MST3K Connections[]

  • Mike and the Bots harangued the well-known film critic (and later guest star) Leonard Maltin over the end credits of Laserblast for giving that movie the same two and a half stars ranking as he assigned to more acclaimed films such as Eastwood's Unforgiven.
  • Eastwood starred in the films Every Which Way But Loose and Any Which Way You Can, which co-starred an orangutan. These films prompted an argument between Professor Bobo and Observer at the end of Episode #813.
  • Eastwood's signature quote from the Dirty Harry films is randomly referenced by Michael J. Nelson during his and Kevin Murphy's RiffTrax treatment of 1978's Halloween.[1]
  • "Clint Eastwood" was the alias adopted by the time-traveling character Marty McFly when he went to the late-1800s in the film Back to the Future Part III. Posters for two of Eastwood's early films (both of which starred John Agar) were displayed at the drive-in movie theater near where Marty's time machine was hidden during the 1950s.
