Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })K-9 is a 1989 thriller-comedy film starring James Belushi and Mel Harris, and directed by Rod Daniel.San Diego Police Detective Michael Dooley (Belushi) has a problem: He's been tagged for execution by a major international drug dealer named Lyman (Kevin Tighe). In order to help him put Lyman away for good and thereby save his bacon, Dooley's friend Sergeant Brannigan of the K-9 unit (Ed O'Neill) gives him a drug-sniffing police dog named Jerry Lee (played by a real-life police dog named Koton), with whose aid Dooley attempts to put Lyman in prison for good. Now Dooley has another problem: Jerry Lee is a Deadpan Snarker with a mind of his own.K-9 received mixed reviews and was followed by two direct-to-video sequels, K-911 and K-9: P.I.Not to be confused with the occasional robotic companion of Doctor Who, nor with said tin dog's eponymous spinoff series.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })

The Cameo: The bystanders at the SWAT standoff heckling and insulting the cops were played by the real SDPD K-9 officers who advised the production.

Actor Allusion: When Kevin Tighe's Big Bad is holding a female character at gunpoint. He has a line that goes "After I shoot her I'm going to call Rampart and ask to start a IV of Ringers". Obvious Emergency! reference.

Cowboy Cop: Dooley doesn't like to play by rules. Roughen up suspects? Yep. Hijack the police car after being arrested? Typical for him.

Damsel in Distress: The only role for Tracey in the movie, it seems, is to be kidnapped.

Groin Attack: Threatened. Tough guys tend to get real chatty when they have their junk in a police dog's jaws.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })

Faking the Dead

comment
Faking the Dead: Dooley thinks that Jerry Lee died in surgery, and makes a heartfelt apology for having been such a Jerkass. Jerry Lee lifts his head each time Dooley turns his back, then plays dead when he turns around. It's heartwarming until the doctor walks in and tells Dooley that the dog is alive and awake. He turns around and mutters, "You asshole!"
