johnny-w When my 14-year-old daughter and her friends get together for movie night, there's one movie they insist on watching over and over again: You guessed it, K-911, the third installment in the highly successful K-9 franchise starring everybody's favorite TV dad, Jim Belushi.Folks, I knew it was possible to wear out a VHS tape, but a DVD?! This has been played so often that it's starting to skip; no joke! But of course you'll have that when you own a film so charming, so brilliant.Of course, we have to thank the one and only Tom Hanks for introducing us to the beloved Cop-Dog genre with Turner and Hooch; however, even that film doesn't measure up to the sheer excellence presented in all three K-9 movies.Some nay-sayers say Belushi ran out of steam with this third movie in the series. Poppycock, I say. While you might suspect that a third installment - direct-to-video, at that - may not seem like something worth watching, you'd prove yourself wrong after watching this quality movie.I won't give away the plot, but I will say that Belushi and his panting partner give their best performance yet - one that will have you HOWLING with laughter! It's a shame John Belushi isn't alive to see what great strides his brother has made in the acting world.I highly recommend your teenage daughter introduces this film to her BFFs at her next slumber party. Don't forget the puppy chow!
davd_mt The Biggest one that bugs the hell out of me is that they say Zues takes DUTCH commands. But she is speaking German to him. The 2 languishes are completely different, its like saying "well he takes French commands" and start talking Spanish.James Belushi gives more the feeling of being a comedy actor not a detective in the slightest. The role just doesn't fit him, even if its mend to be a comedy.To many stereotype/predicable stuff. Typical comment or comebacks.If you don't look at those things i think it could be a nice movie to watch if its ever on TV. But i wouldn't suggesting renting it.
bob the moo Dooley and Jerry Lee are still on the force when they have a rough two weeks of almost being killed – ending in a huge gunfight where they fail to catch the suspect because they are out of shape. They are given new partners in Welles and her über-hound Zeus. Despite the misunderstandings and Jerry Lee's crisis of confidence they start to hunt down the man who burns with anger against Dooley.I wanted to hate this, I must admit. I thought this was going to be rubbish and that I wouldn't get though 5 minutes. I was right, in that it has plenty of flaws, but it was still diverting enough to be slightly enjoyable. The plot is Stupid (note the capital S!), some nonsense about a killer after Dooley because of a bad book review. The way they track him down is dumb and if you want to follow the movie I suggest you give logic and reason the night off. The action scenes are rubbish, be it a rocket launcher attack or a massive shootout where no-one (NO-ONE) gets hit at all. I know it's a kids movie but this is too much.The comedy is basic but at least it isn't just a retread of all the dog versus man jokes. It's still a love/hate buddy cop thing thought and it gets pretty tiresome after a while. Belushi tries hard but he's no Bill Murray. He simply can't carry the movie and his clowning is a bit much. Tucci is too straight laced and her "Dutch" is a joke. The dogs are OK but really lack character and I could only ever see them as well trained animals and not in terms of personalities or characters.The film sets out it's production values from the first 5 minutes onwards. At the start we see Dooley get out of the shower. He is naked from the waist up but in the mirror behind him it is clear that he is wearing underwear! How did they miss this mistake!!!! It is repeated all the way though with tonnes of continuity mistakes – I never notice goofs in movies but here they are everywhere and really obvious. It's not a big problem but it does show how cheap this film is and how little care was put into it.Overall this made me laugh a few times but mostly AT the film and not WITH it. Belushi tries hard but the material is poor and the production values are so low that it's obvious that no-one wanted to make a good film – but just make a cheap film that would make a small profit on video and TV. Like I said, if you're in a silly mood, drunk, high or just a really undemanding (or dumb) person then you'll love this. If you're normal then you may just be able to stand it for 90 minutes but will struggle to use the word `enjoyed' when you tell your friends about it.
ahodge Arrrrrggghhhhhh, some people take life far too seriously!!! Watch this film for what it is, sit back, relax and have a giggle. The film does not take itself seriously, so neither should we. If you like James Belushi, you will like this film. If he is not your cup of tea - give it a miss.I like James Belushi, so I liked this film. So simple isn't it?? :-)
