Answer: Every Which Way But Loose

None of Eastwood's advisors wanted him to do this film. They didn't feel it was comedic or would appeal to a wide audience.

It featured a hit title song by country singer Eddie Rabbit and spawned the 1980 sequel "Any Which Way You Can".

This film was made in my hometown of Wilmington, North Carolina. It was a total bomb at the box office, but featured a great soundtrack by AC/DC. It was Stephen King's only stint behind the camera.
