Part of

K-9 Collection

K-9 is a 1989 American action-comedy film starring James Belushi and Mel Harris. It was directed by Rod Daniel, written by Steven Siegel and Scott Myers, produced by Lawrence Gordon and Charles Gordon, and released by Universal City Studios. The film has two sequels, K-911 (1999) and K-9: P.I. (2002), both being direct-to-video. K-9 was released exactly three months before Turner & Hooch (with Tom Hanks), which had a similar plot.
