  • Cameo: [Guns N' Roses] the members of Guns N’ Roses (W. Axl Rose, Slash, Izzy Stradlin, Duff McKagan and Steven Adler) appear into the film in the funeral sequence. Also, the Guns N’ Roses song “Welcome to the Jungle” is used in the film.
  • In all of the Dirty Harry films, this film is the only one to have a Top 10 single used as a non original score: Guns N’ Roses’ hit single “Welcome to the Jungle”.
  • Permission was given to film in San Francisco, despite protests from citizens who thought Harry Callahan was not a good representative for the city.
  • A modified 1/10 scale 2wd Associated RC10 off road racer with an off-the-shelf Parma International 1963 Chevrolet Corvette body was used in the famous chase scene in which “Dirty Harry” Callahan is being pursued through the streets of San Francisco, California by a highly explosive bomb disguised as an R/C car. The “bomb” was driven by world-champion race driver Jay Halsey. The car was in fact was sold with an electric motor being a competition model, which for cars in that scale was at that time only sold and permitted to enter competitions with electric motors; the internal combustion engine soundtrack were added in post-production.
  • When Samantha Walker is having dinner with Harry Callahan, she tells about how she has researched his “colorful” police career and then she pulls out a notebook filled with collected headlines. One of those headlines read “Scorpio Killer Captured”. Scorpio was the main villain in the first film of the series, Dirty Harry (1971).
  • This was the only Dirty Harry movie not to feature Albert Popwell. He played a robber in “Dirty Harry”, a pimp in “Magnum Force”, a militant in “The Enforcer, and Horace King in “Sudden Impact”
  • When Molly Fisher body is being taken out, and then ‘Harry’ comes out of her house, it’s the same set/place that was used in Play Misty for Me (1971).
