Summary: One of Clint Eastwood's most successful films!!!!
Review: Like "Smokey & the Bandit" before it, this movie had the same kind of charm, & despite being set in Los Angeles, it had a down home southern feel to it, offered to Clint to give to his pal Burt Reynolds, Clint liked it so much he asked Burt why he should do it, Reynolds told him to do one, & like "Bandit" did for Reynolds, this one did for Eastwood, who stars as Filo Beddoe, a truck driver who falls for a local singer in a nearby bar only to discover that she has a questionable past, this is pretty much the plot that has a series of running gags where Filo pals around with an ape known as Clyde who basically steals the movie as does Ruth Gordon as Filo's mother who constantly curses Clyde, Filo's run-in with a local motorcycle gang is funny to watch as the leader has a look on his face as to how he ended up with such misfits, as Filo searches for love he encounters all kinds of misfits, in addition to the gang, he runs afoul two idiot cops, & bar room brawlers, a fun movie that was a change of pace for Eastwood, & featured his then-girlfriend Sondra Locke who has a secret all her own, if you liked "Smokey & the Bandit", you will love this one!!!

Summary: Good Film and it works in my Region 2 players!!!!
Review: One line to sum the film up - "This film is a classic"I have been waiting to get it for ages, and I finally bought a Multi Region player (We have 3 Region players as well). The film arrived, I watched it - and then decided to try it on the other players - and to my amazment it worked. I tried Any Which You Can in the Region 2 players as well and it worked. I got another R1 DVD and that didnt, so I guess its a one off of this DVD.

Summary: Poor "Clyde"
Review: Interesting that none of these reviews mentions the fact that Clyde (who was named Buddha by his trainers) was beaten so severely (for stealing doughnuts on the set) by his trainers that he died of brain hemorrhage. They replaced him, quietly, for the sequal. Primates are brutally dominated by their trainers in order to do the smallest actions (like smiling, which is a sign or fear in the wild). It isn't entertaining, it's cruel. Don't spend money on films that exploit animals. Grow up.

Summary: This Burt Reynolds throwaway redeemed by Clint & his cast
Review: Every Which Way But Loose is Clint's first foray into the genre of comedy that Burt Reynolds successfully minded for the better part of a decade from the mid-70s to the early '80s. However, rather than being a Reynolds throway scarely remembered now, the prescence of true movie icon/legend/megastar Clint Eastwood and his (typical) fine supporting cast lifts this god-awful nonsense into the realm of the inspired, like some of the best of the Three Stooges shorts. Who can ever forget the memorable performance of the inimitable Ruth Gordon as "Ma." Ruth deserved another Oscar for this one! The film also features Eastwood regulars Sondra Locke and Geoffrey Lewis doing their typical fine work, and the true star of the film, other than Mr. Eastwood, the orangutan "Clyde." Check it out! Four stars!

Summary: THANK GOD IT FINALLY MADE ITS WAY TO DVD!!!
Review: This is one the best (and most profitable) of all of Clint Eastwoods movies. It has everything, comedy (Ruth Gordon alone is worth the price) action, a great soundtrack, and yes Clyde the Orangutan, But never let this be seen as just a "Guy with an Ape" movie, that would really do it an injustice, it has SO much more to offer than that. An absolutely great movie. ...
