Every Which Way but Loose (1978)

Action Packed Comedy

I don't usually like movies with a lot of violence in them, but this one is great due to the amount of comedy in it. A good movie for all ages. March 16, 2008

Good Humor for Clint Eastwood movie

It's been a long time since I have seen this movie, but it is still as funny as the first time! January 16, 2008

"Well it appears that there can't be too many guys driving around with an ape. "

By now its unlikely that you haven't already seen this movie. This is one of those flicks like Animal House or Walking Tall that when you're flipping channels at 3:00AM its impossible to walk away from. Work be damned. But if you've been watching one of the butchered versions of this classic comedy on TBS/TNT or even AMC, then you haven't seen this movie in its full glory.

This movie is hilarious. There are so many lines in this full presentation DVD I'd never heard before including one from my Junior High days when Cholla, the leader of the wrongway biker gang refers to his boys as "GD morphodites" as they are being pummeled by a shorthanded trio of truckers. Not even the droll and ultra boring Sondra Locke (Clint, what were you thinking?) can kill the vibe of this nonstop actioner as Philo Beddoe wades through one bare knuckles contest after another. Geoffrey Lewis makes a great sidekick and very matter of factly picks up Beverly DeAngelo along the way. Ruth Gordon makes me laugh, I wish she was my grandmother. Funny funny funnneeeeeee!

The all new digital transfer and 5.1 remastering has to be seen to be believed. Most of Clint Eastwood's better films have gotten this treatment including Any Which Way You Can, Kelly's Heroes, and The Outlaw Josey Wales, among others, and they are all magnificent! 5 Towtrucks January 10, 2008

Right turn Clyde.

This movie is just plain full of fun! Eastwood stars as Philo Beddoe, a for money street-fighter who wins this incredibly cute Orangutan that goes everywhere with him. Philo's buddy, Orville (Geoffrey Lewis), arranges the fights and accompanies him everywhere also. When Philo and Orville each have a date, they realize Clyde (the orangutan) needs love too, so they take him to a local zoo. Philo meets up with a couple of lame biker boys in which he "destroys" their bikes after they made a comment about Clyde. As a person that takes pride in her bike (I've got more money into it than my car), you don't hurt another person's motorcycle! So Philo has the "gang" chasing him for extra fun! If you appreciate motorcycles, this movie has some well made older choppers, back when they had to make their own parts instead of buying them out of a catalog. Beddoe then meets Lynn Halsey-Taylor, a country singer, that he has fallen for and chases her around the country and more entertaining situations occur.

I was watching horror movies this month, in honor of Halloween and saw Devil's Rejects the other day. One of the actors in it, Geoffrey Lewis, also starred in this Clint Eastwood 1978 movie. This reminded me that I haven't seen this movie in a while and needed a good laugh. Besides that, my husband, who doesn't really like to sit and watch my beloved films with me, loves any Clint Eastwood movie and it was one we could watch and enjoy together on a Friday night.

This movie is great and takes you back to a time where you could just sit back and enjoy a good movie with popcorn and a beer and not have to be politically correct. Please buy this and enjoy it. October 28, 2007
