Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable
Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Tomm2 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.
jovana-13676 I can't remember the last time I saw a movie with such a healthy fist fight. They fight for fun. And then they have a beer. And you just enjoy watching. Clint's best friend is his orangutan, and the monkey steals the show. There's a gang whose members wear swastikas, and only look dumber for it. The finale is great - a fist fight marathon!
lost-in-limbo A charming, and endearingly goofy follow up to the successfully hearty comedy 'Every Which Way But Loose (1978)', 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. Geoffrey Lewis, Sondra Locke, Ruth Gordon, William Smith, Harry Guardino, Bill McKinney and Barry Corbin give pleasingly amusing performances. 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. Is it better than the first… I don't think so, but I never grow old of these fun, light-headed features.
ccthemovieman-1 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.
