Clint Eastwood’s Worst Rated Movie Was Still a Box Office Success
Clint Eastwood has always had a dry sense of humor as an actor, especially in the Dirty Harry films, which charmingly edge close to parody through his ability and willingness to poke sly fun at his incomparable screen persona while maintaining an air of competence and strength. Eastwood entered the realm of comedy and sheer silliness with the 1978 action comedy film Every Which Way But Loose and the 1980 sequel Any Which Way You Can, in which he plays Philo Beddoe, a bare-knuckle fighter and truck driver whose best friend is a cheeky, oversexed orangutan named Clyde.
