Inspector Callahan looks so damn cool in those shades of his, that tweed sports coat and red sweater vest -- up there on that high rise, the bay folding out beneath him, as he bends and finds Scorpio's spent shell casing, using his pen to do it no less!

Yes many of these films serve as fascinating time capsules. EYE FOR AN EYE doesn't foreground its setting to the extent of say the DIRTY HARRY pictures, but it is such a distinctive locale that its impossible not to view at as an Shaun Anderson [The Celluloid Highway]https://www.blogger.com/profile/18066744649878418309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751360814489146754.post-14376461737318696752011-09-20T06:26:22.425+01:002011-09-20T06:26:22.425+01:00Great gallery, Shaun!

I mean, anytime someone gets a coke flute jammed up their nose as a form of murder, it certainly is absurd! Again, these posters are great. <br /><br />Will have to see an EYE FOR AN EYE, too, since you say it has great location shots of San Francisco -Greg Stuart Smithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751360814489146754.post-24915200730797908162011-09-17T14:14:07.651+01:002011-09-17T14:14:07.651+01:00@ Franco - thanks for the comment, CODE OF SILENCE...@ Franco - thanks for the comment, CODE OF SILENCE is one of Norris' better films in my opinion. Whereas INVASION USA is surely his most absurd. I haven't seen FIREWALKER and nor do I intend too!<br /><br />@ Ty - EYE FOR AN EYE is well worth a watch. Norris is supported by Richard Roundtree and Christopher Lee, some great photography of San Francisco, and an exciting climax.
