Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

You know it's going to be a clunker when you see the screenplay-by-committee, based-on-an-idea-by credits--bad enough--and then you realize you never heard of ANY of these 4 guys. Somebody had a light-bulb moment and said "Let's make a Clint Eastwood cowboy movie set in NYC!" Then got the $$. Then got Don Siegel who must've been recovering from surgery because I had trouble keeping my eyes open--as he must have as well. Then: save some $$ by filming street scenes on the Universal lot and not on actual streets like a cheesy TV sitcom. Add some phony bloody face makeup. Then: finish with a dumb motorcycle drive around Inwood Hill Park (that apparently was really filmed there) with a nothing ending. Oh, and let's not forget: have one revolting misogynistic scene after another, including some ha-ha about elder rape. Bleh.

Exciting Don Siegel cop thriller plenty of thrills, action , fights and emotion . Brave , tough cop , Clint Eastwood , goes to N.Y in order to transport a killer fugitive , Don Stroud , but the murderer escapes. Then , the killer on the loose through the N.Y.City streets . The deputy sets out in pursuit and to track him down by suffering a dangerous , risked pursuit.First Siegel-Eastwood teaming and subsequently following : ¨Two mules for Sister Sara¨, ¨The beguiled¨ , ¨Dirty Harry¨ in which Clint also played a cop , and ¨Escape from Alcatraz¨. This one results to be a tense actioner containing some extremely thrilling chase sequences at its final , while Eastwood and Stroud riding motorcycles . The famous and successful TV series MacCloud with Dennis Weaver was based on this movie ; in fact , Herman Miller had written the story for Coogan's Bluff and then later changed a few details to create McCloud . Support cast is frankly well. Don Stroud shines as a violent murderous . Lee J Cobb as chief inspector gives an strong and outstanding performance, as usual . And enjoyable and attractive Susan Clark as a lovely parole officer who falls in love for him . Furthermore , brief but agreeable acting from Tisha Sterling , last film role for veteran Betty Field , James Edwards , Seymour Cassel and David Doyle , previous to Charlie's Angels . It features a moving and adequate musical score by Lalo Schifrin in his ordinary style of the seventies . It packs an evocative and atmospheric cinematography by Bud Thackery and uncredited Robert Surtees . This tumble and rough motion picture was professionally directed by Donald Siegel (Telephon , The shooter , The Black Windmill , Madigan , The Killers) though has a few gaps and flaws . However , original filmmaker was Alex Segal , who withdrew shortly before production began . Rating : acceptable and passable . The yarn will appeal to Clint fans . Well worth seeing.

This movie is about an Arizona sheriff (EASTWOOD) who accompanies his extradited prisoner and loses him in Manhattan. Coogan (EASTWOOD) must find his prisoner during this film Eastwood meets pimps,crooks,hippies and cops along the way. This film featured Clint Eastwood, Susan Clark, Don Stroud & lee.J.Cobb and was directed by Don Siegal.In my opinion this was a smart career move by Eastwood to take on the role of Coogan i can't see another person who would have played the role as well as Eastwood. A very good film with very good actors and a great director 90 minutes well spent watching this film, I highly recommend this film ****/*****

A fish-out-of-water comic action film in which Eastwood's cop cowboy is sent to New York to track down an escaped criminal. Once there, his Stetson-wearing character causes chaos in the local police department, while taking time out to romance a beautiful flame-haired woman.COOGAN'S BLUFF is very much a slight and lightweight piece of filmmaking that can't hold a candle to the star's more serious police thrillers and westerns. That's not to say it's unwatchable, though; in fact it's fairly appealing, trading in on the star's youthful charm and giving him more of a chance to experiment with comedy than he usually gets. As the film progresses, he finds himself caught up in the era's counter-culture movement with some memorable results.Don Siegel shot the film, so it looks great. There isn't a great deal of action, but it does close off with a rousing motorbike chase which is one of the most inventive I've seen on film; playing things simple always works out for the best in the end. Lee J. Cobb delivers an amusing turn as the exasperated lieutenant and Susan Clark (best known as 'Cherry Forever' in PORKY'S) is fine as the would-be love interest. Eastwood's character, a forerunner of Dirty Harry, is understated but also deliciously amoral and his visit to a liberal club makes for an amusing highlight.
