a5c7b9f00b The San Fernando Valley adventures of trucker turned prize-fighter Philo Beddoe and his pet orangutan Clyde.
Philo Beddoe is an easy-going trucker and a great fist-fighter. With two friends - Orville, who promotes prize-fights for him, and Clyde, the orangutan he won on a bet - he roams the San Fernando Valley in search of cold beer, country music and the occasional punch-up. But he is floored himself by a dainty little country and western singer, who gives him the slip when she realizes he's getting too serious. Phil, Clyde and Orville set off in pursuit, pestered by bikers.
Philo Beddoe, a bare-knuckle fighter, pursues a girl country singer across the Rockies from LA, whilst being pursued in his turn by two cops and a gang of ineffectual hell's angels.<br/><br/>The opening sequence has Clint Eastwood, playing Philo, change from a truck to a pickup, kissing an office girl or two en route. That pretty neatly encapsulates the film.<br/><br/>Eastwood wanted a change of air after the epic "Josey Wales", not to mention a vehicle for himself and his new amour, Sondra Locke. This weak comedy movie is saved from being utter trash by Clyde the orangutang, who provides the only humour worthy of the name. The running 'joke' of Orville's mother constantly failing her driving test is a good indicator of the script's paucity. The paper-thin story is padded with a little country music, and yes - Sondra sings.<br/><br/>The 'black widows', the allegedly comical hell's angels, are embarrassingly bad. Philo scores a victory over intellectuals and feminists when he puts a set of dentures in a sociologist's chowder. It gets worse. Orville's ma shoots at the hell's angels, making two bikes explode. Yeah. Right.<br/><br/>On the road, following Lynn Halsey-Taylor (for such is the name of Locke's character) eastwards, Orville (Geoffrey Lewis) picks up a girl at a roadside melon stall. Echo (the girl, played by Beverly D'Angelo) turns out to be a pistol-packing crack shot who rescues the guys from a tight spot. This may seem a trifle too convenient, but it pales next to the scrape Philo gets out of by happening to hook a big fish justthe cops draw a bead on him.<br/><br/>The guest appearance by Charlie Rich doesn't ring remotely true and is poorly handled. What would a struggling amateur like Halsey-Taylor be doing on the same billRich?<br/><br/>A lame final fight and a predictable ending round up the 'entertainment', which includes a customary reference to Clint's spaghetti western past (as for example in "Kelly's Heroes"). Takena whole, this film is featureless and lacklustre. Very poor fare.
you know, i've watched this movie twice and i still don't have the slightest idea what it's about? i'm sure there's a plot somewhere in this movie, but what or where it is is completely lost to me. i do know that this reminds me of fight club but with Clint Eastwood and an orangutan instead of Pitt and Norton. there's also a number of scenes where bikers get beat up, and that's one thing you can never see enough of. i was disappointed the monkey didn't spend more time giving people the finger, that would have been epic. This is a great drinking movie, just so longyou don't let the country music bother you too much. Hey, it's time for another beer.<br/><br/>8 out 0f 10
For Eastwood fans, the essential elements are there. Lots of people get beat up, Eastwood walks tall and looks nasty, cars are crashed. James Fargo directs limply.
