The Enforcer (1976) First Time Watching! Full Movie Reaction!!

The Enforcer (1976) First Time Watching! Full Movie Reaction!!

Comments

I do agree with Sudden Impact, Harry just felt like a tag-along in his own movie and I really do fault Eastwood for allowing that because him dating Sondra Locke at the time seem to put their relationship ahead of his career choices. But I do love The Dead Pool on the other hand, yeah it's the fifth one in the series so the formula is played out but it is still fun and like you said feels like a return to the first film with Harry taking one guy instead some group of people.

Pelham is one of my all time favorites. Great suggestions and I’ll second Serpico.

Korny

Tyne Daly was in Spider-,Man Homecoming!

Jason Dolan

Great list! I'd add "Serpico" with Al Pacino to that list!!

Joe Lazarus

Yes to All 3 !! Love Marathon Man

Florian Meier

Yes to The French Connection. 👍

Tim Raths

Play Misty for Me is another great recommendation.

Marcus Cato

Since you guys have enjoyed these classic 70s crime/police movies, a few other classics come to mind: Marathon Man, French Connection, Taking of Pelham 123. Definitely think you'd enjoy.

Marcus Cato

I don’t see why there wouldn’t be. All their other reactions make it onto the channel.

Tim Raths

Oh yes, the Eastwood monkey movies. And one of them features the classic country song You’re the Reason God Made Oklahoma.”

Robert Boyd

is an edit of this reaction going on YT?

The Dirty Harry movies are a lot of fun. Clint Eastwood was 46 when this movie was released, so about middle aged, probably exactly for him since he’ll be 93 in May. But he always kinda looks like an elder statesman. This definitely had a darker ending than the previous ones. The next one, Sudden Impact, has a great twist to it and I can’t wait for your reaction to that one. Cheers to another great and funny reaction.

Robert Boyd

After you guys finish the Dirty Harry series, I think you should check out Space Cowboys. It is another entertaining Clint Eastwood film.

Dwayne Holmes

It's disturbing how prescient Dirty Harry was back then. All the things he had a problem with in the first three movies are worse today: arming criminals, dirty cops, and domestic terrorism.

Erwin Quiachon

I vote also for "Escape of Alcatraz" !!!

Florian Meier

Yes !!!Totally Agree !! "Play Misty for Me" is a Masterpiece !!! I recommended it too and I'm Sure they will watch it ;)

Florian Meier

I Don't quite agree with you there, I see what you mean, the last two had a Bit of a Different Style (More 80's), but still the Dirty Harry Vibe ... Love all 5 Parts, Especially Sudden Impact !! And the Rating of 6,6 is a very good Rating ... Some Films on the Channel are fare Below that ... Even 6,3 is good !! For Example films like Armageddon had also a Rating of 6,7 ....

Florian Meier

Fun fact: In "Dirty Harry" when Harry tries to eat his lunch and the bank robbery starts, as he's walking / crossing the street, there's a movie marquee with "Play Misty For Me" in the background.

Miles E Coburn

Still crossing my fingers for Dog Day Afternoon. 🤞🏼

Brandon B.

Dumbest, best. Tomato Tomahto. The '80s weren't a high point for car chases in cinema. Other than "To Live and Die in LA", I'm hard pressed to think of a truly memorable one.

VivendoBem

True, although amped up by a thousand in recent years. Profit seems to be secondary to ticking woke boxes, even if it alienates a huge swath of the customer base (like that Gillette ad atrocity)

Aaron Barlow

Seeing Alcatraz reminded me of the great movie Escape From Alcatraz starring Clint Eastwood. I highly recommend adding it to your list

Mr. Chumpus

Just goes to show that there's nothing new under the sun. It's the same old nonsense.

Mike Tocci

If you guys like these Dirty Harry films, you ought to check out Play Misty For Me. It was Eastwood's first film as a director and he did a great job (He went on to direct many sucessful films, both with and without him starring in them). In Play Misty For Me, Clint plays a radio DJ dealing with an obsessive situation that puts his life and the lives of those close to him at risk. It's a great little thriller that pays off in some exciting and interesting ways. It an important movie in Eastwood's career too, showing his directorial beginnings. Can't wait for more Dirty Harry too. PS. More Al Pacino, please!

Mike Tocci

And thus endeth the last of the good “Dirty Harry” movies. The next one, “Sudden Impact” deviates from the formula quite a bit and, to me, is a vehicle for Eastwood’s significant other at the time – Sondra Locke. The last one, “The Dead Pool” is a return to the standard formula, but seems somewhat how the “Die Hard” series ended up. For reference, and because you mentioned it, here are the movie release years for the franchise: “Dirty Harry” (1971) Runtime: 1 hr 42 min 7.7 on IMDb “Magnum Force” (1973) Runtime: 2 hr 4 min 7.2 on IMDb “The Enforcer” (1976) Runtime: 1 hr 36 min 6.7 on IMDb “Sudden Impact” (1983) Runtime: 1 hr 57 min 6.6 on IMDb “The Dead Pool” (1988) Runtime: 1 hr 31 min 6.3 on IMDb

You misspelled "dumbest car chases".

Miles E Coburn

I loved Tyne Daly in this, she was so likeable. Even Harry warmed to her. I remember her from Cagney & Lacey.

Aaron Barlow

Pretty much all the modern woke diversity nonsense operates. Institutions and corporations kissing ass up the ladder for favours in return for pushing 'the political message.

Aaron Barlow

That's one of my fav quotes too, right up there with the one from Sudden impact

christopher brown

Great Reaction Guys !!! Love it !!! Really Can't Wait for Sudden Impact !!!

Florian Meier

Wonderful reaction to maybe the weakest installment of the series. Though, I will say, Dirty Harry movies are kinda like pizza--even the bad ones are still pretty delicious. And f you liked the car chase in this one, just wait til the 5th and final film, "The Dead Pool", as it has one of the best "car chases" of the '80s and, without ruining anything, certainly the most unconventional one.

VivendoBem

Not my favorite Dirty Harry film, but it has not only my favorite Harry scene, during the testing sequence where we're introduced to Moore, but also my favorite Harry quote ("Here's a seven-point suppository, Captain").

Mitchell Smilie

The Dead Pool is definitely my favorite sequel. But this is definitely an epic cop series.

Anakin Starkiller

I don't know if you ever saw it, but the actress that played Kate (Tyne Daly) was one of the stars of the hit 80s cop show "Cagney & Lacey".

Vwlss Nvwls

I was in my single digits during the 70s, but I remember enough, and movies like this make me miss a lot of things about the 70s. I miss the 80s even more though.

Vwlss Nvwls

Some fun Clint Eastwood that you two would enjoy, and I grew up on, are "Every Which Way But Loose" and "Any Which Way You Can"

Vwlss Nvwls

Oh Yes!!! Love Every Dirty Harry film, this is also a Great Film!! Love the first Scenes With the Heart Attack in the Restaurant and the car Scene ... The Next One "Sudden Impact" is a Classic and you will love it ... The Sugar Scene in the Coffee Shop is so Amazing !!! ;) Can't Wait

Florian Meier

So a van in the 70’s without flames would be suspicious. DiGeorgio his partner in the beginning was in the first 2 along with Lt. Bressler so there is a continuity. Mustapha played by Albert Popwell played in the first 4 movies as different characters.
