‘Brilliant’ Clint Eastwood film to watch on Freeview this weekend | Films | Entertainment

Clint Eastwood, who turns 95 in two weeks, has had an incredible Hollywood career spanning over a half a century.

And this weekend one of his comedy classics is on Freeview’s 5 Action and will be streaming on 5 too.

The film in question is 1980’s Any Which Way You Can, the action comedy sequel to 1978’s Every Which Way But Loose.

Eastwood stars as bare-knuckle boxer Philo Beddoe, who travels the American West with his pet orangutan Clyde.

In the sequel, co-starring Sondra Locke, he comes out of retirement for more underground fights, seeing him come up against “motorcycle gangs, ruthless mobsters, crazed gamblers and the roughest, toughest fighter in America.” Both action comedies are two of Eastwood’s highest-grossing films of his career.

Catch Any Which Way You Can at 6:35pm on 5 Action this Sunday.
