RIP Dave.

Dirty Harry & Magnum Force were quite the movies.

He was taken off the case nine years later after acknowledging he wrote and mailed anonymous fan letters to the Chronicle applauding his own work.

Toschi’s stylish detective work immediately caught the eye of Hollywood, with Steve McQueen basing his character in the 1968 film “Bullitt” after him.

I also have read that McQueen’s iconic shoulder holster in Bullitt was designed from what Toschi used.

It’s fascinating to consider that Toschi was the inspiration for two of the greatest movie cops of all time, Frank Bullitt and Harry Callahan.

“Lieutenant, we must all compromise.”
“Bullshit.”
