I only hope that someday they made another continuation of the great adventures of James Belushi and his wonderful partner, Jerry Lee. Great
family entertainment.

I love shephards. these two work great together and act like they have lived together their entire lives.

I loved this movie. Not often do sequels do justice but K-9 - P.I. does. Jerry Lee and Belushi are great. Jerry Lee has really become the co-star of this series of movies. He isn't just a dog, but Belushi's co-star. Belushi is trying to retire but Jerry Lee discovers a crime in the making and Belushi just can't resist. He gets involved when he shouldn't have and now they are holding his pension checks until this case is solved because Belushi has become a suspect in the case. Never fear, Jerry Lee is here and will help Belushi get his retirement checks going. Jerry Lee gets together with another pretty white poodle and he is still feeling good even after swallowing the evidence that will solve this crime.

This movie is really good, although it's not as good as the first one. Lots of action and plenty of comedy. The connection between Dooley and Jerry Lee is wonderful. It's worth watching just to see the two of them interact.

You'll notice on the DVD jacket that there is only one name - James Belushi. That's because he is the only person in the movie that is actually worth watching.

Summary:
Detective Thomas Dooley (James Belushi) has just retired, but on the way home from his retirement party he and his police dog, Jerry Lee, come across a robbery. As they try to stop it they are eventually prevented from catching the thieves by the FBI who draw their guns on him (for some strange reason even though he's a cop and a bunch of his colleagues show up as well - we never know why the FBI comes). Anyway, in chasing the thieves, Jerry Lee happens to swallow a computer chip that was essential to the criminal's plans.

Dooley, as a result of his involvement in the theft, has his pension suspended until the case is solved, forcing him to get back involved. But, before he can get back involved he studs out Jerry Lee and that leads him to a woman that he eventually kind of hooks up with, but that is how the movie ends.

The rest of the story is kind of lame. Dooley has a Private Investigator's license (thus the P.I. in the title) and thus advertises his services in the paper. The first person to call him just happens to be the lover of the thief that got away, but we don't find that out until nearly the end of the movie, unless you are thinking while you're watching it, then it becomes apparent when she first knocks on his door.

Dooley has to deal with the FBI who are tailing him to see how he was involved with the theft in the first place - results in funny interactions, but otherwise deadens the story. He also has to deal with his ex-captain and his former colleagues who all seem to think he's a dink or something. All we got is a stereotypical captain's role where the captain is always mad. I'd like to see a happy captain some time.

Eventually the thief/lover of the woman that hires Dooley is killed by the woman and Dooley catches the woman that hired him as the real culprit behind the theft.

My Comments:
A sequel that never should have been made. There are innumerable forced scenes. A lot of the scenes are trying to get us to sympathize with a dog that doesn't want to have sex; please! If it wasn't for James Belushi being somewhat funny and bumbling, this movie would be absolute trash. As it is, Belushi strains his hardest to carry a lackluster cast of pathetic actors and a terrible story line. The result, a very mediocre movie that really isn't worth most people's time.
