1
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 1: Hello everybody, and welcome back to the Shirley You Can't

2
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:19,280
Be Serious podcast. Jason beers to you, My friend beers

3
00:00:19,519 --> 00:00:25,760
to you. Now. It seems absolutely ridiculous that Clint Eastwood

4
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,440
would be singing a song at the intro to this

5
00:00:28,559 --> 00:00:32,159
movie with mister Ray Charles himself. It seems ridiculous that

6
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,000
Clint Eastwood would be singing at all. But as it

7
00:00:35,079 --> 00:00:38,920
turns out, he has had a long career of singing.

8
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: Bez youd time, he's he's a musician.

9
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:54,079
Speaker 1: He sang in Rawhide Reliates, got up on stage and

10
00:00:54,119 --> 00:00:57,759
sang a song. Yes, wow, greag he was in. He

11
00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:58,960
was in a freaking musical.

12
00:00:59,039 --> 00:01:00,719
Speaker 2: Ain't your Wagon, baby pinterr Wagon?

13
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:01,159
Speaker 1: Yep.

14
00:01:01,159 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 2: I mean he's a musician. But man, I told you

15
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,480
my ears have not stopped bleeding for this.

16
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:07,799
Speaker 1: It was not his best work.

17
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,359
Speaker 2: Well it's almost like he kind of talks it. Uh

18
00:01:12,079 --> 00:01:15,599
when whipped them local boy, Oh didn't we and we

19
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,640
bought him drinks all nice and when movie, you know,

20
00:01:19,359 --> 00:01:22,560
and for him to be singing with Ray Charles just don't.

21
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,920
We'll talk about what works with this movie here in

22
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:25,400
just a minute.

23
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,799
Speaker 1: All right. So last episode we talked about every which

24
00:01:28,799 --> 00:01:31,200
way but Loose. Yes, and today we're here to talk

25
00:01:31,239 --> 00:01:32,959
about any which way you can. But what we didn't

26
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,239
talk about last episode is what happened after the movie

27
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,599
came out. How was it received? And the answer is

28
00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:45,040
it was received poorly by the critics. Yes, the critics

29
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,439
hated it. Jean Cisco gave this movie two and a

30
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,599
half stars. Okay, do you know what the public did?

31
00:01:51,879 --> 00:01:53,120
What they bought tickets?

32
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:54,079
Speaker 2: Yes, they did.

33
00:01:54,239 --> 00:01:59,959
Speaker 1: This is at the time, Clint Eastwood's most profitable movie.

34
00:02:00,439 --> 00:02:01,079
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

35
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,959
Speaker 1: We're talking about all of the spaghetti westerns. We're talking

36
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,239
about all of the Dirty Harry movies that had come

37
00:02:06,319 --> 00:02:09,800
up to this point. We're talking about play Misty for Me,

38
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:10,599
all of that.

39
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,319
Speaker 2: When adjusted for inflation, every which way but Loose ranks

40
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,800
as one of the top two hundred and fifty most

41
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:22,759
profitable films of all time, all time. Let me say

42
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:28,639
that again, Top two fifty most profitable films of all

43
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,360
time adjusted for inflation.

44
00:02:30,439 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: That is crazy. Listen to this.

45
00:02:32,199 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 2: It the budget was five million, It made one hundred

46
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:36,439
and four million dollars.

47
00:02:36,479 --> 00:02:37,039
Speaker 1: It's crazy.

48
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 2: That's raking it in man.

49
00:02:38,159 --> 00:02:42,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is. So with that kind of success, you

50
00:02:42,319 --> 00:02:43,360
have to do a sequel.

51
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,439
Speaker 2: Absolutely, you got to do it right right.

52
00:02:45,479 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: And as it turns out, the guy who wrote the

53
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,960
first movie has a second movie that he is ready

54
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,879
to write, puts that one out. Fixes a lot of problems,

55
00:02:53,439 --> 00:02:55,719
does there every which way? But Loose is not a

56
00:02:55,759 --> 00:02:58,800
perfect movie, and they fix a lot of stuff come

57
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,800
second round. They filmed this movie in the summer of

58
00:03:01,879 --> 00:03:05,039
nineteen eighty and they do a different director and Clint

59
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,400
Eastwood takes yet another cue from Burt Reynolds and brings

60
00:03:09,439 --> 00:03:14,599
in to direct his stunt man. This movie is directed

61
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,840
by Buddy Van Horn, who was Eastwood's stunt double in

62
00:03:19,199 --> 00:03:22,919
a ton of movies he had done. The Enforcer directed

63
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,080
it as well. He knew what he was doing, and

64
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,280
so he brings him in. And the timing on this

65
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,439
one is tighter, the comedy is funnier. Okay, they do

66
00:03:32,479 --> 00:03:34,479
a lot of great stuff. By the way, Buddy van

67
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,560
Horn I mentioned earlier in our first episode about Walter

68
00:03:38,639 --> 00:03:41,520
Piggy Barnes being a sheriff in High Planes Drifter. Buddy

69
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,599
van Horn was yet another sheriff in High Planes Drifter.

70
00:03:44,639 --> 00:03:47,199
Two different sheriffs, but that is probably his most famous

71
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,879
acting role. But obviously he's done some good work directing

72
00:03:50,919 --> 00:03:52,599
as well. Okay, I wonder if him and how I

73
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:53,520
need him more buddies.

74
00:03:54,039 --> 00:03:56,439
Speaker 2: I bet they were. They had to be everybody. They

75
00:03:56,439 --> 00:03:57,599
probably did cocaine together.

76
00:03:57,639 --> 00:04:00,479
Speaker 1: They probably dated the same girl, had the same time

77
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,159
with the cocaine.

78
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,759
Speaker 2: Hey, I'll tell you what. Clint Eastwood and Burt Reynolds.

79
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,280
But Clint Eastwood in the late seventies, he had the

80
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,599
kind of clout to say to the studio, I want

81
00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:14,000
this guy directed me. Yes, I know he's my stunt double.

82
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,120
I want my girlfriend to be the lead. I want

83
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,199
all of my buddies to be in the movie. And

84
00:04:18,199 --> 00:04:19,519
we're gonna go on the road and we're gonna have

85
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,959
a great time. This is the beginning of things like

86
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,160
Kenniball Run. Yeah, where you get a bunch of friends together,

87
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,920
they have a great time. They all party the whole

88
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,560
way down and the chemistry shows on screen.

89
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,879
Speaker 1: Big road Trip, It's fantastic.

90
00:04:33,199 --> 00:04:34,879
Speaker 2: There's one other thing that you mentioned right there, and

91
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,800
we'll probably talk about it here in a minute. What

92
00:04:36,879 --> 00:04:39,360
they did with any which way you can and what

93
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,600
movies don't do enough of. In my opinion, they figured

94
00:04:42,639 --> 00:04:46,120
out what worked, they cut out what didn't, and they

95
00:04:46,199 --> 00:04:50,399
doubled down on the laughs and the fun. Why don't

96
00:04:50,399 --> 00:04:51,480
people do that more often?

97
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:51,879
Speaker 1: I don't know.

98
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 2: Okay, So this is set two years after Filo Bettal

99
00:04:55,519 --> 00:04:58,199
fought Tank Murdoch in the first movie, which we haven't

100
00:04:58,199 --> 00:05:00,720
even really talked about that he fights Tank Murdock. The

101
00:05:00,759 --> 00:05:03,040
whole build up of the movie is this big fight.

102
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: Yeah that he throws. Yeah, it's another bad decision. I

103
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,040
don't I mean, it's I don't know if they're taking

104
00:05:09,079 --> 00:05:11,399
their cue from Rocky or what the deal was.

105
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 2: There was a trend in the late seventies to have

106
00:05:14,319 --> 00:05:18,279
these sort of competition movies or sports movies where the

107
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,399
team or person loses and then ends up learning something

108
00:05:22,439 --> 00:05:24,360
about themselves, and that was just kind of the trend.

109
00:05:24,399 --> 00:05:27,199
So you got Rocky and you got the Bad News Bears. Yeah,

110
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:28,600
you got every which way but loose.

111
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I mean, I think the kind of the

112
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,720
idea in every which Way but Loose was He's hearing

113
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,360
all of the people talk about Tank Murdoch being washed

114
00:05:38,439 --> 00:05:41,720
up yep, and he imagines himself in that position, right.

115
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,839
He doesn't want to be the guy who's washed up

116
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,920
in a few years, like Tank is fighting these dumb

117
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,879
fights years later, which is a great lead in for

118
00:05:49,959 --> 00:05:53,759
this one, because in this one he's like, I'm done fighting.

119
00:05:54,079 --> 00:05:55,720
I'm not going to do it anymore.

120
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 2: Starting to like it too much?

121
00:05:56,879 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, like the pain.

122
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 2: None of that made it any sense to me, but okay, whatever, right.

123
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: So, of course, nice counterpoint to this decision to retire

124
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,399
from the bare knuckle brawling is there are some gangster

125
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,560
mafia guys coming from New York who have heard of

126
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,079
Filo Betto and they've got their own guy, Jack Wilson.

127
00:06:18,639 --> 00:06:22,160
Jack Wilson, what a great name. Yes, and they're like,

128
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,360
we can make so much money if we can get

129
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,519
these guys together to fight. And so when the guy

130
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,360
from New York shows up to talk to Filo Betto,

131
00:06:29,439 --> 00:06:32,000
Filo Betto's like, I'm retired, not doing it anymore. And

132
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:36,160
then he pulls out what twenty thousand dollars? Here you go, right, Okay,

133
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:36,639
I'm back in.

134
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking for mister Filo Beetto.

135
00:06:39,439 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: You're talking to him.

136
00:06:41,079 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 2: I'm talking to his feet, well.

137
00:06:43,079 --> 00:06:44,439
Speaker 1: The top half of him, can hear you?

138
00:06:44,959 --> 00:06:47,959
Speaker 2: Okay? So the interesting thing to me, Jack Wilson, we

139
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,720
talked about. He's played by William Smith. Yeah, he plays

140
00:06:50,759 --> 00:06:52,199
the cop in Rumblefish.

141
00:06:52,319 --> 00:06:54,639
Speaker 1: There's another guy who has I mean he's he was

142
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,920
acting first. He just passed away twenty twenty one. Okay,

143
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,600
he'd acted for seventy nine years. He started acting when

144
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,800
he was eight years old. And like some rely black

145
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,199
and white Frankenstein movie. Really yes, yeah, has had a

146
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,360
huge career. He was really well known in the seventies

147
00:07:12,639 --> 00:07:17,920
as Anthony Falconetti in the miniseries rich Man Poor Man. Okay,

148
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,000
we know him because we talked about him being in

149
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:24,319
both Rumblefish and The Outsiders. Yes, and he's in Conan

150
00:07:24,319 --> 00:07:26,319
the Barbarian, Yes, and Red Don.

151
00:07:26,439 --> 00:07:27,639
Speaker 2: He's the general in Red Don.

152
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:28,199
Speaker 1: You got it.

153
00:07:28,279 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 2: I didn't even think about that.

154
00:07:29,519 --> 00:07:31,879
Speaker 1: There you go. He is a great character actor.

155
00:07:32,199 --> 00:07:34,839
Speaker 2: First of all, he's muscled up. Oh yeah, and he

156
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,480
when he's throwing those punches, I'm like, dude, this guy's

157
00:07:37,519 --> 00:07:38,160
a hurricane.

158
00:07:38,319 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: Yeah you know. Yeah, he looked fierce, he did. And

159
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,040
his nose it looks like his nose has probably been

160
00:07:43,079 --> 00:07:44,959
broken a couple of times. Like maybe he really has

161
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,040
been in these fights. I mean, he was the perfect

162
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,199
casting choice for the Apollo creed To Filo Betto.

163
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a great scene where he's sort of spying

164
00:07:54,319 --> 00:07:57,680
on Filo. He's befriended him and so he's hanging out

165
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:58,079
with him.

166
00:07:58,199 --> 00:08:00,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, this subterfuge of hey, do you mind if I

167
00:08:01,319 --> 00:08:03,879
jog with you? Yeah? How far have we gone? About

168
00:08:03,879 --> 00:08:07,439
five miles? How much further are we going? About another five? Yeah? Wow,

169
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:08,680
it's a lot. Yeah.

170
00:08:08,839 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's kind of like when you and I starting

171
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:11,240
chogging together.

172
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:12,519
Speaker 1: It turns kind of.

173
00:08:14,639 --> 00:08:18,279
Speaker 2: But they go to the bar together and somebody yells

174
00:08:18,279 --> 00:08:20,759
at Linn Halsey Taylor, who has wiggled her way back

175
00:08:20,759 --> 00:08:24,920
into Filo's heart somehow right, which you know, okay whatever,

176
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,720
But he's like, why don't you get somebody that can sing?

177
00:08:27,759 --> 00:08:30,160
Which we as the audience are kind of like, yeah, dude,

178
00:08:30,199 --> 00:08:32,320
exactly yeah, and then.

179
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 1: But we're also thinking you shouldn't be saying that's what

180
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:35,519
that guy right behind you.

181
00:08:35,519 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 2: And Jack Wilson says that's not polite. When he said that,

182
00:08:39,399 --> 00:08:42,559
I was like, look out, dude, this guy's gonna kill you.

183
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, you might get somebody can sing her here. That's

184
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,399
not polite. I forget it.

185
00:08:58,279 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 2: Complaining departments open now, Sonny.

186
00:09:09,879 --> 00:09:12,519
Speaker 1: But again all just to sub refuse so that he

187
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,360
can see how good Filo Betto can fight.

188
00:09:14,519 --> 00:09:15,639
Speaker 2: Eats it like candy.

189
00:09:16,519 --> 00:09:20,279
Speaker 1: He likes the pain. I know what you want to know.

190
00:09:22,519 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did. You're fast and you like pain. You

191
00:09:27,279 --> 00:09:29,360
eat it like candy.

192
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,159
Speaker 2: But it's cool. I really like the Jack Wilson character

193
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:38,320
because number one, he's tough, yeah, but he's kind of friendly.

194
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:39,399
Speaker 1: He's likable.

195
00:09:39,519 --> 00:09:42,879
Speaker 2: He's likable. He's like, let's forget this fight, man, there's

196
00:09:42,919 --> 00:09:45,240
no point to it. Let's just call it off.

197
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,799
Speaker 1: And then when they have the fight, well, I'm not

198
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,919
going to give up. You gotta give up, right, I'm

199
00:09:50,919 --> 00:09:51,600
not gonna give up.

200
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,879
Speaker 2: No, your arm's broken. See, you need to give up.

201
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:59,320
It's not over. Yeah, the final scene. Let's we'll talk

247
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,480
those guys, the Texas guys and their girlfriends was another

248
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,279
bit of comedy gold for this movie.

249
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 2: It was so fun right, they're flying upside down and

250
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,039
the girls can't keep their moves in their shirt. By

251
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,039
the way, Julie Brown's character's name is Candy, because of

252
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,799
course it is like candy right now. Wait a minute,

253
00:12:38,919 --> 00:12:39,879
John Quaid's back.

254
00:12:40,159 --> 00:12:44,639
Speaker 3: Yep, Lord, you have given me these crosses to bear

255
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,759
and I will carry them all the way from Jerusalem

256
00:12:48,799 --> 00:12:50,440
to Jackson, whichever is closer.

257
00:12:51,039 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 1: But hear me, Lord, so why walk through the Valley

258
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:54,879
of the Shadow of Death.

259
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 3: I will chew on filet petals half for my last.

260
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 2: We have Ann freaking Ramsey in any which way you

261
00:13:06,279 --> 00:13:08,759
can do you know who Anne Ramsey is? When I

262
00:13:08,799 --> 00:13:12,240
say the name Anne Ramsey, what do you got for me?

263
00:13:12,519 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: The night was Saltrey.

264
00:13:16,519 --> 00:13:21,159
Speaker 2: One doesn't have any friends. She's Mama Frettellian the Goonies.

265
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: Yes, she's Mama Fertellian the Goonies. She's Mama and throw

266
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,120
Mama from the train. She's one of the homeless.

267
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 2: People in Scrooge, which we talked about.

268
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: Yep, go check out our Scrooge versus Christmas Vacation episode

269
00:13:32,159 --> 00:13:36,440
and she is in it with her husband Logan Ramsey. Yes,

270
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,039
who is also one of the bums in Scrooge. Yes,

271
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,399
that was one of the scenes that I remembered in

272
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,600
the hotel when her when she's trying to pack the

273
00:13:43,639 --> 00:13:45,080
bag and he's looking at her and all of a

274
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,120
sudden all he can see is the hula skirt dancing.

275
00:13:50,639 --> 00:13:52,840
I was like, that is freaking hysterical.

276
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:53,799
Speaker 2: Oh, it's so funny.

277
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: It was gross when I was eleven, but the day

278
00:13:56,039 --> 00:13:57,360
it's hysterical.

279
00:13:56,879 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 2: And Ramsey's butt Shagan got him going, and that is

280
00:14:00,519 --> 00:14:03,159
her actual real life husband. I wanted to bring up

281
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,240
Michael Talbot to you. He plays Officer Morgan. So at

282
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,639
the beginning of the movie, there's a really funny scene

283
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,240
looks like Chips California Highway Patrol. They're riding their motorcycles

284
00:14:12,279 --> 00:14:15,120
because they're going to a fight, and a semi comes

285
00:14:15,159 --> 00:14:17,879
up behind him and he pulls his horn and it

286
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,320
you can tell it scares the crap out of those guys,

287
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:25,200
like legit scares them. Yes, Michael Talbot plays Officer Morgan.

288
00:14:25,639 --> 00:14:31,440
He's Swytech on Miami Vice. Oh wow, there's like Crockett

289
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,960
and Tubs and then there's swy Tech and Zito. They're

290
00:14:34,039 --> 00:14:35,000
kind of the backup guys.

291
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:36,799
Speaker 1: So is he the guy who you see again at

292
00:14:36,799 --> 00:14:45,919
the very end of the movie Clyde onward. Oh that's fantastic.

293
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 2: He gets decked by Clyde at the very end of their.

294
00:14:48,039 --> 00:14:51,519
Speaker 1: How did we go through the entire first episode and

295
00:14:51,679 --> 00:14:54,080
not say right, turn Clyde?

296
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,879
Speaker 2: We did it because it wasn't in every which way

297
00:14:56,919 --> 00:14:57,360
but loose.

298
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,879
Speaker 1: Can you believe it? I know right that incredibly fam

299
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,200
miss line was not in the first movie. It did

300
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,639
not come along until the second movie. And once again

301
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,559
they took that comedy up a notch and knocked all

302
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:12,320
those guys down like Domino's h I was freaking hysterical.

303
00:15:12,399 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 2: If you've never seen either of these two movies, I

304
00:15:14,759 --> 00:15:16,960
would say there's at least a decent chance that you've

305
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,080
heard the term right Turn, Clyde.

306
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:24,919
Speaker 1: Right Turn and Clyde.

307
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 2: By the way, my daughter was walking through the room

308
00:15:27,519 --> 00:15:30,360
and she could care less about movies from before she

309
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,720
was born, right, But I said, no, wait, you gotta

310
00:15:32,759 --> 00:15:35,960
watch this part. The motorcycle gang pulls up. They're giving

311
00:15:36,039 --> 00:15:38,200
Filo Betto a hard time. Yeah, you know what we're

312
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,000
gonna do to you, Filo. You know all this, And

313
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,759
and finally he's had enough and he's like whatever, right

314
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:48,200
turn Clyde, and the monkey goes and he punches Chola

315
00:15:48,519 --> 00:15:51,399
and then they all Domino over and Ava thought it

316
00:15:51,519 --> 00:15:52,600
was hilarious.

317
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: That's great. I tried to watch this movie with Caleb. Yeah,

318
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,320
we get to that part and I'm like giddy, I'm

319
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:02,639
ready and all of a sudd and Caleb's like, you're

320
00:16:02,679 --> 00:16:06,240
flipping them off and you're talking through it. Why are

321
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,559
you talking through He's like what. I'm like, dude, you

322
00:16:09,679 --> 00:16:10,159
missed it.

323
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:11,559
Speaker 2: Oh he messed it up.

324
00:16:11,759 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: Yes, so I had rewind and on the rewind, it's

325
00:16:15,279 --> 00:16:16,559
not as funny. That's funny.

326
00:16:16,639 --> 00:16:19,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, do you I've got a couple of funny

327
00:16:19,519 --> 00:16:21,559
moments that I want to talk to you about. I've

328
00:16:21,559 --> 00:16:23,519
actually also got a couple of serious moments that I

329
00:16:23,559 --> 00:16:24,639
want to talk to you about. And I think the

330
00:16:24,679 --> 00:16:28,039
balance of these two things is what really works in

331
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,519
this movie. Okay, So at the beginning of the movie,

332
00:16:30,759 --> 00:16:35,120
Clint Eastwood is in this bare knuckled brawler fight with

333
00:16:35,399 --> 00:16:38,320
the guy who beat up all the Marines, right, and

334
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,320
they have this running joke where he's beat all the

335
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,720
Marines and Clint's like, I ain't a marine. And so

336
00:16:43,919 --> 00:16:46,840
there's this great fight going on. The guy is so sunburned,

337
00:16:46,879 --> 00:16:48,600
Like every time I watch the movie, I'm like, dude,

338
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,759
you're so sunburned. Help this dude out with some sunblock.

339
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,600
But during the fight, I mean, it's serious, he's trying,

340
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,879
you know. They're beating each other up and there's a

341
00:16:57,879 --> 00:17:00,960
couple of girls in their cheering yay and they're hopping

342
00:17:01,039 --> 00:17:03,399
up and down and Clint gets distracted because their mob's

343
00:17:03,399 --> 00:17:05,599
are bouncing up and down and he gets decked.

344
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 1: It was the seventies, they were not a fan of

345
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:08,759
bras back and then no, they weren't.

346
00:17:08,799 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 2: And while this is going on, Clyde is roaming around

347
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,000
and he gets into a cop car and takes the dump,

348
00:17:14,079 --> 00:17:17,440
takes a dumb in the cop car. So just that

349
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,920
scene just really worked for me. Right, it's funny. Then

350
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,640
you've got Chola saying the great lines like the whole

351
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,039
time and why mey lord.

352
00:17:25,519 --> 00:17:33,319
Speaker 3: Lord, I mean you made other men out of clay Mine.

353
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:39,519
Speaker 1: When the bikers show up after they have been detarred, we.

354
00:17:39,559 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 2: Got to talk about the tar scene, but I mean

355
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,559
that whole scene is brilliant.

356
00:17:44,039 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: I mean it beats the chase scene from the first movie,

357
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,880
which was not bad, but it definitely takes all.

358
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,079
Speaker 2: It's just everything's better, right.

359
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: And yeah, they go through the tar and they're in

360
00:17:53,559 --> 00:17:57,440
the alleyway. They've got him out numbered getting and then

361
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:58,400
they all freeze.

362
00:17:58,559 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, because they got tar pulls.

363
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,039
Speaker 1: All are has hardened and they all fall on each

364
00:18:03,079 --> 00:18:07,559
other like statues. And then Bilo Betta does the right thing.

365
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,079
He takes him to the hospital and has them detarred.

366
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,839
And when they show up and they've got no hair

367
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,599
at all anymore, and so what they have to do

368
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,839
he has to pass out the wigs. I'm like this,

369
00:18:21,839 --> 00:18:24,119
and I when I when I am eleven years old,

370
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,559
I'm watching this. I'm like, this is comedy, freaking old comedy.

371
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 2: Guilt well, and as an adult, when they they all

372
00:18:30,759 --> 00:18:33,319
freeze up because they got tar all over themselves and

373
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,000
they fall over and Chola is face down and he

374
00:18:37,079 --> 00:18:40,200
keeps saying, you're paying for that betto it's very Yosemite,

375
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,720
Samloe right right, And in fact, there's a lot of

376
00:18:42,759 --> 00:18:45,319
sort of looney tunes and references I think in this movie.

377
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:51,160
But and Filo says to lynn Linn Halsey Taylor can't

378
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,480
leave him here. The dogs a piss on him. Ain't

379
00:18:53,519 --> 00:18:56,319
fair to the dogs. And then you don't pay for

380
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:56,920
that battle.

381
00:18:58,279 --> 00:19:01,039
Speaker 1: We mentioned our last episode that the ape on this one,

382
00:19:01,079 --> 00:19:04,039
the Orangutang, is a different actor than the original Clyde.

383
00:19:04,079 --> 00:19:08,599
Original Clyde was an ape named Manus or Manis manus H,

384
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,359
an ape named Manis and this one is an ape

385
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:16,200
named Buddha. Yes, and apparently Buddha had been involved in

386
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,160
a movie where he would he had been trained to wrestle,

387
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,359
And so Sondra Locke had no scenes with Clyde in

388
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,559
the first movie, but she had a bunch of scenes

389
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,200
and a lot of them involved him kissing her. And

390
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,160
she said he would grab me by the back of

391
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,680
the neck for the kiss and when I tried to

392
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,839
pull away, he would put the wrestling move on me,

393
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,160
and I was getting a little panic.

394
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 2: Yes, we are kissing. You don't understand you are kissing me.

395
00:19:43,759 --> 00:19:47,279
The strip poker scenes with Fat Zach the Upside Down Jet,

396
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,160
there's a scene I heard Barry Corbyn talking about this.

397
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,039
It's like his first day working with Clint Eastwood, like

398
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:54,880
the first morning of the first day.

399
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 1: Oh wow.

400
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 2: And he's trailing him in a car because he's supposed

401
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,960
to be kind of spying on him, and I was jogging,

402
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,960
he's working out, and all of a sudden he whips around,

403
00:20:04,319 --> 00:20:08,079
comes over and punches out the window. Okay, right, so

404
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,839
clinics Wood punches out the window and when he did,

405
00:20:11,039 --> 00:20:15,279
he punched Barry Kordman in the face. And he still

406
00:20:15,319 --> 00:20:17,279
had to keep going because he got this fake glass

407
00:20:17,319 --> 00:20:19,160
and they can't. They don't have time for reshoots, they

408
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,079
you know, all that stuff. So he he yanks him

409
00:20:22,079 --> 00:20:24,799
out of the car and he's like, were you crazy?

410
00:20:24,839 --> 00:20:25,519
Speaker 1: You just push them?

411
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 2: Let me see your hand, wait with your fringers. We

412
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,200
talked about that in our War Games episode. Do you

413
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,960
see the way he just yanked me out of What

414
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,039
are you doing? Stand and get back to jogging. That

415
00:20:36,079 --> 00:20:37,440
whole state is great.

416
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: It is fantastic. This is another thing that they did right.

417
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,680
And this one I think had to be inspirational for

418
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,440
Burt Reynolds movies to come because this is nineteen eighty right,

419
00:20:47,759 --> 00:20:51,680
But they have this huge like everybody goes to this

420
00:20:51,799 --> 00:20:56,680
central location, right, They're all like all points across the country.

421
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,640
People are coming to this light. Yeah, the little old

422
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,759
lady are coming to this fight. That black Widows are

423
00:21:02,759 --> 00:21:06,200
coming to the fight. The Dallas Cowboys, Sorry that didn't

424
00:21:06,559 --> 00:21:09,720
not the team. The cowboys from Dallas are coming back

425
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,039
to this fight. The Mafia members from New York are

426
00:21:13,079 --> 00:21:15,880
coming to this fight. So you get this little town

427
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:20,440
that is completely overwhelmed by all of these different, very

428
00:21:20,799 --> 00:21:25,720
caricature characters, which Cannonball Run is the exact same, Like

429
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,279
it's all kinds of these different characters. Yeah. So yeah,

430
00:21:29,319 --> 00:21:32,079
I think is again brilliant, brilliant what they did with this.

431
00:21:32,559 --> 00:21:35,519
Speaker 2: By the way, the town square of Jackson Hall had

432
00:21:35,519 --> 00:21:38,039
to shut down for like a week in the middle

433
00:21:38,039 --> 00:21:40,960
of June or July, which is their high season, and

434
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,880
there were some businesses that were a little bit unhappy

435
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,440
about that. Yeah, but one business in particular, where they

436
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,200
they crash through the Italian restaurant. They were like on

437
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,480
the brink of bankruptcy, and because of the success of

438
00:21:53,519 --> 00:21:55,319
the movie, they were able to kind of gave them

439
00:21:55,319 --> 00:21:55,839
a second life.

440
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:56,319
Speaker 1: Oh nice.

441
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, a couple of serious moments I wanted to bring

442
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,440
up to you. Okay, So number one, we talked about

443
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,240
how Jack Wilson is tough and you're actually you're in

444
00:22:03,279 --> 00:22:05,680
fear of this guy, right, He's sure. He's a killer,

445
00:22:05,759 --> 00:22:08,720
he's a threat. He's killed two men that this year. Yeah,

446
00:22:08,759 --> 00:22:11,319
well only one. Well yeah, but the other one from

447
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,480
the neck down, you know, right right, right right. Then

448
00:22:14,519 --> 00:22:18,039
there's a moment where Clint actually teaches Clyde how to

449
00:22:18,279 --> 00:22:19,079
date rape.

450
00:22:19,599 --> 00:22:22,279
Speaker 1: That's that's pretty bad. Yeah, that's pretty bad.

451
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,039
Speaker 2: Just poker in the butt with this.

452
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:28,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's pretty bad. Doesn't somebody else get end

453
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:29,039
up getting poked?

454
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,759
Speaker 2: Clyde pokes himself. Thought, Yeah, there's a scene where the

455
00:22:31,799 --> 00:22:34,000
bad guys do this home invasion and Maw is like,

456
00:22:34,279 --> 00:22:37,119
we're scared for ma, you know. Then Filo gets beat

457
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,359
up and Clyde has to like pull him from a

458
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,720
burning vehicle. Yeah, kind of saves his life. And so

459
00:22:42,759 --> 00:22:45,160
there's there's serious moments, kind of drama.

460
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 1: You know, you gotta have a little bit of drama

461
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,319
with your comedy or we'll.

462
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:52,039
Speaker 2: Get shot, you know. And then the end scene, we've

463
00:22:52,039 --> 00:22:53,200
got to talk about the n scene.

464
00:22:53,279 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, before we get to the end scene. Okay, I

465
00:22:55,759 --> 00:22:59,519
realized that you've covered comedy moments already. Yes, but the

466
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,400
scene with the hotel room where Clyde has got his

467
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,160
girlfriend in one room, yes, and he's showing off for her, yes,

468
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,640
And Filo has got Linn Halsey Taylor and the other

469
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,319
one and she's like, I wish you'd show off for me.

470
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,160
And so he's hanging by the chandelier like there's no

471
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,599
way that some cheap motel room chandelier is going to

472
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,279
hold her face. But we'll go with it for this right.

473
00:23:20,559 --> 00:23:23,720
Then you got Anne Ramsey and her husband over there

474
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,599
hula dancing. He tries to lift up the chair. Oh

475
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,960
my man, that was so brave what she did there.

476
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,720
And then you've got the hotel manager who is a.

477
00:23:35,599 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 2: Peeping tom is.

478
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:42,039
Speaker 1: He's a peeping tom and Ma catches him. He gets

479
00:23:42,079 --> 00:23:44,519
all amorous and she kicks him in the ball.

480
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,799
Speaker 2: She crushes his balls and then is like, what have

481
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:54,359
I done? The first one in twenty years? And then

482
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,240
she's like nurses him back to help because she wants

483
00:23:57,279 --> 00:23:57,960
to get lucky.

484
00:23:58,079 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: Yeah she does, and then like and whistling.

485
00:24:00,759 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 2: The next day she is, She's like, she's acting crazy.

486
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:09,720
She hasn't act this way since all. But then you

487
00:24:09,759 --> 00:24:12,160
have that whole scene where they reenact the scene from ten,

488
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:12,920
the movie ten.

489
00:24:13,279 --> 00:24:18,759
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, that was horrified. It was absolutely that was

490
00:24:18,799 --> 00:24:19,359
so funny.

491
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 2: So you have Bo Derek running down the beach like

492
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:26,960
the movie ten, and they've superimposed moss face over her.

493
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:28,599
Speaker 1: Oh it's so bad.

494
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:29,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's great, man.

495
00:24:30,319 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: Okay, So once again we've got another very early eighties soundtrack.

496
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,880
We got the country going strong here, and our title

497
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,400
song is by none other than mister Glenn Freaking Campbell,

498
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:57,400
the Ryanstone cowboy himself called any which way you can

499
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,480
and then you've got a whole soundtrack on this one

500
00:25:00,759 --> 00:25:04,920
beers too you. Yeah, that might not be the best

501
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,599
the best one you go to, but you're the reason

502
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,640
God made Oklahoma was a single off of this and

503
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,839
it did fantastic. Yeah, You've got Whiskey Heaven by Fat

504
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:19,759
Him Yeah, by Fats Domino, I mean Fats Domino and

505
00:25:19,799 --> 00:25:23,680
a cowboy hat. I can't beat it right now, Sondralock tortures.

506
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,480
This song called one Too Many Women in Your Life,

507
00:25:26,519 --> 00:25:29,720
But that one was written by John Durrell and mister

508
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,680
Phil Everley himself of the Everly Brothers, which we've talked

509
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,880
about before because and Roses episode.

510
00:25:36,839 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 2: Mister Phil Everly is Don Everly's brother, who is the

511
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,839
dad of Aaron Everly, who was.

512
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:44,079
Speaker 1: Let's switch out.

513
00:25:44,279 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, by the way, no one else the song the

514
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,960
one too Many Women in your Life? Yes, one that

515
00:25:51,079 --> 00:25:53,039
you love and one you call your wife. I think

516
00:25:53,039 --> 00:25:57,039
it's how the lyrics go. Yeah, oddly sort of interesting, right, yeah,

517
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:58,400
kind of close to home there.

518
00:25:58,559 --> 00:26:00,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, by the way, speaking of that, I think I

519
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,000
read I think on the Wikipedia page for Clint Eastwood.

520
00:26:04,319 --> 00:26:08,119
It says that he has at least nine kids. Like,

521
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,039
he's very private about how many kids he has, but

522
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,359
we know they're at least nine. Yeah, there may be

523
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:15,480
more and probably are.

524
00:26:15,839 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 2: I would say highly likely that there are.

525
00:26:18,319 --> 00:26:20,079
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy has been a movie star for

526
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:21,839
seventy years.

527
00:26:22,079 --> 00:26:23,599
Speaker 2: You know who he never had a child with.

528
00:26:23,519 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: Though, Sondra Locke.

529
00:26:24,759 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's not talk about it.

530
00:26:25,799 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 1: Let's not talk about Okay.

531
00:26:27,759 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 2: By the way, I just want to drop this little

532
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,359
nugget to you. When they're staying in Jackson Hole, the

533
00:26:32,799 --> 00:26:37,240
hotel manager gets a little amorous with Clyde, who's dressed

534
00:26:37,319 --> 00:26:38,119
up in a nightgown.

535
00:26:38,279 --> 00:26:39,799
Speaker 1: Right, it's up with that, right.

536
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 2: It was so bizarre, all right, And Clyde like lifts

537
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,440
up his ninety or whatever and it's it's just weird,

538
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,839
but it's funny. Just a side note, he's actually looking

539
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:51,640
at a Playboy.

540
00:26:52,079 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

541
00:26:52,519 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 2: That Playboy is from June nineteen eighty. Okay, you mentioned

542
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,279
how this movie was shot in the summer of nineteen eighty.

543
00:26:58,319 --> 00:26:58,599
Speaker 1: Correct.

544
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:03,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, that June nineteen eighty magazine of Playboy is the

545
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:07,119
one that features Dorothy Stratton of Star eighty, Star eighty,

546
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:12,480
who was murdered by her boyfriend. Wow, so, oh my gosh,

547
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:13,160
there you go.

548
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 1: Yep, Peter Bogdanovitch's girlfriend. Yes, there's a movie I never

549
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:18,839
want to discuss. By the way, if you wanted to

550
00:27:18,839 --> 00:27:20,519
put Star eighty on your list, find a guest host

551
00:27:20,559 --> 00:27:24,000
that's not me for that one's no thinks, no way. Okay, okay,

552
00:27:24,279 --> 00:27:28,119
back to fun stuff. Yeah, okay, So first movie, most

553
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,359
profitable movie that Clint east would have ever made. Yep,

554
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:35,200
this movie first weekend came in at number one, Yes,

555
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:40,759
grossing eight million dollars. Yes. The second weekend, Yes, stayed

556
00:27:40,759 --> 00:27:43,640
at number one and made ten million dollars.

557
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,319
Speaker 2: Really, it went up for the second weekend.

558
00:27:46,799 --> 00:27:50,079
Speaker 1: It resulted are you ready for this? Yes? It resulted

559
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:55,039
in a record for the single day gross for Warner Brothers.

560
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,920
Guess what movie it beat? I don't know what. Do

561
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,319
you got? Superman?

562
00:28:00,279 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 2: Oh?

563
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,799
Speaker 1: So it turns out Philo Beto can beat Superman. There

564
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:05,400
you go.

565
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,599
Speaker 2: By the way, they looked at Clint Eastwood to play

566
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:13,480
the part of Superman. Yeah, if memory serves credit him

567
00:28:13,519 --> 00:28:16,279
in about one hundred other people, now then that's right,

568
00:28:16,599 --> 00:28:21,680
including Al Pacino and Sylvester Slim. This movie was the

569
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,880
fifth highest grossing movie of nineteen eighty.

570
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what the.

571
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:29,279
Speaker 2: Four higher ones are, right, but I bet my paycheck

572
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:33,440
that Emprere Strikes Back was number one. Sure, another incredibly

573
00:28:33,519 --> 00:28:36,599
successful movie for Clint Easwood. YEP, both of these movies.

574
00:28:36,759 --> 00:28:38,880
When we talk about Clint Eastwood, these movies are kind

575
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:40,400
of forgotten. Nobody ever brings these up.

576
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,119
Speaker 1: They don't come up. I mean, you get the Cowboy movies,

577
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,079
you get the Dirty Harry movies, and you get the

578
00:28:45,119 --> 00:28:47,920
movies that he's directed, but you don't get these. And

579
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,880
these are two of the most successful movies of all time,

580
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:52,799
let alone for him.

581
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 2: I know.

582
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,559
Speaker 1: So are we a final judgment? Yet we are? We are? Okay.

583
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,279
I don't mind going first because I've tipped my hand ready.

584
00:29:00,599 --> 00:29:03,359
They figured out everything that went wrong in the first one,

585
00:29:03,559 --> 00:29:05,279
and they did it right in the second one. And

586
00:29:05,319 --> 00:29:08,279
the first one was still great, So that meant yes,

587
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,079
I can see how it went up. I can see

588
00:29:11,079 --> 00:29:13,839
how people went another sequel, This won't be as good.

589
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,240
First weekend, eight million dollars worth of folks showed up,

590
00:29:17,559 --> 00:29:21,359
and then after the word of mouth of they did better,

591
00:29:21,519 --> 00:29:25,559
they brought it home with this one. The comedy is better,

592
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,640
the filming is better, the timing is better, the villain

593
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,400
is there and he's better and he's not even a

594
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:36,680
villain really, So without question, any which way you can

595
00:29:37,359 --> 00:29:39,759
beats out every which way but loose, and they're both

596
00:29:39,799 --> 00:29:41,000
fantastic movies. Yeah.

597
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 2: So, in fact, the way we kind of started down

598
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,119
this road, you and I, this wasn't even really on

599
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,640
our schedule, but somehow we got into conversation about this.

600
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're talking about William Smith. When we were we

601
00:29:52,119 --> 00:29:56,960
talked about him being in Rumblefish, Rumblefish and the Outsiders,

602
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,839
and I was like, this is the guy. This was

603
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,920
the guy who's the bad guy in the Clint Eastwood

604
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:03,519
every which way but loose, and you were like, no,

605
00:30:03,599 --> 00:30:05,799
it was any which way you can. And I'm like, okay,

606
00:30:06,119 --> 00:30:07,160
do you like that movie?

607
00:30:07,319 --> 00:30:07,559
Speaker 3: Yes?

608
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,119
Speaker 1: I love that Let's do it right. So yeah, all right.

609
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,839
Speaker 2: So for my final judgment, yes, I've already sipped my

610
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,920
hand as well. I totally agree with you. They took

611
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:21,240
the first movie like wise people, they analyzed what worked.

612
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,559
There were some funny moments with the Black Widows. The

613
00:30:23,759 --> 00:30:27,119
Orangutang was funny. Clint has a presence on the screen

614
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:31,440
he's a movie star of the ages. Let's maximize that.

615
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,759
Let's put the romance in the back seat. Lyn Halsey

616
00:30:34,759 --> 00:30:37,880
Taylor can come along. That's fine, but the focus is

617
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:42,240
not the romance. We've got action, We've got bad guys,

618
00:30:42,519 --> 00:30:45,880
We've got a road movie. We've got this wacky convergence

619
00:30:46,039 --> 00:30:50,039
in Jackson Hole right turn Clyde. It's at least twice

620
00:30:50,079 --> 00:30:52,640
as good and probably three times as good as every

621
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,519
which way but lose. Wow, I'm spiking my football. Any

622
00:30:55,519 --> 00:30:58,559
which way you can is the way better movie. And

623
00:30:58,599 --> 00:31:01,000
I still I still love it, and it's so much fun.

624
00:31:01,039 --> 00:31:02,359
I had a great time doing this.

625
00:31:02,519 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: If you can only watch one of these movies, watch

626
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,640
any which way you can. You don't need to have

627
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,559
seen the first one to understand what's going on in

628
00:31:08,559 --> 00:31:10,400
the second one at all. They do it right. This

629
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,119
time they start with the fight to let you know

630
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,680
who he is, and they end with a fight, and

631
00:31:14,759 --> 00:31:17,160
this time again they do it right, and spoiler alert,

632
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,920
he wins. Yeah. But man, it's a good fight.

633
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 2: One of the best, one of the best, as as

634
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,480
fat Zach says, it's one of the best fights I've

635
00:31:26,519 --> 00:31:30,480
ever seen in the mine tirely so absolutely love it.

636
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,880
By the way, every which way but Loose is available

637
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,599
on HBO Max right now, any which way you can.

638
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:38,720
I had to get from my library. It was really

639
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:39,359
tough to get it.

640
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: I think I get it off of Prime, did you Okay?

641
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,079
I got Amazon Prime. Okay, it's worth the four bucks.

642
00:31:44,279 --> 00:31:46,559
Go watch this movie for sure. A lot of fun.

643
00:31:46,799 --> 00:31:48,119
Speaker 2: Okay, what we got next week?

644
00:31:48,519 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: We have got the Great Outdoors. Yes, and then from
