Its a dirty job but someones got to do it
Review of Dirty Harry Collection (Box Set) by harj123

Advantages: tense,exciting well acted cop thriller
Disadvantages: might be too violent for some viewers

Dirty harry[1971] is one of most successful cop films ever and also highly controvesial.When it was released it drew criticism for its violence.Directed briskly by Don siegel and set in San francisco,its a tense thriller which pitches cop "Dirty " Harry callahan against killer "Scorpio".Harry is called "Dirty" because he takes on the tough cases that all other cops stay clear of.He is a widower,has few real friends and works best alone.He is dedicated ...

Magnum bullets and quick fire one liners
Review of Dirty Harry Collection (Box Set) by gideon

Advantages: Gritty, compulsive, an original master film
Disadvantages: Dark, gloomy look on society

...pay it may not, it’s Dirty Harry’s call. When this film was released it caused quite a stir, critics called it reckless, and do-gooders saw it as the moral downfall of society. They were probably right, they didn’t like what they saw because it told the truth about society. No filmmaker had dared to be so liberal about civil disobedience, Don Seigel the Director used rapid fire editing and Eastwood’s 6.4” (6.6” ... Read review

Ask Yourself Do I Feel Lucky Well Do Ya Punk
Review of Dirty Harry Collection (Box Set) by polydeuces

Advantages: A well directed film, well acted and full of action
Disadvantages: Is it moral or amoral

...film in the series was Dirty Harry which established the character and created a market into which Magnum Force, The Enforcer and Sudden Impact was fed. The film was set around the pursuit and ultimate capture of a crazed Sniper called Scorpio played with suitable wild-eyed madness by Andy Robinson. As we see Callaghan pursue him we see Callaghans personality develop as almost as pathologically criminal as those he pursues. The difference being ... Read review

Did He Shoot 6 Bullets Or Only 5
Review of Dirty Harry Collection (Box Set) by TheNeil

Advantages: Fabulous
Disadvantages: Violent

...The same is true of Dirty Harry. Most people know the name and for many years I knew the name but hadn't the faintest idea about the film itself. Yes I knew that it was Clint Eastwood and that he was a tough cop but what else? Erm, don't know sir. With a crazed killer holding the city of San Francisco to ransom, the police department appear to be helpless. The killer, Scorpio, is demanding $100,000 else he'll start killing yet more people and although ... Read review

Classic Eastwood Movie that Made My Day
Review of Dirty Harry Collection (Box Set) by dreamstar70

Advantages: good role for Eastwood & direction from Don Seigal, thought provoking, good action
Disadvantages: violence slightly stylised, poor picture/sound quality, feels dated

...its age and dated looks Dirty Harry is probably one of the best cop movies to come out of Hollywood. It spawned a host of variations on a theme, even though some would argue DH took a few ideas from the 1968 Bullitt. The idea of a cop trying to bring criminals to book, but using tactics otherwise outside the law, was quite a novel idea back then and was probably an indictment of how the crimewave in some parts of the States had spiralled during ...

Make my day.
Review of Dirty Harry Collection (Box Set) by oclumhain

Advantages: good lines and performances
Disadvantages: none

...comment? Perhaps neither. Eastwood arrives as Dirty Harry with a bang after the likes of the spaghetti westerns and 'Coogan's Bluff'. The San Francisco of the late 1960’s and early 70’s was known for its liberal attitudes and Eastwood’s character has often been seen as a counterblast to this. Noticeably, the main villain of the piece (who incidentally had a hard time finding work after this film having been typecast as a psycho) ... Read review

Im all broken up about that mans rights
Review of Dirty Harry Collection (Box Set) by Plissken

Advantages: Clint at his best...
Disadvantages: None, unless you don't like Clint!

...jail sentence...you do that to Dirty Harry, and you know he's going to take it personally. What stops this from being just another running-and-jumping cop thriller is the sheer brutality of some of the sequences. In one scene, Callahan tortures information out of Scorpio by stomping on a leg wound. In the following scene, the kidnapped girl's naked corpse is dragged out of a hole in the ground by police officers. Moments like this give the film ... Read review

whos he calling a punk
Review of Dirty Harry Collection (Box Set) by Nevermind

Advantages: gripping
Disadvantages: gripping,(mental note) "go to the toilet before potentially gripping film"

I realise that this is meant to be a "Clint Eastwood" film, but whoever played the psycho who buried the girl deserves major recognition. I know a lot about "evil" laughs, and i have to say, he's got the most impressive one i've ever come across! it made me gigle even when he was being really scary. Anyway, the film itself. It disturbed me above anything else. Who gave "dirty Harry" the right to beat up poor care in the community psychos! Aside ... Read review

Best Dirty Harry Movie
Review of Dirty Harry Collection (Box Set) by glwgardner

Advantages: 5.1 Mix
Disadvantages: Poor DVD extras

...getting an airing on DVD. Dirty Harry is the first in a series of films featuring the eponymous hero, a cop who takes on roles of judge, jury and executioner with any scumbag who is stupid enough to go ahead and make his day. Tracking down the psychopathic Scorpio, Harry doesn`t let little things like police procedures get in his way: his determination to pursue his own notion of justice regardless made him a kind of folk hero - a disturbingly fascistic ...

I know what you're thinking….
Review of Dirty Harry Collection (Box Set) by northers

Advantages: Great score, storyline, characters
Disadvantages: some wooden acting

...as the brash and uncomplicated Dirty Harry. Flying in the face of late sixties and early seventies political correctness, the film could be seen as presenting crime-fighting from the cops' point of view. Apart from the lead characters and a scarily deranged turn from Scorpio, the villian of the film, the acting could be considered a little wooden. A great soundtrack and dizzying shots of San Francisco provide ample backup to the film as it careers ... Read review
