Dorff , Milton Brown as M. Brown and Snuff Garrett as T. Garrett Sung by Eddie Rabbitt. User reviews Review. Top review. I think he's spending too much time with Clyde. It surprised the studio executives, even had them sweating about the release, but the adventures of Philo Beddoe Eastwood and his pet Orangutan proved to be a smash hit at the box office. Beddoe is a trucker who also happens to make money by bare knuckle fighting, and he's very good at it. Clyde the orangutan is a full on personality himself, and between them they wind up being trailed by vengeful coppers and a very incompetent motorcycle gang.

Plot is very thin on the ground, we are in fact viewing a series of events that are mined for comedy purpose - which totally work. Action comes by way of the punch ups Philo gets into, with Eastwood as always proving to be one of the better punch throwing actors of his generation, while Lewis shines bright as the best friend and voice of reason to Philo.

The love story sub-plot involving Lynn and Philo - and its subsequent revelations - feels a touch out of place, since this is such a chilled and relaxed comedy picture.

Which is the key, the makers know what they are doing, they are having fun and ask the audience to do the same. The public lapped it up and ensured that a sequel of similar tropes would follow. That also proved to be popular since it was more of the same.

Open the beer and popcorn and just run with it, it was never meant to be high art etc. Details Edit. Release date December 20, United States. United States. The Coming of Philo Beddoe. Warner Bros.

All in all though it is a pretty funny movie, but there is just something about the first I still like more. Wuchakk 28 June The story goes that Burt Reynolds was friends with Clint Eastwood in the late 70s and Burt suggested that he would do a serious cop thriller if Clint did a comedy akin to Burt's numerous good ol' boy flicks e.

Eastwood stars as easy-going truck driver Philo Beddoe who fist-fights on the side for extra money. His buddy Orville Geoffrey Lewis promotes unofficial prize-fights for him while his pet orangutan, Clyde, assists them. San Fernando Valley, CA, is their stomping grounds as they enjoy cold beer, country music, bars, women and the occasional fight.

While Philo is an expert when it comes to fights he's not so expert when it comes to women, particularly a little country and western singer, Lynn Sondra Locke. They're relationship ended badly in the previous film, but it may or may not be rekindled in this one. Ruth Gordon is on hand as Ma. Like the title blurb says, this is almost as good as the previous film, which IMHO is the best of the good ol' boy movies of that era.

Many like it better, so it's a matter of opinion. Regardless, "Any Which" is consistently entertaining from beginning to end and, while it's too zany to take serious even zanier than the first movie , the characters are decidedly human and there's a lot of warmhearted-ness mixed with the laughs and thrills. Since this is a sequel and plot threads are carried over from the first film, it's best to watch that one first to fully appreciate this one. The original orangutan featured in "Every Which" had matured too much and was possibly dangerous so they used a different ape.

Glen Campbell performs the title song at the end, which was a Top 10 hit on the country music charts. Lost in the 70's type of film, out of style. The biker gang gag fails in this one. Why would the guy go back with that horrid women from the first film.

Well I liked the heavy Clint had to fight in this one. Enjoyed the great acting of Clint Eastwood, Philo Beddoe in a very comical role along with an orangutan who is a companion and even goes to bed with Philo. However, when Sondra Locke, Lynn Halsey-Taylor makes an appearance in Philo's life, the orangutan is kick out of the bed.

Lynn was an old girlfriend of Philo and they had a break up in their relationship and decided they really cared for each other and a romance started to bloom once again. Philo makes a living doing mechanical work on old cars and at the same time gets into fighting bouts with other guys for knuckle fights for money. Ruth Gordon Senovia Ma Boggs gives a great supporting role and will have you laughing in stitches.

After the smashing success of "Every Which Way But Loose" Clint Eastwood made this funny sequel following the same formulaic approach, Clyde is back as drunkard, however with bad habit, defecate on a seat of police car, Orville as odd guy, Ma now on sexual interest, Sondra doesn't add too much and finally the neo nazi Black widows gang trying to revenge, other funny characters are introduces on the plot like Anne Ransey and his husband, Clint decides to retire of the fights, but appears an irrefutable offers from a guy from East, not less than Rainey-Dawn 20 October Philo Beddoe and his sidekick Clyde are back in another hilarious film!

This sequel is quite good and yes it's worth watching if you enjoyed this first film. Orville Geoffrey Lewis is back again to complete the comedy trio. This movie is just a great as the first movie -- both are full of knuckle-busting action and gut-busting laughs. I will recommend watching the first film Every Which Way You Can then watching this sequel film to get the full story. The films would make a great double feature manatee. Clint, Clyde and Geoffrey will turn any boring day into a fun filled afternoon.

A charming, and endearingly goofy follow up to the successfully hearty comedy 'Every Which Way But Loose ', which starred Clint Eastwood as cool-hand, bar-brawling Philo Beddoe along with his alcohol slurping orangutan companion Clyde. Slap-stick galore with the easy-going style of the original picking up the pace and having a variety of cartoon-like characters represented by a more than capably fruitful cast some who are Eastwood regulars.

They're here for a good time and it shows. However it's the returning John Quade who's a hilarious hoot as the leader of the haplessly crony bikers 'Black Widows'. Eastwood naturally comes across cool and collected in another winning performance. The drama here feels a little more spontaneous, busy and crazy with much more bare-knuckle, sweaty fist fights which are well-executed and a real infantile comical imprint. Streaming through is a heart-warming music score with an appealing country swing and open photography sharply frames some beautiful locations and accordingly gets amongst the action.

Pjtaylor 12 February All the major cast members return in 'Any Which Way You Can ', aside from perhaps the first picture's most crucial star. Manis the orangutan is here replaced by another not named in the feature's credits who just isn't quite as good. This shortcoming ricochets across the entire piece with most beats being revisited but never reaching the heights of the original.

There's still irreverent fun to be had, though, and the inherent charm of a monkey sidekick still remains so, despite the fact that it retreads much of the same ground and actually retracts some of the character work done previously, this is still an entertaining flick that provides a few laughs along the way.

The-Sarkologist 2 October I guess the thing that intrigued me about this film and its prequel, Every Which Way but Loose - which I have not seen is the ape. In fact Clyde the ape is probably what makes this film because there is little else to it that makes it all that interesting. In fact, if it wasn't for Clyde, it would be a boring movie about fist fights.

The movie opens with Clint Eastwood challenging a police officer who managed to beat everybody in his marine battalion, and Clint's reply is "I'm not a Marine" and goes on to win - really you can't have it any other way.

Clint is thinking of retiring, but the Mob from back east want him for a big upcoming fight. Clint is talked out of it so the mob kidnap his girlfriend and force him to fight. This is a fun little film, but really only for Clyde. Of course Clyde vanishes later in the film when we focus on Clint, but he is always around and up to his rather devious stuff.

The thing that makes him stand out is his obsession with crapping in cop cars, and of course you can expect him to do that a little more. Oh, and there is the try-hard bikie gang who are trying to get him, but failing from stupidity.

All in all, it is an okay movie, but nothing to really rave a heap about. 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!!

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. If you have seen the first one Every Which Way The 2 movies are not so much plot driven but character driven Its a relaxed movie with some good laughs and some gentle user friendly action. Any Clint Eastwood fan will enjoy :. It has goodwill to spare. The cast is very good. They all have their time to shine.

The laughs are still there after all these years. I first saw this movie in the theater. It never lets me down. Clint Eastwood returns as Philo Beddoe, the bare knuckle brawler who we last saw at a cross roads in his life. Suffering from a severe case of mid-life crisis, Philo is back on the mend. Fighting a few fights on the side trying to repair his reputation. One day, Philo befriends a big dude William Smith who helps him out when he was cut in a jam. Not to long after, a couple of men from a local Crime Syndicate ask Philo to fight their prize champion.

Will they make him an offer that he possibly can't refuse? A fun sequel that's superior to the first film. A lot of key players return: Clyde, those lovable losers The Black Widows and Philo's former love interest returns with a different attitude and look on life Sondra Locke.

I prefer this movie much more than the previous outing. One of the few cases where the sequel is superior to the original. Highly recommended. Another funny outing with Easwtood and orangutan "Clyde. Same story. Same fun. Gordon is precious once again as Eastwood's mother. Eastwood as a fighter! I have seen,since '93,some 13 Eastwood movies 4 of them also directed by him.

I began with Unforgiven ,in ' None the less,he does this comedy on his own. The movie makes some use of the prosaic Eastwood stuff country music,saloons;engine blocks;cars ,things that I can't say that I enjoy so much,but that can work for his fans. The Nazi motorcyclist who is more concerned about backing some good cookies,while hosting a bikers' reunion,is gross but entertaining.

What else? As an actor,Eastwood is fun;he's not Lemmon,he's not Widmark,etc. But he is OK. He never made any movie as good as Bronson's best flicks -with the debatable exception of some of the Siegel films- ;but he never was in movies as bad as Bronson's worst.

I actually slightly prefer Any Which Way You Can to the original film, as this movie is tougher, faster paced and much of the romance is replaced with more bare knuckle brawling. Pretty much most of the cast from the 1st film returns and is fast, furious and funny. The story builds to a showdown between Philo and a east coast brawler Jack Wilson.
