Every Which Way but Loose

Seen it?

1978 | 110 min | Comedy, Adventure, Action

Weeknight Watch

Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

It made about 17 times its budget, but middling reviews (41% on Rotten Tomatoes) and a lukewarm 6.1 out of 10 from audiences held it back. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

What might put you off
  • Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
  • Made in 1978: an older pace and style.

Philo Beddoe is your regular, easygoing, truck-driving guy. He's also the best bar-room brawler west of the Rockies. And he lives with a 165-pound orangutan named Clyde. Like other guys, Philo finally falls in love - with a flighty singer who leads him on a screwball chase across the American Southwest. Nothing's in the way except a motorcycle gang, some cops, and legendary brawler Tank Murdock.
