Dies und das:

So incensed were the American Veterinary Association about the depiction of a vet as leader of a dog-napping ring, they fired off a letter of protest to Jack Valenti, head of the Motion Picture Association of America.

Pannen:

Abfolgefehler: When the vet gets the bullets to the gun, it is said that the bullets will explode on contact. Well, when the gun is shot later on in the movie, the bullet does not explode.

Dialogzitate:

George Newton: Any kind of weirdness and Beethoven is gone!
Alice Newton: Weirdness? What should I watch for, hon? Wearin' my clothes around the house?

What a load of nonsense

Good for kids bad for...actually forget that. Bad for everybody. I hated this film when I was a kid and I hate it now. The only thing it has going for it is seeing David Duchovny in his pre-Mulder days. If Twin Peaks isn't your cup of tea of course.
