Chien de flic 3

In this third K-9 adventure, Mike Dooley (James Belushi) and his four-legged partner Jerry Lee are at the end of their career with the police department and beginning a new one as private investigators. There are many humorous moments as our heroes trail some hi-tech thieves. The cop and dog pairing that made the first two films appealing is still fresh and the action keeps the pace up.

Dooley (Jim Belushi) and his canine partner Jerry Lee are back for a third go-round in K9:PI. This time, they are battling thieves over some stolen computer chips in a plot so thin, it makes Belushi look extra fat. Also, Belushi is now retired from the police force and working as a private investigator, hence the title. The excitement and action and comedy of the first movie are long gone, replaced by endless flatulence and poo jokes. K9:PI is passable, but barely. The first half, about the chip robbery and Dooley accidentally getting involved, is more entertaining than the second half, during which Dooley "pimps" Jerry Lee in order to make some money when he finds his pension temporarily frozen. As this subplot drags on and on, the action really dies and barely picks up in time for the end. And I wasn't kidding about Belushi being out of shape in this. He looks terrible.

Having spent many years in the police force, Detective Dooley -James Belushi- , eventually retiring, as he says goodbye , while his colleagues celebrate an unforgettable farewell party for him . However, he was not particularly happy free time that awaits him , that's why he loves his job . On his way home him and his partner Jerry dog discover a robbery in the laboratory for assembling chips . In conflict with the thieves , Jerry will swallow one of the stolen chips .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 , but before he can retire with his pension he must work as a P. I. to find a set of high tech computer chips . Dooley is a quirky policeman who develops lonely his mission , only accompanied by his faithful dog Jerry Lee that 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 while chasing some chips burglars. 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¨ , 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 blends humor , action-packed , pursuits , tongue-in-cheek , it has fun but there are moments that is a little boring but when the dog appears is amusing enough . 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 abductedThe film obtained success at the box office ; however , ten years later , the same starring James Belushi and the dog (or different dog because had deceased) made a 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 trainer in which a stalker, disgruntled crime novelist became obsessed with Dooley's wife after she rejected his book, and he blames Dooley for her death , being starred by Belushi , Christine Tucci , James Handy , Wade Williams, J. J. Johnston. Subsequently had a third part this K-9: P. I. (2002) that was another flop . The yarn was regularly directed by Richard J. Lewis , a notorious director and productor of TV series : Penny Dreadful: City of Angels, Westworld , Battle Creek , Person of Interest , Falcone, CSI, The City , Traders , Power Play , Due South, Super Boy, Little Men , Michael Hayes, Alfred Hitchcock presents , among others . The flick will appeal to action comedy buffs and dog lovers. Rating : Average 4'5/10.

Considering all the great movies that came out in '02, a third K-9 movie was pretty ill-timed. How you gonna compete with Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, & Harry Potter just to name a few? Ok, so there's that.

And then, who made the asinine decision to change Mike's nane to Tom?

Furthermore, at least for those of us who really liked the first two movies, an explanation for his name change, as well as at least a comment about (James Handy) Cap'n Buyers maybe retired or died, or somethin', and a comment about Tucci's Sgt. Wells character - I mean something as simple as these two were missed at the retirement party would be been super-easy while going a long way. An explanation for Dooley's name change if only bc of trying to protect his identity or what-ever was really needed.

If not for these erroneous production decisions I might've given this one a 7, 8, or 9. But to ignore the previous 2 movie histories created question marks & blanks, as well as being kind of an insult to the bit of momentum these movies had going, all ending up in some frustration for the series fans.

Our favorite crime fighting duo is back for a third installment in the series, this time after leaving his retirement party, him and Jerry Lee are walking home when they stumble upon an upscale robbery involving electronic chips, they try to stop the robbery and are foiled somewhat by the crooks, and the FBI,, Jerry Lee has swallowed one of four computer chips,, and the other three don't work without the fourth,, so his ex -boss get's wind of things, and his pension is frozen,, so out of cash he decides to breed Jerry Lee for quick cash,, he then get's a Private Investigator's license to make ends meat,, he takes on a client who is very beautiful and the chase is on.. very funny movie without a lot of dog humor,, as well as the interactions between Jerry Lee and his owner,, not as good as the first two , but definitely worth a watch.
