I agree, I lived there 20 years but left in 1995. The DEMOCRATS have destroyed everything that was good but that’s what they know how to do so well. It’s a terrible travesty.
True although writing up the paperwork at the end must have been difficult. Several dead motorcycle cops, one of them going off a pier and into the water with his bike, and Briggs killed by a bomb in an already mashed-up car...
Vehicles made with outstanding American know how with engines that would still work to this very day unlike the POS construction that goes into cars nowadays
Magnun Force was such a different movie about Harry and his character. He was way more chilled out and had wider scope on things around him. This is my favorite scene, because it brings lot of philosophical scope on the system and stuff.
In the world of Dirty Harry villains, Neil Briggs stands out in large part because of his supreme hypocrisy. For example, Briggs chewed out Callahan on numerous occasions for not going by the book, yet it turns out that Briggs was running a squadron of vigilante cops.
It wasn't a hypocrisy. He simply acted this was so noone would've suspected him. Evetytime i acted as a by-the-book police officer, it was nothing but an act. He done and said lot's of things but in reality he didn't believe any of this.
He was recruiting. Waiting for a signal that Harry was like minded. It's like when someone you recently met gets you alone and says something shockingly racist. They're trying to find out if you're on their "team." Stick to your values like Harry in those situations.
Throwback to something Briggs said early in the film. Classic screenplay trick, setup and payoff. *"I just work for the city, Briggs."* *"So do I, longer than you, and I never had to take my gun out of its holster once. I'm proud of that."*
@@emt5330 That one also comes back, last line in the film. It's damn good script work. It's one of Eastwood's iconic lines to me. *"A man's got to know his limitations."*
I remember when Hal Holbrook said some of his friends were surprised he was going to be in a Clint Eastwood cops and robbers shoot 'em up. Hal said, "Just once I wanted to be in a movie I know people are going to watch."
Aside from Japanese carriers blowing up, his performance as Joe Rochefort was the only good thing in Midway (although nothing like the real Rochefort).
I think this was the best of all the Dirty Harry movies, and Briggs was, by far, the best villain. It never once occurred to me the first time I saw this that Briggs was in charge of the vigilante killing squad, his veneer of being a by-the-book officer was extremely convincing. The most dangerous enemy is not the psychopath (aka Scorpio, The Dead Pool killer, or the leader of the terrorist group in The Enforcer), but the sinister figure within the system with his own twisted agenda.
hellsunicorn Hal Holbrook is wonderful, and perfect at playing corrupt characters. Like you, this is my favourite of the series, and Briggs is my favourite Dirty Harry villain.
I watched Hal Holbrook perform as Mark Twain, in a civic center when I was about 9 years old (which would have been about 6 years after this movie was made). It was an interesting experience. The guy was good.
What I've always liked about this movie--this scene in particular--is that although Harry's just as Dirty as Briggs (by modern standards), what he has that Briggs doesn't is a line. We all need a line and we all need to draw that line at some point.
2024 version: Harry: "Your gun's out of its holster Bri-" *Car crashes into large pile of trash and used hypodermic needles sitting in the middle of the street. Briggs goes flying through the windshield* Harry: "A man's gotta wear his seatbelt"
The screen writing by John Milius is the films real strength. Calm as Hal Holbrook " the only way you`re going anywhere is in a rubber bag ''. Seriously under-rated actor.
"I hate the system, but until someone comes up with reasonable changes, I'm going to stick with it." So true. You don't upend the system because of one problem.
Harry will bend the system, but not break it. Like he says in the first movie, "I see a guy looking to commit rape, I shoot the bastard." "When a man's naked and carrying a butcher knife, I figure he's not collecting for the Red Cross."
it's not just one problem, it is full of problems but as Clint said, and I totally agree, "until someone comes along with changes that make sense, I 'll stick with it."
Harry Callahan kills in the name of the law, when he goes too far, he willingly accepts the punishment of his superiors; a Vigilante kills following an often misplaced sense of justice and he/she answers to nobody, that's the DIFFERENCE
The onscreen chemistry between the two said characters are one of the movie's best qualities and that's why I find it immensely entertaining: full credit to both actors in the scene - Rest in peace to Mr Hal Holbrook (1925 - 2021).
I wish I had one of those Ford squad cars today. Talk about a muscle car...! Sadly, they took a beating so much more than the mustangs, chevelles and corvettes of the day.
I think this video is perfect for the mouth breathers who ramble about "no trials for criminals" in the comments of these clips. As brutal as Harry is, he upholds the law to best of his ability. Violence only when necessary, it's what prevents chaos
No, watch the whole movie. Briggs said earlier in the movie that he never had to remove his gun from his holster in the line of duty. Briggs was being critical of Callahan's shoot-em-up style. Briggs thought that not having to remove his gun from its holster made him superior to Callahan. Callahan wasn't implying that Briggs was only a desk cop, he was referring to what Briggs said earlier.
man i can remember waiting for this to get to the theater when i was a kid.people today have no idea what it was like to wait and be so excited when that saturday night came got your popcorn and milkduds and found your seat.....was such a good experience
Yes, I remember seeing this in the dead of Winter early '73. Super cold Saturday night, the opening credits with the 44 Mag taking up the entire huge screen, the drum roll, cymbals & horn music at the credits end when he slowly talks & aims the barrel at the audience -
People were way better drivers in those days than today. No backup cameras. no lane departure warnings or other alarms, and you had to be a boss to parallel park one of those beasts.
The line where he said executing a neighbor for a dog on his lawn makes me chuckle, most especially that Clint would later threaten neighbors with a gun on his lawn several decades later in Gran Torino...
Never mind it Gran Torino. This shite is happening in this country already. On the news there are dozens of accounts of these things happening i.e. shooting a neighbor bcz of snow shoveling on his property, shooting ppl lost in the country and end up driving on the wrong driveway by accident and shots fired at them etc, etc, etc.
I always loved this movie, and felt it was the best movie to show Harry Callahan as a detective, investigating crime scenes, getting the evidence, and figuring out what was going on. Loved that about it. The character's wits were really shown in this one.
“You know you’re not going to City Hall Callahan, the only way you’re going anywhere is in a rubber bag” So many great lines in this movie, Holbrook does a great job playing opposite Eastwood in this, good stuff!
I’ll admit I was surprised that Briggs was a bad guy, Hal Halbrook really convinced me that he was a pencil pushing rule follower and not one of the fascist cops.
R.I.P Hal Holbrook, brilliant acting in this movie I loved and I had to revisit this scene! I only just now found out from the comments section that he passed away after 95 long years of life!
Those LTD's were beautiful cars. My dad had a 1970 LTD metalflake blue and the ubiquitous black vynyl roof. Beautiful car, we loved it. He bought it brand new off a showroom. Unfortunately no A/C.
Harry: "I hate the goddamned system, but until someone comes along with some changes that make sense, I'll stick with it." Harry knew the system was messed up and really just didn't work, but even he knew that there were lines you didn't cross! Even if you commit murder for vengeful purposes, he felt that would make you as bad as the killers themselves.
Rest in peace Hal Holbrook. One of my favourite character actor's. His performances in Capricorn One, The Fog, All The President's Men, The Firm and this movie, are nothing less than stellar.

No you got it right. That's it. They wanted to show that Harry was a dirty cop, but not a "dirty" cop. He hates the system, but he's willing to except it and not resort to vigilantism.
The old Embarcadero Freeway. I used to take it to work when I was a coffee bartender at MacArthur Park in the Financial District. This was before anyone ever heard of a barista.
Probably the best of the 5 in the Dirty Harry series, although Sudden Impact is acted superbly too. Hal Holbrook - outstanding here and also magnificent as Lawyer to the Mafia, in The Firm
DEP717 makes a great point - what makes the Dirty Harry films so good is the mixture of the action scenes and the character interplay, notably when Harry works as a detective investigating the evidence and also interacting with his partners such as Reni Santoni and Felton Perry.
Yeah, turns out Neil Briggs, Lieutenant, San Francisco Police Department, was a very bad guy in charge of a gang of modern-day vigilantes. And he decided to take out Inspector Harry Callahan. Big mistake, Briggs. Very big mistake. The Scorpion Killer couldn’t get it done.
Clint Eastwood maybe the leading actor in "Magnum Force", it's Hal Holbrook who literally steals the show as the main villain - he certainly makes a good antagonist in the movie. The moment when Callahan says about the dog pissing on the lawn - it cracks me up!.
@@skyrizione8811 the first one is a masterpiece but for me I feel that the action scenes are better in Magnum Force and Eastwood is much more calmer and cooler in Magnum Force. The plot twist(Brigg turning out to be the vigilante leader) was awesome
The first Dirty Harry has to be the best, in fact THE best movie ever made IMO! The very dark plot-line, the way they captured the seedy side of SF, Andrew Robinson's phenomenal portrayal of the damaged killer and Lalo Schifrin's amazing music: cannot be beaten, and never will ... 👮🎥👍
The hardest part of being a cop is when the criminals are the ones you work with. It's always a betrayal when it's one of your own. Magnum force had the guts to tell that truth when nobody else would.
@Juan Sanchez Human nature being what it is, mankind will never be able to come up with a "perfect " system. That being said, our "system ", imperfect as it is, gives the people the best quality of life, which is why so many people from different countries want to immigrate here. So, if you think a Marxist system, as proposed by the BLM organization, would be an improvement, you are sadly deluded, friend. Just look at what life is like for the majority of the people in communist countries.
I just found out that when Clint Eastwood was reprising his role of Harry Callahan in MAGNUM FORCE (1973), he asked for Hal Holbrook by name for the role of Lieutenant Neil Briggs. How about that.

the chroma key on the car , is by far , best than most movies today.
I agree. This one had a really interesting story. I always felt that this story was stronger than the original. However, the original is fresh and new which is why many people like it better.
This movie's message is especially relevant in light of recent of events. Harry might be a hard-line cop, but as he says he's got to know his limitations, and he certainly won't value orders above the greater good. Just my two cents.
Also Harry advocates not taking the law into your own hands. Unlike these rioters looting and burning shops over a death in police custody where the officers involved have been remanded into custody and are awaiting trial.

The plot is ok if a bit stilted but it lacks the driven direction and brilliant cinematography of Dirty Harry.
Fun sequel but I wouldn't rank above the first film. Andy Robinson was a fantastic villain and you can't beat Don Siegel's lean, thrilling direction.

So true. You don't upend the system because of one problem.
The problem with this is that no one comes up with reasonable changes, which lead to the formulation of these extremes.
Still holds true even in....2021!

"Your gun's out of it's holster Briggs.....first time?" LOL
"Your guns out of ots holster, Briggs. First time?" Lol. He's outing Briggs as a desk bureaucrat.

The moment when Callahan says about the dog pissing on the lawn - it cracks me up!.
Love all Clint's movies. Best shows on earth.
And now 180 degrees in the opposite direction, just look at how glorious San Francisco have become...
Isn’t diversity wonderful?
A government of the criminal for the criminal by the criminal.
i love this conversation, as timeless as it is legendary.
Magnum Force is the best Dirty Harry movie
No way . The first one is the best
@@skyrizione8811 the first one is a masterpiece but for me I feel that the action scenes are better in Magnum Force and Eastwood is much more calmer and cooler in Magnum Force. The plot twist(Brigg turning out to be the vigilante leader) was awesome
I think its a tie between Dirty Harry.
The first Dirty Harry has to be the best, in fact THE best movie ever made IMO!
The very dark plot-line, the way they captured the seedy side of SF, Andrew Robinson's phenomenal portrayal of the damaged killer and Lalo Schifrin's amazing music: cannot be beaten, and never will ... 👮🎥👍
This is about the most respectable Harry’s been in the entire series 😂
The hardest part of being a cop is when the criminals are the ones you work with. It's always a betrayal when it's one of your own. Magnum force had the guts to tell that truth when nobody else would.
I love these movies where you can drive for half a mile without looking forward.

@@garethonthetube THE comment!
Until someone comes along with changes that make sense I’m sticking with the system.
My answer, exactly, to all those BLM activists and Antifa folks out there.
Yeah. That's how i feel. 2020...
@Juan Sanchez Human nature being what it is, mankind will never be able to come up with a "perfect " system. That being said, our "system ", imperfect as it is, gives the people the best quality of life, which is why so many people from different countries want to immigrate here. So, if you think a Marxist system, as proposed by the BLM organization, would be an improvement, you are sadly deluded, friend. Just look at what life is like for the majority of the people in communist countries.
We need Callahan!
He wasn't a neanderthal. He was way ahead.
Without (Harrys) we have what we have now....
Yep. He hated bad cops.
I just found out that when Clint Eastwood was reprising his role of Harry Callahan in MAGNUM FORCE (1973), he asked for Hal Holbrook by name for the role of Lieutenant Neil Briggs. How about that.
the chroma key on the car , is by far , best than most movies today.
"You're about to become extinct" Sadly that is true but not in the way Briggs was thinking
A Mans GOT to know his limitations..
I always preferred Magnum Force to me it's the best in the series
I agree. This one had a really interesting story. I always felt that this story was stronger than the original. However, the original is fresh and new which is why many people like it better.
Oh definitely.
This movie's message is especially relevant in light of recent of events. Harry might be a hard-line cop, but as he says he's got to know his limitations, and he certainly won't value orders above the greater good. Just my two cents.
Also Harry advocates not taking the law into your own hands. Unlike these rioters looting and burning shops over a death in police custody where the officers involved have been remanded into custody and are awaiting trial.
@@silvervalleystudios2486 Don't believe the media. They're only showing the worst parts, which is like 5%. The other 95% are actual peaceful protesters.
Tuna sandwich unfortunately all tarnished by the animals doing the looting and vandalism.
And guess what Skip ? Collateral damage is what it is , Your way is over , The only way to get justice and change things is to burn and destroy A few things , think I'm bulshitting ? How do you think America got its freedom from England ? Oh that's right They wrote the King and He said Sure absolutely you all deserve it , you have my blessing .........lol
Read a history book dumbshit !!!
grega1972 yep go on, hate on the ideals of the great Martin Luther King, you stupid racist.
"A man has got to know his imitations" 😎
