Mein Partner mit der kalten Schnauze 2

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?? :-)

I grew up loving the first K-9 & watched it over & over on video so when i heard that James Belushi said in a radio interview that he was making a straight to video sequel to K-9 back in the late 90's i was extremely excited as i was already obsessed with the first Classic Cop Comedy. K-911 is a DTV gem, a sequel that is nearly as good as the 80's classic.

I don't care what anyone says, this movie is one of the most enjoyable, charming & feelgood films out there!!! Jim Belushi is on top comic form & is having so much fun back as silly Dooley. Although there's obviously a little cheese with being a comedy about a menacing police dog & his silly owner/partner, yes there's those childish moments of silly humour but really it all goes together so nicely. Fart jokes & silliness are all apart of it's cheap 90's video store charm. Good fun all around & a feel good vibe that makes you smile. K-911 is simple light entertainment that is a nice breezy B-movie buddy comedy. K-911 probably will never be some sort of lost gem or a forgotten cult classic but it will always be to me a lighthearted warm Nostalgic little cop film. Well K-911 is a little gem to me & a film i often turn to when i want something real easy & lighthearted to watch on a night. Just seeing Jim Belushi & hearing his iconic voice & quick witted humour is a sense of comfort for me as I've always been a Jim Belushi fan. Back in the late 90's & early 2000's i was constantly tracking down Jim Belushi films & would find his films at a cool little video store called Enterprise Video. In that store they had shelves dedicated to actors & there was a James Belushi shelf with a bunch of his movies on vhs & i collected many. Also i sort out Jim Belushi films in Blockbuster & discovered many gems of his early 2000's DTV output such as Angel's Dance for an example. So whenever i put on a Belushi film it transports me back to simpler & better times when videos ruled & the world made sense.

I love James Belushi i think he's one of the greatest actors of all time!!! Belushi can be hilarious in goofy comedies & then be a tough guy in a deadly serious Thriller & that is what being a brilliant actor is all about.

He's fantastic in serious films such as Gang Related,Retroactive,Traces of Red,One way out & Separate Lives Among others & i grew up watching this great guy & collected any videos starring James Belushi, he's always been one of my favourite actors.

K-911 is a lovely little easy going Cop Comedy Thriller, it still has that old school cop Thriller feel (90's thriller feel) with alot more added fun & comedy. It's a joy to see my old buddies back, Detective Dooley & Jerry Lee. I also really like Belushi's wardrobe for his Dooley character in this movie, it's the best I've seen Belushi look in a movie. I appreciate that Belushi resembles the ordinary everyman even down to his "dadbod". It's refreshing to have a lead hero on screen that isn't a ripped-to-shreds meathead, Belushi is the average joe with a gun & a badge & i love it.

James Belushi is on top comic form again in this sequel but although he goofs around & there's alot of fun silly moments there's still heartfelt drama especially in a lovely sad little scene where Dooley is going to bed & sits on the edge looking at an old photo of himself with his wife who has passed away from an illness & it's a very sad moment with that bit of depth that tells me the new director cares about the characters & it's a touching moment to show how Dooley is still missing Tracey & seems so lost without her but of course he still has his faithful partner & buddy Jerry Lee by his side.

This plays as a fun comedy but also does turn into a Thriller when things get dangerous when a psycho who is obsessed with Dooley's late wife begins targeting Dooley.

So there's a well thought out backstory that opens up & nice connections to the Tracey character (Dooley's wife) so this feels like a proper sequel.

K-911 has a solid little story & a heartwarming buddy cop drama going for it as well as seeing our favourite cop duo older in life & a new case to follow them on & the film is just so sweet & nice & that a joy to watch in these dark times!!! Nice piece of Escapism

This is a low-budget straight to video movie but it's still well made & very entertaining but of course I'm aware it's not got the same quality as the Classic first film but for me it's just nice having a Sequel to one of my all time favourite films & a Sequel so late, 10 years later!!!

The tone is different than the 80's classic but it's now the late 90's so it's filmed differently & obviously on a small budget & it's gone for more light hearted family fun but it's ok to be different as we don't want the exact same or a remake so it's fine. Actually for a low-budget sequel it's as good as the original, but it often like sequels over the first films. I prefer Ghostbusters 2 & Predator 2 & The Rescuers Down Under & Die Hard 2 & Robocop 2, all better than the first films in my opinion.

Another little change is he's now LAPD rather than San Diego PD but in the big time gap since '89 he's obviously moved departments so thats a nice fresh little touch & Dooley now lives in a lovely big house in the suburbs & other nice little touch is his old boss Captain Byers (James Handy) is back & still swinging for Dooley as a little in joke from the first film.

There's some romance too with a new cop duo with the lovely Sgt.wells (Chrisine Tucci) & her dog Zues who Dooley seems to be falling for & it's all played really nicely & you see what a warm nice guy Detective Dooley really is.

It's still sad that Tracey has died but that's life for real so that adds some dark depth to this fun cop comedy & James Belushi is definitely enjoying himself back as Dooley & there's a nice fun training montage with happy music while watching Dooley & Jerry Lee try to get back in shape it's a lovely scene.

There's lots to like & enjoy & this movie will put a smile on your face.

I often rate little B-movies or Direct-to-dvd films higher than most big budget films because they don't try to be anything other than what they are, great entertainment & fun. We like what we like & that's it.

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.

I don't much remember the first K9 movie, which I've seen once. I rented this movie out of pure curiousity and was not dissapointed. It is incredibly entertaining and funny at the same time. James Belushi is solid as a rock as always, continuing to show us why he is so well suited to light comedic movies. At his side is Mac, as Jerry Lee, his canine partner, who is incredibly talented and well trained and is responsible for some of the more funny moments in the film. Another interesting thing about this movie is that the plot is so different from the first movie. Whereas in the first movie it focused on the relationship between Dooley( Belushi) and Jerry Lee, this one focuses on the fact that Jerry Lee is getting old and is about due for retirement and Dooley's reaction to this. As well as that Dooley and Jerry Lee have to contend with a bad guy that has ties to Dooley and wants revenge. Quite entertaining and worth watching. 8/10

K-911 lacks the same charm as its predecessor. The new recruits lacked chemistry and the storyline was a stretch.
