Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Man's Best Friend is a 1993 horror film written and directed by John Lafia (Child's Play 2).Television reporter Lori Tanner (Ally Sheedy) has just broken into a research facility and inadvertently lets loose a big, genetically altered dog named Max created by a Mad Scientist, Dr. Jarret (Lance Henriksen). Though docile around Lori, the dog is in danger of going through a psychotic break without the drugs needed to keep him emotionally stable, and exhibits loads of abilities that make him a more efficient killer. This is very bad news for the denizens of Lori's neighborhood. | |

Good Is Dumb: Maybe it wasn't a good idea to let loose the potentially dangerous lab animal. | |

Black Comedy Rape: Max courting and eventually cornering the Collie owned by Lori's neighbor is played out this way, complete with silly music. | |

Improbable Infant Survival | |
| Man's Best Friend / int_550754dc | comment |
Improbable Infant Survival: Played straight. At first, Max is quite docile and friendly with Lori's young neighbor, Rudy, and allows Rudy and his friend Chet to take him for a walk. Even after he's gone berserk, rather than seriously injuring or killing Rudy, Max only tosses him aside when Rudy tries hitting him with a baseball bat. Earlier still, Max also goes after the paperboy who hit him with a paper, but does no more than toss him off his bike, ruin one of the bike's tires, and scare the crap out of him. | |

Sequel Hook: Max impregnated his collie neighbor before getting blown into the next world and she has a litter of puppies, one of whom looks an awful lot like Max. | |

| Man's Best Friend / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: There are plenty of moments where the movie can't decide if it's a horror movie or a Beethoven-style comedy. | |

Soundtrack Dissonance | |
| Man's Best Friend / int_abad35b4 | comment |
Soundtrack Dissonance: In line with the Mood Whiplash example, occasionally lighthearted comedy music plays during scenes it shouldn't be playing during (like when Max makes evil eyes at Lori's boyfriend, or the police discover the mailman's corpse). | |

| Man's Best Friend / int_fd4f8299 | comment |
Well-Intentioned Extremist: While Dr. Jarret's experiments are questionable, he only created the ultimate Angry Guard Dog because his wife and child were killed and kept him under control with special drugs... which were cut as the Designated Heroine took Max from the lab, turning him into a killer machine. | |
