猴年来了：盘点与猴有关的经典电影

6. Every Which Way But Loose
《永不低头》

The late-1970s to early-80s were the golden age of ape entertainment, with the era's crowning glory being the 1978 Clint Eastwood comedy Every Which Way But Loose. The oddball comedy starred Eastwood as a trucker searching the West for his fleeing love interest (Sondra Locke) while accompanied by his manager Orville and pet orangutan, Clyde. The movie didn't earn Eastwood any cred with critics, in fact it was almost universally panned upon release, but it struck a chord with audiences, perhaps drawn in by the irony of the spaghetti western toughguy appearing in such a silly affair. Every Which Way But Loose made big money at the box office and spawned a sequel, 1980's equally impressive Any Which Way You Can.
上世纪70年代末至80年代初，好莱坞迎来了“猴子电影”的黄金时代。1978年，克林特·伊斯特伍德以怪诞喜剧《永不低头》将“猴片时代”推向高潮。伊斯特伍德在片中饰演一名货车司机，带着自己的经纪人厄维尔和猩猩宠物克莱德，开遍美国大西部，只为寻回离他而去的爱人（桑德拉·洛克饰）。此片在影评人那里的口碑不佳，发行之初频遭吐槽。但不少观众却在影片中找到了共鸣，或许因为看到伊斯特伍德这样的银屏硬汉，现身意式西部讽刺片中，不失滑稽。《永不低头》票房大卖，还在两年后出了续集《金拳大对决》，反响同样不错。

看点：看伊斯特伍德和猩猩搭戏，多有意思啊！
