About this product

Product Information

Clint Eastwood plays an alcoholic, dim-witted cop, Ben Shockley, who has to escort an irate prostitute, Gus Mally (Sondra Locke), from Las Vegas to Phoenix so she can testify in a mob trial. Gus immediately warns Ben of the danger that they're in, but he doesn't believe her. He eventually figures out that his superiors want Gus dead and chose him for the job because they thought he'd fail. The two spend most of the film eluding the trigger-happy cops. The banter between Ben and Gus, who initially despise each other, is just as brutal and entertaining as the action set pieces. And when the two finally warm to each other, it's surprisingly effective. Eastwood and Locke made many films together, but THE GAUNTLET features what may be their strongest collaboration. Literal-minded critics may malign the film for its over-the-top explosive action, but it's clear that Eastwood was aware of how outrageous and preposterous the action in the film is. As Jan De Bont would later do with another wildly entertaining and implausible film involving a bus, SPEED, Eastwood here has stripped down the action movie to its bare essence. THE GAUNTLET is a fun ride.

  • My Review of the Gauntlet

    One of my favorite movies. I wish I could find the edited version for television. I like everything about the movie (especially the story itself), but I don't like the added offensive language, the police officer's sexual harrassment of Augusta, and the nude scene that involved sexual content that was definitely something that I wouldn't want my children to see. I have to fast forward that section. It ruins the flow and awesomeness of the movie. Why do they always have to try to stuff in the profane, the offensive, and the filth. You don't have to be dirty to be good. The movie is a 5 except for the filth that they have added. Whoever is responsible for adding that mess ruined an otherwise super good movie. I wouldn't let my children watch this unless I was there to fast forward the scenes that I am talking about.

  • The excellent title The Gauntlet

    The movie is very entertaining also interesting to watch. Clint is really good in any of his movies since his early days of acting. I like watching him in amy movie that I have watched.

  • Classic Eastwood

    Had to complete my ‘70’s Eastwood movie collection and a copy of the Gauntlet did it. The story is a good one and his driving through a hale of bullets in a steel enforced Greyhound bus as an honest cop was quite the sight in the ‘70s cop genre. If you like Dirty Harry movies you will like this one.

  • Sandra Locke & Clint Eastwood Meet in movie

    The item I bought is 'mighty awsome', Sandra locke was a second star as the 1st star was clint eastwood. She's right next to him in the "Metal sides of a city bus" to fight the bad guys. She's a 'knockout' pictured next to Clint. Love this photo. Sincerely, Ron Denman Bend, Ore

  • Excellent action with Clint Eastwood

    I gave this movie to my best friend because he is a big fan of Clint Eastwood and had been wanting to see it for a good while. Of course I know that anything that Mr. Eastwood makes is outstanding.
