Superagente K-911

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

Usually, a sequel is the result of a film that was highly entertaining, leaving us wanting more. SILENCE of the LAMBS would be a good example, as are the STAR WARS and INDIANA JONES sequels. So, why K-9? Did the first one work us up enough to warrant a sequel? Was the chemistry between Belushi and Jerry Lee the stuff that dreams are made of? Please!!!!!

This film hashes up some plot about a writer stalking Belushi because Belushi's ex-wife (now dead) had some interest in his writing. The stalker blames Belushi for the death. A game of cat and mouse ensues. Throw in a female cop with her own dog, Dutch, and let the fun begin. Unfortunately, there was no fun to be had.

The film tries to be cute and funny, though I found it to be awful-funny. You know, so awful that it was pretty funny someone would greenlight this picture into production. The film depends on Belushi to carry the humor, though I found him irritating in a Gilbert Gottfried type of way. If you're under ten years old, you'll probably dig Belushi's wacky, over-the-top comedic performance. And if you like this film, might I recommend another comedic epic disaster masterpiece, KRIPPENDORF'S TRIBE. On the Steveo Cheese Scale from Yanni to Carrot Top, Carrot Top being best, this film ranks a solid Corey Feldman!!!!

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.

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.

Ten years after the first movie, James Belushi, one of the most gifted, and over looked light comedic actors of the last twenty years, returns as Detective Dooley for this movie.

If you are expecting more of the same from the first movie, you will be disappointed, but this is still a good movie. Realizing that all the Dog vs. Man battle of wills scenarios had probably been used up in the first movie, this one turns slightly more psychological in its approach as it concentrates on a criminal with a fixation with Dooley's recently deceased wife after she rejected his book, and blames Dooley for her death.

The script may not be the best, but the movie allows both Belushi and Christine Tucci to show their good acting ability, while still retaining enough of the light humour of the first movie to make it work, and the chemistry between the two stars is there for all to see.

An easy, light going movie, which, while maybe not worth a purchase unless you are a true fan of either the first movie or Belushi, definately worth a watch when it comes on TV.
