VHS Movie Reviews of The Dirty Harry Collection (Dirty Harry/Magnum Force/The Enforcer/Sudden Impact/The Dead Pool) [VHS]
Movie Review: Dirty Harry Collection...Rocks
Summary: 5 Stars
Ladies and Gents, "The Man With No Name" is back, and his name is Inspector Callahan.We all (most) know that 3 of the Dirty Harry films are better than the other two...they all have their moments and fave tag-lines.This Collection brings them altogether for that winter marathon, like the "Lethal Weapon" series.
Dirty Harry Callahan is the picture perfect series of the Old West Sheriff dragged, kicking and screaming, into the New West to clean up the town and save the day from the bad guy (or guys & gals). Not all the townsfolk like the hero's methods, but they all want or need saved (remember Lago, Big Whiskey, or the mining camp in "Pale Rider"?) We like VHS because it will FAR outlast dvd...
It seems that there's a new generation who saw "Gran Torino", but never,gasp, ever, heard of Dirty Harry. If you like really nasty villains, high speed chases, sneering one-liners, and lots of flying lead, you'll love The Dirty Harry Collection. Go ahead, make your day...

The "do you feel lucky" line is from Dirty Harry NOT Magnum force. If a reviewer can't get that right then they shouldn't be reviewing.Movie Review: On June 3, 2008 a new Dirty Harry Collection is to be released
Summary: 5 Stars
Folks, don't be held hostage by people who currently have the only way to get all of these films together. On June 3 Warner Home Video will release Dirty Harry Ultimate Collector's Edition which will contain new upgraded DVDs of these films plus a documentary - "Clint Eastwood: Out of the Shadows". The film "Dirty Harry" will be available separately and will also be a two disc special edition. Movie Review: Wow
Summary: 5 Stars
Plenty of people here have summarized what the film is about, so I won't. I'll try to add something original to the mix, so forgive me if I don't confine myself to describing the film's plot. The popularity of this film cannot be explained without a wider understanding of cultural conditions and sentiments at the time of its release. Dirty Harry, like Death Wish, was a bombshell, as it gave voice to how hundreds of thousands of people were feeling, sentiments people felt and may not have publicly expressed for fear of backlash from the PC movement. In a few sentences, the cultural circumstance referred to was a growing discontent with what was growingly considered to be misguided attempts to solve society's "problems." In the sixties the government gave itself the responsibility to "fix" many problems, from teenage pregnancy to poverty to drug use to discrimination to crime, with social "programs," judicial activism and new legislation. Ironically, ALL of these problems were already rapidly decreasing in the early sixties. Crime was HALF what it was in 1930, even if you don't control for the increase in the population!! Poverty was lessening each and every year. What happened after the social programs of the late sixties and the generation of the welfare state? Well, the crime rate literally exploded. So did teenage pregnancy. Poverty quadrupled. Another thing that happened was the rewriting of law to lessen the punishment of criminals to the result that even the criminals that were arrested and successfully prosecuted often ended right back out on the street in a matter of months to commit even more crimes. People were sick and tired of this crap. Some filmmakers new it, and tapped into this sentiment with wildly popular films like Death Wish, The Stone Killer, and Dirty Harry. An entire genre of "vendetta/revenge/let's take out the human garbage" films was born. Whatever happened to America's real roots, the cowboy? Well here he is, in 1970s San Fran. Harry Callihan is more than a character, he's a representation of a return to common sense, of someone flipping the bird to the higher than thou premption of common sense by lofty third party surrogate policy makers. He is the symbol of a public outcry to give me a break and cut the high minded BS.
