The set includes a two-disc special edition of the first film, plus a bonus disc of the “American Masters” profile of Clint Eastwood. Also included are all-new commentaries and featurettes on each movie, plus the new documentary, The Long Shadow of Dirty Harry.
The panoply of supplemental materials includes a 40-plus page hardcover retrospective book, a poster map of San Francisco tracing the Scorpio killer’s crimes, six collectible art cards, never-before-seen production letters and, my personal favorite, Harry Callahan wallet with inspector’s badge and ID card.
The Dirty Harry aficionado should by now be foaming at the mouth. For everyone else, you might want to ease into the series and check out the thrilling original first before exploring the uneven sequels.
Grade: B+
Dirty Harry Ultimate Collector’s Edition is currently available.
