This is the only valid sequel to 'Dirty Harry'. It still retained the tone of the original and forced the viewer to think about core issues around criminal justice, vigilantism. I would have ended the series right here.

I'd say "The Enforcer" is also not an entirely bad movie. "Sudden Impact" and "The Dead Pool" fall below par as a whole - but even these have their moments in some individual scenes. (For example: the coffee shop scene featuring the lines "Smith, Wesson and me" and "go ahead, make my day" are absolutely classic Dirty Harry, in my opinion.)

It's a shame that the car exploded like that. Lt. Briggs just paid for his annual CA Smog Test.

I love the way Lt Briggs pronounces "Harry" (following) 1:00. and then the way Harry walks foreword, as he knows exactly what will happen. "A man has got to know his limitations".

What I love is that Harry kills all of them in the end, pure vigilante justice, they tasted their own medicine.
