* BadassBoast: Attempted by Cholla in the second film. "Lord, you have given me these crosses to bar, and I will carry them from Jerusalem to Jackson, whichever's closer, but I swear on my last word if it's the last thing I do I will CHEW ON PHILO BEDDOE'S ASS FOR MY LAST SUPPER!"

* CombatPragmatists: In the second film Cholla sells the gangs bikes to bet on Philo to win the fight, then when Beekman's hoods threaten Philo he orders the Black WIdows to stop them, whitch they do quite handily.

* CrouchingMoronHidsdenBadass: The BLack Widows defeating Beekman's hoods in the second film.

Followed up with a 1980 sequel: ''Film/AnyWhichWayYouCan''.

--> "Humiliating! Outsmarted by a banana-head!"

* WagTheDirector: Clint was often in dispute with the director, James Fargo. The first assistant sarcastically commented that this was because Fargo "had the notion that he was directing the movie." Note that Eastwood and Fargo had been long-time collaborators, with Fargo having handled second unit duties on films that Eastwood had directed, and working smoothly with him during Fargo's directorial bow on ''TheEnforcer''. On that occasion they worked well together since it had been agreed that Eastwood was really in charge, but Fargo expected more control on ''Every Which Way''. Their friendship survived the film's production, but afterwards they agreed that it'd probably be best for the sake of their sanity if they didn't work on the same film again.
* ItWasWithYouAllAlong: In ''Any Which Way You Can'', after Scarfe gives Clyde the orangutan the advance money for Philo's fight with Wilson, Philo tells the ape, "You stash that, Clyde, and don't let Ma see you." "Ma" Boggs is looking out the window, however, and sees Clyde with the money. In a later scene, we see her searching Clyde's room in the shed for the money, to no avail. And when Philo decides to cancel the fight and give back the money, Clyde goes and gets it. Ma follows him, and learns that Clyde hid the money under her own mattress.
--> "Humiliating! Outsmarted by a banana-head!"

* HeyItsThatGuy: The girl Orville picks up at a roadside fruit stand is a young [[NationalLampoonsVacation Ellen Griswold]].

* AllBikersAreHellsAngels: The Black Widows biker gang are modeled pretty closely on the "Hells Angels" stereotype.
* DidYouJustHaveSex: Slowly pieced together by the Philo's sidekick. Initially, he thinks their literal TeamPet just mated.

->Cholla: You Philo Beddoe?
->Philo Beddoe: Do I know you?
->Cholla: You're gonna
->The Audience: That guy's screwed.
