The Dead Pool is a 1988 American action-thriller film directed by Buddy Van Horn, written by Steve Sharon, and starring Clint Eastwood as Inspector "Dirty" Harry Callahan.

The film co-stars Liam Neeson, Evan Kim, Patricia Clarkson and Michael Currie (reprising his role from Sudden Impact), and also features an early brief appearance by Jim Carrey. It is also the only film in the series not to feature Albert Popwell, an actor who had played a different character in each of the previous four films, as well as the only one to be recorded in Dolby S
