The scene where Sunny comes on to Harry was inspired by the fuck-ton of fan-mail that Clint got from San Francisco's female Asian population (they apparently made up a huge percentage of the "Dirty Harry" fanbase). The actress who played her was Clint's real-life girlfriend.

Thank you. Thank you. As a kid growing up in the UK during the 80's, The BBC would only show this late on a Saturday Night once a year. A strange ritual thus developed. For some bizarre reason, my parents would forego their usual draconian viewing policy and allow their nursery/primary school aged-son to watch this film unattended. Their I'd be, face barely six inches away from the crappy old telly, surrounded by junk food and carbionated soda bottles in my spider-man jimmies, in a state of rapture. Thanks for the trip Rageaholic.
If the character Harry Callahan was a cop in Gotham City, he would have shot Batman dead for dressing up in a cape and mask... Then he would finish his burger.
You probably dont give a shit but if you are bored like me during the covid times you can watch all of the latest movies on InstaFlixxer. I've been watching with my brother lately :)
When it comes to the scene where they shoot the target in the crotch. In the Marines we were taught to shoot there, because there's major arteries and if you break their pelvic, they cant walk; That was in addition to hitting center mass or their T-box (the area around the eyes and nose)
I want to point out the sheer awesomeness that this movie displays Harry being significantly more intelligent in how he does things. When shooting (hehe) the shit with the vigilante cops, he asks to borrow one of their guns for a target shoot, he shoots at a pillar with said vigilante cop’s face on it. He comes back to grab the bullet for Ballistics, but it also was his way of saying “I’m onto you.” He also kills all the vigilante cops without firing a single shot
Still one of my favorite scenes is when Harry meets the death squad in the garage. "All our heroes are dead." - Still sends a chill up my spine sometimes and poignant that separates Harry from them.
***** Eastwood is one of my all time favorite actors and directors. And Dirty Harry one of my favorite, if not my favorite movie franchise. So after watching the first review, I had to scratch that itch pretty badly
+Helge Kvamme I ordered the Grindhouse Blu-Ray Collector's Edition. Mr. Razorfist, I request both Death Proof & Planet Terror as a double feature review. Plz good sir
For me, the only short coming on this classic movie is, They had promoted David Souls cop as a badass sure shot and I was wanting to them both in a show down gun fight to see who is better!
I saw this in the movie theatre when it opened! I was 13, and thrilled to discover that nobody cared about the R rating, they just wanted my money! (Yay capitalism!) 1973 was a pretty joyous time, no one was being sent to Viet Nam any more, and we were doing moonshot after moonshot. What a great nation we were, and so deserving of great action flicks like this one. What the hell ever happened to that country?
***** Suppressed shotguns actually exist and are practical, though I doubt they existed in the '80s when No Country For Old Men is set. Suppressing a revolver has been done but it is highly impractical, especially with a powerful revolver. There is a gap between the revolving cylinder and the barrel where blast escapes when fired. The Nagant M1895 is one of very few revolvers that can effectively use a suppressor, because of it's unusual gas seal system that presses the cylinder against the barrel when fired to prevent blast escaping.
***** Well unlike what is often shown in movies the purpose of silencers is not to make the gun so quiet that it is practically inaudible. The purpose of a silencer it to allow you to use a gun without ear protection and not damage your hearing. In general a silenced gun is still very loud and can still be heard from great distances. Of course this is the movies so high powered sniper rifles that make the sound of a pen drop for everyone!
The scene where the pimp kills the hooker by force feeding her draino is believed to have partially inspired a real life crime called The High-Fi Murders that happened in Provo Utah in the mid 1970's The killers went into an electronics store tied up all of the people(5 in total) in the store before raping the women torturing them all and forcing them all to drink draino before shooting them all in the face before stealing some electronics and leaving like nothing happened. Both were caught tried and sentenced to death, during their time on death row they were the most hated inmates on death row (Gary Gilmore reportedly stopped in front of each of their cells as he was being walked to the execution chamber and told them both "I'll see you in hell" before spitting in their faces). One (Dale Selby) was executed in 1987 and the other (William Andrews) got the hot shot in 1992.
Eastwood said he objected to the actual murder being shown. For one thing, it's _very_ exploitative with lots of glimpses down her cleavage or up her skirt while she's fighting for her life. Not cool. But also: in the morgue scene afterward, the coroner says "he poured Drano down her throat" and it's left to your imagination, which makes the previous scene unnecessary and probably hits the audience harder.
Excellent you caught all of the incredible parts of this timeless classic exxxxxxcept the pink Cadillac pimpmobile complete with a gold grill and white fur interior xD
Brother Rage, Preach on! I have watched this multiple times now and I have to hand it to you, Dennis Miller would be proud! Your razor wit, timing and humor have got me rolling and I am hooked. Thanks for posting this masterpiece!
You forgot to mention that the reason Harry was sleeping with his asian neighbor was asian women kept writing letters to Eastwood about them wanting 10 inches of Eastwood.
Another great review from The Rageaholic and I would like to use this occasion to say something might cause an uprising: Despite the well-deserved classic status of the original, Magnum Force is my personal favorite Dirty Harry film. Just an all-around 70's action perfection.
This may be the greatest movie review of all time. One of the greatest action movies of all time, with just the right guy to review it, with just a taste of Motorhead
Hell fucking yes. Magnum Force is my most-watched Dirty Harry movie and my favorite entry in the franchise, ever since I first saw it as a kid in the early 80's.
A fun review of an enjoyable feature that helped forge all the tropes we would later have as classic cliches. A friendly note to *****: Dirty Harry could only have invented the SF chase scene had Steve McQueen never existed. www.imdb.com/title/tt0062765/?ref_=nv_sr_1
I watched this for the first time today. My interpretation is you're supposed to initially think McCoy is the culprit, and that will be the twist (he's frequently said to be crazy and bitter). Thus when two traffic cops come face to face in the building and McCoy is the one who GETS shot, I was more surprised than I have been by a twist in a long time. A double twist, I guess.
This to me is the best of the Dirty Harry series. It has everything! Amazing soundtrack, shootings, bombs in pools, drain cleaner down the throat, David Soul, 44 magnum, Hot Asian chick oh and Clint Eastwood :)
I hope you see this I JUST found you My SECOND FAVE film after the original PLANET OF THE APES is ESCAPE FROM N.Y. I'm 53 I grew up with these You are awesome I build Models of these guys Hope you are on fb I'll show you
Razorfist, Clint Eastwood, Motorhead and a .44 magnum...it doesnt get any harder than this if you were invited to the playboy mansion, pajama party sleepover... FUKN NAILED IT
The first film is fantastic and somewhat legendary. The second film isn't so legendary, but actually a whole lot better. Erm... can that even happen? Apparently so! One point I wish the "Rage" would have touched upon during these reviews, would be Lalo Schifrin's very iconic soundtracks. Not just the bad ass dirty main themes for the first two flicks, but some really solid sound design in this particular film.
I would like to thank Elmer Keith, for the invention of the .44 magnum, without which this movie wouldn't have been possible.
Also the. 357 Magnum and .41 Magnum.
The scene where Sunny comes on to Harry was inspired by the fuck-ton of fan-mail that Clint got from San Francisco's female Asian population (they apparently made up a huge percentage of the "Dirty Harry" fanbase). The actress who played her was Clint's real-life girlfriend.

Anyone that says Dirty Harry is a "fascist character" should watch this film 1,000 times and shut the fuck up about it.

Plot- and pacing-wise, "Magnum Force" might be the strongest Dirty Harry movie. Screenplay by a young John Milius.
If Clint created the pre-mortem one liner in the original Dirty Harry, he also created the post-mortem one liner here in the sequel.
If the character Harry Callahan was a cop in Gotham City, he would have shot Batman dead for dressing up in a cape and mask... Then he would finish his burger.
If Dirty Harry was a cop in Gotham, all of Batman's villains would be as cold as Mr. Freeze.
Joker’d be more afraid of Harry than he was of the IRS...
Now thats an idea, Batman and Dirty Harry!
You probably dont give a shit but if you are bored like me during the covid times you can watch all of the latest movies on InstaFlixxer. I've been watching with my brother lately :)

I never even noticed, that is true there the femoral artery is run around there which is the second largest artery if I'm not mistaken.
".....depends is Al Sharpton close by?" LMAO it's hilarious because it's true.

I have 4 of them on #DVD. Definately worth A marathon
I got the 2 disc set, Dirty Harry and Magnum Force in one Blu-ray case.
Magnum Force (1973) is not the origin of modern car chase Bullitt (1968) and The French Connection (1971) are both iconic examples
Technically, 'ben hurr' precedes them both; but there are black and white comedies with car chases.
And even before that Grand Prix in 66
Harry: "You heroes have killed a dozen people this week. What are you going to do next week?" Davis: "Kill a dozen more."
For me, the only short coming on this classic movie is, They had promoted David Souls cop as a badass sure shot and I was wanting to them both in a show down gun fight to see who is better!
"Man's got to know his limitations". That was the point at the end, he played more intelligent than they.
@@marjanp Briggs was right, you guys don't have enough experience.
My Zippo has 'A mans got to know his limitations' engraved on it
The kid with the balloon sound effect...epic! Godspeed Razorfist, yet another masterpiece !!
Just when I thought that car chase couldn't be any more badass...suddenly Motorhead. Good call on the musical choice there!

Short answer: corruption and unlimited illegal immigration.
A distinct lack of Eastwood and Bronson.
We started valuing life more?
People like you refused to value it.
Killer video. Now imagine a Cobra/Harry buddy cop movie. The shitbags might as well start digging their graves.
trago1337 You know what the problem with you is? You're too violent.
That last one-liner is EPIC
For fucks sake. A silenced .44 Magnum?! Physics ladies and gentlemen, physics. Back when movies weren't afraid to be batshit awesome.
***** If I'm not mistaken, the 'Magnum Force' actually use .357 Magnum Revolvers, not a .44 Magnum.
Good to know. BUT a silenced Magnum!Imagine the real life repercussions if random hoodlums could silence there hand cannons.
***** very true the group of cops use colt pythons in .357 magnum while dirty harry uses his smith and wesson 629 in .44 magnum
***** Suppressed shotguns actually exist and are practical, though I doubt they existed in the '80s when No Country For Old Men is set.

Cant make films like this these days. Amazing how much the world has changed in a couple decades
I wanna see a cross over between Judge Dredd (and that's comics Dredd ok, the real Dredd), Dirty Harry and RoboCop!
You'd better put some respect on Dredd with Carl Urban. He was spot on
Could you do They Live?

i was looking for Cinemasins of this movie, but i found you, love it! liked and subbed! hello from Cobourg Ontario Canada! great stuff
UA-cam crashed for me right before that final one liner.

It's a shame they don't make revolvers like that anymore.
Invented the chase scene? Didn't "Bullit" come out in 1968? That had a pretty good chase scene in it.
"Holy f*ck this is gonna be a massacre."
Truer words were never spoken.
Magnum Force is a fuckin masterpiece imo
God I love these reviews as much as the movies themselves. This has been the best one yet.
Great review. Also one of my favourite 70’s movies.
"what's your last name? Demise?!"
Rage-a-fucking-holic for president. I'd watch every goddamn speech thrice.
My favorite Dirty Harry movie. His bad assery is ratcheted up to eleven in this film.

Okay I take it back, Magnum Force (despite some flaws) is a pretty good sequel after all.
I have a Zippo that is inscribed with 'A mans got to know his limitations'

Something tells me you'd appreciate the subtlety of Mad Bull 34
4:21 that's some hentai shit right there
My favourite Dirty Harry movie too
Beats them like RuPaul at a klan rally.
Pure gold.
Magnum Force is fucking amazing. Couldn't agree more that it's the best action sequel of all time. THANKS RAZOR!
Holy crap, this is MY favorite entry in the Dirty Harry series, too!
Ah the .44 magnum. Once I get my FAL, the .44 is next.
I always loved this series even though I’ve only seen it once.
And this by far is my favorite of the series.
Speaking of Motorhead and the Death Race scale, how do Lemmy's motorcycle antics from the Killed By Death video measure up?
I watched this for the first time today. My interpretation is you're supposed to initially think McCoy is the culprit, and that will be the twist (he's frequently said to be crazy and bitter). Thus when two traffic cops come face to face in the building and McCoy is the one who GETS shot, I was more surprised than I have been by a twist in a long time. A double twist, I guess.
7:35 most iconic moment in all Razorfist's videos.
The wordplay! Bravo sir
A sequel that’s as good as the original.
Nobody, and I mean Nobody, eats a hot dog with ketchup.
This to me is the best of the Dirty Harry series. It has everything! Amazing soundtrack, shootings, bombs in pools, drain cleaner down the throat, David Soul, 44 magnum, Hot Asian chick oh and Clint Eastwood :)
The only revolver that could be suppresed is 1895 Nagant. Colt python's have a gap beteween the cylinder and the barrel.
The beginning was very nice
Hurley is black OCP dude from the first Robocop.
and the 2nd and 3rd
Well spotted
Holy Crap, I cant believe I missed that!!
This is the best thing I ever saw.

I stepped away just before 4:28 (but could still hear the speakers). Thought you were playing a Yoko Ono clip.
Dude, you're killin me....TWO for TWO
Place your bets, because when the CHiPs are down, take a guess who will be standing over their corpses.
This is my favourite entry too.

2. Sudden Inpact
3. Dirty Harry
4. The Enforcer
5. The Dead Pool

I was watching this on tv when it was interrupted by the Lockerbie bombing … never forgot it

I feel lucky watching ANY reviews by Razör!
This was actually the first Dirty Harry movie i saw.
Good movie, my only complaint is the silencer on a revolver. Wouldn't really have the intended effect since the rounds are fired from open cylinders
SPACE TRUCKER approved.
