Un poliziotto a 4 zampe 2

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.

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

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.

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!!!!

Detective Dooley (James Belushi) and Jerry Lee are back. This time the police captain feels that Dooley and Jerry Lee may be getting a little too old to cut it. Welles (Christine Tucci) and her dog, Zeus are teamed up with Dooley and Jerry Lee.

Someone has been trying to gun down Detective Dooley. He and Jerry Lee must figure out who would want to kill Dooley. With Welles and Zeus in the hand the team tries to figure out who may have a vendetta against Dooley. Finally, they figure that a disgruntled author has a beef with Dooley. Can Dooley and Jerry Lee still cut it and take down the bad guys with the help of their new partners?

K-911 is a good mixture of action and comedy, that will appeal to Belushi fans as well as dog lovers.
