Synopsis
Two features. 'Any Which Way You Can' and its prequel 'Every Which Way But Loose' which finds fist fighting legend Philo Beddoe (Clint Eastwood) attempting to live out a quiet backwoods retirement with his mother (Ruth Gordon), his girlfriend (Sandra Locke) and his mischievous orang-utan, Clyde. Some mobsters who routinely pit black widow scorpions against each other for kicks, however, want Philo to go into battle with a friend (William Smith) who just might be the only man Philo can't take down. This sequel goes even farther than the original in its uncommon combination of children's entertainment and bare-knuckle action. Also included are biker gangs, raunchy humour and bold sexuality featuring both the elderly and orang-utans. Stunt director Buddy Van Horne masterfully stages the final bout between Eastwood and Wilson, one of the most brutal sequences ever in a PG-rated film. Eastwood teams with Ray Charles for a memorable honky-tonk number, 'Beers To You'.

Simply on an entertainment level I'd give these two films five stars. However as either an ardent film buff or just a casual film watcher I have to be realistic. At best they are four stars and I'm probably being generous giving that. There are many better Clint Eastwood movies that are just as entertaining, especially amongst those that he directed.
Having said that both these films are funny in places, and they ARE great all round entertainment. Clint Eastwood and the rest of the cast do a fine job. William Smith as Jack Wilson is probably the other stand-out actor. He has the tremendous fight at the end of the second film. However its the incredible Ruth Gordon as Ma, who won an Oscar in 1969, and was aged 84 when the second film was made, that steals the film from the rest of the human cast. Clyde of course is the best actor!
Its worth mentioning that when the second film was made Eastwood turned 50 years old. Boy does he look good for 50.
The DVD boxed set is only cardboard, and the DVD's themselves have no extras (apart from trailers), but the films are widescreen, and as a two film set this is well worth getting at the right price.
great

If you like Clint Eastwood then you will love these two films. they are brilliant. Clyde the Ape is hillarious as are the Black Widow motorcycle gang, what a bunch of misfits but they are just so funny. If you havent seen these two films then you have missed out !!
Right Turn Clyde!

I have both movies on Ye Olde VHS videos both watched so many times since the early eighties that have worn out, so I am over the moon with this DVD release!
The films are classics combining humour and action, the 'star' in this film is hard to judge as Clint, (Philo Bedoe) Ma, Clyde (the lovely Ape) or the fabulous hells angel gang - the black widows are all brilliant!
In my opinion the sequel is the better film (but only just) I would recomend this film for anyone with a love for humour.
