The best line in the movie comes before the Palancio shootout. The inspector said "suppose the rookies panic and start shooting." To which Callahan replies, "There nothing wrong with shooting, as long as the right people get shot."
Briggs definitely phoned Palancio. The bombs in Harry and Early’s mailboxes were by Davis, Astrachan, and Grimes. That they have no idea Briggs sold out their friend Phil Sweet shows when Davis almost collapses in tears at the start of the firefight
This would simply not happen today. I fully respect that sworn Law Enforcement Officers are also both; entrusted with lives and first responders. But who is to question or ridicule a Medical Doctor with 9+ full years of very advanced education.

I've always wondered whether that was in the original script or whether it was a mistake by the actor but left in the cut because it accidentally reveals the character and thought process behind the man. If someone could help I'd be really thankful. The look Clint Eastwood gave as he delivered the line could suggest it was a mistake. My take is we (the audience) aren't supposed to know Lt Briggs' true character/motives until the end of the film.
It was scripted. We knew that Briggs was involved with the "Magnum Force," as it became very clear that he was running interference for them. His animosity towards Callahan was a sort of cover. How would anyone suspect him of complicity with a cell of renegade, vigilante cops ( should they slip up and be caught, ) if he was openly butting heads with an Inspector who was considered a little too eager to use his gun?
My take is that the "supposed to be GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT," line was written in intentionally, as a "FREUDIAN SLIP" by Lt. Briggs (who is actually in charge of the death squad(s) on the SFPD) in order to demonstrate his inner struggle to conceal his TRUE motivations re. "upholding the law" (he later disparages the phrase "uphold the law" after Harry tells Briggs what HE HIMSELF would do if faced with a similar circumstance).
@@jamesrogers47 I agree; it is a form of "FORESHADOWING" used by scriptwriters (gives a little hint of what is ACTUALLY happening beneath the "surface" within the "subplot").

Disagree. I like it the best, and it DOES hold up to repeated viewings (I've seen it 100 times easy...maybe more). Hal Holbrook, the rogue cops, the funny scenes at his apartment, Mitchell Ryan as crazy Charlie McCoy, the raid on Palancio, etc. all make this movie worth watching, again and again.
One of the stupidest Eastwood pictures has to be "The Gauntlet".

@@johnhardman3 - that may be. But in that movie, Clint isn't playing Dirty Harry. In the Dirty Harry series, Clint is Harry Callahan. In The Gauntlet, Clint plays Ben Sharkley. And he plays a police officer in a different city & state. Harry Callahan works for the San Francisco P.D.
The best line in the movie comes before the Palancio shootout. The inspector said "suppose the rookies panic and start shooting." To which Callahan replies, "There nothing wrong with shooting, as long as the right people get shot."
shrapnel77 Amen.
Nothing wrong with a LITTLE shooting, just as long as the right people get shot
Ditto to the Death Wish franchise😅👍
Correct
Briggs was a Lieutenant, not an Inspector.
"Every time you pull out that gun my paperwork backs up for three goddam months"
His Voice Sounds Like Phillip Baker Hall, The Actor Who Played Mr. Bookman On The TV Show Seinfeld.
0:47 nice Freudian slip forshadowing
I like the look Clint gives when he's pissed off.
0:25 Dirty Harry chuckles for a change.

Hal Holbrook is like one the greatest antagonists of every movie he ever played in.
Clint Eastwood is a movie icon and all the ditty harry movies were legendary
The Doc's a smartass, I like him!
Funny response from the doctor I like it too 😂
Even Harry had to laugh at the sarcastic joke
I remember skipping school to see this. My friends and I were sophomores in college and didn’t want to miss it.
Well, don't keep us in suspense...did you still graduate?
It's been a hundred years, he probably did.

Listen to briggs talking so boldly and he's probably the one who tipped off Palancio and planted the bombs in the mailboxes.
It's never revealed just how deep he was in with the bad guys, but that's my guess too. He was a dirty cop on the take that's for sure.
marc dewey he definitely tipped off Palancio. He wasn’t there, and wanted Palancio to be the fall guy for the cops
he probably tipped Palancio but the bombs where done by underlings!
It’s never spelled out in the movie, but yes, it was Briggs. Or a middle man on behalf of Briggs.
Briggs definitely phoned Palancio. The bombs in Harry and Early’s mailboxes were by Davis, Astrachan, and Grimes. That they have no idea Briggs sold out their friend Phil Sweet shows when Davis almost collapses in tears at the start of the firefight
“Full scale military operations?” 2021 hold my beer! Can’t believe this movie is almost 50 years ago!
Made as US participation in the Vietnam War was winding down.
We should need many Callahans!

Good cast and movie is decent with original dubbing too
Hmmm. Love Callahan.
Great move Callahan!
Why does Harry have a different bullet to give to Briggs? He keeps the real one.
Why does he stop saying people are guilty until proven. 0:47 I never understood that scene. Did he say something wrong and changed his mind?
also in US it's INNOCENT until proven GUILTY
