Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Simply A Masterpiece
Powerful
The acting in this movie is really good.
This is the ultimate 90's action stereotype that is a must see. This movie ticks every box. It's a buddy cop movie, with a dog, Chuck Norris and freaking Nazis. This is the Holy Grail of 90's Cinema! For me this movie was so bad its good, which I think makes it a lot like Flash Gordon in that regard. I think you you want to sum up the essence of the 1990s action in one movie this would be it.
A straight-faced comedy in which Chuck Norris is partnered with a dog. The dog continually gets credit for being a better law enforcement officer than Chuck is. They battle a white supremacist organization who are planning a terrorist attack on San Diego.This is my favorite out of all the buddy-cop dog, action pictures. I would rather watch this than Turner & Hooch, K-9, or Beethoven, because it has some great fight scenes and plenty of action.It also has comedy and is a fun movie to watch. OK, I have to admit that this is not Chuck's best movie but it is still fun! I have not been disappointed in any of the Norris movies. Some of them will be classics in time.Martial arts and Chuck Norris...what more do you want! 8 out of 10 stars
Chuck Norris stars as a cop who gets a K9 partner and then proceeds to kick white supremacists' asses all over the place with the help from the ugly pooch. I assume that Top Dog was meant to be a barrel of laughs and after all who hasn't given us more laughter then Chuck Norris? I mean we will never forget the way Firewalker made us feel. However the dog, though meant to be lovable, is to me a gigantic pain in the ass. The stupid dog is begging for donuts, stealing food and supposedly finding clues. Chuck Norris is even worse as he is supposedly a rough and tumble cop complete with a messy bachelor pad. Once again Norris isn't funny and neither is the dog. Although Top Dog did have 1995's most awkward moment of the year. That is when the dog attacks the pope and nearly kills the man add in the factor that people are killed and people yell racial slurs at regular intervals. Of course racism, blood thirsty violence and physical attacks on religious figures makes for great entertainment for the little tykes. After all we seem to embrace the children who go ape and starts shooting up their schools...So why not market a movie at a younger age so little tykes can wipe out the popular kids at a younger age. It's a genius plan, after all how cool would it be to return to your ten year reunion knowing that eight of the popular kids won't be attending due to your 4th grade shooting spree. Those crazy kids... * out of 4-(Bad)
A disappointment. For the first time Chuck has betrayed me. I was ready to roll on the floor laughing for Aaron's unmeaning comedy with my buddies, but no. The only effect was a disgrace and a voice in my head saying "Oh no, you can't really do that.." There was only one scene that made us really laugh, (again one with some unmeaning comedy so typical to the Norris brothers) the one where Reno is driving a car with some leather helmet in his head. We were reversing it again and again wondering w h a t on earth they were thinking. From where did that vision flash into the head of Aaron "the Vision" Norris?In the end there's nothing funny, and nothing good in this flick. If you want to chuckle for Chuck then I absolutely recommend Forest Warrior. Perhaps Aaron needed to do this, on the road to Forest Warrior. Top Dog was a step on his way to blossom in Forest Warrior.
