There is a quadruple murder in San Francisco that baffles the cops on the scene – it happened in broad daylight on a crowded street with no sign of a struggle. Inspector Dirty Harry Callahan suspects something unusual. He goes to have burgers at the airport with his new partner, Inspector Early Smith. Dirty Harry shoots a couple of incompetent hijackers, and shortly thereafter, he stops a drugstore hold-up. After more killings follow the quadruple murder, City Hall is putting the pressure on the Police Department to put a stop to the killings. At first, Lieutenant Briggs is reluctant to assign Dirty Harry to the case because of Dirty Harry's attitude problem and penchant for pulling his gun, but when the bodies really start to pile up, Dirty Harry is assigned to the case. Whoever is doing the killing seems only to be selecting criminals, like mobsters, murderous pimps, and other felons. Dirty Harry suspects that they have a vigilante on their hands, quite possibly a cop. Discovering that all the killings have been committed by a .357 Magnum, Dirty Harry suspects that Officer Charlie McCoy is responsible. Many cops and the public, people who are fed up with the system, see the killer as a kind of hero. All is not what it seems after Charlie ends up murdered, and Dirty Harry becomes convinced that it's an inside job. As it turns out, a group of frustrated cops led by Officer John Davis have been killing mobsters, murderous pimps, and other people of that kind who are set free. Davis and his three partners Officer Phil Sweet, Officer Red Astrachan, and Officer Mike Grimes killed Charlie to throw off the police from suspecting a conspiracy. Now it's up to Dirty Harry to find Davis and his crew. Labor racketeer Carmine Ricca is acquitted of a multiple murder on a technicality, but after leaving the courthouse amid a sea of reporters and a mob of angry demonstrators, he is driven away - and some time later that day is found shot to death with his driver, lawyer, and a bodyguard. Inspector Harry Callahan and his new partner Earlington "Early" Smith drive by but are asked to leave by Callahan's boss Lt. Neil Briggs, who had Harry and Early transferred out of Homicide to Stakeout because he despises Harry's methods. Another mob figure is gunned down in his pool with a large gathering of guests, but it not until the killing of a known pimp - and after Harry has foiled a plane hijacking and liquor store holdup - that Harry and Early are reassigned to Homicide to head the investigation of these killings. Harry soon clashes with Briggs over the police's primary suspect, Frank Palancio - a clash that becomes hotter when a Palancio associate and a uniformed traffic officer are shot to death, and a subsequent raid on Palancio explodes in a firefight - a raid that Harry finds was a setup by the real killers. Sometime around 1980 my parents bought a VCR and the first two movies I rented were ENTER THE DRAGON and MAGNUM FORCE. And this is still, along with the first "Dirty Harry" and "The Gauntlet", my favorite of all of Eastwood's cop movies.<br/><br/>Director Ted Post directs like a more brutal, stripped-down version of even Don Siegal! He also directed the amazingly violent(for a G rated Film!) second PLANET OF THE APES movie. Any connection? Do we have a mad neglected "auteur" who gets consistently handed sequels to other mens films? Probably not but as those are the only two Ted Post films i've ever seen, i must say the man directs with a clipped military proficiency and is amazingly adroit at filming characters as they meet particularly nasty endings. If you really want a good laugh find PAULINE KAEL'S review of MAGNUM FORCE. "Dirty Harry" was a revolutionary early 70's action movie that instantly caught the attention of cinema-loving (and hating) audiences because of its no-nonsense attitude, excessive depiction of violence and thoroughly nihilistic atmosphere. "Magnum Force", the first sequel in the fairly long-running series and released barely two years after the original, is still an excessively violent and nihilistic toned action movie, but unfortunately it hasn't got the same shocking and adrenalin-rushing impact as "Dirty Harry". Partially this is normal, since the surprise element has vanished, but especially the subject matter here is far less disturbing (also far more fictional) and even the character of Harry Callahan seems to have softened a little already. "Magnum Force" still remains a pretty terrific and highly exciting cop thriller, of course. I never doubted that for a single moment, especially not since the screenplay was penned down by no less than John Millius ("Big Wednesday", "Conan the Barbarian") and Michael Cimino ("The Deer Hunter"). The problem if you can even call it that here is that "Magnum Force" is only a prototypic action vehicle, whereas "Dirty Harry" also served as a contemporary 70's statement to assure the times were rough and flower-power influences were dead, buried and gone forever. Harry apparently picked up his badge again, after throwing it away at the end of the original, since he's still upsetting his superiors by enforcing the law with unorthodox methods. He's called back to the homicide department when the city of San Francisco seems "plagued" by a series of killings of prominent gangsters, like drug barons, mafia couriers, pimps and professional hit men. Shortly after they narrowly escaped justice and got acquitted, the criminals' are found barbarically murdered Executed, even. Harry initially suspects one of his closest colleagues struggling with depression, but there are other possibilities as well, like a young and straight-shooting posse of traffic cops. "Magnum Force" is exciting, but not exactly suspenseful since director Ted Post never really intends to make the killer's identity a big mystery. The vigilante-massacres are extremely sadistic to behold and especially the irrelevant interludes (Harry single-handedly preventing the hijacking of a plane, Harry brutally sorting out a supermarket heist ) are super amusing. Harry Callahan may not be as "dirty" as he was in the first film, but Clint Eastwood nevertheless still portrays him as the ultimately cool tough cop. Eastwood also receives support from Hal Holbrook as the grumpy superior and David Soul who'd later play Hutch in the legendary series "Starsky and Hutch" as the younger cop. The soundtrack is excellent and the photography and editing are far more sophisticated as in the first film. There's even a replacement, albeit less memorable, quote for "Do you feel lucky, punk?"; namely "A man's got to know his limitations". I have always been of the belief that the best way to get things done would be to have some benevolent dictator running things. The problem is always finding the right sage magician for the job. Harry Callahan probably wouldn’t be my first choice, but he sure is entertaining when he shoots people. The following FAQ entries may contain spoilers. Only the biggest ones (if any) will be covered with spoiler tags. It is assumed that no one who is diligently avoiding spoilers will be visiting this page in the first place. Because the film is careful to avoid showing the motorcycle cops' faces when they kill criminals, it is hard to tell which cop is at which crime scene. Additionally, the voices of the cops conducting the two traffic stop shootings are made to sound similar so you can't make a voice recognition and are left guessing as to whether it's the same cop or two different guys. Some believe Red Astrachan is responsible for either the execution of Ricca and everyone in his car or for the pool massacre, and Mike Grimes for the other one. It is presumed by Captain Avery in the morgue scene (and a mention that Phil Sweet found the pimp's body) that Sweet is responsible for executing the pimp.<br/><br/>Of the four motorcycle cops, only John Davis is certainly responsible for the assassination of Lou Guzman and his associates, as well as Charlie McCoy, given that we see him taking off his helmet when speaking to DiGeorgio after shooting McCoy in the parking garage.<br/><br/>However, it is also very likely that Davis might have carried the pimp's murder: Sweet clearly has brunette hair. There is a closeup of the killer cop's sunglasses when he is asking the pimp for his license and vehicle registration, where you can clearly see that he has blond hair sticking out from under his helmet, and Davis is the only one of the four motorcycle cops who is blond. This makes Avery's implication at the morgue that Sweet was responsible for the pimp killing either a continuity error or Sweet was nearby acting as a back-up to Davis. This line caused great controversy amongst gun enthusiasts as it suggested that Dirty Harry used the much weaker 44 Special cartridge in his revolver rather than the tremmendously powerful 44 Magnum (the Smith and Wesson Model 29 capable of using both). According to screenwriter John Milius the crew simply fluffed his dialogue, what Harry means is that he uses a specially prepared slightly lighter version of one of the strongest varieties of 44 Magnum bullets in order to give him 'less recoil and more control'. There are five: (1) <a href="/title/tt0066999/">Dirty Harry (1971)</a> (1971), (2) Magnum Force (1973), (3) <a href="/title/tt0074483/">The Enforcer (1976)</a> (1976), (4) <a href="/title/tt0086383/">Sudden Impact (1983)</a> (1983), and (5) <a href="/title/tt0094963/">The Dead Pool (1988)</a> (1988). The most likely answer is that the cab driver supplied a description of the pimp to the police. Perhaps he was interviewed by a sketch artist as well. They probably were able to identify the pimp through both a mugshot and through a background check on the victim. Once there, it was a matter of one of the killer cops tracking down the car. It's also possible that the killer had already targeted the pimp for previous crimes or simply for the fact he was obviously a pimp. It was only coincidence that he was killed the day after murdering his prostitute.Sweet is killed by Palancio in the dockside shootout. Grimes is killed by Harry running his motorbike over with his car. Red Astrachan is killed by Harry using karate blows to the neck on board the aircraft carriers. Davis rides his motorbike off the side of the aircraft carrier and into the bay whilst pursuing Harry where he is knocked unconscious and drowns. Harry blows Briggs up using the bomb from his mailbox. Ironically this is the only film in the Dirty Harry series where Harry doesn't kill any of the villains by shooting them a5c7b9f00b tamil movie Nafaka free downloadBatman: Gotham by Gaslight 720pthe End of Watch downloadEpisode 1.7 full movie downloadThe The Rocket IIA Tisket, a Casket, I'm Gonna Blow a Gasket full movie in hindi free downloadWho Killed Captain Alex in hindi download free in torrentTrue Memoirs of an International Assassin full movie hd 1080p downloadSketch full movie with english subtitles online downloadDownload the Love Is a Thieves' Game full movie tamil dubbed in torrent
