| Turner and Hooch | comment |
A 1989 comedy film directed by Roger Spottiswoode, starring Tom Hanks (and a dog).Scott Turner (Hanks), an obsessively neat police detective, acquires Hooch, a large and slobbery Dogue de Bordeaux, after the murder of the dog's master Amos Reed (John McIntire), a local junk-yard owner who was a friend of Turner's. Turner is bored with little police work in the fictional town of Cypress Beach, California and is set to transfer to a better job in Sacramento, while fellow detective David Sutton (Reginald VelJohnson) is slated to be his replacement.Turner pleads with police chief Howard Hyde (Craig T. Nelson) to let him take on Amos' murder case. Believing that Hooch is the only "witness" he has, Turner brings him home. The energetic dog promptly destroys Turner's house and car and turns his life upside-down. On a positive note, however, Hooch also instigates a romance between Turner and the new town veterinarian Emily Carson (Mare Winningham).In 2020 it was confirmed that a TV series based on the film (with the same name) would be coming to Disney+ by 20th Television. The show stars Josh Peck as Scott Turner Jr., a U.S. marshal; the series acts as a Distant Sequel to the film. The show aired its first episode on July 21, 2021.Came out the same year as K-9, an unrelated film with a similar premise. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| Turner and Hooch / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: Hooch has a patented trick, in which he can hold a grown human in a chokehold with his mouth without biting unless commanded. Turner uses that trick to intimidate a thug connected to Hooch's master's murder. | |

| Turner and Hooch / int_2493b31d | comment |
Fire-Forged Friends: While Turner and Hooch don't exactly have the best relationship at first, the two start to bond when Turner becomes romantically involved with Emily. This makes Hooch's sacrifice to save Turner's life even more heartbreaking for him, and the audience. | |

Trash of the Titans: Even for a dog, Hooch makes a bigger mess of Turner's house than anyone would have thought possible. This may have something to do with the fact that his previous owner also owned a junkyard. | |

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Chief Howard Hyde looks like at first a reasonable and affably officier firmly on Turner's side. Turns out he's actually the true leading figure of the money laundering operation and a corrupt and cold-blooded murderer. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Turner solves the murder and brings down the criminal behind the drug operation and Hyde, but Hooch is shot and killed in the process. However, he did father a litter of puppies before his death... including a son who behaves almost exactly like him. | |

Big "WHAT?!" and Big "SHUT UP!": Turner does both of these tropes when confronting Hooch for barking in the middle of the night. He also shouts the latter trope to a neighbor rudely awakened by Hooch's barking: | |

Bribe Backfire Chief Hyde, revealing himself to be corrupt, attempts to buy Turner's silence by offering him 1% of the drug money. Turner, to gain time, pretends to accept. However Hyde sees through his lies and attempts to shoot him but Hooch, despite being mortally wounded, bites his leg giving Turner the opportunity to kill him. | |
