Dirty Harry is back! And this time, he's up against some vigilante cops who are blowing away all the mobsters in old San Francisco while being harassed by his superior officer Hal Halbrook. Not only that, but there's folks trying to rob stores, hijack planes, one of his buddies is going a bit mad, that guy's wife is hitting on Harry and his Chinese neighbour is looking for a bit of filthy squeezy. Where does a guy find the time? Harry does somehow (although the neighbour would have gone right to the top of the 'to-do- list for me). Even when the guy's trying to grab a burger he ends up pretending to be a jetliner pilot so he can plug a few holes in a hijacker.
There's not too much of a plot for this one (the film doesn't need one) – You can solve the mystery of who's behind the killings in about five seconds, but what you do get is loads and loads of bad guys getting what they deserve one way or another, and Harry almost, almost sympathises with the killers. But then doesn't because he's Harry Callaghan and states clearly that he does thing his own way. Because he's Harry Callaghan. And he does things his way. Because he's Harry Callaghan.
Also starring the guy who ate baby food in Robocop and David Soul. Loads of gunfights in this one. Maybe a little overlong, but who cares
