    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      One of Clint Eastwood's most successful movies. So was its predecessor, Mies San Fernandosta (1978). Both, when adjusted for inflation into constant dollars, are still big box-office titles, this movie being ranked in the Top 200 grossing movies of all-time.
    • Goofs
      When the Black Widows are chasing Philo thru town, they end up passing under an asphalt spray used by the paving crew. Hot asphalt ranges from 200° to 330° depending on the mixture. Those temperatures would not only slow down the Black Widows, but would have caused severe, if not fatal burns. Nothing they would have walked away from.
    • Quotes

      Cholla, Black Widow Leader: Why me Lord? You made other men out of clay. Mine, you made out of shit.

    • Alternate versions
      UK cinema and video versions were cut by 45 secs by the BBFC to remove a scene of a snake and a mongoose fighting. The 2006 DVD release restored some footage via a different edit and is only missing 28 secs from the scene.

    If you're in the mood...
    At the risk of offending those who state proudly that you don't need to be intoxicated to have a good time; plenty of beer will most likely enhance your enjoyment of this flick.

    Silly, low-brow humor abound, idiotic character behavior and less than stellar acting from Mrs. Eastwood (at the time) and Mr. Cool himself (ever so wooden in his early comedic roles) but it's all good if you're in the mood for this kind of film.

    Clyde (the orangutan) is pretty funny at times, Geoffrey Lewis and William Smith provide the quality acting and those bikers are hilarious. The scene where they're pulled over for speeding and the cop doesn't have the heart to give them a ticket is a Hall-of-Fame moment in my books. Plus that fistfight in the end is impressive.

    Overall; "Any Which Way You Can" (and it's prequel; "Every Which Way But Loose" for that matter) isn't for everyone but these kinds of silly comedies can really hit the spot if you're in the right mood. The country music ain't all bad either.
