Can You Tan After Hair Removal

Calahan / Magnum Force (Ted Post, USA 1973)


Dirty Harry is back - and, surprisingly (this is my first sighting) is almost everything that made up the contradictory-bulky, fascistic character of the first part relative. Although he remains the one or the other gruffness for Selbstverstänlichkeit holds villains like the terrorists in the airplane scene or later hesitation the supermarket robbers without overboard shoots - he has suddenly himself in check, are classified under the system and keeps the Act high. Not so natural seem the killer gang that with their heavy machinery, the Sonnyboy-date and the shiny leather uniform embody the homoerotic aspects of action cinema, which are repaid in Calahan figure. Even on the contrary, a pretty Asian girl (which could be his daughter) is attracted to the bony quiet man and this is then - if it allows the work - including its obligations to love. Now we find ourselves in a very safe heterosexual universe. The drive over the highways, or the chase:

For me the film was still long stretches very entertaining, for he is always very exciting and can score with his long shots - And of course the often all too brief harmonious with music. In conclusion one can state that we are dealing here with a moderate action film product from which the ambivalence of the predecessor have been dropped. That's pretty bad.
