Trivia
Comic book creator Rob Liefeld admitted that the title of this movie was the inspiration for the name of his Marvel Comics anti-hero character Deadpool.

Errores
Director Peter Swan tells Inspector Callahan that he encountered Harlan Rook at every film screening or other public appearance, where Rook's comments showed that he knew everything about Swan's films. Rook also constantly pitched his screenplay to him. Despite this extensive contact and familiarity, Swan does not recognize Rook when he works closely with him on a daily basis as his special effects supervisor under a fake name.

That's the whole point, Swan is dismissive of Rook and doesn't consider him worthy of his time. It's not out of character for the arrogant Swan to not recognize the face of some special effects technician.

Enjoyable, But May Be Weakest of the Dirty Harry Series

The last and final entry in the Dirty Harry series. Here Dirty Harry Callahan (Eastwood) has gotten himself attached to a list called the dead pool. What that is is a game where a list is created of famous people, by the end of the year whoever has the most people dead on it wins the game. Harry doesn't like that his name has been attached to this morbid little game, but people are showing up dead and he must put his good cop skills to work.

This film does hit enough good marks to be enjoyable, but I thought once the villain is shown he may be the most forgettable Dirty Harry villain of all time. But, does star Jim Carrey as a drugged-out rock star named Johnny Squares. Is hilarious watching him lip-sync to the Guns N Roses classic 'Welcome to the Jungle'. Liam Neeson also stars as the director Peter Swan, who is directing the movie he is starring in. Patricia Clarkson also stars as Samantha Walker who sort of becomes Harry's love interest, which sort of works. Look fast though for the band Guns N Roses at a funeral of one of the victims.

Lalo Schifrin returns to score the music, but here it sort of seems like a reworking of the score from SUDDEN IMPACT and loaded with synthesizers.

Sadly, this was the last Dirty Harry movie. I feel they could have made one more with Harry either retired or one last case before he retired. I guess Eastwood wasn't given the right script or idea to make that happen. Anyways, this final entry is still worth a look.
