   All orang-utans are called Clyde due to this movie. I doubt there are many films that have had such a profound effect on modern primate culture. 11 years 11 months ago

   Who even thought Every Which Way But Loose was a viable movie project? Clint Eastwood is a brawling trucker who pals around with an orangutan - DON'T QUESTION IT! - and takes off after a country singer he falls in love with when she moves to Colorado. But he's followed by Neo-Nazi bikers and vengeful cops who have scores to settle with him because he's beaten them up, often on the slightest of provocations - DON'T QUESTION IT! In fact, there's a fist fight every 10 minutes at least, and Eastwood is nigh indestructible. Really, the only one who can hurt him, physically draw blood, is the woman he loves. That, and the grace note that soon follows, make me think there's more to this picture than a slim plot padded out by random violence. If you go with it, if you DON'T QUESTION IT, it's absurd in a way that would make it a great double feature with Roadhouse. It's got some laughs, is essentially harmless with its continually-humiliated cartoon villains, and you come to care what happens to the characters. Damn it, it's weird and wonky and meandering, but it's entertaining. 5 years 8 months ago
