'Any Which Way You Can' is woeful. It would be quicker to note what I liked about this - nothing - than to note the negatives. It's such a haphazardly created film, with every detail of it being either nonsensical, extremely forced or just dull. It's such a drag also, I checked the elapsed time at one point expecting to see at least 1hr 15mins... I had seen barely 40 minutes. Clint Eastwood tries his best, I guess, and is one of the brighter parts, everyone else is very forgettable - including Sondra Locke's Lynn, who is all of a sudden the opposite to what they set up in the original. Then you also have the dodginess of the stuff offscreen with the orangutans. To think, this beat a Warner Bros. box office single day record set by 'Superman'. 1980 - you poor, poor souls.

This is the second movie after “Every which way but loose”. While the first "Clint with monkey" movie was OK for the time, with the shallow 1970s humour, this second one was just not necessary. At best it is more of the same, but made without love or enthusiasm. The same mediocre jokes with some lame new one that are mostly predictable. Watch the first one if you like this kind of humour, as it is OK. But forget about this one.
