The extravagant cop Michael Dooley needs some help to fight a drug dealer who has tried to kill him. A "friend" gives him a drug-sniffing dog named Jerry Lee. With his help, Dooley sets out to put his enemy behind bars, but Jerry Lee has a personality of his own and works only when he wants to. On the other hand, the dog is quite good at destroying Dooley's car, house, sex-life, etc.Written by

Contrary to the claim made by Jim Belushi's character that his car is a classic 1965 Mustang, the only '65 mustang in the movie is the one at the end when they are driving to Vegas. Any others used in the movie are '66 models. See more »
Goofs
The handheld video game that Dooley is playing throughout the film is the Nintendo Game & Watch game "Manhole". The sounds that the game makes, such as the "laughing" noise, do not exist in the game. Also, the "game over" music that plays is taken from the Game & Watch version of Super Mario Bros. Additionally, the way he describes the game to Jerry Lee, by saying that he's shooting at people, and loses when he misses is incorrect, since the object of the game is simply to move a platform around the game screen to stop people falling down open manholes.

The UK theatrical version was cut by 21 secs to secure a "12" rating and removed descriptions of a "Colombian Necktie". The 15 rated video version was uncut and the 12 rated DVD is also intact. See more »
This is NOT the best cop/dog movie, but it IS superior to the Chuck Norris/pooch flick. Personally, I found Turner and Hooch to be superior to this work, but it is still enjoyable, and comes in second to my favorite.
HOwever, this is witty, and funny enough to be endearing, without resorting to Jim Belushi's usual tactics, although he does employ the beginning of those posturing and chest-beating tactics here. But they are not so dominant that the movie suffers. In fact, they play well in this situation, though it IS sad to watch a grown man who is romantically jealous of a dog.
This fails any Oscar possibilities, but I do not honestly believe that would surprise those involved with this work. The bottom line: This is a fun movie. It fails to warm the heart as well as Turner and Hooch, but does not make you feel sorry for the dog like some other movies have, along this venue. It is entertaining and fun, and rates a 6.6/10 from...
