Those of you looking at this product and reading these reviews have probably already seen all or most of the movies and are considering buying this set because you like them. So ignore all the nonsense and ask yourself just this one question: Is there more value in buying this box set, or in obtaining each of these movies individually? The answer is indisputably in favor of the box set. Not just because the movies are cheaper as a group, but because of all the quality extras you get. I'm not talking about the cheesy poster reproductions and the silly police star, I'm talking about all the interviews and scholarly debates about the social impact of the movies that are included in the extras. By watching these you will discover for instance, why the studio decided to follow Dirty Harry with Magnum Force. Additionally, there is a bonus CD with an interesting feature about Clint Eastwood's career.
Dirty Harry is as popular today as he ever was largely because some of the same problems addressed in the films are still with us today: a justice system where it is difficult for the victims of crime to receive real justice, money and influence buying lenient treatment, rampant political correctness, and a press with an attitude that assumes the police are nearly always wrong when it comes to any high-profile case or any case involving any of the press' pet roster of the "oppressed". That angered the average citizen then and it angers them now. Dirty Harry knew what to do: you don't coddle the criminal, you eliminate him so he will commit no more crimes. That resonated with a large segment of the population and still does.
I like all the films to a certain degree but my favorites are the very topical Dirty Harry whose Scorpio adversary had real-life parallels in the Zodiac killer, The Enforcer where the rag-tag People's Revolutionary Strike Force had a real-life parallel in the Symbionese Liberation Army, and Sudden Impact where it is delightful to see Sondra Locke actually get justice by NOT being charged in the revenge killings of her rapists thanks to a technicality of the sort that usually benefits the criminal.
So, if you're wondering whether or not you should buy Dirty Harry Ultimate Collector's Edition, ignore the few naysayers and stick it in your cart. Its a set you'll enjoy for life.
