10/10. The best, and my favorite, of the Dirty Harry series. The chilling theme for the corrupt motorcycle cops is a haunting and brilliant melody. Clint Eastwood is one of the best as a badass in American cinema. I think this should be looked at a sequel that matches up to its predecessor quite well. If anything, Clint Eastwood will always be Detective "Dirty" Harry Callahan.

Harry Callahan: Nothing wrong with shooting as long as the right people get shot!
Trivia: The topless girl at the mobsters' pool party is future "Three's Company" TV star Suzanne Somers.
More questions & answers from Magnum Force
Answer: Because Davis and Sweet demonstrated keen interest, skill and knowledge of firearms (particularly of Harry's .44 Magnum) when they first met. They were flattering Harry, probably in anticipation of inviting him to join their death squad. Harry was impressed and asked for them specifically, even though they were rookies, but he didn't suspect them of being the vigilante killers at that point.
Charles Austin Miller
Yes, he did suspect them. In fact, he suspected Davis from the moment he found out that Davis was the one who reported Charlie McCoy's death. He confirmed his suspicion about Davis after he compared similarities between bullet that killed one of the victims and the one he purposely misfired from Davis' revolver during shooting competition and retrieved it afterwards. He explained it all to Early Smith right after raid on Palancio (and thus unwittingly sealed his partner's fate).
