SUDDEN IMPACT (1983)

After pissing off (and killing) a whole slew of people at the beginning of the film, Homicide Inspector Harry Callahan is forced to go on vacation...to sunny Hawaii where he teams up with Magnum, T.C., Higgie Baby and...wait, wrong movie.  Harry only goes up the road a bit to some small California town.  But instead of finding peace and quiet the trouble just follows him. Even worse, he gets involved with a vigilante case where somebody's going around shooting dudes in the twig and berries!

Mediocre story that's kinda slow, average acting, car wrecks, lack of pretty San Francisco sights made me sad, creepy bad guy, flashbacks, a cute bulldog, lots of aerial shots.  Out of the first four Dirty Harry films this one is definitely the least exciting.

I can't put my finger on it, but SUDDEN IMPACT just never grabbed my attention.  Barely even worth watching, although the final showdown was exciting.

THE ENFORCER (1976)

Dirty Harry's back at it.  This time, besides the normal ruffians that he has to beat up and/or shoot to death, Harry is on the case of a group of hippy revolutionaries who stole some weapons (machine guns, rocket launchers, etc.) and go on a crime spree.  At the same time, Harry is transferred from Homicide for destroying a store and sent to Personnel.  Comedy hijinks ensue.  Not really, Harry still ends up shooting a bunch of people and even firing off a rocket launcher!

Funky soundtrack, rooftop foot chase, water cannon, Alcatraz shootout, explosions, 70's fashions and cars.  Interesting supporting cast including Bradford Dillman, George Cheung (who gets shot in the balls!), Rudy Ramos, Harry Guardino, Albert Popwell, Tyne Daly and Michael Cavanaugh.

Not as exciting as the second film, but still an good timewaster.
