*MAGNUM FORCE* Movie Reaction FIRST TIME WATCHING DIRTY HARRY 

Did you like this one as much as Dirty Harry? DIRTY HARRY: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7xXcwRbuVSE.html DIRTY HARRY Playlist: ru-vid.com/group/PLQHhQlj8i5dpdA9d2wQdVdoGqzArCFfNq 1970's Playlist: ru-vid.com/group/PLQHhQlj8i5drsQGfFSKqYoo0ai-nUbTQq

This one is my favorite of the "Dirty Harry" movies. The Briggs plot twist caught me off guard too.

Harry's partner in this movie , was the same actor who later played one of the board members , in Robocop .

“There’s nothing wrong with shooting, as long as the right people get shot.” Great line and I always go back and forth between this or Dirty Harry on which movie is better, that’s how great this sequel is.

Clint's favourite Dirty Harry film apparently. The late David Soul was cast as Ken Hutchinson in Starsky and Hutch after this movie.

Hal Holbrook (Briggs) had a long and varied career. Best known for his one-man stage show "Mark Twain Tonight." You can see him in a role vaguely similar to this one, in "The Star Chamber" (1983). He's also Deep throat in "All the President's Men," and a suspicious character in "Capricorn One." Albert Popwell (the Pimp) appears in the first four Dirty Harry movies, playing a different character in each one. It's kind of an Easter egg / inside joke thing.

Only Jen could describe a mothballed aircraft-carrier as a barge, and the flight-deck as the roof! Just keep being you Jen, your reactions are the best!

David Soul and Robert Urich would go on to play police in other TV shows: David Soul would play "Kenneth Hutch", in Starsky and Hutch, and Robert Urich would play "James Street" in S.W.A.T. Both very good TV shows of the 1970's.

Solid sequel and reaction / review. 💜 RIP David Soul. Thanks for all the vampire nightmares.

I suggest the Clint Eastwood movie "In the Line of Fire" from 1993.

Now you have to watch ALL the Dirty Harry movies, there is a law that says if you watch two you have to watch them all.

This one's my favorite of the Dirty Harry movies too. I like them ALL, but I like this one the best. And if you'll notice, the pimp in this one comes back in ALL of the Dirty Harry movies as a different character.

Man has got to know his limitations.

This one was my favorite. It's a little smoother than the first one. Fantastic score! Saw this twice at the theater with my Dad. Suzanne Somers is the topless woman killed in the pool. David Soul of STARSKY & HUTCH is one of the dirty cops. Tim Matheson, voice of the cartoon character Jonny Quest, was another. And Harry's partner, Felton Perry, was in one of the original PLANET OF THE APES movies.

You can't help but love a lovely lady that appreciates the Lalo

I'm with you on this, Jen: MAGNUM FORCE is my favourite in the series. Its excellent pacing means it somehow feels shorter than the original, in spite of actually being twenty minutes longer. Credit to a good script from John Milius (APOCALYPSE NOW) and Michael Cimino (THE DEER HUNTER), which addresses head on the main criticisms of the original, specifically the charges of Harry being fascist and the movie's implicitly condoning it. Here Eastwood's position is made explicit by having vigilante cops as the villains, and giving Harry the chance to explicitly rebuff them and their views (while still lighting up half a dozen random fools along the way for various offences).

The most iconic line was left out, at the end of the chief inspector’s car blowing up, when Harry says: ‘Man’s got to know his limitations.’

"Plot twist, it's the lieutenant!" Jen, you're getting good at this 😆

Jen saying "Shut it nerd" to the busy-body neighbor during the mailbox bomb sequence with Harry and Sunny was laugh out loud funny. Good job Miss Jen. 3 to go, each one with iconic moments for the great character of cinema. Cheers!

Glad you got the copyright fixed Jen, nothing can ever stop you and we always got your back.

"Shut it, nerd!" Damn Jen. LOL

Proud of you for getting the movie back up!! And you can like whichever one you want!! I’m just glad you’re enjoying our Dirty Harry!! Keep watching I think you’ll enjoy them all!!!

David Soul(Davis) played Detective Hutchinson in the "Starsky And Hutch" TV series. He carried a six inch barrel Colt Python revolver in the show and a four inch in this.

This is my favorite Dirty Harry film.

I kind of agree, the first one was excellent and became a classic, this was better in a different way. The rest are also good in their own way. Two unrelated but awesome movies he did are "Coogan's Bluff" from 1968 and 'Play Misty For Me" 1971 his first as the director.

I think that you should certainly do all the 'Dirty Harry' films, I think that you'll really enjoy them.

Glad to see the charming "Murray Maneuver" in the thumbnail survived the emergency edit. See ya in the chat!

RIP David Soul whom we lost just recently.

My fave film of the series: superbly directed, awesome music (my boy Lalo) and a supporting cast that just sizzles.

My black gloves are now forever my "moidering gloves".😅

"Sheriff Farley, Can you tell the court what kind of gun you found in Mr. Callahan's car?" "A .44 Magnum"

5:29 Mark! Actor Robert Urich! He's in the original "SWAT" television series as a team member. He's a private detective in both "VEGA$" and "Spencer for Hire"! (Was he in "The Rookies" too as a police officer?) He's the captain of the M.V. Sun Princess in "The Love Boat: The Next Wave"! His wife was actress Heather Menzies from "The Sound of Music" and the "CBS" television series version of "Logan's Run"! 😊

There's a 1983 movie called the Star Chamber. it's a secret panel of judges who, like in this movie, dispense their own special brand of justice. Hal Holbrook also had a starring role.

Same music composer as Enter The Dragon . . . Lalo Schifrin

.44 Don't leave home without it😮 (especially if you drive a pimpmobile )😊

Take two! And well worth the wait.

“Sunny” is SO beautiful and sweet and cute. I wish there was more of her here and later. I’m surprised the actress didn’t do all that much at all.

The naked chick in the pool was Suzanne Somers from Three’s Company.

"A man's got to know his limitations!" BEST MOVIE QUOTE, Jen! Good Job. 👍 😘

I'm 47 years old and it's nice to see your generation enjoying these old movies and see what real acting's about thanks for the Post 💯👍

Dirty Harry's revolver is a Smith & Wesson Model 29. It is chambered for the .44 Remington Magnum cartridge. The bullet diameter is 0.429 inches, and the exterior case mouth diameter is 0.456 inches. For some reason, the cartridge is called .44 magnum. The bad motorcycle police officers are armed with Smith & Wesson model 586 revolvers chambered in .357 magnum. Magnum, in this context, is just a marketing word that means 'big.' The .357 magnum cartridge fires a bullet that is 0.357 inches in diameter. I have fired both types of revolver, and have found that I can shoot .357 magnum rounds pretty well. When I have fired .44 magnum rounds, the recoil is enough to knock me back a step if my feet aren't firmly planted under me. At one time, I thought I wanted a .44 magnum revolver, but honestly, .357 is plenty enough power for me.

You should definitely watch 'The Untouchables' (1987) starring Kevin Costner and Robert De Niro + 'Colors' (1988) starring Sean Penn and Robert Duvall. 🚔🚨📽

The Pimp in this movie was the bank robber in the first movie. Albert Popwell was the actor, and he was in most of the Dirty Harry movies, playing different roles in each one.

Jen: OH this is COOL! Me: Yeah Baby!

Agreed, this is my favorite Dirty Harry film. Lots of future stars too.

The actor who played the pimp in this movie played one of the bank robbers in 'Dirty Harry' - the one who said to Harry "I gots to know" whether he had fired '6 shots or only 5'. Eastwood always (and still does) works with some of the same actors (and crew) from movie to movie.

Jen: "Stylish opening!" Me: "That's a hell of a price to pay for being stylish." Trust me. It'll make sense after you watch the next Dirty Harry movie "The Enforcer."

Magnum Force is my personal favorite of all Dirty Harry films. -OG

Good luck Jenn hope it stays up!!! I give you credit for your patience!!!

Hal Holbrook, the Captain, performed as Mark Twain in a one man show for more than 50 years. I remember seeing the 1967 television special. It was fantastic.

His gun is a Smith & Wesson Model 29. .44 Magnum

The 3 rookies, David Soul went on to play Detective Hutchinson in the TV series "Starsky and Hutch". Soul passed away recently. Robert Urich went on to his own successful career playing Private Detective Dan Tanna in the series "Vega$" and PI Spencer in "Spencer: For Hire" and several followup TV Movies "Spencer:....". Tim Matheson has had a long, successful TV & Movie career starting as a child actor.

Perfect Timing Jen💝and I too will be keeping My fingers crossed for You!🤞When the Premiere went down I just kept thinking: Please let it be a Block and Not-a-Strike!🙏Good Luck, and I hope the rest of these Movies won't give You this much trouble...

This movie still has 2 really violent scenes for me. When the guys in the car at the start are all shot and the camera lingers on the twitching bodies. Then near the end when Harry chops the bad cop in the throat and crushes his windpipe, damm the sound engineer nailed the sound effect, It still makes me shudder.

Det. Harry Calahan carries the Smith and Wesson model 29 with 6.5 inch long barrel, chambered in .44 Magnum.

Hey Jen, you should definitely check out.. The Gauntlet.. 1977 movie with Clint as a cop up against his own department and lawmakers to get the job done.. is with his wi Partner of the time Sandra Locke.. not to be missed...

Saw this very young (too young) at the drive-in when it came out. My Dad was a huge Eastwood fan. It’s been blowing my mind ever since. As usual, you nailed it with the music, this soundtrack kicks ass. Schifrin did all of the Harry movies except the 3rd. Thanks so much for reacting to these!

3:33 Mark! At school, at least one teacher thought that I might grow up to be an astronaut! But not me! Even "Aunt Bea/Bee" in "The Andy Griffith Show" earned her pilot's license! But rather than be resentful, I'm envious! I've ridden in airliners as an infant or toddler without knowing that I did so. But as an adult, I went to airshows and fairs, hoping to ride in at least a helicopter, and I got to ride in "Newschopper 4" next to the pilot, who was seated to the left, so that a young couple could sit together in the back seat! That was at an "Aerospace America" event. Locally, when I was much younger, I got to ride in a civilian version of a helicopter with the bubble cockpit like those in "MASH"! The doors were off! I could see Dad down on the grown being afraid that I would fault out despite the safety belts! My brother was in the back, alone! So he was more scared! 😅

I agree with you Jen; Magnum Force is a better story than Dirty Harry. I think they are the two strongest of the series. The next one isn't bad though.

21:52 "Shut it, nerd." 😄 I always thought that guy looked like a real life Ned Flanders.

I watched a documentary once on the series. Robert Urich (Sweet) told a story about the scene in the parking garage where the three cops say "You're either with us or against us" as they rode out of frame they all tumbled the bikes. Nobody got hurt, and Eastwood said "I've just been threatened by the Keystone Cops"

I LOVE seeing your reviews. I forgot how cool the music and movie were. If I ever find a magic lamp, I would wish we would hang out to see movies because your movie reactions rock!!🤣

I love the sign in the background "Up your Ricca..." :D

Totally agree with your concluding thoughts.

That motorcycle v. car head-on crash always takes me by surprise. It's an audacious looking stunt.

This was the first Clint Eastwood film I ever saw and became an instant fan.

I'm glad you're going through the series chronologically, you get to see his character grow. Anyway, loved the review, love you, take care and stay safe ❤️

That opening with the gun barrel pointed at the camera was taken from the openings of the TV show Have Gun Will Travel, starring Richard Boone as gun-for-hire Paladin.

13:36 Mark! I see the dog, too! But instead of thinking "coincidental stray dog" as usual, thanks to your reaction upon seeing it, it occurred to me to wonder if it belongs to one of the crew, and he or she, wanted the dog to cameo! 😊

"You do things someone else's way and you take your life into your own hands." ~ *Dirty Harry, "Magnum Force"*

Since 1955, Hal Holbrook had been doing a one-man stage show of "Mark Twain Tonight", reenacting Mark Twain's own lecture performances for a modern audience. I must've seen him over a dozen times, and each time the performance was always a little different as Holbrook had a wealth of material to choose from. Last time I saw him as Twain was about 5 years ago. He died in 2021.

Jen does Magnum Force! Good Sequel! Good Deal ... Made my day! Super Thanks and I hope you enjoyed the violent american cinema of the early 70's! The proper term is not death squad but Star Chamber which is another movie in itself!

20:57 You see where they got inspiration for the T-1000 uniform toward the end of T2 from when he arrives at Miles Dyson's home to the Steel factory. Today is Friday in California!

Back in the mid 90s, I owned a Ruger Redhawk, chambered in .41 magnum. It was a nice gun and I got pretty good with it. I carry a 9mm S&W now.

David Soul that lead in to his role in starsky and hutch he had three hit top 40 hits from 1977-78

"A Man's Got to Know His Limitations" - Dirty Harry

Magnum Force is excellent. Love it. I think Dirty Harry is just about my favourite (Don Siegel was a great director) but TBH I go back and forth between it and this one. Both so memorable with great stories and set pieces. And Eastwood on top form. Also, RIP David Soul who passed recently.

I've never seen the Dirty Harry films but glad I got a glimpse of them through your reactions. They're more enjoyable that way anyway!

That guy playing the rogue cop, David Soul, had a hit in the UK in 1977, with Silver Lady. He was known at the time, for playing Hutch in the popular detective drama Starsky and Hutch.

Thanks jen

Strong follow up to DIRTY HARRY with Clint at his flintiest. I look forward to THE ENFORCER which I know you're gonna dig, Jen.

​Bullitt is Awesome.... If it wins watch the Closing Credits.....

Very good observation on how people viewed Harry in the original and the second film called then out. Harry does the right things the wrong way but he's still within the law. And he upholds and believes in it even if it's not perfect.

The cop that told Harry that he will never retire (Charlie) is played by the same actor that plays the General in Lethal Weapon 1, Mitchell Ryan. Also, Suzanne Somers, known to have played Chrissy on Three's Company was one of the bikini clad women at that pool shooting.

My favourite of the Series.

Let's try this again ... Lol

Office Davis, the blonde cop, was played by David Soul who just passed away in January. He had a long acting career, played heavies mostly but was a great guy & father in real life. One of my fav movies he had a big role in was a true crime movie called In the Line of Duty: The F.B.I. Murders.

I have a story about the scene at 18:47, when Harry comes to arrest the mobsters at their office. When I was 4 in 1973, my mom took me to see a re-release of Cinderella. I had to go pee and went to the restroom by myself. It was the middle of the day, there weren't a lot of customers, and a 4yo could go pee by himself without worry. Ah, the good ol days. After I was done, I went into the wrong theater, and this scene was playing! I sat and watched the whole thing, then left and found the correct theater. My mom wasn't worried.

So glad this got to play. This and The Dead Pool are my favorite Dirty Harrys. The actor who played burned-out cop Charlie McCoy went on to play the leader of the bad guys in Lethal Weapon. For Eastwood getting slightly away from Harry, you may appreciate The Gauntlet.

Harry was never a vigilante, just used the most direct method to resolve a situation, which was usually force. (Harry is mostly lucky that no bystander ever got seriously injured). Sometimes that seems like the best method but in the long term might not be. Briggs and the rookie cops were deciding someone punishment based on evidence that they had no first hand knowledge of, which seems like Harry's main objection. There is a movie called The Star Chamber with Michael Douglas that deal with a similar idea. The Star Chamber in history was an English court set to deal with prominent people that regular courts might hesitate to convict due to their place in society.

When this movie came out, we were graduating from black and white TVs to color TVs and cable channels were brand new to those who could afford them. We got free weekends here and there and one weekend I watched this movie so many times. My favorite one next to the original Dirty Harry.

Great reaction Jen. Thanks for re-editing to get it uploaded and thanks for doing these classic movies.

The Dirty Harry series is just a lot of fun and action. I liked them all. It is a blast watching Jen get so into these movies, she is just to cool.

Tom Hanks said that as Director Clint Eastwood treats his actors like horses. In the old days Directors would shout "ACTION" and spook the horses. Tom said when Clint is in the Directors chair you quietly hear ".... OK when your ready" or sometimes filming has already started! 😂😂😂

If you're old enough... Starsky and hutch. 😊

24:29 Mark! Ahem. That's a flight deck! 😁

Of course you have to continue. You can't shortchange Clint!!! lol

This one's my favourite. Two of the 'adsassination Squad' went on to be TV Detectives. Robert Urich went on to be Dan Tanner in Vegas while David Soul was Hutch in Starsky and Hutch. Soul was also in Stephen King's 'Salem's Lot'. Funny you should mention Mission Impossible. Lallo Shiffin also did the Iconic theme for that.

Is it weird to enjoy the countdown portion of the video? 😎

Robert Urich one of the bad cops had his own show called Vegas. The blond bad cop is David Soul who was on the show Starsky and hutch.
