Short description

Dirty Harry Callahan returns for his final film adventure. Together with his partner Al Quan, he must investigate the systematic murder of actors and musicians. By the time Harry learns that the murders are a part of a sick game to predict the deaths of celebrities before they happen, it may be too late...

What's left behind the scenes

Jim Carrey was unknown at the time, and he was credited as "James Carrey" in the credits.
It is said that when Jim Carrey came to audition for the role, he didn't play any scenes from the film involving his character, but instead joked around, causing Clint Eastwood and his colleagues to burst out laughing, and that's how Carrey got the part.
Comic book creator Rob Liefeld later admitted that the title of this film inspired him to name one of the villains he created for Marvel – Deadpool.
