Bronco Billy
Real sleeper that film. Very underrated.
If we’re talking underrated you can’t go past Coogans Bluff, Thunderbolt and Lightfoot and The Eiger Sanction
Just an awesome bunch of Eastwood flicks.

Now you’ve all made me think of Play Misty for me. Clearly not a western but one of Clint’s finest.
Wasn't that his first full directorial debut? I remember watching it when I was in my early teens. Scared the life out of me.
Tightrope has a similar feel

Absolutely and such stunning shots of Monterey, what a place.
his punch to knock Evelyn out the window at the end would have KO’d Mike Tyson.
The actress ( Jessica Walter ) died in March this year.

No mention of Every Which Way but Loose?

Simple, feel-good fun done only as Eastwood could do it. Hard to believe it's the same guy who did Gran Tourino

Clint had some nice looking boxing moves……and that’s about as kind as I can possibly get about that movie.

Nah I was 5 when it came out, I must've watched it when I was 7 or 8 - fucking AWESOME! compared to the shit kids movies in those days.
The only movies apart from Star Wars that I remember as going to as a kid are these ones, plus the Bud Spencer/Terrance Hill ones. NFI how dubbed Italian movies like those made it to Napier in the 70's

They were obviously big in HB as I used to watch them on video in the 80s.
Who finds a friend finds a treasure. Watch out we're mad. The Trinity movies. Etc.

The Spencer and Hill movies along with Cheech and Chong were pretty big in the early 80s

It’s pretty entertaining to watch again I’ll give you that.
….and would be absolutely unwatchable if Clint wasn’t the main man.

Absolutely loved the Trinity movies (pretty much anything with Bud Spencer and Terrance Hill) when I was a kid, it was a family favourite. One thing that amazed us when watching, never did we see baked beans like that until we moved from Auckland in 1977 to Canada.
As a family of 6, we flew into LA via Tahiti. my Dad brought a V8 panel wagon and after we did all the sites and theme parks, we drove from LA to Calgary stopping at all sorts of cool places. But I digress, where was I... ah yes, baked beans.
I still remember it vividly to this day... it was at a typical American roadside dinner between Portland and Seattle that I discovered that I really hate baked beans after seeing them on the menu and ordered them with crusty bread, Trinity style.
YUCK... and that hatred has lasted until this day. -

runs slow too.
Although I enjoyed it and agree with your score.
Exposition of a redneck broadening his horizons, with a slight twist in the tail of the tale . Nobody lives happily ever after Has Award Nomination written all over it .Particularly for Matt Damon and his MAGA cap
