Turner & Hooch

ActionComedyThrillerCrimeFamily

Directed by Roger Spottiswoode

Detective Scott Turner has three days left in the local police department before he moves to a bigger city to get some 'real' cases—not just misdemeanors. When Amos Reed is murdered, Scott sets himself on the case, but the closest thing to a witness to the murder is Reed's dog, Hooch, which Scott has to take care of—to avoid Hooch being 'put to sleep'.

    Top Dog (1995) is Chuck Norris’s attempt at a police dog buddy film.. Top Dog (1995) is Chuck Norris’s attempt at a police dog buddy film. This concept was nothing new. In fact, in 1989, there were two hugely popular films based on the same idea: K-9 starring Jim Belushi, and Turner & Hooch starring Tom Hanks. I’ve seen all of them, and by far the best is Turner & Hooch because Tom Hanks really sells his performance. The worst? Top Dog. What should have set Top Dog apart from the others was…

    Sometimes you sit down to watch Turner & Hooch. Not because it’s a middling film about a cop & a canine, of which there were many in the 80s, but because a fit Hanks spends an inordinate amount of time in nothing but a pair of black briefs.

    Turner & Hooch/K-9 style movie but instead of a cop getting partnered with a dog, it's a cop getting partnered with another cop who spent $20,000 on a realistic dog suit who never breaks character but still solves crimes.

    It depends on the kind of movie you're making. I will forever maintain that an action-comedy like TURNER & HOOCH left money on the table by killing Hooch. Meanwhile, the post-apocalyptic I AM LEGEND is the kind of movie where the dog has to die to deepen the protagonist's isolation.

    Maybe not all the time now. Tom Hanks made a bit of a deal about how they killed the dog in Turner & Hooch and loudly declared on many talk shows “Do not kill the dog!” because it affected the movie popularity. I think producers listened, to some extent. So it doesn’t ALWAYS happen.

    It does seem familiar but probably more a film where the character has a dog than a dog film like Turner & Hooch or K9 which is making it more difficult to remember or find online. Hoping you find out soon. Please update if someone discovers the answer.
