Any Which Way You Can is a 1980 American comedy film directed by Buddy Van Horn and starring Clint Eastwood, Sondra Locke, Geoffrey Lewis, and Ruth Gordon. It is the sequel to the 1978 hit film Every Which Way but Loose.
In the film, Philo Beddoe (Clint Eastwood), a retired bare-knuckle boxer, runs a small-town garage and lives with his girlfriend, Lynn Halsey-Taylor (Sondra Locke), and his pet orangutan, Clyde. Philo is lured back into the ring for a final fight against a brutal opponent named Jack Wilson (William Smith) by a group of mobsters who promise him a huge purse.
Philo's fight with Jack is not the only challenge he faces. A biker gang known as "The Black Widows" also crosses his path, as they are pursuing Lynn's music career. The gang's leader, Cholla (John Quade), who hates Philo, decides to challenge him to a motorcycle race to settle their feud.
Meanwhile, Philo's friend, Orville (Geoffrey Lewis), finds himself in trouble when he unwittingly steals money from the same mobsters who arranged Philo's fight. Orville seeks Philo's help and the duo embark on a series of misadventures, with Clyde always at their side.
The film is a blend of action, comedy, and drama, with plenty of fight scenes, chases, and slapstick moments. It also features a score by Steve Dorff, including the catchy theme song "Any Which Way You Can" sung by Glen Campbell.
Overall, Any Which Way You Can is a fun and entertaining movie that showcases Clint Eastwood's versatile acting skills and his love for unusual animal co-stars.
