Old school fun! The K-9 was a great partner!

Although crude at times, we watched this with our older children and laughed the majority of the way through. The movie has a balance of drama, comedy, and romance that keeps you intersted.

3 very funny and exciting films!

classicmoviefan | Rancho Mirage, CA | 06/27/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a fantastic bargain. There is one disc here, but you get all 3 K-9 films. The first 2 films on side one. The 3rd film of the trilogy on side 2. James Belushi is perfectly comfortable in his ad-lib role as the cop with the German Shepheard partner. The timing is right on and the action non-stop. Bravo!"

A Dog lovers must.

"What a great buy!!! All 3 of the K-9 movies for the price of one. The first movie is the best, Jerry Lee really has an attitude in that one, but I loved them all. James Belushi is funny in all of the movies. This set is a must for every dog lover."

Awesome

"After some problems the pack finally arrived to me. It is excellent, new and has three movies, the latest one on the back side of the DVD. I have seen the pack and the quality is very good, looks well, sounds great and all options work. I recommend to buy it."

What do dogs REALLY mean to us?

Shirley Pena | Central California, USA | 01/19/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I've watched this film at LEAST five times, yet one scene in this film NEVER fails to move me:James Belushi's Officer Dooley(carrying his gravely wounded police dog after a near fatal shoot-out)frantically runs into a nearby ER room and-through sheer guts and determination-gets immediate medical care for his dying police dog "Jerry Lee". The task is by no means an easy one, as he meets the nursing staff's firm refusal at every turn, culminating in a confrontation with an exasperated ER doc who assures him:"Don't get so excited, It's just a DOG!" to which Belushi(as Officer Dooley) declares(with STUNNING conviction):""He's NOT just a DOG! He's a COP! And he's not just ANY cop, he's my PARTNER! He's bleeding to death! Either you help him NOW or he's gonna DIE!" After the dazed medical staff wheel off Jerry Lee into surgery, you simply MUST LISTEN to Dooley's truly HEARTRENDING, straight from the gut reverie, spoken to HIMSELF more than his girlfriend Tracy(Mel Harris).

It simply breaks my heart EVERY time I hear it, as it's almost the exact same thing I heard an officer say in an animal ER many years ago! I challenge ANYONE to listen to him and NOT be moved right to the core. I swear that one scene-even if there was nothing else to recommend the film for-makes this film SO compelling to watch. A brilliant, sincere and surprising highmark of the film,I think it's easily James Belushi's finest screen moment.

This film unfortunately gets too many comparisons with "Turner & Hooch"(similar plots and both released the same year). What sets this film APART is that "K-9" asserts-albeit in a lighthearted manner befitting a screwball comedy-what MANY officers over the years have admitted:that your police dog does indeed become MORE than a mere tool to enhance your job performance. He becomes your PARTNER,deserving your utmost respect and support in ALL situations.

"Jerry Lee" is utterly adorable and amazing to watch as Belushi's shaggy canine partner. Watching him in action should silence anyone's argument over whether or not ANIMALS deserve the right to earn Oscar nominations too, tee hee!

Overall, I give it five stars for good, action-packed entertainment AND some meaty food for thought as to what dogs really DO mean to us, in whatever role they play in our lives!

PS Check out a HILARIOUS Ed O'Neill, as wise-cracking Officer Brannigan!"
