The Dirty Harry: Ultimate Collector's Edition (2008)

Warner Home Video will pay homage to Clint Eastwood and the films that gave birth to the modern action hero when the Dirty Harry film franchise returns to DVD and Blu-ray on 9th June 2008 with The Dirty Harry Ultimate Collector's Edition.

The Dirty Harry Ultimate Collector's Edition is a collection of all five Dirty Harry films, plus hours of all-new enhanced content, unique memorabilia, a film-inspired map of San Francisco and more - will introduce Dirty Harry to new generations of fans around the world. The landmark film Dirty Harry not only had an impact on society but also revolutionised cinematic crime drama for all time. AFI (American Film Institute) voted Dirty Harry the 17th greatest movie hero ever in AFI's 100 Years...100 Heroes & Villains.

Clint Eastwood redefined the genre of police films as well as a number of his later roles with this iconic portrayal of the straight-talking, cynical, unorthodox detective who found himself in perpetual trouble with his incompetent superiors. Harry did not operate within the frame of the law, his interest was justice. He hated bureaucracy and was deeply interested in the rights of the victim. Eastwood established the modern-day action hero and is credited with influencing and motivating a number of contemporary actors in the action/adventure genre. At the time of its release Dirty Harry caused great controversy, sparking debate over issues ranging from police brutality to victims' right and the nature of law enforcement. Dirty Harry, the film, set the tone for a number of subsequent police movies, in which the police officer is shown to care more about justice and the victim than in the rules of the establishment.
