BEST QUOTES FROM
MAGNUM FORCE



HARRY CALLAHAN: A man's got to know his limitations.

---

CALLAHAN: You know those guys?

EARLY SMITH: They came through the Academy after me. They stick together like flypaper, you know? Everybody thought they were queer for each other.

CALLAHAN: Tell you something. If the rest of you could shoot like them, I wouldn't care if the whole damn department was queer.

---

SUNNY: What does a girl have to do to go to bed with you?

CALLAHAN: Try knocking on the door.

---

CALLAHAN: Nothing wrong with shooting as long as the right people get shot.

ASTRACHAN: Do you have any idea how hard it is to prosecute a cop?

CALLAHAN: You heroes have killed a dozen people this week. What are you gonna do next week?

DAVIS: Kill a dozen more.

CALLAHAN: Is that what you guys are all about? Being heroes?

ASTRACHAN: All our heroes are dead.

DAVIS: We're the first generation that's learned to fight. We're simply ridding society of killers that would be caught and sentenced anyway if our courts worked properly. We began with the criminals that the people know so that our actions would be understood. It's not just a question of whether or not to use violence. There simply is no other way, Inspector. You of all people... should understand that.

GRIMES: Either you're for us or you're against us.

CALLAHAN: I'm afraid you've misjudged me.

---

CALLAHAN: Your gun's out of your holster, Briggs. First time?

---

CALLAHAN: Briggs was right. You guys don't have enough experience.
