	The Dead Pool
		This is quite a lively thriller in the Dirty Harry series, which had previously seemed to be fading into mediocrity.
		Members of the band Guns 'n Roses whose song "Welcome to the Jungle" is used in the film, make cameo appearances in the funeral scene and as actors on Peter Swan's set.
		So, it turns out, does Harry's__ the burden of "celebrity" status having been forced upon him after his testimony against a Mafia kingpin resulted in a highly publicized conviction.

	Barnes & Noble.com - The Enforcer -- James Fargo - DVD - Wide Screen / Dolby 5.1 / Mono
		Number Three in the "Dirty Harry" series, The Enforcer equips macho cop Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood) with a female assistant, Kate Moore (Tyne Daly).
		The Enforcer cleared enough at the box office to warrant yet another "Dirty Harry" opus, Sudden Impact.
		When Harry and Kate discover that the mayor is being held at Alcatraz Island, it is only a matter of time before the climactic bloodbath.

	Amazon.com: Enforcer (1976) : Video
		On the one hand the villains in "The Enforcer" are the weakest of any of the films in the series, but then the ELA is only Dirty Harry's target and not his opponent.
		In this interesting Dirty Harry film, Harry and company duel with a weird group of "revolutionaries." While the plot and characterization are compelling, the scenario gives rise to some questions.
		Given how laughable the hippie revolutionaries are this film could have ended up being a big joke without her performance and the chemistry she has with the star, which is made all the more impressive by the fact that there is absolute nothing sexual about their relationship.

	The Enforcer (1976 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Enforcer (1976) is the third film in the Dirty Harry series.
		The television character of McGarnicle on The Simpsons is an obvious parody of Dirty Harry.
		Throughout the film - several characters are referring to the LAW Rocket- the LAW Rocket is the real-life M72 anti-tank weapon.

	The Enforcer (1976/I)
		A well made and entertaining film, `The Enforcer' keeps the `Dirty Harry' series alive, well and on solid ground; in retrospect, it seems a shame now that Eastwood waited seven years to make the next installment, `Sudden Impact,' as with the dreadful `The Dead Pool' in 1988, it all ended with barely a whimper.
		Initially, the film takes something of a patronizing attitude toward her, but Harry treats her as an equal from the beginning, and in the end, Inspector Moore emerges as a strong character, gender aside.
		And beyond the action, it's a film that manages to make a valid statement about bureaucratic nonsense, as well as the lack of common sense employed by those ensconced in the budding agenda of `political correctness,' who put an emphasis on image over purpose and results.

	DVD Talk > Reviews > The Enforcer > Printer Friendly
		The Enforcer is the third of Eastwood's five outings as Dirty Harry, and though audiences may have gobbled up Callahan's unconventional style of law enforcement, his actions are a constant thorn in the side of his superiors.
		Conclusion: The Enforcer may be the least favorite entry in the series, but it still mops up the floor with the innumerable imitations that Harry Callahan has wrought in the past thirty years.
		The shades of green and brown that appear throughout the film are of the sort that only existed in the 1970's, and though the palette overall seems somewhat muted, this is in keeping with the vast majority of similar efforts from the same era.

	The Movie List Book: A Reference Guide to Film Themes, Settings, and Series by Richard B Armstrong, Search Cheap Books, Discount Books, ISBN 0899502407
		The 450-plus entries in The Movie List Book include characters (mostly fictional, like King Arthur or Philip Marlowe), subjects (lynching), locales (subways), themes (time travel), occupations (taxi drivers), things (bicycles), as well as series films (Dirty Harry; "Carry On").
		Each one falls into two parts, the first of which is a narrative description of the category and the second is a chronological list of representative films.
		Although the authors understandably exclude large subjects (like World War II) and deal only with English-language sound films and some TV movies, the volume is extraordinarily comprehensive and accurate (although this reviewer would lobby to include samurai, bars, actors/backstage life, chases, and more diseases).

	Cape Fear (1962)
		Direct echoes can be found in films like Straw Dogs (1971), Dirty Harry (1971), Fatal Attraction (1987), Pacific Heights (1990), Ricochet (1991), Unlawful Entry (1992) and Just Cause (1995).
		It was also the first of a series of films that confronted the perceived dangers of a liberal justice system that allows too much leniency to criminals, usually involving plots where a psychopath would wield the letter of the law to make life miserable for a decent ordinary protagonist.
		It was the first of a subgenre of films that placed the nuclear family and the values of ordinary American decency up against a wall.

	Ziggy's Video Realm: Clint Eastwood is Dirty Harry in The Enforcer (1976)
		As one would expect from the Dirty Harry series, the director also takes good advantage of the San Francisco location in choosing his sets, this time even moving across the bay to Alcatraz (before it became the Bay area's most popular tourist attraction).
		Originally, this film was meant to be the last one of all, leaving things at a trilogy; though I'm glad that there were in fact two more films made afterward, this would also have been a fine conclusion to the franchise.
		If there were suddenly a rule made in the film industry that as soon as one premise was used, it could never be used again, there would be no more movies.

	E! Online News - "Animal House" Dean Dead
		Trained as a stage actor, the Canadian-born Vernon was known for playing a series of villainous and tough-guy roles, such as the mayor in 1971's Dirty Harry and a Cuban guerrilla in Alfred Hitchcock's 1969 film Topaz.
		Perhaps the highlight of Dean Wormer's job in the film is to inform the toga-favoring Deltas, led by Bluto (John Belushi) and Otter (Tim Matheson), that they have been expelled from college after violating their "double-secret probation."
		John Vernon, who earned a measure of cinematic immortality dressing down Delta House as Dean Wormer in 1978's National Lampoon's Animal House, died Tuesday at his home in Los Angeles of complications from heart surgery.

	Hawaii Surfing contests Macy's Pancho Sullivan 2005
		With an act closer to the moves of Clint Eastwood’s Dirty Harry film character, Pupukea’s Pancho Sullivan drove quietly into town, loaded for whatever came his way — and took ‘em all down, it wasn’t even close.
		When the Big Sister of all south swells swept thru the islands last week the Big Money was on whether — or not — the lovely lady would last through the weekend, with Macy’s E-Series Event #1 ready to kick off.
		Those three were like termites on a fresh plywood from the start of the final, but Sullivan just kept his eyes out on the horizon and knew what he wanted, where he wanted it from and HOW to milk that nugget when it lifted up from deep water.

	Sudden Impact (1983)
		Sudden Impact is the 4th of the Dirty Harry films and one of the best traits of these films is that they don't really degrade in quality from one film to the next.
		As the first of the Dirty Harry films to be made in the 80's, Sudden Impact lacks a bit of the 70's feel that characterizes the first three films.
		Bottom Line: Brimming with intensity and action, Sudden Impact is another worthy addition to the Dirty Harry series.

	The Dead Pool (1988): Clint Eastwood, Patricia Clarkson, Liam Neeson, Buddy Van Horn
		THE DEAD POOL, the last of the five Dirty Harry movies, is being re-released on DVD with a new digital transfer in celebration of the thirtieth anniversary of the start of the series.
		Of all the Dirty Harry pictures, this one has the strongest supporting cast.
		This time Harry is trying to stop a contest, nicknamed the dead pool, in which people are betting on the death of various San Francisco celebrities, including Harry.

	Amazon.com: DVD: The Dead Pool (1988)
		The Dead Pool seems to be the last Dirty Harry adventure, which is a good thing.
		But The Dead Pool is fairly inspired, even playful--check out a "chase" scene between Clint Eastwood's Harry Callahan character and a remote-controlled toy car wielding a bomb--and it ended the long-running series on an unexpectedly positive note.
		The problem is that 'Dirty' Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood) is also on the list.

	The Dead Pool Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		The Dead Pool, the last of the Dirty Harry quintet is also the series' least, the victim of a burnt-out character and a tired formula.
		It's a good thing this was the end of the franchise, because a sixth might have found Dirty Harry chasing himself as the same sort of rogue cop he investigated in 1973's Magnum Force.
		There are few extras on the disc — a sprinkling of production notes and the film's trailer.

	last link on the left > final credits > john vernon
		He became known for playing villains, sinister officials and unsympathetic authority figures in over 200 TV and film roles, in such films as "The Outlaw Josey Wales," "Dirty Harry," "Point Blank," "Airplane II" and "Topaz," one of the last movies made by Alfred Hitchcock.
		The show was a forerunner of NBC's "Quincy M.E.", CBC's "Da Vinci's Inquest" and CBS' "CSI." The series was one of the CBC's first filmed series at a time when they hadn't even drawn up contracts to cover such things as actors' residuals.
		While Vernon may be best remembered as Dean Wormer in 1978's "Animal House" (he put Delta House on double secret probation), it was as coroner Steve Wojeck on the groundbreaking 1960s Canadian TV series "Wojeck" that he first made his name.

	:: rogerebert.com :: Reviews :: The Dead Pool (xhtml)
		"The Dead Pool," which is as good as the original "Dirty Harry," has lots of new angles, and a lot of things to say, especially about horror films, television news and the burden of being a celebrity.
		One of the players in the Dead Pool is Peter Swan (Liam Neeson), a monomaniacal British horror-film director, who is making a rock video in San Francisco.
		"The Dead Pool" is the fifth in the series, and most of the people watching it will have seen the other four.

	Lalo Schifrin - film composer
		Schifrin has composed music for a number of film series, such as the "Dirty Harry" movies or the "Amityville Horror" series.
		Between the pop music tracks in the latter films, we are treated to thrilling fare similar in style to a hip, tongue-in-cheek Bond movie with Chinese suggestions in the instrumentation and melodic fragments.
		Schifrin uses a lot of unusual musical juxtapositions including those between religious chants for the conformist vision and more avant-garde elements for the sense of oppression and depersonalisation as the central characters struggle to resist the regime.

	RollingStone.com: In The Line of Fire Review
		A flashback shows Horrigan in Dallas with the president and the first lady on the day of the assassination (computer magic transports Eastwood from Dirty Harry into the Kennedy footage, much in the same way that Paula Abdul joined Cary Grant in those TV commercials).
		Petersen compensates by intensifying the suspense as Horrigan and Leary face off in a hotel where the president is speaking, letting the film get down to the entertaining business of good, old-fashioned bang-bang.
		In a series of menacing phone calls, Leary tells Horrigan he's going to shoot the prez right in front of the agent's eyes.
