I would tape portions of the theme music from Dirty Harry on an old cassette tape recorder and listen to it because it mesmerized me. The theme at the closing of the credits starting at 16:52 is so haunting. A brilliant idea from the director Don Siegel to phase out Harry and his disgust with the system that caused "Scorpio" to remain on the streets with somber music. Lalo Schifrin is a legend. Thank you for this Soundtrack of the Mind.

That 'squeaking gate' sound effect in Scorpio's Theme adds something to the flavour. Throw in the melancholy female vocals, rhythm and blues percussion, light orchestral score to produce a very creepy yet spot on. There was also a fair bit of jazz for which Clint Eastwood is a fan.

The incoherent female voice and squeaking gate represented Scorpio's disturbing homicidal mindset with the increasing speed of the drumming, electric guitar, synthsizers, horns, and strings gradually driving his murderous impulses into insane speed.

Another Dirty Harry ultimate soundtrack which is overlooked is "Magnum Force", which in my humble opinion, is one of the best of the Dirty Harry movies.

[@petar.banovac]

Totally agreed. Magnum force is the ultimate Dirty Harry and has an awesome soundtrack. Unlike the first part, which has a typical good guy/bad guy dichotomy, Magnum Force is much more diffused and deals with less absolute values. And that great line, where DH replies that he hates the bloody system but there still hasn't been a better replacement - i bet Winston Churchill would sign these words.

[@UchronianKing]

'Magnum Force' is one of my favourite movies, and favourite themes.

[@briankane6836]

Gary Shellgren I have to totally agree with you about this. I come as someone who saw Magnum Force on a double bill with my dad back in 1973 and my dad did advertising for Warner brothers so I had an in to the advertising campaign. I still had problems with the right wing vigilante justice aspects of Dirty Harry but magnum force slightly addressed that issue. The soundtrack to magnum force is superior to dirty Harry.
