Ignoring the stuff he did in the 50s, beginning with A Fistful of Dollars, it's hard to argue that either Bronco Billy or Firefox is better than Heartbreak Ridge. I actually liked all three movies, but they are not his best work - face it, Clint has had the luxury of being in good roles early, and taking control of his career about 35 years ago. Some of his much lesser known works - at least to more casual film fans - The Beguiled and Honkytonk Man, contain some of his best performances.

Worst Clint movie ever? I'd say that's pretty definite.

Anyone who claims they've seen the worst Clint movie ever without mentioning City Heat as a contender is a fricking piker.

That was a horrible meandering mess of a film, in part because the studio figured that they didn't need a script when they had box office winners Clint Eastwood and Burt Reynolds together on-screen.

That being said, I'll agree that Bronco Billy and Firefox should also be in the discussion.
