The Gauntlet. 1977.
Alcoholic and mediocre Detective Shockley has to escort a woman prisoner from Las Vegas to Phoenix so she can testify at a mob boss trial, along the way they face obstacles in their path.
This may not be the best film for Clint to star in but he made a good effort in it, I always thought this should have been a Dirty Harry film at times (not to typecast Clint, love Dirty Harry films). Here he is escorting prostitute Gus Malley played by Sondra Locke who doesn't seem pleased about testifying against a big mob boss with connections.
The story does seem to be stupid and has some flaws in it but it has the big guy in it and it is a guilty pleasure, how can a guy in a helicopter with a sniper rifle miss a target on a motorbike or why didn't they shoot the wheels on the bus? It has plenty of gun fights and some good comedy thrown in for the entertainment.
