Maxwell leads a group of men and women calling themselves the People's Revolutionary Strike Force (PRSF), who pose as a <a href="/wiki/Terrorism" title="Terrorism">terrorist</a> organization to conceal the true purpose of their criminal activities. </p><p>Inspector <a href="/wiki/Dirty_Harry_(character)" title="Dirty Harry (character)">Harry Callahan</a> and his partner Frank DiGiorgio deal with a <a href="/wiki/Con_artist" class="mw-redirect" title="Con artist">con artist</a> faking a heart attack at a restaurant before being called in to deal with a holdup at a liquor store. When the robbers take hostages and demand a police car so they can escape, Callahan drives his into the front of the store and uses the resulting chaos to gun them down. Callahan's superior, Captain Jerome McKay, angrily reprimands him for "<a href="/wiki/Excessive_force" class="mw-redirect" title="Excessive force">excessive use of force</a>", injuring the hostages and causing $14,379 in damages; as punishment he is transferred to the personnel department, where he is forced to participate in the interview process for promotions.

DiGiorgio and another officer catch them in the act, but Maxwell fatally wounds DiGiorgio with a knife, runs the other cop over with the van and kills one of his own followers despite her only having minor wounds. Callahan is transferred back to the homicide squad but is distressed to find out that Moore is his new partner. While watching a <a href="/wiki/United_States_Army" title="United States Army">United States Army</a> demonstration of the LAW rocket on a <a href="/wiki/Fort_Baker" title="Fort Baker">firing range</a>, Callahan notices Moore standing right behind the rocket and pulls her out of the way of potentially lethal backblast.

Although Callahan makes a deal with Mustapha for information, McKay arrests him and his followers for the PRSF's crimes, damaging Callahan's credibility. Callahan angrily refuses to participate in a televised press conference in which the publicity-seeking mayor intends to commend him and Moore for Mustapha's arrest; McKay then suspends Callahan and takes his badge. However, Moore informs Callahan that she will continue to help him in any way she can, and the two share drinks in a sign of mutual respect. </p><p>The PRSF ambushes the mayor's motorcade as he leaves a <a href="/wiki/San_Francisco_Giants" title="San Francisco Giants">Giants</a> game at <a href="/wiki/Candlestick_Park" title="Candlestick Park">Candlestick Park</a>, killing his bodyguard and aide and taking him hostage with a <a href="/wiki/Ransom" title="Ransom">ransom</a> of $5 million. Callahan bails out Mustapha, who gives him the name of a priest who mentored Maxwell; Moore then saves Callahan's life when Wanda (disguised as a <a href="/wiki/Nun" title="Nun">nun</a>) tries to shoot him in the back. The priest reveals that the PRSF are squatting on <a href="/wiki/Alcatraz_Island" title="Alcatraz Island">Alcatraz Island</a>. Callahan distracts the gang while Moore frees the mayor, but Maxwell kills her before they can get off the island. Callahan avenges Moore by cornering him in an old guard tower and blowing it up with a LAW rocket. Ignoring the mayor's profuse gratitude, Callahan abandons him and walks over to his partner's corpse as McKay arrives in a helicopter and announces to the deceased Maxwell that the SFPD will give in to all of his demands. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Enforcer_(1976_film)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col" style="column-width: 25em;min-width: min(25em, 100%);"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Clint_Eastwood" title="Clint Eastwood">Clint Eastwood</a> as <a href="/wiki/Inspector" title="Inspector">Inspector</a> <a href="/wiki/Harry_Callahan_(character)" class="mw-redirect" title="Harry Callahan (character)">Harry Callahan</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Tyne_Daly" title="Tyne Daly">Tyne Daly</a> as Inspector Kate Moore</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Harry_Guardino" title="Harry Guardino">Harry Guardino</a> as Lieutenant Al Bressler</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Bradford_Dillman" title="Bradford Dillman">Bradford Dillman</a> as Captain Jerome McKay</li> <li><a href="/wiki/John_Mitchum" title="John Mitchum">John Mitchum</a> as Inspector Frank DiGiorgio</li> <li>Bill Ackridge as Andy</li> <li><a href="/wiki/DeVeren_Bookwalter" title="DeVeren Bookwalter">DeVeren Bookwalter</a> as Bobby Maxwell</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Albert_Popwell" title="Albert Popwell">Albert Popwell</a> as Ed "Big Ed" Mustapha</li> <li><a href="/wiki/John_Crawford_(actor)" title="John Crawford (actor)">John Crawford</a> as The Mayor of San Francisco</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Robert_Hoy" title="Robert Hoy">Robert Hoy</a> as Buchinski</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Michael_Cavanaugh_(actor)" title="Michael Cavanaugh (actor)">Michael Cavanaugh</a> as Lalo</li> <li>Jocelyn Jones as Miki Waleska</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Dick_Durock" title="Dick Durock">Dick Durock</a> as Karl</li> <li>Samantha Doane as Wanda</li> <li><a href="/wiki/M.G._Kelly" class="mw-redirect" title="M.G.

Schurr, with the title <i>Moving Target</i>. After seeing <i><a href="/wiki/Dirty_Harry" title="Dirty Harry">Dirty Harry</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Magnum_Force" title="Magnum Force">Magnum Force</a></i>, the two fledgling writers decided to pen a screenplay of their own featuring the character of Inspector Harry Callahan. Inspired by the <a href="/wiki/Patty_Hearst" title="Patty Hearst">Patty Hearst</a> kidnapping in 1974, the storyline had Inspector Harry Callahan going up against a violent militant group reminiscent of the <a href="/wiki/Symbionese_Liberation_Army" title="Symbionese Liberation Army">Symbionese Liberation Army</a>. In the script, the militants kidnap and ransom the mayor of San Francisco. </p><p>After the screenplay was finished, Hickman visited Eastwood's <a href="/wiki/Carmel-by-the-Sea,_California" title="Carmel-by-the-Sea, California">Carmel</a> restaurant, The Hog's Breath Inn, and approached Eastwood's business partner, Paul Lippman, asking if he would give their effort to Eastwood. Lippman was initially hesitant, but finally agreed. Although Eastwood thought the script needed work, he liked the concept, particularly the priest with militant leanings and the portrayal of black militants, which was based on the <a href="/wiki/Black_Panther_Party" title="Black Panther Party">Black Panther Party</a>. </p><p>Warner Bros., meanwhile, eager to capitalize on the success of the two <i>Dirty Harry</i> films, had hired seasoned screenwriter <a href="/wiki/Stirling_Silliphant" title="Stirling Silliphant">Stirling Silliphant</a> to write a new Harry Callahan story. Silliphant wrote a script called <i>Dirty Harry and More</i>, in which the Callahan character was teamed up with a female, Asian-American partner named More. Eastwood liked the female partner angle, but felt the script spent too much time on character and did not have enough action. Eastwood then showed the Hickman/Schurr script to Silliphant, and Silliphant agreed to rewrite it. </p><p>Silliphant wrote the script throughout late 1975 and early 1976 and delivered his draft to Eastwood in February 1976. While Eastwood approved, he believed the emphasis was still too much on the character relationships rather than the action, and was concerned the fans might not approve. He then brought in screenwriter <a href="/wiki/Dean_Riesner" title="Dean Riesner">Dean Riesner</a>, who had worked on the scripts of <i>Dirty Harry</i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Coogan%27s_Bluff_(film)" title="Coogan's Bluff (film)">Coogan's Bluff</a></i>, to do revisions. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Casting">Casting</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Enforcer_(1976_film)&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Casting"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Recurring characters Lieutenant Bressler (Harry Guardino) and Frank DiGiorgio (Mitchum) reprise their roles for the last time in a <i>Dirty Harry</i> film. Bressler was Callahan's boss in the first film of the series; DiGiorgio appeared in the previous two, but dies in this film. A new character, Captain Jerome McKay (Dillman), was introduced as Callahan's superior officer. Dillman played a similar role, Captain Briggs, in <i><a href="/wiki/Sudden_Impact" title="Sudden Impact">Sudden Impact</a></i>. </p><p>Albert Popwell also returns as a character in this film, having played the Bank Robber in the first film of the series and Sidney the pimp in <i><a href="/wiki/Magnum_Force" title="Magnum Force">Magnum Force</a></i>. </p><p>The character of Kate Moore, Harry's female partner, went to Tyne Daly. Daly's casting was initially uncertain, given that she turned down the role three times. She objected to the way her character was treated in parts of the film and showed concern that two members of the police force falling in love on the job was problematic, given that they would be putting their lives in jeopardy by not reaching peak efficiency. Daly was permitted to read the drafts of the script developed by Riesner and had significant leeway in the development of her character, although after seeing the film at the premiere, was horrified by the extent of the violence.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEMcGilligan1999275_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcGilligan1999275-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEMcGilligan1999278_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcGilligan1999278-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Regarding Callahan's relationship with Moore, Eastwood stated:<sup id="cite_ref-youmustrememberthis_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-youmustrememberthis-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1244412712">.mw-parser-output .templatequote{overflow:hidden;margin:1em 0;padding:0 32px}.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{line-height:1.5em;text-align:left;margin-top:0}@media(min-width:500px){.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{padding-left:1.6em}}</style><blockquote class="templatequote"><p>I didn't see Dirty Harry going for a Hollywood-type glamour girl.
