Title: A âmust love dogsâ Sci-Horror comedy mixing Cujo (1983) and The Fly (1986).
Review: This movie remains very entertaining, and itâs a lot funnier than I remember. Basically this is less R and more hard PG-13 lite horror comedy. But most importantly, I donât think there has ever been another movie like it.Around the same time that John Hammond was splicing frog DNA into the genetic code of dinosaurs in Jurassic Park (1993), so too was Dr. Jarret (Lance Henriksen; The Visitor, Pumpkinhead, Harbinger Down, Hellraiser VIII, Near Dark, Piranha II) blending a cocktail of chameleon, jaguar and anaconda genes into his rottweiler.When an ambitious journalist Lori (Ally Sheedy; Short Circuit) aims to do an exposeâ on test animals by breaking into a scientific research facility, the genetically engineered dog Max wanders into Loriâs care during her escape. Lori quickly learns that Max is a phenomenally well trained and protective animal.Despite being rated R, this sci-horror comes off as a rather light horror movie. Most of Maxâs antics are funny as he terrorizes Loriâs boyfriend, tampers with his carâs brake line, or climbs up a tree and swallows an old ladyâs mean old cat whole like a boa constrictor unhinging its jaw! And while thereâs a good amount of blood, almost no flesh-rending gore occurs on-screen.Probably honoring Cujo (1983), Max picks up a pretty gnarly open wound on his face. And we have some obvious parallels with Dr. Frankenstein and his monsterâMary Shelleyâs Frankenstein (1994) feels like a good match. But even more than the blatant parallels to the family dog-turned-killer Cujo, Max and his relationship with Lori reminds me of a canine version of Seth Brundleâs âBrundle-Flyâ (The Fly). Just like Seth Brundle, Max finds love and understanding before coming apart at the seams and becoming the very monster that his lost love must see dispatched in the end. The acid urine attack on Loriâs boyfriend further strongly parallels events of The Fly (1986).This movie has great pacing, thereâs a lot of fun and excitement, and the ending is cute, too. The ending reminds me of the end of Critters (1986).This is not a great film of any genre⦠but itâs still really entertaining. But most importantly, I donât think there has ever been another movie like it. I guess Iâd call this is a really good nostalgic flick, because it holds up very well. Writer and director John Lafia (Childâs Play 2) did well with this one. Itâs a shame he didnât do more.

Title: In The Right Hands Max Can Save Thousands Of Lives, In The Wrong Hands He Can Be A Deadly Weapon!"
Review: I have seen this so many times I enjoy it every time I watch it. I got this on DVD but I think Shout! Factory should have the Blu-Ray version. Hopefully one day they will. I like many scenes of Max. When Max widen his vision bigger. Max climbs the tree and ate the cat. Excellent scene. Max shakes off the mailman's spray and chasing after him. Max knows that the boyfriend poison the dog food. Max unleashed the chains. Max camouflage the garage and tricked the dog catchers. I would love to have a dog like that. But parently this is just another vicious dog film. Move over Cujo here comes Max. Great performances and roles by Ally Sheedy & Lance Henriksen. Highly recommend.

Title: good puppy puppy
Review: A great movie, mans best friend is about max a genetically modified dog who just wants a little love and a reporter who wants To make a name for herself. While shooting a animal cruelty spot she runs Into max a dog who's the company's biggest experiment , while running from security the reporter takes max thinking she's doing the right thing. Only max needs medicine to keep himself under control and with her he wont be receiving it, at first max is everything a person could ask for smart,loyal and protective. As the movie progresses you see poor max starting to giving in to his killer instinct and goes on a rampage(in my opinion all his "kills"are for good reason).however no matter what ,after all is said and done max is still a loyal dog who loves his rescuer and shows just how much love and forgiveness a dog can truly offer.

Title: Man's Best Friend
Review: I loved this movie. This was a great movie and the dog in this movie was awesome. Even though this dog is not your typical household pet, you find yourself wanting to cheer for this dog from the very beginning. It's a disgrace what Lance Henrikson's character puts the poor dog through. You know what he is doing, after the experimentation, is for the best but you still want to cheer for the dog. The woman that steals the dog from the laboratory is a great match with the dog and they bond very well, maybe to well. The dog becomes jealous and very protective of her and terrible things begin to happen. This movie is full of action and great special effects. This movie is among my favorites and I would recommend it to anyone that likes dog movies. I give it a two thumbs up.

Review: Es ist jetzt kein Hund, der irgendwie Genmanipuliert wurde und durch diesen Eingriff böse wird. Nein.Es ist ein Hund, der mit Hilfe der Genforschung Eigenarten eines Pumas, Tiegers, Bären ect. bekommen hat.Max wurde gezüchtet, um gutes zu tun, Menschenleben zu schützen - und ist für Menschen die nicht mit seinen Eigenschaften umgehen können, gefährlich.Die Tierschützerin nimmt Max mit nach Hause und dieser akzeptiert sie gleich als sein neues Herrchen. Er leckt sie ab und beschützt sie wo er nur kann. Einen Taschenräuber stellt er auch gleich und bringt die Tasche zurück.ABER: Max beschützt sie nicht nur vor auÃenstehenden Gefahren, sondern leider auch vor ihrem eigenen Freund.... hier fangen dann die Probleme an.Max ist auch sehr loyal gegenüber den Menschen und gehorcht auf Befehl. Ein Katzenproblem? Nicht für Max. Um den Menschen einen Gefallen zu machen, beseitigt er diese im Handumdrehen und ist danach erstaunt, dass die Kinder denen er half, davonrennen und ihn alleine lassen.... warum? Er wollte doch nur gutes tun.Der Freund hat seinen Kopf durchgesetzt und Max wird an einen Schrotthändler abgegeben. Doch er versteht es nicht, will wieder zu seinem Frauchen zurück und bellt wie verrückt. .... Als der Schrotthändler Max schlägt wehrt sich dieser und läuft zurück.Daheim angekommen muss er mitansehen, wie sein Frauchen von ihrem Freund einen Welpen geschenkt bekommt und fühlt sich abgeschoben. Da dies der Freund zu verantworten hatte, wird er von Max bestraft.....Das Ende ist dort wo der Film begann.Super Tierdressuren, gerade die Scene mit dem Hackfleischteller ist genial.Eigentlich spielen alle gut.Jedoch ab 18 ist überzogen. ... Mein Gott, da hab ich schon schlimmeres gesehen als einen Hund, der sich wehrt. Es flieÃt auch nicht literweise Blut oder so, einmal sieht man die Bisswunde - in den meisten Fällen aber kaum.Zwischendruch ist der Film lustig- aber auch traurig/beklemmend.Für Super-Tierschützer und Extrem-Hundeliebhaber nicht zu empfehlen, da Max nicht nur gut behandel, sondern auch mit einem SchweiÃgerät verbrannt wird.Super Film, erwartet aber keine Blut-Orgien oder ein Tier, das wie ein Monster aussieht.Kein Blutverschmiertes Hundeailien.Fazit:100% ige Kaufempehlung, alles perfekt.
