Absolutely the worst movie.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The acting in this movie is really good.
Mathilde the Guild
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

The dude forcing an extended kiss on a woman and the attempted rape in AWW You Can don't seem hilarious these days, but taking Clyde to the zoo with drugs so he is prepared to knock out a female so he can rape her? Funny movie and whatnot, but, golly.

Continuing my plan to watch every Clint Eastwood movie in order, I come to Any Which Way You Can (1980)Plot In A Paragraph: All the gang are back as Philo (Eastwood) is blackmailed in to one last fight, against an opponent who killed a man in his last fight. It was inevitable that following the success of a Every Which Way But Loose that a sequel would follow. It's another Burt Reynolds type movie, after reinventing himself as a tough guy cop, after the dollars trilogy, It almost seems like Clint was trying to reinvent himself as a Reynolds-esque good old boy. Thankfully it didn't last longer than a few years, as despite their charm, these are not some of Clint's best movies. Fun to watch every couple of years and huge money makers, but not good movies.I'll give the movie credit for not spending much time on the relationship between Eastwood and Locke!! Unlike Smokey & The Bandit 2 (released the same year) which focused too much on Burt Reynolds and Sally Fields failing relationship. In fact Locke is at her most appealing here since The Outlaw Josie Wales and her singing is much improved too.I'd probably rank this above the first movie, the final fight giving it the edge.Any Which Way You Can grossed $70 million at the domestic box office to end the year as the 5th highest grossing movie of 1980.

Every Which Way But Loose was bad enough, so, two years later, the producers decided to make a sequel. And Clint Eastwood went along for the ride.Every Which Way But Loose was Clint Eastwood's career low-point. Not necessarily the worst movie Clint Eastwood ever made, but it must be close to to it. No, a career low-point because he chose to be in it. The script alone, and the fact that his co-star is an orangutan, should have tipped him off that this movie was not going to be anything more than mediocre. He should have listened to WC Fields: "Never work with animals or children".The money must have been good.Quite silly, lowest common denominator stuff. Pointless, random, hole- filled plot. The whole aim seems to be to get to the next fight scene.Any Which Way You Can is more of the same. Once again, the money must have been good...

Crude, sophomoric, irreverent, silly, stupid, overly macho, etc., etc. - yet, an endearing and very enjoyable film for a lot of people. I wouldn't put myself in that category any more, calling it "endearing," but when I was a lot younger and more less discerning, I laughed a lot at this. I enjoyed this as much, if not more, than the original film, "Every Which Way But Loose." Now, it's a bit too seedy and I don't care for all the abuses of the Lord's name in vain, especially in comedy. However, this is an entertaining film. No one falls asleep watching the antics of the orangutan or Clint Eastwood and his fighting opponent or the irascible Ruth Gordon. The villain in here - Eastwoood's boxing opponent "Jack Wilson" (William Smith) was a good guy and the bare- knuckle was something to see!It's low brow stuff, but a lot of that kind of humor was big in the '70s and early '80s.
