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, and legendary brawler Tank Murdock.

According to the book "Clint Eastwood: Hollywood's Loner" (1992) by Michael Munn, Eastwood called Clyde the Orangutan "one of the most natural actors I ever worked with. But you had to get him on the first take because his boredom level was very limited."
Adjusted for inflation, this is the biggest hit of Clint Eastwood's career.
This is the first movie to earn $10 million or more in its opening weekend.
Clint Eastwood was advised to do this movie on the heels of Smokey and the Bandit (1977)'s runaway success at the box office.
Manis the Orangutan once got upset and grabbed Clint Eastwood while he was driving a truck. The ape's trainers were able to calm Manis down by speaking to him over the two-way radio.
"Cholla: [the Black Widows have shown up at Philo's home, Ma Boggs is on the porch, they pull their bikes into her yard and Cholla pulls up on the porch] Say, old lady, where's Philo Beddoe? Ma Boggs: How the hell do I know? Get off my porch with that thing. Get off my property! Cholla: You're uh... you're not very hospitable. Ma Boggs: Hospitable my ass. Get off my porch! Cholla: Very well, if you insist. [Cholla chains his bike to a support on the front porch, pulling it down... bikers laugh, Ma pulls out a pump-action shotgun] Woody: [seeing the gun] Alright lady... put down that gun now! [bikers dive out of her way] Woody: I'm warning you lady! Put down that gun now! [Ma fires and bike next to Woody explodes... she shoots several other bikes as they're attempting to flee] Ma Boggs: [during a recoil] Oof! Woody: [running after his gang on foot] Wait for me! Ma Boggs: [seeing the flaming bikes on her lawn... to herself] First the police, and I told those boys not to leave a vulnerable old lady all alone! [goes inside with gun] Ma Boggs: Hospitable? Horseshit!"
"[At a diner, Frank and Elmo, members of the Black Widows, have bought a beer for Lynn, to which Philo "cheers" to them. Frank and Elmo walk towards Philo, Lynn, and Orville] Philo Beddoe: That's mighty nice of you. Elmo: [shows Philo his Widow tattoo] You see that? Philo Beddoe: An arm? Elmo: No, that! Philo Beddoe: A tattoo? Elmo: He don't know what this means. Frank: [shows Orville his Widow tattoo] Do you see that? Orville Boggs: [sneezes] Ah-choo! Oh, sorry. Philo Beddoe: Two tattoos. Elmo: Them's Black Widows. Frank: Did you know that more people die from black widows than rattlers every year? Orville Boggs: Is that right? Frank: Yeah, that's right. Orville Boggs: Well, listen, I sure do appreciate knowing that because most of the people I know just - puh - step on them and squish them Frank: I don't need this cheap shit. Philo Beddoe: Orville, that's no way to thank you two guys just bought us a beer. Why don't you get the check and I'll go outside and thank them properly Elmo: Oh, okay."
