Rare Magnum Force 'endangered species' ads

Rare Magnum Force 'endangered species' ads

Here’s a couple of unusual newspaper ads for one of our favourites, Magnum Force (1973). Nothing that unusual about the actual images - however it’s the taglines used that I have never seen before. These ‘held over’ ads (5th Smash Week and 7th Smash Week) obviously meant that Magnum Force was doing great box office business, so perhaps those advertising boys decided to spruce up the tagline. Inspector Harry Callahan was now…
#1 on the list of the Nation’s endangered species! 
It's just a shame they couldn't spell Callahan correctly! You’ve just gotta love vintage advertising!
