Beyond acclaimed western productions like ‘The Good, the Bad and the Ugly’, Clint Eastwood broke the box office in the United States thanks to this film that had no support from anyone.
Clint Eastwood He is one of the most legendary actors in Hollywood, without a doubt. His participation in Sergio Leone’s Dollar Trilogy brought him international stardom along with other performers such as Eli Wallach and Lee Van Cleef; although His fame was not necessarily a translation of box office successes within American markets.
The actor continued playing roles that made him look like a hero or expert in weapons and action, so When he tried to break out of the genre, everyone looked at him with surprise and even tried to persuade him not to do it.. However, this project turned out to be one of the most successful of his career and, above all, one of the highest-grossing ones with a minimal budget for its production.
Eastwood is remembered for his intervention in titles such as Dirty Harry and the good, the bad and the ugly, but almost no one remembers him being Philo Beddoe in the action-comedy film Every Which Way But Loose; better known in Latin America as Rebellious brawler. Over 114 minutes We see the western legend working alongside an orangutan that he became quite fond of during production.
The film premiered almost 50 years ago, but Clint Eastwood recalled in an interview with Guardian that absolutely no one wanted him to act in said feature film. “I had done a lot of action and adventure movies, and they told me ‘You’re not like that,’ and I said ‘Well, what am I?’ I don’t know,’” assuring that his intention in working on said film was to reach younger audiences. “My agent and everyone begged me not to do that movie.”he pointed.
Despite the comments received from his family and friends, Eastwood became involved in the project that It was made for just $5 million and later grossed $104 million at the box office.; so the actor returned to play the character to Any Which Way You Canwhich was released in theaters two years after the first film.
