I have both movies on Ye Olde VHS videos both watched so many times since the early eighties that have worn out, so I am over the moon with this DVD release!
The films are classics combining humour and action, the 'star' in this film is hard to judge as Clint, (Philo Bedoe) Ma, Clyde (the lovely Ape) or the fabulous hells angel gang - the black widows are all brilliant!
In my opinion the sequel is the better film (but only just) I would recomend this film for anyone with a love for humour.

Let's first dispell a myth..
Please, do not read anything into the animal rights activists scaring people into not buying this film. 'Clyde' or 'Clyde 2' which was involved in the 'Any which way you can' film, died from a cerebral hemorrhage, which had nothing to do with the treatment of the orangutans well-being. It was properly cared for and treated well all of its life. As was the first 'Clyde' an orangutan called Manis, who lived to an old age.
As for both films.. Clint Eastwood just instinctively knows when something is right to do. Despite being told not to make the original film, he made it anyway and it was a hit. The public love Clint Eastwood and they also like the movies despite the negative press around the films at that time.
Clyde is the great comedy sidekick and bit of an unknown quantity, if you watch the films for the first time, you never knew what you were going to get. There's lots of funny moments and it's a comedy at heart. However, it still retains the macho theme, with Clint playing a bare-knuckles fighter to bring in some extra cash when he's not carrying car engines around the backyard.
The highs and lows of relationships between Eastwood and Locke go full circle in both films. There's lots of tongue-in-cheek humour and mild swearing by todays standards, however, don't buy this for kids under 15 years and then complain about all the blood - the certificate is there for a reason, and this is why it's still rated at 15.
The country music sets the tone for the film and is very much in-line with Eastwoods style of film-making and the characters and the locations. The 'Black Widows' make the film even more entertaining and the soundtrack is well-written as you know when they are going to make an appearance as they have their own little theme - akin to a 50s style slow rock n roll 'Happy Days' type number..
It's a shame it ended with just two films, I think even back then everyone would have loved to have seen a third to make a nice trilogy, but alas, Clint was becoming even more popular than he already was and went onto a vast number of other projects..
Buy it, enjoy it.. forget the small continuity errors and it's age.. appreciate what these two films did at the time and again the flawless acting by Eastwood.
The only thing I would have liked is to see a Special Edition of these films, in full widescreen and 5.1 sound, with proper bonus features and documentaries on the making of the films. Hopefully it will happen one day..

What a great couple of films these are with a great cast also in both & at such a cheap price also. I must admit that some clips have been removed or language removed so that you still see the lips moving but with no sound (when ma speaks mainly) but not badly enough to wreck either thankfully. I cannot stop laughing at these magic Eastwood films every time that I watch them & unlike some films never get tired of doing so. Clint Eastwood (Philo Beddoe) Geoffrey Lewis (Orvil) Sandra Locke & the great Ruth Gordon (Ma). The Black widows bike gang are so funny also & never fail to bring a smile to my face. If you ever have a bad day then put this into your DVD player make yourself a bite to eat & drink & then push play instant stress relief.

Clint Eastwood in jovial mood.
The only weak side of these two films is in the person of Sondra Locke who is less than a poor actress. At times it is almost embarrassing to watch her pathetic performance. Read more

Was Clyde abused to perform?
The film was a bit simplistic and the plot entirely predictable. The characters were stereotypes and despite the attempts at humour it didn't hold my attention. Read more

Great value, great movies
Great value to get both these underrated and fantastically entertaining movies in one set. Clint is great (impossible to believe he's pushing 50 in these!). Read more
