Inspector Harry Callahan meets the new traffic police officers inside the S.F.P.D. shooting range. It turns out that the rookies are on almost equal terms with him in revolver marksmanship.
Trivia:
- Harry mentions that he uses "light specials" in his S&W M29. This could mean that he uses weaker .44 Special ammunition instead of .44 Magnum in his revolver. However the dialogue in this scene was fluffed up by the casting crew . Eastwood actually meant to say a lightly loaded .44 Magnum load.
- This scene was in fact shot in the Oakland Police Department's shooting range, not San Francisco's.

Remember when movies used to let a scene breath? Minimal cuts and the actors felt like real people. There's a moment when Clint is putting his ear protectors on, they don't go on quite right at first and he adjusts them. It makes everything that much more believable, more authentic. That would have been cut in a modern movie.

@@tjp1451 Harry was an extremist but he still stuck to morals and the law. That's one reason I like Magnum Force is here he is being figured for being a man for star chamber justice which those cops are for. But he is not. It's apparently quite difficult for people to actually get a read on Callahan, one way or the other. It's not so much he looks to dispense his own justice, he is just reckless about it. Willing to stick his own neck into the fire. But that recklessness can get others killed.

I don't see that here. I see him thinking these younger guys were kind of like him, taking firearm proficiency seriously. It wasn't until the competition that he felt something was up, and that people were being murdered by someone they didn't expect, like a police officer. That may have been after his partner was murdered in the garage.

@jameshoran8 Год назад

Harry thought it was Charlie McCoy that did all the killings until McCoy was killed and DeGiorgio told Harry that Davis was the first guy at the scene. Harry then suspected the four and purposely missed the last target practice shot with Davis's gun to have ballistics compare it to the bullet that killed McCoy. When the three rogue cops confronted Harry in the garage, it confirmed to him they were the killers. He didn't know Briggs was their leader until Briggs pulled the gun on him in the car. Briggs thought Harry would join his vigilante force. He was wrong.

Also not mentioned directly was that Harry shot the .44 magnum with only one hand while casually standing whilst the the other officer had to use both hands while taking a slightly crouched tactical stance to achieve the same marksmanship.Shooting a .44 magnum single handed that fast and attaining that level of marksmanship is incredible.

Gotta love those old training targets that teach you to gut-shoot.

@Johnnyjonas274 7 лет назад

Yeah, no center mass training then, I guess. The one that Sweet "missed" was dead center and would have more effect than the stomach shots.

@JerryMetal 7 лет назад

Isn't the idea of a gut shot to disable the perp but not necessarilly kill him?

@Johnnyjonas274 7 лет назад

In reality, you're lucky to actually hit anyone anywhere when in a real gunfight with the adrenaline pumping, lighting conditions, subject moving around. You aim for the biggest target which is Center Mass. If someone is trying to kill you, you want to neutralize them quickly to stop the threat. It usually takes a while for someone to stop fighting when hit in the stomach. They usually bleed out slowly and in the mean time can still be shooting at you.

@DEP717 7 лет назад

At the time, some pistol instructors taught shooters to aim for the "Pelvic Girdle," because so much in the way of bones, organs, etc. was there to hit, and the idea was for more "stopping power" that way. (Sadly, the recent shooting of a Congressman comes to mind, a shot in that area can do tremendous damage.) Today, many Police and other pistol shooters train for "Center Mass" shots, which tend to go for the chest as the center aiming point. I guess they figure instinct is more to aim that way in a crisis.

So Harry is sort of in a conflict because he sees them being there as a red flag but they're also stroking his ego to lower that red flag. The psychology of this scene is what fascinates me, the way Eastwood could show that conflict through his acting. Even when they leave, he watches them leave, but then he kind of smirks because they managed to impress him. Superb acting by all of them.

I imagine he meant he uses lighter loads for competition, since time is a factor. He would be smart to use lighter weight fast expanding bullets for the street (180 grain) to reduce the chance of over-penetration. Fun fact: SFPD was one of few agencies to issue the S&W .41 mag revolver in the late 60's and early 70's, along with El Paso and 1 or 2 others. Always surprises me that they issued something that powerful. In the liquor store robbery scene in The Enforcer, the patrol sgt covering the front of the store appears to have one. It's definitely an N frame, and the muzzle and chamber mouths look bigger than .357. I have a Ruger in 41 Mag. Great cartridge. Still need an S&W.

That or he uses the special rounds for practice and the magnum ones when he carries. Either way it reflects a lot about Harry as a character, in that he's not just this badass Machiavellian loose cannon, but someone with a sense of righteousness under that exterior. He never called himself Dirty Harry, others did, and it's because he can make the tougher choices. He's doing his job without compromises and the best way he knows how.

A few things to consider when Clint says "a light .44 special": We are only hearing him say the word "special", we don't know if he meant the caliber .44 Special or if he meant a .44 magnum "specially" loaded to lighter pressures. Since any .44 Special in a Model 29 would be "light" to begin with, I tend to think the latter rather than the former. I interpret it as he hand loaded his .44 magnums lighter than factory specs in order to get faster followup shots while still retaining much of the power of the magnum load.

Range qualification days. I do miss them. It is a bit strange that the mock up for the scene isn't longer. I've never been to a police range this short. 50 meters is pretty standard from the firing line. This looks more like 30,.. from the barrier. Firing a .44 in such an enclosed space without sound buffers on the walls. You'll be hearing those shots throughout the precinct. LOUD hardly describes it.

This was actually filmed at the Oakland police range which was running up until the early 2000s but was shut down due to air circulation. One of our range instructors just posted the clip, hence my comment 1 year later from yours.

He must be referring to a 210gr .44 "Special"- Much better than the "Full House" 240 or 300 grain loads in .44 Magnum cal.- Which you'd be crazy to shoot in a place like San Francisco.

faffaflunkie On that note, there was a local Township Officer in our area who carried a 4” bbl Model 29 as a duty weapon, and he used the .44 “Special” rounds in it. This was in the late 1980’s & early 1990’s. He eventually ended up switching over to a hi-cap 9mm just like pretty much every other officer ended up doing. Good Day to You!

That Columbo moment where Callahan realizes that 4 traffic cops with military training might just be up to no good. He's thinking "these guys are really cool" and then a shadow passes over his face, "Hmmmm".

If I recall, the line about the ".44 Specials" was the result of a misunderstanding on the part of the scriptwriters. John Milius's intention here, when he wrote the first draft for the film, is that Callahan is using a reduced-recoil .44 Magnum load that kicks less than a full-power load. The S&W Model 29, as big as it is, would give an experienced magnum shooter much better control of the recoil. The other scriptwriters working on the film did not fully comprehend what he was getting at when they were going through his first draft and thought he meant ".44 Special" and wrote it as such in future script revisions, and it stuck.

I never saw this movie before watching this clip. at first I thought it was just slow paced and awkward, chalking it up to maybe old movies were just like that to me. Then we see that guy shoot so fast and basically keep up with Harry. And then he completely puts over the other guy in the group as "dog nuts". suddenly I understand everything, this scene was not slow and awkward, it was tension I was feeling. a great scene.

Jonny Quest turned out to be pretty good shot. ;)

I remember watching this movie 🎥 for the first time in late 1988 on local television station and in the summer of 1989 on either Cinemax, HBO or Showtime, and boy that I enjoy this movie. Furthermore this is my favorite Dirty Harry movie 🎥.
