The Karate Dog [2005]

[Cross-posted on the Bad Movie Night Facebook page.]

I mean, the title says it all, doesn't it? I don't even think I really need to write a review for this one. You can just let your imagination bring you to the world of "Karate Dog" and it will probably be better than actually watching the film.

Basically, Pat Morita has a talking dog he taught martial arts too, Morita gets killed by assassins, the dog is taken in by an idiot detective, the mystery of why Morita was killed is uncovered and has to do with a dog racing business run by Morita's former student Jon Voight, who uses an inability to remember his lines as some kind of vocal affect. Chevy Chase does the voice of the dog, and he wants you to know he's just here for a paycheck. There's a lot of really bad CGI of the dog fighting or even just standing on his hind legs (I guess the film didn't know that some dogs can be taught to do that). I think this movie was written in 20 minutes. The only really funny part was when they did a "Mission Impossible" parody that involved the dog putting an ID into a machine and a human hand covered in a fur sleeve emerged from the bottom of the screen.

That's it. Skip this one.
