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

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
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.

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.
