I caught the sequel half way through on TV. And I was wondering why the hell he was with Halsey-Taylor in the sequel. I mean, she clearly screwed him over and used him for money in the first one. And in "Any Which Way You Can" all of a sudden, he forgets all her wrong-doings? Messed up.

There's a couple of scenes at the beginning of "Any Which Way You Can" that shows Clint is still extremely upset and angry over what happened. It was dealt with, although I wouldn't have forgiven the b**ch!
Another way of looking at it is that Halsey-Taylor was in the sequel because Clint was still dating Sondra Locke then. I'm sure that had far more weight than any plot reasons.
shareIndeed !
The only reason she was in any film of his post Josey Wales .
I actually like her in Clints films but realise a lot Clints fans disagree

Towards teh beginning of teh sequel, Philo is in a bar where she is performing. She spots him & sits down to talk to him. She explains that her brother (I think) was behind the scamming & that he was a control freak. I guess that's supposed to mean that she always liked Philo but couldn't have a relationship due to the brother's ways. So next thing you know, they are a couple!
shareare you #$#@$@ kidding me or what?!? These movies are Clint Eastwood's "good ole boy" answers to Burt Reynolds' Smokey and the Bandit series. Both are dimwitted, escapist cr@P.
...and you are going to pick apart a minor plot "flaw"!?! No one questions him hanging out with a monkey/o-tang who tears apart cars and punches out random strangers (right turn Clyde), but re-uniting with Sondra Locke strains the film's credibility?!!
What the *beep* is a Chinese Downhill?!?

The whole point of this film was he wanted this chick. Then he finds out it was all a sham. She was a terrible person. I agree it was purely for personal reasons, not any adherence to the film's logic that she returned in part 2.
The first film ends it great, she didn't love him, and he got to throw her scum life back in her face. The beginning of the second film tried to act like that's not how it ended, as if she simply broke his heart but somehow loved him, which is total crap.
Beverly D'Angelo had more right to be in the sequel, her character was a good and adventurous person, still a bit of a wild card. Not a hustler and hooker.
Beverly > Sondra, 100%
It’s hard to imagine how Locke seems to have hypnotized Eastwood for all of those years. You can see the crazy in that girl’s eyes.
Sondra Locke as Lynn Halsey-Taylor was obligated to be in "Any Which Way You Can". It was the SEQUEL.
I liked EWWBL but didn't like the sequel at all. My main complaint was the fact he got back with Halsey.
