Quotes:
Officer Phil Sweet:
What kind of a load do you use in that .44?
Harry Callahan: It's a light Special. This size gun it gives you better control and less recoil than a .357 Magnum with wadcutters.

Sometime around 1980 my parents bought a VCR and the first two movies I rented were ENTER THE DRAGON and MAGNUM FORCE. And this is still, along with the first "Dirty Harry" and "The Gauntlet", my favorite of all of Eastwood's cop movies.
Director Ted Post directs like a more brutal, stripped-down version of even Don Siegal! He also directed the amazingly violent(for a G rated Film!) second PLANET OF THE APES movie. Any connection? Do we have a mad neglected "auteur" who gets consistently handed sequels to other mens films? Probably not but as those are the only two Ted Post films i've ever seen, i must say the man directs with a clipped military proficiency and is amazingly adroit at filming characters as they meet particularly nasty endings. I don't want to say it is almost the pornography of violence(because that would implicate me!) but this is a graphically violent piece of work. And I'm not saying that's bad! If you really want a good laugh find PAULINE KAEL'S review of MAGNUM FORCE.
