Dirty Harry
returned to the screens after 2 years in the follow up, Magnum Force. The sequel
deals with turning the tables on Harry making go against what he seemed to be
championing himself in the first film.
Whereas Harry’s vigilantism and recklessness was arguable to solve a
case and the life of a girl before her time ran out, Magnum Force’s villains
are just straight up executing those that managed to weasel out of the
courtroom on technicalities. While the first film did include action and violence, it was
more suspense oriented. This film ramps
up the violence to another level. The
kills are ruthless and gory. Some of the
deaths in this film will even make you wince.
The film also features a lot of boobies, including those of pre Three’s Company Suzanne Somers.
