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.
Several criminals who have eluded the law are being gunned down by a cop on a motorcycle. Harry, who was reassigned to stakeout duty is assigned the case cause his superiors are afraid that this is some kind of gang war. But Harry suspects that they have a vigilante on their hands, quite possibly a cop.
Magnum Force is set in San Francisco where infamous cop Insp. 'Dirty' Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood) is at loggerheads with his superiors over his unique & brutal brand of law enforcement. Carmine Ricci (Richard Devon) is allowed to walk free after a judge acquits him from a murder charge on a technicality, the triumphant Ricci drives away from the court house a totally free man but a traffic cop pulls his car over & proceeds to shoot dead everyone inside. Then more big name criminals are assassinated & when the innocent get in the way of these rogue killers plans they are scarified for the greater good, Harry is put on the case & quickly comes the the conclusion that there is an organisation within the department who are acting as judge, jury & executioner & killing all of San Francisco's top criminals & Harry sets out to bring them down... Directed by Ted Post, although sources including Eastwwod himself claims that he & second unit director Buddy Van Hoen directed more of the film than Post, this is the second of five Dirty Harry films & I quite liked it & definitely put it above average although I wouldn't call it great or anything. The script by John Millius & Michael Cimino is more of a thriller than a straight action flick & has an interesting premise that is still, perhaps even more so, relevant today as there's barely a news broadcast or edition of a national newspaper that goes by without some sort of criminal getting a ridiculously small sentence (I can remember one here in the UK recently where a convicted paedophile was let off because there were no prison places near where his family lived & the fact that if placed in a prison father away he wouldn't get any visitors & that would be stressful & cruel on him & his family, I kid you not) or an interview with a cop who feel like their hands are tied with petty rules, paper work & laws seemingly geared towards protecting the guilty rather than the innocent. You can see where the character's are coming from in Magnum Force, both the rogue cops & Harry who despite not liking the system understands it's the only one we have so ultimately defends it, it's a decent with a moral message so I'll give it some credit for that alone. Unfortunately it isn't all plain sailing here as I thought the film went on for too long & was simply too slow, it's well past the 50 minute mark before Harry is even put on the case for cryin' out loud & the identity of the rogue killers is far, far too obvious. Basically I felt that Magnum Force was a well written & thought out film which could have used a little tightening up during the editing, this could have been an absolute classic as it is it falls just sort. Director Post does OK, the action is competently handled with the motorbike chase at the end standing out as the best set-piece the film has to offer. I watched a pristine 2:35:1 widescreen print of this last night & for a film shot over 30 years ago back in '73 it sure does look good, if you can please try to watch the widescreen version. There's not much violence here, a few shootings but nothing excessive by todays standards. There's some nudity as well if that sort of thing interests you. I also have to mention the pimp mobile, the big black mother who drives around in a huge pink car with orange tan roof & huge triple exhausts running along the side! Talk about drawing attention to yourself, a stark lesson in how not to be inconspicuous... Technically the film is good, it's well made on location in San Francisco using some of the cities sights as backdrops. The acting is fine, Eastwood is good, David Soul's performance here apparently got him the job as Hutch in the TV series Starsky and Hutch (1975 - 1979) & Hal Holbrook is decent as Harry's long suffering boss. Magnum Force is a good thriller, those looking for out-and-out action may feel a little disappointed so bear that in mind. This was a sequel to Dirty Harry (1971) & was itself followed by a further three sequels, The Enforcer (1976), Sudden Impact (1983) & The Dead Pool (1989) in which Harry finally hung up his 357 Magnum...
This sequel to the entertaining "Dirty Harry" stands with few peers when it comes to successful follow-ups. Most don't stand on their own feet but Magnum Force does solidly. Changing the plot but not the style is good formula in movies, rather than playing out what was already done in the original, which is why so many sequels fail. "Magnum Force" is my second favorite film by Eastwood after "High Plains Drifter". Harry still likes to do things his way although rather than focusing his energy on the bad guys, he's focused on some crooked cops in his own department! Follows in the original's footsteps with lots of great views of San Francisco (My Birthplace!) I always feel at home when watching this movie. This is another film that is played a lot on TV because its so good on it's own. Felton Perry does a good job as Harry's partner, comparable to Reni Santoni in the original. Didn't like any of the sequels that followed this movie with the exception of Sudden Impact. Magnum Force is a film that rates highly as watchable again & again.
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.

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. 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. 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
