Plot: In this action comedy, renegade cop Jake Wilder investigates the death of his old friend, Lou Swanson, another cop, who was killed while investigating the bombing of a San Diego housing project. To solve the murder and stop the bomber, Wilder teams up with Swanson's partner, a German Shepherd named Reno. At first the new partners do not get along, but eventually they begin working as a team and discover that the culprit was a white-supremacist group. This film stirred up a lot of controversy when it first came out as the distributors exhibited remarkably bad judgment by releasing it two weeks after the Oklahoma City bombing of a Federal building that resulted in the death of close to two hundred innocent people, some of them small children. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Norris teams up with Air Bud's cousin in the weakest chuck flick ever
Added 11/21/2009

During the 90's the creators of the action genre sat in a boardroom and kicked some ideas around on how to spice up the film industry. With films the Death Ring dominating the market something new had to be done. Through months of deliberation they finally agreed upon the ultimate concept of joining man and beast together to take on a deadly crime syndicate. The first shot was Turner in Hooch with Tom Hanks followed by a slightly more entertaining James Belushi attempt called K-9. At this time Chuck Norris was at home trimming him mustache with a pair of hedge clippers when he thought "I could beat the tar out of Hanks and Belushi with both hands tied behind my mullet," so where's my cop-dog movies? He then roundhouse kicked his way into a star role in Top Dog, which he'd so sorely regret about a week into shooting.

Top Dog starts off with some hilariously bad acted white white supremacist as they plan to blow up San Diego. Why are they doing this? We haven't the slightest idea. Maybe it's because they didn't legalize the good stuff in that region yet and the Nazi's couldn't take it anymore. Whatever the case may be, super rouge cop Jake Wilder get's called upon for the case and is teamed up with a dog (who may have been responsible for writing the script as far as we're concerned). The dialogue and one liner dog jokes are something we'd hope to never experience again and thank the movie world for not producing a sequel. It's just awful, and this is coming from a couple of the biggest Chuck enthusiasts out there. The only thing that would have saved the movie is if Norris and the dog had an action packed battle to the death similar to the end brawl in Missing in Action II. Obviously we did not get this one and in no way can recommend it to even the b lovers out there.

Worth it just for the last scene
Added 10/12/2009

I bought this movie because it is BAD, not because it is good, and I'm pretty sure that you're buying it ironically as well. The cover implies "bad 90s comedy," but its PG-13 rating takes itself WAAAAAY too seriously as Chuck Norris and his dog partner Reno have to stop a white supremecist plot. It's like a longer, less awesome, and frankly, less funny version of any given episode of Walker: Texas Ranger.

HOWEVER, the final scene, which involves Reno the dog and an English speaking Pope...well, let's just say it's one of the greatest cinematic achievements of all time. Your brain will explore from laughter and confusion.

If you want a bad movie with consistent unintentional comedy throughout, get "Mac and Me." If you want to torture yourself for an hour and a half just to watch a dog and the Pope interact, get "Top Dog" today!

The quickest way to a man's heart is with Chuck Norris' fist
Added 8/8/2006

I would say this is the greatest Chuck Norris movie, no wait, the greatest movie of all-time except for one thing. And that is that all Chuck Norris movies are created equal and better then movies like the Godfather, Schlinder's List, Back Door Sluts 9, and Braveheart combined. Chuck Norris is a much better actor then Tom Hanks and Marlon Brando because he knows karate. Hell Chuck Norris invented Karate as well as Judo, Kung Fu, and Hamster style Jap Slapping. Do yourself a favor and buy this movie so you can call yourself a man. And if your a woman buy this movie and pray Chuck Norris comes to your house and gets you pregnant.
