Naa, if they tried to revive the redneck comedy genre, like "Which Way" or "Smokey/Bandit," it would be awful those movies were funny in their day, but they just wouldn't work today, not with the political correctness and cookie cutter actors and actresses we have today.

You are correct about the "politically correctness" way that would ruin the movie if something like that was made today.

I do not count Million Dollar Baby as a third installment to Any Which Way You can or the Any Which Way. Sorry guy.

Clint Eastwood is 83 years old. The ship sailed on a "Which" sequel many years ago. I wonder if there was one planned in the '80s. It would have made sense. The first two movies were very successful at the box office. Clint made five Dirty Harry films. He made three Spaghetti Westerns also known as the Man with No Name Trilogy. Why only two "Which" movies?

Eastwood kept coming back to Callahan in large part because he kept finding fresh scripts and thus clever challenges (to the character or, in some cases, to the critics). He may have come back one time too many, but the first four films, at least, kept breaking new ground and providing ironic developments. But if he had just been repeating the first movie, Eastwood probably would have never made a single sequel to
Dirty Harry
. Give John Milius credit for developing the ingenious idea of having Harry go up against some real executioners on the police force, allowing everyone to see what fascism really looks like and how the critics of the original film proved so off-base. But without those types of great ideas, Eastwood would not have come back to the character.
Thus he was not going to make a third Philo Beddoe movie just for the sake of it, and he probably never came across another decent script for him.
