This is a terrific find. I visited San Francisco for the first time last month and I wish I had seen this site first! I introduced my daughter to Dirty Harry a couple years ago and we set our sights on seeing as many locations from the film as possible during our trip. We found some other resources, but none as good as this one. Great work!
Can’t thank you enough for this!! I saw Dirty Harry for the first time as a teenager in the late 70′s, and for some reason every time I watch the film I’m left at the end wondering what ever became of that quarry! It’s weird I know but there’s always been something poignant about that scene; tonight on a whim I googled the movie and found this! Thanks for the hard investigative work, great photographs, and for answering many questions!
All the best, Mark
Planning on a trip to SF this May 2010. I have been researching filming locations in the SF area, in particular the ones for Dirty Harry. Your blog is excellent, and I can’t thank you enough for putting your findings available on line. Can’t wait to check these locations out in May..I hope the weather co-operates.
Many many thxs.,

I’ve just watched this movie recently! Only wished I read your blog earlier when I was in SF but I’ll be keeping it in mind for my next trip there.
Love ‘Dirty Harry.’ One of my favorite movies, right up there with ‘Chinatown.’ And this is a great weblog! First rate, meticulously researched and well put together. A terrific resource for fans of the first and greatest ‘Harry.’ I’ll have to mention this site in my own blogs.
Many of the shots of the police helicopter flying over the Eastern part of the City are shot from the top of 1250 Jones St, the “Clay-Jones” building (a 20-story apt/condo building constructed in 1928). From this vantage, you can see the steel framing of the Embarcadero Towers under construction.
Love your website!
I was in San Francisco last August, but unfortunately didn’t have a lot of time.
Next time I am visiting from Australia, I will make sure I allow much more time – and have a list of your suggested locations with me.
Thanks.
This is an incredible website. Dirty harry is the movie which I watched more times than any other movies. as far as i know. I have been to Frisco twice(1995,2006). I went there all the way from Japan to visit the filming locations. I made it to the place like suicide jumper bldg., Kezar stadium, Golden gate Park, Peter & paul Church, forst hills station, City hall, etc. But I should have known this site before my visit.
Please keep up this site. I will be watching and looking forward to next update.
Thanks man,
From a die hard fan from Japan
Amazing website for an amazing film thank you.
