A great bargain
The four film favorites series took on Dirty Harry in this set. There are five Dirty Harry films, but the last film, The Dead Pool, is not really worth watching, so this is a great economical way to experience the Dirty Harry films.
Dirty Harry: Whether taken as social commentary or just an entertaining action flick, this one is a classic. 5/5
Magnum Force: While not as strong as the first, this is a worthy successor, if a little long. 4/5
The Enforcer: This one is where the series begins to feel a little tired, but it does have many memorable bits, including the holdup scene in the beginning and Harry's first female partner on the force. 3.5/5
Sudden Impact: Clint Eastwood's only Dirty Harry film as director, this is an enjoyable entry in the series, featuring one of the series' most famous lines, "Go ahead, make my day." The actress who plays a female rape victim in the film gives a poor performance in an otherwise decent film. 3.5/5...
A Good Choice.
My wife and I picked up a "Dirty Harry" DVD and liked it very much. Good entertainment, albeit somewhat violent! In any case, we enjoyed it enough to buy all four of these movies as individual DVDs and I reviewed each DVD for Amazon. You can look them up if you're interested in my opinions. Afterwards, we discovered this 4-pack of DVDs of the same movies. What can I say? I rated all four individual DVDs highly. They were excellent! Perhaps "Sudden Impact" was my favorite (5 stars) and "The Enforcer" was my least favorite (4 stars), but only by a slight margin. Anyway, this 4 pack is a bargain over purchasing them as individuals and they're all very entertaining movies. If you like Clint Eastwood movies, and Dirty Harry movies in particular, it's a good choice.

Great price for four flicks but lousy packaging (you get what you pay for)
Good way to pick up four Dirty Harry flicks in one shot for a bargain price, but the packaging is not suitable.
The films were each on their own DVD disc (a good thing IMO) but instead of using a four DVD case this is just a single disc case. Perhaps the inner spindle hub is a little larger than normal (I'm not sure) but in any case all four discs were just crammed together on that single spindle, rubbing into each other, and I was amazed that any of them were in OK shape. As it turned out three were fine but one is scratched up very badly.
Amazon is sending me out a new set but I assume it will be the same packaging with the same odds of the DVDs being scratched. I'm hoping that the one disc that is bad in the copy I bought is OK in the new set.
