Luis Rosa or....what was that one comment again? "Instead your letting Click-Clack, Ding Dong and Charlie Chan Just was walk out with miss whats-her-face".
ShadowChozo Seems sort of past its prime by this point anyway. That notorious crime wave that spawned both Dirty Harry and Death Wish known as the 70s was long over when The Dead Pool came out.
This one was already starting to veer into silly and parody mode due to the toy car chase (no matter how awesome it is, it's still goofy as hell). I'm glad they ended it with this one as Harry Callahan going into the 90's would NOT have worked thanks to the complete takeover of the US with political correctness and the rise of the SJW, no matter how awesome it would have been to see Harry blast some shitbird Antifa and BLM terrorists with his patented .44 Magnum complete with over the top gun shot sounds.
Fine 80s action movie. I wish he would've done at least one more movie in the 90s, as a true send-off for the character. Oh well, we still have these five excellent ones, and given how bad action movies are today, they should be treasured.
The real star of the movie is the RC Car because jesus christ my rc cars barely worked and that one is pulling off wheelies and 180s in the 80s while maintaining speed with an actual car trying to escape
Please do a Music Mythos of Black Sabbath, It's eating me up inside knowing how good that video would be. Razorfist talking about the Dio years "Orgasm"
Statuatory Grape formally KTF0 Oh, i agree, lots to cover. that man was talented as fuck, and very respectable in that he really cared about the music ya know? if you listen to some of the interviews he has, you can really tell he care about the quality of music he put out. R.I.P dio, if only you had those magic ozzy genes where you can't die
Great job with this one dude, Its actually not a bad entry in the series, I'd put it above The Enforcer easily. BTW: Love the FIST OF THE NORTH STAR reference! That is the manliest Anime/Manga series of all time!
I think I found myself laughing at this review the most of the Dirty Harry reviews(But I didn't laugh at the segments involving Deadpool the comic character...until Terren Gel put his own flair on it that is, then my sides started to hurt) Great video!
***** hey rage what were you thoughts on john wick? It wasn't exactly Shakespeare, but I thought it was nice to see some good old action with out 500 million in CGI.
I love Deadpool, and I think Ryam is greag for him. Bad thing is, he is so overused (why him for green lantern?) that now here's a good role for him and people are saying "no more fucking Reynolds!"
I always felt like the honorary seventh Dirty harry film was Gran Toreno, without the personality. Also, Liam was the only thing that got me through episode 1. ...minus the mideclorian discussion.
Seeing soy boy Ryan Reynolds or is it Ryan Gosling or does it matter next to Dirty Harry is a visual chart of how the testosterone levels have plummeted. Sad. "Let me tell you something Callahan, I have a particular set of skills, oh wait I can't say that till I'm even older than you are now." A++++ for tossing in Freddie Mercury.
Great retrospective Razorfist! Just today I picked up the Dirty Harry Collection. Currently watching the first film. It really is naive of companies to take down videos from RU-vid for copyright infringement. Free advertising. Keep up the great work man!
The DH series is really only 3 movies for me. DH, MF and The Enforcer. All three have the vibe of early 1970s I knew. San Francisco was more the place to visit, than run away from. There was a feel to those first three. DH and the E were probably best. By Sudden Impact, you feel less shock from Callahans motives, than you feel anger at the evolving, liberal system. Eastwood was also less the young man of DH and moving toward the sage director he would become. But Rage, you put me away. What a barrage of quips and Verbal slaps. Top shelf!
Great to see that Razorfist is aware of Fist of the North Star. Any chance of getting a Ragaholic Cinema for the classic Fist of the North Star 1986 VHS release? You can watch the whole movie on youtube here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YwnM3eMh3Q8.html You could even use it as part of a Mad Max month considering that the entire premise is just "Mad Max with headasplode martial arts" and the author has cited the film series for being one of the main inspirations for the original manga. Eh, screw it, now that I've mentioned japanese stuff I might as well bring this up as well. Razorfist, what's your opinion on "Berserk"? Considering your penchant for hyper violence and things that fall under the "Metal as Fuck!" category I'd figure that series would be right up your alley.
Ok so I know my medical terms; when the comment was made "Dirty Harry drops more shitbags than a Parkinson's afflicted patient with a colostomy", maybe I'm a little skewed but I was dying laughing at that.
What a fucking moth of pure badassery this has been. Another awesome video and and a great conclusion of the Dirty Harry series. PS: That Patricia Hernandez article is more than enough reason why Kotaku should be nuked off from the internet.
That car chase required the most suspension of disbelief since 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly' where Clint shot several hats of head without blowing someone's brains out
Great review! Just wanna know, I read that you said Pacific RIm was "outright dogshit" and with you bringing it up in your review, I thought this was a perfect time to ask, why did you not like Pacific Rim and even so what did you think of the action scenes?
Razorfist: there seems to be a lacking dry season of the ABSOLUTELY GLORIOUS Rageaholic Cinema, any ideas for the next one? Maybe try reviewing Heat, although that's not as action oriented as something like Out For Justice, it might be worth a try
Aside from the obvious, re-watching this and seeing your hate for G&R magnifies the awesomeness of your command of good entertainment! GOD fucking speed sir!!
Sorry to say, we already seen Dirty Harry in the PC world. Would of fit in with the self-parody of today's world. It was called *Sledge Hammer* TV series of 1986-88.
