Movie:
A man is found brutally murdered near the Golden Gate bridge, having been shot first in the balls and then in the head. When another man gets found dead with similar injuries in a small town outside San Francisco, Harry Callahan's superiors see this as the perfect way to get rid of him for a while.
Dirty Harry goes out to investigate but when he arrives in the town the welcome he gets is all but friendly. It's clear that the local inhabitants know more about what's going on...
Sound and Vision:
The image has been completely digitally remastered from the original negative and compression errors are completely absent. Also some color corrections have been done but overall the film still nicely displays the time period of the movie. There are hardly any damages visible on this blu-ray and we can only conclude by saying that this is the best transfer we've ever seen of Magnum Force.
The sound originated from a mono track and has also been completely remastered. Additional effects have been added and overall this results in a very dynamic track that can stand next to many modern movies. Excellent job!
Extras:
Before we start with the extras we want to mention that there's no main menu and the movie immediately starts. You'll have to use a pop-up menu to set up the sound and subtitles.
Behind The Story: Commentary By Richard Schickel: Audio commentary track by movie historic and biographer Richard Schickel
- The Evolution Of Clint Eastwood: 25 minute feature where people from the movie industry give their opinion on Eastwood's career as director
- Trailers
Conclusion:
We can almost copy/paste the conclusion we've given with Magnum Force: "this is the best transfer of Sudden Impact we've ever seen and if you like the movie this is the version to get."
