The Daring Dobermans

This film is a direct continuation of the first part with the six Doberman running in the wilderness after the Bulldog. But it never showed what happened to the Bulldog or the dog trainer. It also never clarified whether anyone survived from the first part. What happened to June (Julie Parrish)?

In the first one there was a professional dog trainer but here it is jus a small boy n a bunch of men without any experience.

Anyway this film is again about a bunch of fellas training the same dogs to commit a robbery. While the first one was very innovative, with tension n humour n a solid training regime, this one is a bit boring n jus an xcuse to cash in on the success of its predecessor. First saw this in the late 80s on a vhs. Revisited it recently on a pirated dvd with a solid print n audio. This one is not available on YouTube. The third one Amazing Dobermans is available on YouTube but now m exhausted n do not want to revisit it.

Oh,man, flipped to Los Intrepidos Doberman just a second ago because the title is so hilarious. Not disappointed by the ensuing nonsense. It has it all. Dog training montages. Adorable native American boy. There's another montage right now. Just a second after 'the training the doberman montage'. Now they are building a house. Oh, this is great and felt the need to share it with all of you.

Oh, try to catch the scene of the dude you've seen a thousand times in things in the carpet store. Hmm, howdy. Now they're having doberman olympics.

Please set this on your DVR.

Do you want to laugh non-stop at the most ridiculous and comical movie ever made? I "think" The Daring Dobermans was intended to be a serious movie, but please please don't watch it that way. If you can look at it as a joke, the movie is extremely entertaining. Otherwise, don't waste your time as this is by far one of the worst movies I've seen.

Note: These movies are not comic! They're light action/adventure movies. I do not remember a single comic scene in this movie or its predecessor.

I watched "the Doberman Gang" and this one back to back. I gave this an 8 while the predecessor a 9. Although the acting was better in this one, the only plausible reason for the difference in my mind was the "usualness" of it all when I watched the second one.

The training sequences in both of them are amazing and there was a lot of detail in the plot. The schemes were well-thought over and well-explained. I give credit to the writers, directors, trainers and almost everyone else who worked in this difficult movie and achieved near-perfection in its execution.

This sequel to the low budget heist flick "The Doberman Gang" picks up right where the previous film left off. The five dogs who survived that movie are now on the loose in the wilderness, and three enterprising buddies figure out a way to make the dogs come to them. Naturally, they're not satisfied with helping themselves to the remaining funds from the bank robbery. They get greedy. They then take a substantial amount of their ill-gotten gains and use it to fund a scheme to train the dogs for another robbery - this time, they'll steal a politicans' campaign funds.

This is a pretty winning formula. It being mostly family friendly, it comes complete with an adorable Indian boy, Billy (Claudio Martinez), who keeps coming around because he loves the dogs so much. (Apparently, he doesn't have much to do to occupy himself on his reservation.) This spells trouble for Steve (Charles Robinson, "The Brotherhood of Satan"), Warren (Tim Considine, "Patton"), and Greg (David Moses, "Scared to Death"). Making matters worse is what a disagreeable creep Steve turns out to be, taking advantage of the politicans' secretary (Miss Joan Caulfield, "Dear Ruth") and being abusive towards the well-meaning kid.

Of course, you root for the heist to go smoothly not really because of the men pulling the strings; you're rooting for these incredibly bright, engaging, extremely well-trained canines to pull off the whole thing. They're always fun to watch. The human cast is good (keep an eye out for prominent character actors George "Buck" Flower and Richard Stahl in bits), but the Dobermans ARE the true stars.

Unpleasant at times, but overall a fun, breezy heist flick with a twist, just like the first film.

Followed by "The Amazing Dobermans" (starring Fred Astaire!).

Seven out of 10.
