In 1984, Clint Eastwood teamed with another screen icon for City Heat, which became one of the star’s biggest disappointments. While Eastwood has worked non-stop since the 1950s, it’s fair to say the 1980s was one of his weaker decades. If anything, the reception to City Heat is emblematic of his spotty record during the decade. Outside of Clint resurrecting the Western genre with Pale Rider in 1985 or helming his own favorite movie, Bronco Billy, much of his output like would-be blockbuster Firefox or lame action-comedy Pink Cadillac proved very disappointing.
