I know there are 5 films with Clint Eastwood playing the "Dirty Harry" role,but because of the time between the third and fourth installment and the commercialization of the franchise, I only really look at the three Dirty Harry films from the 70's as part of the series.
I don't need a complexed plot to enjoy a Dirty Harry film. Clint Eastwood acts fine in California based cop flicks with little dialogue as he did in his great Westerns during the 60's. There is decent shot-popping action in "The Enforcer" as Callahan and it is surely a watchable and not boring film.
If you are looking for a continuation of the Cop vs. Bureaucracy tale that made the original "Dirty Harry" so compelling, you may come away unsatisfied as "The Enforcer" tacitly embraces some of the PC stupidity so cleverly attacked in the first go-around. It's a bad move for the franchise and the world introducing future "Cagney and Lacey" star Tyne Dailey as Harry's quota-hire female partner. Subtle message here is one of "gender equality" and shows Callhan developing deep respect for the lady cop he was reluctant to work with. Maybe Eastwood wanted to do something he hadn't done in the first two Harry flicks and show some sensitivity and maybe even deflect some of the media criticism of his macho and rule bending character.There's not that much of the PC nonsense, but enough to make one wish they took a script another way.Preach in church, not in action movies..
Good villians help me forgive the PC pandering undertone. Lunatic leftist revolutionaries styled after Patty Hearst kidnappers the Symbionese Liberation Army are the culprit here, with a full-70's ambition of helping the poor fight "the man" and "off the pigs". Nice appearance by Robert Mitchum brother John as a fellow lawman.

Fans of Clint Eastwood's original "Dirty Harry" will find little to cheer about in this uninspired sequel. Despite good performances by Eastwood and co-star Tyne Daly, "The Enforcer" (1976) suffers from a poorly developed script and James Fargo's lackluster direction. The action highlights are rather sparse, with surprisingly few Clint one-liners to enliven the proceedings. Jerry Fielding's jazz-oriented score is a weak substitute for the pulsating rhythms of composer Lalo Schifrin. A definite low point in the Inspector Callahan series.

**1/2 1976. Directed by James Fargo. Well, who says that a director is of no importance if we have a star in the movie ? Certainly not me. Take this Clint Eastwood movie for instance. You've got excellent actors here and a good screenplay but admire what we have in the end: the weakest of the Dirty Harry movies. Thanks to James Fargo who doesn't have the slightest idea where to position his camera and who is unable to give any rythm to the action scenes. Too bad.

This is one of my least favorites in the series. I rate this right behind "The Dead Pool" The third installment gives "Harry" yet another partner,this time it's Tyne Daly(Cagney & Lacy)(Judging Amy)and the movie has that 70's TV movie feel once again. I am a fan of the entire series and I do like this film, but it just seemed like it didn't have much new to add to the series. This is one of the shortest films in the "Dirty Harry" franchise, but it didn't seem like it. It is by all means a very good and worthy installment and should not be missed. The DVD transfer is very good and the disc has some extras.

The third picture featuring Clint Eastwood as Dirty Harry. Clint Eastwood resumes his role as Police Inspector Harry Callahan; Tyne Daly plays the role of Inspector Kate Moore and Harry Guadino as Lt Al Bressler. Harry gets into one of his usual predicaments when his is relegated to Personnel to help interview patrol officers on the list to make inspector. While filling his duties in personnel he learns that there are eight openings for inspector and three of those eight will be filled by woman. A group of people who call themselves the People's Revolutionary Strike Force (PRSF), led by Bobby Maxwell, are making plans to go on a crime spree all over the city of San Francisco. When Dirty Harry's longtime partner is killed by the PRSF during a major weapons theft, Dirty Harry vows revenge and, surprisingly, is given some support by his superiors. Harry has one problem, he's given a new partner and it's non other then a lady inspector. After the Mayor of San Francisco is taken its up to Harry and his new partner are expecting to find him. All and all I give this movie 8 weasel stars.
