iWant – Cop Classics Clint Eastwood 2008 DVD Top-quality Free UK shipping

Triple bill of classic cop movies. In ‘Bullitt’ (1968), Steve McQueen stars as Frank Bullitt, a San Francisco detective who has become hardened to crime. He is assigned by over-ambitious politician, Chalmers (Robert Vaughn), to protect a key Mafia member who is due to appear in hearings that would catapault Chalmers into the public eye. But the safe house is ambushed, his friend is murdered and the witness is critically injured. Bullitt decides to search for the origin of the leak and the killers himself, despite Chalmers trying to interfere and shut down the investigation in a bid to keeping the hearings going. ‘Dirty Harry’ (1971) is the first in a series of films featuring Lieutenant Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood) – a right wing, bad-tempered San Francisco policeman, not averse to bending the rules to get his man. The maniacal ‘Scorpio Killer’ is on the loose and Callahan disregards procedure in his efforts to track him down, using his trusty Magnum .44 to dispense his own brand of justice. Finally, in ‘Lethal Weapon’ (1987), Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover) is a family man cop who is about to turn 50. Cautious by nature, he is less than happy to be paired with Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) when he is assigned to investigate Californian drug baron ‘The General’ (Mitchell Ryan). Following the death of his wife, Riggs has become a manic loner who no longer cares whether he lives or dies; an approach which causes more than a few problems as he and Murtaugh attempt to bring the General to justice.Synopsis
Join some of celluloid’s finest cops, featuring:
Bullitt:
In one of his most memorable roles, Steve McQueen stars as Detective Frank Bullitt, a hard-driving, tough-as-nails San Francisco cop. Bullitt has just received what sounds like a routine assignment: keep a star witness out of sight and out of danger for 48 hours, then deliver him to the courtroom on Monday morning. But before the night is out, the witness will lie dying of shotgun wounds, and Bullitt, a no-glitter, all-guts cop, won’t rest until he nabs the gunmen and the elusive underworld kingpin who hired them.
Dirty Harry:
“You’ve got to ask yourself a question: do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?” Dirty Harry provoked a critical uproar in 1971 for its “fascist” message about the power of one, as it also elevated Clint Eastwood to superstar status through his most enduring screen persona. Harry Callahan (Eastwood, in a role meant for Frank Sinatra) is a sardonic, hard-working San Francisco cop who can’t finish his lunch without having to foil a bank robbery with his 44 Magnum, “the most powerful handgun in the world.” When hippie-esque psycho Scorpio (Andy Robinson) goes on a killing spree, Harry and new partner Chico are assigned to hunt him down, but not before the Mayor and Lt. Bressler admonish Callahan about his heavy-handed tactics. Racing against a deadline to save a kidnap victim from suffocating to death, and unfeathered by the niceties of Miranda rights and search warrants, Callahan brings in Scorpio, only to see him released on technicalities. “The law’s crazy,” opines Harry ! in disgust, before taking it upon himself to ensure that Scorpio doesn’t kill again.
Lethal Weapon:
In Richard Donner’s thrilling blockbuster, two tough Los Angeles cops–suicidal Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) and family man Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover)–are teamed as partners in a highly unusual case involving a massive international crime ring which has its roots in Vietnam–a place they’re both all too familiar with. This film, with its fresh, energetic combination of comedy, drama, and action, managed to spurn three highly successful sequels.
