Plot Outline: A San Francisco cop with little regard for rules (but who always gets results) tries to track down a serial killer who snipes at random victims.
Plot: In the year 1971, San Francisco faces the terror of a maniac known as Scorpio- who snipes at innocent victims and demands ransom through notes left at the scene of the crime. Inspector Harry Callahan (known as Dirty Harry by his peers through his reputation handling of homicidal cases) is assigned to the case along with his newest partner Inspector Chico Gonzalez to track down Scorpio and stop him. Using humiliation and cat and mouse type of games against Callahan, Scorpio is put to the test with the cop with a dirty attitude.

Goofs: We know about 16 goofs. Here comes one of them:
Continuity: In the opening scene, the assassin is tracking the swimming girl through his gunsights. The gunsights are then removed and the camera just shows the girl from the same angle. However, when the girl is hit (perspective unchanged), the bullet hole is below the right shoulder and has to be from a bullet fired from at least 90 degrees to the right of the camera.
