Not a buddy-cop movie..... quite., 28. Mai 1999

Author: Neil Ferris (n.ferris@uea.ac.uk) von Norwich, England

For a short time during the eighties, Hollywood discovered to concept of the Buddy-Dog movie with this and Turner & Hooch coming out in the same year.

This is probably the funniest of the two with Belushi delivering another wonderful comic performance. However, it is probably slightly poorer than the Tom Hanks film as the script is less rounded, with only the fairly run-of-the-mill drug smuggling story to occupy you.

However, the action and laughs keep coming throughout the movie, leaving another underrated, overlooked comedy gem from Belushi. I can't wait for the sequel coming out this year.

Fun movie, 18. Mai 2003

Author: LivingDog von NYC, NY

James Belushi and the dog named "Jerry Lee" make an excellent pair in this fun cop romp. The duo make a natural pair and Belushi puts in an excellent performance without getting behind the lovable "Jerry Lee," who gets animated very aptly by excellent editting and direction.

Fun movie, see it.

I Love It, 24. Januar 2004

Author: TheHig von England

As a young child, K-9 was one of my favourite films, and although my tastes have matured with time, this is still a very funny film, with one of the most underrated actors ever, James Belushi. Playing the superb Bill Murray deadpan style, but usually as a cop, rather than Murray's humorous loser roles, Belushi is a likeable dodgy cop. The end scene in the hospital is the best man and dog conversation ever, although Jerry Lee jumping in the poodle's car runs it pretty close.

My rating : 9 out of 10

One of the best canine-cop movies I've seen!!, 18. Juni 2006

Author: michaelzstuff von California

James Belushi) is a "loose cannon" cop. He has to do everything his own way on his own time and doesn't know the meaning of the word, "team-work" But after he screws up his last bust by buying a car from a car dealer and five minutes later proceeds to crash it into a building where the bad guys are dealing dope, he is assigned a new partner, a dog! To be exact. A rouge German Shepard that wants to be treated more like a person than a dog.

Belushi is very convincing and hilarious in his role as a cop, and the dog, surprisingly (I never thought I'd write this), was a great actor and did a terrific job. Hat's off to his handler!

There are predictable and very typical cop vs. bad guy moments, but overall I thought the movie was an extremely funny cop-doggy comedy, with a very predictable but humorous ending to it.

When compared to other cop-dog movies like "Turner and Hooch," it's a credit to Belushi's comedic timing that this film wound up on the top 250!

The funniest Cop/Dog comedy yet, 9. Juli 2000
Author: MovieKing-4 von minniapolis

James Belushi is the cop, Dewley, who seems to have spent most of his time chasing after the same guy, the drug lord Lyman played Kevin Tighe. And is then finally forced to get a partner in the shape of Jerry Lee the German Shepard dog. They have a very comedic relationship quite like that of Turner and Hooch.

Things take a dangerous turn for Dewley and Jerry Lee when Dewley's girlfriend Tracey, played by Mel Harris, is taken hostage by Lyman. A tragic outcome that turns out great in the end, and even Jerry Lee gets to have a girlfriend.

Great acting by James Belushi, Mel Harris and Jerry Lee. A score of 7 out of 10.

Superior to the Chuck Norris/Dog Attempt, And One Of Belushi's Finest., 22. April 2007

Author: Fiendish_Dramaturgy von .: Fiendish Writings in the Dark :.

This is NOT the best cop/dog movie, but it IS superior to the Chuck Norris/pooch flick. Personally, I found Turner and Hooch to be superior to this work, but it is still enjoyable, and comes in second to my favorite.

HOwever, this is witty, and funny enough to be endearing, without resorting to Jim Belushi's usual tactics, although he does employ the beginning of those posturing and chest-beating tactics here. But they are not so dominant that the movie suffers. In fact, they play well in this situation, though it IS sad to watch a grown man who is romantically jealous of a dog.

This fails any Oscar possibilities, but I do not honestly believe that would surprise those involved with this work. The bottom line: This is a fun movie. It fails to warm the heart as well as Turner and Hooch, but does not make you feel sorry for the dog like some other movies have, along this venue. It is entertaining and fun, and rates a 6.6/10 from...

the Fiend :.

Better than the reviews make it sound, 2. Februar 1999
Author: Matt-183

K-9 is a somewhat predictable comedy about a man and his drug dog. Belushi does a good job playing Michael Dooley, a person whose only pet previous to owning Jerry Lee (the dog) was fish. Fairly convincing performance by Kevin Tighe as the drug-smuggling millionaire. The acting was a bit thin at times, but not a bad movie.

Good rainy day movie, 2. Mai 2007

Author: MacgyverColumbo von United States

If your sitting around have nothing to do go to watch a movie well this is a pretty good one to watch. This is my second favorite James Bulushi movie after Real men. I love the way the movie starts with them shooting up Bulushi's car they always seem to be shooting up his cars in these k9 movies. It's decent action movie with some funny moments. Hey some big dogs humping my Aretha,Oh! I feel good. Belushi's girl friend in this movie is extremely hot I give her a 10. The dogs pretty good in the movie even though I don't really like that type of dog. All around it's a good movie. Bulushi never ends up beating that weird little game he's always playing.

What can I say about this wonderful movie?, 13. August 2006

Author: John Hodgson von United Kingdom

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

It's been a number years since I watched this movie, and like so many movies from this era, I had anticipated that my fond memories of Jerry Lee and Dooley would be clouded by the rose coloured spectacles of nostalgia, however, I was wrong.

Parts of this movie, like so many others of it's ilk, are locked in that eighties timeframe, yet, I enjoyed this movie more than when I first saw it. Yes, it has its faults; it is predictable and at times, over simplistic, yet it held my attention from beginning to end.

This is one of those movies that exceeds the sum of it's parts. Although out shadowed by Turner and Hooch, this movie delivers so much more in the way of laughs and down to earth fun. Unlike Tom Hanks's character; Dooley is not perfect; his faults are many yet he is a likable character. There's no blossoming love interest, he's already happily married, and he really isn't searching for anything within his life. Dooley is a man who knows where his life is, and although this may not be where he wants to be, he is happy.

And Jerry Lee? Well anyone familiar with German Shepherd dogs will identify with this movie. Whether intentional or not, this movie captures the fun loving and at times mischievous persona of these dogs, which is in stark contrast to the role often found for German Shepherds on TV and in the movies. This is without a doubt my favourite doggy caper ever. It's not a perfect movie and most people will see it's many faults yet it is fun. And far from the usual scruffy mutt and lovable kid movie it's a kids movie made for adults and this is why it works. Some will love it, others will hate it, yet if you ignore the dated looks and predictability I'm sure enjoyment will ensue; therefore, just sit back with some friends and enjoy what is still a great movie.

A very funny film (possible spoilers!), 21. August 2003
Author: JLJ061 von Missouri, USA

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

I think K-9 was a very funny film in its own right, and Jim Belushi does a good acting job in the shadows of his late brother. Many say K-9 is simply trying to copy Turner and Hooch, but I don't see this as the case... both movies have their own merits and shortcomings, but that doesn't make either of them any worse. Jerry Lee's role in the movie was simply outstanding. I love the Jaws Theme as he sneaks up under the covers between Tracy and Dooley in bed!
