Viewer Reviews
The follow up to DIRTY HARRY is also a response to the critics who charged Eastwood and Don Siegel with being fascist. In MAGNUM FORCE the bad guys are a team of rogue cops who dispensing vigilante justice on the criminals of Sodom by the Bay (aka San Francisco). Harry's foil this time is Hal Hoolbrook as Lt Briggs and a team of rookie cops that include David Soul, Tim Matheson, Kip Niven and Robert Urich. John Mitchum (brother of Robert) returns as Frank degeorgio and look for Albert Popwell (the banker robber in DH, "I got's to know!") as a pimp with a new use for drain cleanerand Mitchell Ryan as a red herring. Not as good as the original, still an entertaining ride. Nice finale at the ship graveyard. Scripted by John Milius and Michael Cimmeno and with a score by Lalo Schiffrin.
