A trucker turned prize fighter, his brother and their pet orangutan have a series of misadventures involving the mob, corrupt cops, motorcycle gangs and pretty dames. Philo Beddoe (Clint Eastwood) takes part in a bare knuckle fight, as he does, to make some more money than he can earn from his car repair business. He decides to retire from fighting, but when the Mafia comes along and arranges another fight, he is pushed into it. A motorcycle gang and an orangutan called Clyde (C.J. the Orangutan) all add to the "fun".
Stars: Clint Eastwood, Sondra Locke, Geoffrey Lewis and many other fine actors.
A bit of movie trivia.
01: One of Clint Eastwood's most successful movies. So was its predecessor, Every Which Way but Loose (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.
02: A replacement had to be found for Manis the Orangutan, the original Clyde, as he had grown too much in the two years since the first movie.
03: In this movie and included on the soundtrack, Clint Eastwood sang a duet with the legendary Ray Charles, titled "Beers to You".
