Wayne heads Eastwood...
19 June 2008
i'm just watching this on the TV and apart from 'Dirty Harry' and 'Magnum force' it seems to be seriously influenced by 'Coogan's Bluff'(also Clint Eastwood)which was later turned into the 'McLoud' series for TV. It's the culture shock theme that's well explored in many films.Normally i would n't have made the connection ,but for the similarities between MCQ and Dirty Harry ,The Enforcer and Magnum force.The fact that they were all made within 5-6 years of each other is pretty telling as well. Wayne is well past his physical peak in this film and as i have stated before seems to be chasing Eastwoods tail./(tale)
