So far the 15 downgrading applies to the cinema re-release, though the DVD reclassification is bound to follow next.

Dirty Harry BBFC Reclassification (click on Spoiler Alert for more detailed info).

Got the sdvd boxset yesterday for Father's day Paul,the goodies you get in it mate are superb....

[Paul@TheOverlook]

I'm sorely tempted, mate, though the cheapest I've seen the BLu-ray set for is ?60

The Dirty Harry Collection is one of the best DVD boxsets which have come out this year.

I read on the web a while ago I think, that the end song played at the end of Sudden Impact you can't get on CD. I liked that song at the end of the film.

From what I can remember it was Roberta Flack's "This Side Of Forever". I have it on the (vinyl) Sudden Impact And The Best Of Dirty Harry compilation album which I think was given a limited CD release.

I'll have a look on eBay for it. Thanks for the reply and info.

Just watched Clint Eastwood's Gran Torino.What a cracker of a film!The performances were all spot on.'Big Clint' is like a malt whiskey.He just gets better and better with age whether it be directing,starring,or both.
The man is a legend.
Feel free to discuss all things Eastwood here.

I was worried when I saw the thread title, until I noticed the 'n' in Clint.

I agree. Gran Torino was great stuff. The ending seems to have split people equally but I think it worked.
