Tagline: A man's got to know his limitations.
Plot: Dirty Harry is on the trail of vigilante cops who are not above going beyond the law to kill the city's undesirables.
My rating: 7/10
Will I watch it again? Yes.
Probably what I like most about this second film in the Dirty Harry series is how they take the rogue cop premise further by have a group of them AND Harry isn't involved but he's set on bringing these vigilante cops down. It's a great follow-up to DIRTY HARRY (1971) and it's a lot of fun. Then there's the top notch cast with a lot of young faces of actors on the rise all doin' their thing behind a groovy Lalo Schifrin score. The San Francisco locations are bright and fresh. I dig it. The Warner Bros. 4 Film Favorites: Dirty Harry Collection has the first four films. This one is presented in anamorphic widescreen and the features you get are a commentary track from John Milius (!!!) (looking forward to hearing that one), a featurette called A MORAL RIGHT: THE POLITICS OF DIRTY HARRY (24 minutes, anamorphic widescreen), another one caled THE HERO COP: YESTERDAY AND TODAY (8 minute vintage behind the scenes doc, fullscreen) and trailers for all five DH films.
