* BrickJoke: For a brick tossed the previous episode: In the first part of the two-parter, Harris calls a stock-footage licensing company for stock shots of Manhattan as well as... um... interesting visual metaphors... for the [[SomethingElseAlsoRises climax]] of the movie. Along with the expected volcano ([[RippedFromTheHeadlines and the firm apparently can get him footage of the then-recent Mount Saint Helens eruption]]) and fireworks, he also asks for footage of "that cereal they shoot out of guns"[[note]]likely the [[https://www.hngnews.com/milton_courier/opinion/a-cereal-shot-from-guns-and-discontinued-by-quaker/article_6b08484f-2c2a-5b80-b065-4d7f726bc972.html recently discontinued]] Quaker Puffed Wheat[[/note]]. In this episode, the squad watches the finished film. As the movie ends, Luger out of nowhere remarks "hey, I use'ta eat that cereal as a kid!" They were able to get Harris the footage he asked for!

Meanwhile, Harris is busy completing his pornographic film, part of an NYPD infiltration of the pornography industry, a job that he started in previous episode "Movie: Part 1". The film is finally ready, and Harris screens it for his coworkers. It turns out to be an absurdly long and verbose porn film, as Harris, who got completely carried away, basically decided to make a hardcore porn art movie.

Episode: Season 7, Episode 10\\
Title: Movie: Part 2\\
Directed by: Noam Pitlik\\
Written by: Frank Dungan and Jeff Stein\\
Air Date: January 29, 1981\\
Previous: Movie: Part 1\\
Next: The Psychic\\
Guest Starring: James Gregory, Jay Gerber, Ralph Manza, J.J. Barry, Norman Bartold]
"Movie: Part 2" is the 10th episode of the seventh season of ''Series/BarneyMiller''.
It's the return of recurring character Leon Roth, a blind man, who once again is victim of a mugging. As it turns out, the mugger is specifically targeting the disabled--the blind, wheelchair users, and the like. Eventually the 12th arrests one Arthur Duncan, who confesses that he's been preying on the disabled because regular people are too dangerous: ordinary New Yorkers are all carrying guns or Mace or know kung-fu.
The second wacky case has Dietrich and Wojo bringing in Howard Fuller, who committed armed robbery at an accounting firm. Mr. Fuller wasn't committing armed robbery for himself, not quite--he is a professional fundraiser who was collecting for a charity called The Giving Hand, and he was having problems meeting his quota.
Meanwhile, Harris is busy completing his pornographic film, part of an NYPD infiltration of the pornography industry, a job that he started in previous episode "Movie: Part 1". The film is finally ready, and Harris screens it for his coworkers. It turns out to be an absurdly long and verbose porn film, as Harris, who got completely carried away, basically decided to make a hardcore porn art movie.

!!Tropes:
* AsYouKnow: For the second straight episode, Barney complaining to Harris about going wildly over budget (Harris had a $3000 budget but spent $22,000 of NYPD money) also doubles as an explanation to the audience that Harris is making a porn film as part of a police operation to infiltrate the underground porn industry in New York.
* InsaneTrollLogic: Mr. Roth, asked to tell anything he can tell about his mugger, says "he smelled short."
* MathematiciansAnswer: Barney sees Mr. Roth, a ''blind man'', flipping through mug books. He asks why, and Dietrich says "He got mugged!"
* MultiPartEpisode: Second part of a two-parter in which Harris writes, directs, and produces a porno as part of an NYPD operation.
