This is a typical Hollywood cop movie, you can tell this when at the beginning a car is shot up with a machine gun and it blows up. I do really doubt that a simple machine gun will cause a car to blow up. I think that it will more likely riddle it with holes and leak petrol everywhere.K-9 is about a cop with a attitude. He is on the trail of a drug lord who is smuggling drugs through Los Angeles. This is the typical cop movie where the drug smuggler is an ultra-rich millionaire and also very untouchable, and even an idol to the community. Dooley (James Belushi) is simply a cop with a very bad attitude and simply has a problem with the human race. This is why I find it strange that he has a girlfriend, and in reality downright unrealistic. At the beginning of the movie he is having a row with her, and honestly he doesn't even seem to want to make it work out, and when things start to fall apart, it is not his fault. Seriously, Dooley really needs to open his eyes and look at himself.He doesn't want to work with a human, but realises that he needs a dog to find some drugs in a warehouse, so he helps out a friend by catching two gunmen, after ramming a very expensive car which he hired using somebody else's credit card, through the front of a house. And the car rental guy lets him get away with it – he was asking to loose that car. Anyway, He gets the dog and the dog turns out to be a lemon. He searches the warehouse only to find a guy smoking a joint, while Dooley is becoming the laughing stock of the warehouse workers.Now the dog is good, a little too human in parts, but good. I love German Shepherds, they are just the most beautiful dogs, so that is why I liked this movie. If it wasn't for the dog then there wouldn't have been much to make this movie. The dog has its quirks, which makes it interesting. If the dog didn't have a mind of its own, nor acted like a human, then this movie would have been nothing. It is only that the dog with an attitude gets stuck with a cop with an attitude that this movie rises above garbage.

I do agree the story is predictable, and the ending didn't quite excite or move me. However, it does work surprisingly well as a man-and-dog buddy movie. The film is at least nice to watch, the soundtrack is decent, the direction is good and the script does have a few laughs that makes the experience enjoyable. And the acting is very spirited- Jerry-Lee is the star of the show, very well trained and cute, while James Belushi is always watchable and Mel Harris is appealing and sexy.Overall, this is a surprisingly good buddy movie with enough humorous moments and spirited performances to make it worth watching. 8/10 Bethany Cox

Narcotics Cop Thomas Dooley(James Belushi) is an unusual off-beat person... who loves to work alone. One day, his boss (Cotther Smith) wants Dooley find an new partner. He decides to use an K-9 named Jerry Lee (Koton), who has the best nose for the drug-busting business. At first, Dooley and Jerry Lee don't get along until they share a few things in common. At the same time, Dooley does his best with his love life (Mel Harris) and trying to bust a prominent socialite (Kevin Tighe). Thomas and his new partner are in for a wild ride.Directed by Rod Daniel (Beethoven's 2nd, Like Father Like Son, Teen Wolf) made an enjoyable if silly cop between an relationship with a man and a dog. Belushi and especially Koton are good in the film. There's some hilarious moments, which this movie is aimed at kids but there's some violent scenes as well.DVD has an sharp anamorphic Widescreen (1.85:1) transfer and an good Dolby Surround 2.0 Sound. DVD features are basically like the original theatrical trailer and cast & filmmakers' bios. "K-9" was an surprise box office hit. But the relationship between a man and a dog came out months earlier in 1989, which it has some of the same premise titled "Turner & Hooch". But i feel that "K-9" is the better film than the other one. But that's up to the viewer to decide. There's some familiar faces in "K-9" in bit parts like Ed O'Neill, Alan Blumenfeld, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Dan Castellaneta (Best Known as the voice of Homer Simpson on "The Simpsons") and William Salder. "K-9" was so popular on video, there was two Direct to Video movies produced... starring James Belushi. "K-9" is a good cop comedy with some genuine laughs. Worth seeing. (****/*****).

K-9 is a typical eighties buddy-cop film...the bad guys are deliciously cliché-bad (take the villains in Lethal Weapon as an example), the hair dues are strange and well...just plain bad, the hero cop is considered 'a loose canon' by his superiors,...K-9 is probably one of the only movies of this genre that is actually very good. Jim Belushi carries the film on his own and his comic performance is wonderful. Of course we musn't forget Jerry Lee, who really is an exceptional dog, in real life too. The humor is witty and so over-the-top that it becomes good again. It's one of those films that's simply impossible not to love ( like Men In Black).I feel great every time I watch this movie and I never miss it when it's on TV. It's highly recommended for everyone, though I think mostly males will enjoy this.8/10
