It's K-9, a film about a cop and a dog. Now there's something in comparison to Turner and Hooch, with it's comedic elements with a funny pooch dog and Tom Hanks and a sad ending. OK, I don't wanna be thinking about it again. This one does theIt's K-9, a film about a cop and a dog. Now there's something in comparison to Turner and Hooch, with it's comedic elements with a funny pooch dog and Tom Hanks and a sad ending. OK, I don't wanna be thinking about it again. This one does the same thing and people slammed it for being lacking, lacking some sense of comedy and not being funny. James Belushi as Mike Dooley is out to track down a drug dealer called Lyman but he was set up and now he gets a new partner which is a dog named Jerry Lee. Now what is it with K-9 which looks similar to Turner and Hooch? Well, I don't know. I'll leave you to figure it out for yourself and see what you like better. With what I got with Turner and Hooch and with now what I've got with K-9, I just think it's better than each other. And do I think it's better than with what it is with Turner and Hooch? That's a little trickier. I mean the ending is not sad and thank Christ, I didn't cry at it. But with what I think of it, I do got some of sense of comedy in this movie. James Belushi is funny and I really like it when the dog looks away from Dooley making him not knowing that he is alive, And in many respects, I would almost rather watch this than Turner and Hooch, now that is to say it's not very popular at that time but still lifts up to it's fans. If you like both of them alot more, be their guests. See if K-9 can do you any good and see what you think of it or not.… Expand

K-9 is basically a comedy action thriller Starring James Belushi, Kevin Tighe and Mel Harris... Directed in 1989 by Rod Daniel and I'll say James Belushi is pretty hilarious at times as officer Dooley and also weird and over the top and sillyK-9 is basically a comedy action thriller Starring James Belushi, Kevin Tighe and Mel Harris... Directed in 1989 by Rod Daniel and I'll say James Belushi is pretty hilarious at times as officer Dooley and also weird and over the top and silly and even more so when he gets teamed up with a dog. This film feels like a rip off of the movie Turner & Hooch which was actually funnier and a better movie. Kevin Tighe as the badguy comes across as a coward at times and stubborn and most importantly unlikeable most of the time. Best scene in the movie is the dog being put through a carwash for me but the rest is dogfood. K-9 contains bad language and violence and maybe some sex… Expand
