It’s standout, kick-ass, suspense and action-oriented, but it’s also
knowing, ironic and refreshingly tongue-in-cheek. Its numerous
witticisms and references are a joy to behold and this CD presents,
for the first time ever, the complete score in its entirety.
A true collector’s item.

The second "Dirty Harry" movie, "Magnum Force" concerns itself with a vigilante group that has targeted notorious scofflaws for extermination. When a prominent gang boss or drug-runner is set free by the airheaded-liberal courts, a covert group of "avengers" is soon on hand to blow the miscreant to bits. While detective Dirty Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood) is no great friend of civil liberties, he is dead set against wholesale murder as a solution to legal loopholes. Discovering that all the killings have been committed by a .357 Magnum (you remember Eastwood's paean to this weapon in "Dirty Harry"), Callahan suspects that his on-the-edge partner Mitchell Ryan is responsible. But the conspiracy is less transparent than that, as Harry learns almost at the cost of his own life. Co-scripted by directors John Milius and Michael Cimino, "Magnum Force" was followed by another "Dirty Harry" cinematic chapter, "The Enforcer." Also stars Hal Holbrook, David Soul, Robert Urich and Suzanne Summers (uncredited). 1973
