Zappos.com is proud to offer the Movies and TV - Dirty Harry Ultimate Collection (5 Pack) (One Color) - Electronics: A collection of all five films in which action star Clint Eastwood plays Detective 'Dirty' Harry Callahan. Featured titles are DIRTY HARRY (1971), THE ENFORCER (1976), MAGNUM FORCE (1973), SUDDEN IMPACT (1983), and THE DEAD POOL (1998). Dirty Harry (1971) - A tremendously controversial film, both decried as an apologia for fascism and hailed as the solution to a decade of rising crime, DIRTY HARRY propelled Clint Eastwood's career into the stratosphere while adding another archetype to join his Man with No Name in film iconography. Clint stars as Harry Callahan, a truculent San Francisco police detective well known for his vicious take-no-prisoners attitude toward criminals. With the city of San Francisco being terrorized by the psychotic killer known only as Scorpio (Andrew Robinson), Harry is assigned by the mayor (John Vernon) and Lt. Bressler (Harry Guardino) to try to stop him, pairing him with reluctantly accepted new partner Chico (Reni Santoni). Scorpio kidnaps a 14-year-old girl and buries her alive, demanding a $200, 000 ransom for her return. Harry is to bring him the money--alone. What follows is one of the most exciting ransom deliveries in film history. The prototype for most of the action films through the rest of the century, DIRTY HARRY rises far above most of them due mostly to an excellent script and Eastwood's gripping acting. That said, the main character's contemptuous attitude toward the Miranda law seems far more damning now that it did in the early 1970s. The Enforcer (1976) -In this third installment of the Dirty Harry series, Detective Callahan wages war on a terrorist group and his by-the-books superiors. His partner for this mission is a determined female officer who refuses to be bullied by male-chauvinist cops. Callahan and partner save the mayor, Dirty-Harry style. Magnum Force (1973) - Though MAGNUM FORCE is actually the second film in the 'Dirty Harry' series, it introduces audiences to the classic line, 'Do you feel lucky, punk?' offered by one of cinema's greatest antiheroes. Screenwriters Michael Cimino (THE DEER HUNTER) and John Milius (APOCALYPSE NOW) might have put the words in Harry Callahan's mouth, but would they be as famous if they were said by anyone other than Clint Eastwood? In this installment, Harry has been taken off the homicide beat, but murder still follows him in his new job handling stakeouts. He and partner Early (Felton Perry) investigate a series of deaths that take them from a former murder suspect to a top man in the mafia to a pimp. Ted Post, who previously worked with Eastwood on HANG 'EM HIGH, reunites with the actor for this action-packed sequel to DIRTY HARRY. Sudden Impact (1983) - After a seven-year break from playing Harry Callahan, Clint Eastwood returned to direct, produce, and star in this, the third sequel to DIRTY HARRY. In this one, Harry gets himself in trou
