"Blu-ray Edition Review"
I have very mixed feelings about this set. I love the Dirty Harry movies, but if you already own them, there is very little reason to upgrade to Blu-ray. The first two movies have almost no improvement over an upconverted DVD. They are very grainy and dark and even though these are 1970's movies they could have done a much better job restoring them. There is even dirt on many of the frames - NOTICEABLE dirt. It almost felt like watching it in a movie theater after the print had been used a few hundred times. The rest of the movies are better, but the PQ is still maybe a 3.5 out of 5.0. The extras that are included are "okay" but I wish they would have just left them out, given us traditional blu-ray boxes in a slipcase and dropped the price about $30 to $49.99. Even better would be to throw all 5 movies into a case like the Die Hard movies.
5.0 for the movies
1.5 for the PQ on the first two movies
2.5 for the last 3
3-4.0 for the sound quality.

"Blu-Ray Review"
Again Amazon is fkd up with posting reviews.
This set looks good on Blu-Ray.

"Fires on all thrusters"
If you're a fan of the Dirty Harry films, and you have a Blu-Ray player, this is a no-brainer. A lot of Blu-Ray transfers are disappointing, particularly in older films. However, Warner has pulled out all the stops, and every one of these films, even the oldest, looks and sounds utterly spectacular.

The original DIRTY HARRY features a lot of aerial photography of San Francisco, as some of the earlier action takes place on rooftops. The detail in these distance shots is staggeringly clear. The colors are rich, vivid, and bold, and the remixed soundtrack is shatteringly good for a film of this vintage.

The four sequels look equally good (the fifth, THE DEAD POOL, suffers only because it was not shot in true widescreen ) and all films are supplemented with a wide selection of new extras. The box even includes a personal message from Clint Eastwood, encouraging you to sample the new bonus features.

I watched all five films in less than a week and I'm ready to watch them all again. It's about time older films started receiving this kind of treatment in High-Def; hopefully this is a harbinger of things to come for classics films of the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Go ahead, make your day and buy this box.

"A box set truely worthy for Blu-Ray. Warner avoided the old "double dip" scam. "
I cant say enough about this box set. First off, these titles were viewed on a Sony XBR4 monitor. Playback was achieved through a Sony Play Station 3 using HDMI. A Sony DG910 reciever with Axiom Audio speakers were used for sound. My monitor was calibrated with the Digital Video Essentials disk.

Well, this box set will surely please any fan of the Dirty Harry franchise. The films have been completely restored. From the 1971 original to the last installment, The Dead Pool. Sound and video are outstanding. There is little to no film grain on any of these titles. All dirt,artifacts, scratches have been removed and cleaned throughout. There are some minor blemishes in the camera lense itself on a few occasions. You will be very surprised at the quality of this picture. And, as the movies progress from 1971 to 1988, they just get better. Colors a very vivid and sharp. Super clean from beginning to end. You will be amazed as soon as the movie starts at the opening credits. The picture really leaps out at you and looks very fresh. Flesh tones are right on, blacks are very, very good also. Not perfect though. Just a few scenes at night seem to fade just a bit. But not bad at all. There are many newer titles from the 90's and even 2000 that look far worse. There is no hazing when the camera pans. It is a smooth transition which is nice to see.

As far as the sound goes, it varies widely. The first title....Dirty Harry was shot in mono. The voices are clean and have no distractions to speak of. A pretty good effort, considering what they have to work with. The sound does get better as they get more modern. The shoot out scenes are the only time you really get a taste of the audio. Some explosions in The Dead Pool give your subwoofer a wake up call. But will not blow you away if you are an audiofile. Im not knocking it at all. Just dont expect a soundtrack with miracles. They simply were not there to begin with.

As far as the extras go, they did a very good job in this set. Lots of extras like documentaries, postcards and a timeline booklet going through the first movie to the last. There is much more though. When you consider buying a Blu-Ray boxed set at this price, you hope for a very good product that has been given a quality remaster and preservation for video and sound. This set has been taken care of. About as good as it can get. It wont measure up to "I Robot" of course. But......being made in 1971, it is a 5 star product for sure. There is nothing even close in quality out there. A must buy for fans and collectors. A+ on video and a B for audio.

"Amazing in Blu Ray!"
Not much needs to be said about these films for the fans who follow them.

The transfer is amazing. These movies look better than they did in the theatre. I know...I worked in a theatre as an usher when Dirty Harry was released.

Audio is superb. Dolby True HD continues to amaze me for its muscular soundtracks.

Eastwood would be (and I'm sure is) very proud of this spectacular presentation. The included trinkets are good but the movies are the real deal.

If you are a fan of the Harry series and have an HD TV and a good Blu Ray player, swallow and then fork over the 90 bucks to get the box set.

And once you have all of this set up, start up the Sudden Impact disc, crank up the volume in Dolby True HD and listen to Lalo Schifrin's amazing intro.

Get it.
