I've just researched Clint Eastwood films and he didn't appear to make a many films in the 80's?
JB would have been 20 in 1981 - so his 20's would be up until 1990..
And he was 24 when he was arrested, so.....
I've only found 2 movies starring Eastwood in the early 80's?
Same for Redford?
Maybe the local cinemas were 'rehashing' the old films?

or maybe he's confused?
