    I’m a huge Eastwood fan, and this is my all-time favorite of his.

      Jeff Bridges was also in a lesser film with Tommy Lee Jones called blown away.

    Edgar mentions Jeff Bridges having a fore shadowing of his "Dude" character in this. I found that when he is dazzled and dying in the end he has aspects akin to the alien he played in Starman

    This movie and The Eiger Sanction from '75, are two of my favorite Clint movies. They are both overlooked and underrated. George Kennedy is in both of them.

    One of my favorite movies. In some ways the film is about reckless freedom.

      Right. It's also a buddy heist film with cross-dressing. So it's got something for everyone.

    I saw this as a kid in Ireland almost 50 years ago!! but today i got my own DVD copy of this one of my favorite all time movies. Clint Eastwood, Jeff Bridges, Jeffrey Lewis and of course George Kennedy and Dub Taylor and the whole cast are fantastic. Montana looks absolutely beautiful if i ever return to the USA i must visit the big sky country.

    It seems only Eastwood's Warner Bros films are really remembered and a lot of the MGM and United Artist films he did in the 60's and 70's are forgotten by the general public.

    When we first got cable in the late 70s this was on HBO so after my folks went to sleep I snuck downstairs and watched it with the sound on 1 and my face a couple inches away from the screen.

    Love this movie!!!! Such a star making turn by Bridges, here!!!! He really owns the movie!!!! Eastwood didn’t like that he was being upstaged by Jeff Bridges. He had a relight to be!!!!

    Lloyd's Little "Dude" Tenderly Soft Steps His Way Toward the "Oscar" Footlights ... With his awe-inspiring death-knell denouement, Bridges totally nails home his nominational " ' Picture Show" follow-up in Cimino's Beyond Beautiful Buddy, Road, Heist, All-Too Heavenly Cross-Genre Hybrid Debut. As Eastwood heads on down this lonely expanse of highway, laconically hurtling toward his preordained destiny, "Thunderbolt" might have ultimately recouped what he thought he had wanted with the inexplicable recovery of the lost Big Score; but he ever-so movingly loses what he really always needed most... Where Does Cimino Go From Here? ...

      @@DNF81 That's what I thought, but it seems like that was just a rumor that went around. I honestly am leaning towards the man getting one to many botched plastic surgery jobs, like a previous commenter mentioned. Wright might have just been referencing the rumor. This was recorded before Cimino's death in 2016.

    Great opening & closing scene. The rest is a boring, pointless waste of time. This could have been a classic 70s film, but it's just a mishmash of one scene after another that never really add up. The final scene is heartbreaking but also a bit cliche. Clint and Jeff went on to do much better work.
