Scorpio retreats until he takes a young boy as a hostage. The inspector feigns surrender, but fires, wounding Scorpio in his left shoulder. The boy runs away and Callahan stands over Scorpio, gun drawn. The inspector reprises his "Do you feel lucky, punk? Scorpio tries his luck and lunges for his 9mm Walther P38 pistol, laughing maniacally.
The inspector shoots him in the chest, propelling Scorpio into the water. As Callahan watches the dead body float on the surface, he takes out his inspector's badge. After contemplating what will happen to him as a result of his actions outside the rule of law, he hurls his badge into the water before walking away. Fink, a story about a hard-edged New York City police inspector Harry Callahan , determined to stop Travis, a serial killer, by any means at his disposal.
When they were trying to sell their script, the Finks used him as an example of how they envisioned the character. Wayne said he was not interested in the role, however; he felt the violence in the script was unjustified and glorified.
I don't like being offered Sinatra's rejections. Put that one down to pride. The second reason is that I thought Harry was a rogue cop. Put that down to narrow-mindedness because when I saw the picture I realized that Harry was the kind of part I'd played often enough: a guy who lives within the law but breaks the rules when he really has to in order to save others.
The third reason is that I was too busy making other pictures. Another earlier version of the story was set in Seattle, Washington. Four more drafts of the script were written. John Milius wrote a draft dated 23 September inspired by Akira Kurosawa's studies in lone-gun detectives. Milius has also mentioned being influenced by a friend of his, a Long Beach police officer who dealt with criminals in a rather summary fashion. According to Milius, his friend "rarely brought people back" but was, contrastingly, extremely gentle with animals.
Quite a bit of Milius' script remains in the finished film, including Harry's mystique and his "Do I feel lucky? Terrence Malick wrote a draft of the film dated November John Milius and Harry Julian Fink are also named as co-writers in which the shooter also named Travis was a vigilante who killed wealthy criminals who had escaped justice.
