Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Philo Beddoe (Clint Eastwood) is an easy-going trucker and a great fist-fighter. With two friends, Orville (Geoffrey Lewis), who promotes prize-fights for him, and Clyde (Manis the Orangutan), the orangutan he won on a bet, he roams the San Fernando Valley in search of cold beer, country music, and the occasional punch-up. But he is floored by country and western singer Lynn Halsey-Taylor (Sondra Locke), who gives him the slip when she realizes he's getting too serious. Phil, Clyde, and Orville set off in pursuit, pestered by bikers.

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! See more » |
