I think The Enforcer was the best of the series.

That the one where the cycle cop launches himself off the flatttop into the bay?

I liked Dirty Harry best. magnum force was OK. Kinda downhill after that for me.

Though, if I remember correctly, you really don't want to ACTUALLY count how many shots Harry fires before the quip

I don't think I have ever seen all of them, but I do have a question about a Clint Eastwood film...

I saw this on, the end was some "armored" bus driven by some woman, I think the same one from The Outlaw Josey Wales.

which movie was that? It really looked dumb, and poorly / cheaply made like some low budget B movie. it's the only older Clint movie I think that I didn't like.

Oh and my fav: The Dead Pool. I know not alot like that one, but back then I was HUGE into RC cars, and the little black corvette over the RC10 chassis was sweet

The Gauntlet was with the bus.

The Dead Pool was good, but kinda far fetched with the RC chase. Altho, it was an Olds Cutlas. The RC car might have been able to keep up.

I still have to go with The Enforcer. Any film that can make me consider boinking Tyne Daly has to be good.

you'd be shocked what those RC card could be modded to do back then even....

the wheelie was not possible and the jump, it never would have landed level and kept going with that lowered suspension but thats about it.

the car I had cost about $350 back then, and I had an $80 motor in it with modified brushes, and I used special gearing.

I got mine up to just over 35 MPH paced by a real car, and I spent less than $100 and my own ingenuity modifying it. some of the guys at the local track were pushing high 60's on bicycle racing tracks in races.

That sounds about like the top speed of an Olda Cutlas.
