31 August 2022
So-so and inferior sequel in which Dooley's from the police force , ready to a new adventure , while with his dog investigating some criminal cases .In this follow-up to the action comedy K-9, Detective Mike Dooley (James Belushi) and his trusty canine companion Jerry Lee . On his way home him and his partner Jerry dog discover there is a stalker called Devon (Wade Williams) who wants Dooley dead . German Shepherd dog, for nearly ten years , but Jerry Lee isn't as young as he once was, - as Jerry Lee can't keep up with chasing Devon during a shootout- , and Dooley's superiors (James Handy as Captain Byers) suggest that maybe it's time that Jerry Lee was retired from the force . Then they get two new partners - a Doberman Pincher named Zeus and his new trainer (Christine Tucci)- . One's just a little smarter than the other ! . Buddy movie about a special couple , a cop and his dog! .Dooley and his K-9 partner Jerry Le. Meet the two toughest cops in town , one's still a little smarter than the other !.

The picture talks about James Belushi , the peculiar Detective Dooley and his K 9 partner , this time accompanied by tomboy female sergeant Welles and her dog Zeus, a young , strong Doberman Pincher . Dooley is a quirky policeman who develops lonely his missions , only helped by his faithful dog Jerry Lee that in the first entry was played by Rando , a 3-year-old German Shepherd from West Germany and trained for 3 months , along the way they will have to confront deal of dangers and here chasing an avenger stalker . The picture is a particular buddy movie because the starring are one person and one dog , the comedy and giggles regarding both of them are continuous . Over 40 dogs were considered but none of the American German Shepherds were deemed suitable . A year-long search was held to find the right dog for the role . The dog chosen , Rando , learned to understand commands in English . There's a previous picture concerning to similar theme upon policeman-dog relationship : ¨Turner and Hooch¨(1989) by Roger Spottiswoode , both of them are similar , though I think the best results to be the film featured by Tom Hanks . Furthermore, ¨Top Dog¨(1995) by Aaron Norris in which Reno The Dog pairs up with tough cop Jake : Chuck Norris in thwarting a criminally terrorist organization.

The flick K-911 (1999) blends humor , action-packed , pursuits , tongue-in-cheek , it has fun but there are moments that's a little boring but when the dogs appear is amusing enough . Being well starred by James Belushi , Christine Tucci as aggressive female detective , James Handy , J. J. Johnston and Wade Williams as disgruntled stalker , a revenger crime novelist Devon Lane who became obsessed with Dooley's wife and he blames Dooley for her death. The trilogy is made up by the following ones : ¨K9¨ ,concerning the police chief : James Handy assigns him as couple , a hound dog with the aim to track down an important drug peddler : Kevin Thige , while his his fiancée : Mel Harris is abducted .The film obtained success at the box office ; however , about ten years later , the same starring James Belushi and the dog (or different dog because had deceased) made this second part what failed and was direct-to-video . In this sequel title K 911 (1999) by Charles T. Kanganis to the action comedy K-9, Detective Mike Dooley and his trusty canine companion Jerry Lee get two new partners - a Doberman Pincher named Zeus and his new beautiful master Christine Tucci .Subsequently had a third part this K-9: P. I. (2002) that was another failure . The yarn K-911 (1999) was regularly directed by Charles T Kanganis who has directed some commercial films in uneven success , getting hits and flops , such as : Chance , Sinners , Rome & Jewel, Daniel the menace strikes again, Race the Sun , Intent to Kill, No escape no return , Deadly Breed , being his greates hit : 3 Ninjas kick back . The flick will appeal to action comedy buffs and dog lovers . Rating : Average 5/10.
