Dirty Harry’s at it again, not quite at the same level as the original movie but still very good.

John Scognamiglio

You’d think Harry would love to mentor rookie vigilante cops, but even their code is outside of the moral center

A surprisingly good follow-up to the original. Tackles the idea of vigilante cops interestingly. Best scene is the plane hijacking for sure.

Clint as Dirty Harry doesn’t get much more Bad Ass. Solid 70’s action movie

The best Dirty Harry movie in my opinion. Great action for its time. Loved the twists and turn turns as well.

Nothing can live up to the original Dirty Harry, but this first sequel is still entertaining and a solid film in its own right.

Björn Isaksson

All the Dirty Harry movies feels kinda the same... but it's a good kinda the same!

Good addition to the Dirty Harry series, worth a watch

Clint Eastwood as Dirty Harry is so BA. Awesome classic cinema.

Best of the sequels, still lots of fun, but is dated
