Magnum Force (1973) — "A man's got to know his limitations."

Dirty Harry made Clint Eastwood's Harry Callahan an icon, and made more than a few critics very nervous about what he stood for. Magnum Force (1973), directed by Ted Post, answers them in the most Harry way possible, pitting him against a squad of young motorcycle cops, with Hal Holbrook as their lieutenant and David Soul among the rookies, who have taken his methods to their logical, lethal extreme. Written by John Milius and Michael Cimino, it's a sequel that interrogates its own hero, however much it still enjoys the .44. Chris Stachiw, the Doctor of Podcasting, digs into Clint Eastwood, John Milius, Dirty Harry, and so much more.
