Eastwood plays trucker Philo Beddoe, a revered brawler who lives in a shack with his best pal's feisty, elderly mother (Ruth Gordon) and an orangutan, Clyde, who sips beer and thumbs his nose at authority. Philo is preparing for a bout against the wishes of his mother and his new love interest (Sandra Locke). If clashing with the women in his life weren't enough, he has to deal with his cocky opponent, gamblers, and a chopper gang who constantly harrass him. Fortunately, he does have Clyde backing him up as well as his trusty companion Orville Boggs (regular Eastwood collaborator Geoffrey Lewis).|This bizarre hick comedy was a surprise hit and spawned a sequel featuring many in the original cast. The country soundtrack combines the talents of Steve Dorff and Snuff Garrett and boasts a hit single by Eddie Rabbit. Plot Summary While working as a barroom fighter at the Palomino Club, hard-living truck driver Philo Beddoe falls for the nightclub's singer. When she leaves the club for greener pastures in Colorado, Beddoe follows with his pet orangutan Clyde in tow and his enemies, a motorcycle gang and an L.A. cop, close behind.   Features Trailer Subtitles: English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Thai Widescreen Version Enhanced For 16x9 TVs All-New Digital Transfer Audio: English All-New Remastered Dolby 5.1, French   Technical Info Release Information Studio: Warner Release Date: 2/14/2006 Running Time: 114 minutes Original Release Date: 1978 Catalog ID: 18594 UPC: 00085391859420 Number of Discs: 1 Audio & Video Original Language: English Available Audio Tracks: English, French Dubbed Available Subtitles: English, French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, Thai, Chinese Video: Color Aspect Ratio 1.85:1   Cast & Crew Geoffrey Lewis Beverly D'Angelo Clint Eastwood Ruth Gordon Sondra Locke Walter Barnes James Fargo - Director Rexford Metz - Director of Photography Joel Cox - Film Editor Ferris Webster - Film Editor Eddie Rabbit - Original Music Robert Daley - Producer Jeremy Joe Kronsberg - Writer    Product Image

If you're looking for an escapist comedy you have come to the right place. Clint along with a familiar cast faces among other things a rogue biker gang and the police. Definitely an entertaining movie for Clint fans and non Clint fans alike. Though the story can be kind of hokey at times, the movie overall plays well and how many other movies can you remember that has an orangutang as a costar.
