This kid friendly dog film is over 30 years old and apparently hated by a lot of audiences. Does Nostalgia Critic agree with their anger? Let's take a look at 1992's Beethoven.

Can you please review The Crow, Crow City of Angles (that poor movie suffered the same fate as Cool World) , Power Rangers 2017, and Mortal Kombat 2021?
I gave it a 7, kinda forgot about it.
I absolutely adore this movie!
Awesome! Can you review Beethoven 2nd, Escape from Tomorrow, Escape from Cluster Prime, Spongebob movies, iParty with Victorious, iGo to Japan, and Meet the Robinsons?
I like it
Funny how angry George frequently gets over Beethoven messing up the house, yet he's surprisingly calm when hearing his youngest child nearly drowned in a pool due to a neglectful babysitter.
"it's just my child not as important as my posessions"
I dunno, my husband is loud when he's annoyed but gets absolutely quiet when he's REALLY mad.
I always got the impression that when he was irritated, it came across as angry; when he was angry, it was a sort of quiet rage.
George: "Honey it was an accident."
his Wife: "Honey she could've DIED!"
Didn’t want to cause a disturbance yk
The only dog movie that doesn't make me cry. What a family classic!
Ditto, dog
Secret Life of Pets?
Scooby doo?
Whoever the acting coach was for that dog deserves a pay raise
fact.
Nah, he deserves a promotion.
Karl Lewis Miller
Hell Yeah! I'm surprised that person didn't get more work..
Apparently there were several dogs and one scene Beethoven was played by a human in a dog suit.
The father's character arc is everything in this movie but I also love how smart Beethoven is. Understanding shady bussiness dealings and how dangerous it is for small hilren to be near pools his character is pretty much an angel.
The reason this movie left an impact is because as a kid, the Dad's character arc hit me HARD!
In kids movies, there were either good parents, or bad parents. Having this depth actually shocked me into looking at how stories were put together!
The dad in this movie was great.
The scene with just him and Beethoven in the car went over my head as a 9 year old. Now as an adult, it makes sense. I always gets the feeling that after his family dog was taken to the vet to be euthanized, he couldn't bring himself to show affection for another dog. That's why he suggested that they are fish or ant people. In his mind, you don't get emotionally attached to those types of pets but you do with such as a dog or cat.
Good parents, bad parents, or dead parents
Whoa. Just as Doug was mentioning May being CF Awareness Month I was just getting ready to comment that I spent a lot of time in the hospital as a kid in the 90s, due to having Cystic Fibrosis myself. And that Beethoven was one of the movies you could request from a list of movies to be played on the two movie channels my peds hospital, St. Christophers in Philly, had for patients. This movie, its sequel and a whole bunch of other classics from the 90s got my family and I through a lot of rough patches. Some really good memories here. Thanks for what you do in general, I actually found Doug/Channel Awesome when my wife, who also has CF, was in the hospital for a few months back in the Fall and your videos really helped give me an escape while dealing with that. And thank you also for donating to the CF Foundation. They really do so much great work in so many areas and have helped make so many CF patients lives better
This movie is the ultimate proof that critics can be very wrong. Except Doug, he was so right about how hilarious this is.
This movie is a classic
Also the recent Super Mario Bros Movie. Rotten Tomatoes can especially be very wrong.
I mean... the audience is jsut as wrong here so
@@Cashman9111 Audiences and critics are no different, honestly
@@Cashman9111 yeah i don't get either
I remember meeting one of the Beethoven dog actors at Universal Studios and I have a picture with him. I was 7. So I have a super soft spot in my heart for the Beethoven movies.
Nice! I wish I could see that picture! EEP! :)
Lucky!
A Cool Fact: In addition to the trained dogs who worked in the film, a full mechanical dog was also used, plus a mechanical dog's head which was used to achieve certain facial expressions and reactions. American Humane was on the set throughout filming. Prior to filming, AHA monitored training and preparation of the dogs for certain tricks that they had to master.
Also fun Fact: This Film had a Ghost Director: Harold Ramis. Brian Levant was fired by Universal during Pre Production(Spring 1990) due to multiple complaints from both Animal Trainers and Kris' owner(Karl Lewis Miller) that Levant was making Kris work under too many stunts and over exposure to Humid Southern California weather, he also didn't get along well with the other Dogs, so Universal fired him and allowed Producer Ivan Reitman to secretly bring in Egon himself Harold Ramis to secretly finish production (Summer-Mid Autumn 1990).
Sarah Rose Karr was 5 years old during filming and didn't get brought to the set until about 6 weeks after she finished Kindergarten Cop.
Nicole Tom's brother David(Darryl Knable from Stay Tuned) originally auditioned for the part of Ted Newton, but Levant didn't want nepotism, so he gave the part to younger, 10 year old Christopher "Eugene from Hey Arnold" Castile instead. Kathleen Turner originally planned on being Alice Newton, but she was deemed too cold in her method role, so she was replaced by little known, MUCH Youthful Groundlings member and Chicago Native Bonnie Hunt. Hunt credits Beethoven as having jump started her successful character acting Career, remember, Hunt went on to star in Jumanji opposite Robin Williams, The Green Mile opposite Tom Hanks and most recently Judy Hopps' Mother Bonnie Hopps on Zootopia.
Beethoven was filmed in Pre Production(April-May 1990) in Pasadena,CA and Kris' hometown of El Segundo. Again, Karr was brought on to the set in May about 6 weeks after finishing Kindergarten Cop.
Actual Production and Filming of Beethoven begin Late September 1990 to Mid January 1991 in Valle Vista and South Pasadena. By that time, Levant had been Fired and Universal was still able to credit him anyway using again, a Ghost Director.
The film got a limited Theatrical Release on November 22,1991 and a Wide Release on February 5,1992. IT was NOT a Box Office success, rather its run was very brief and only profitable. Beethoven's success came from its Home Video Release in April 1992, it was not only the top Rented tape of '92, it was the #2 Highest selling Home Video release of 1992(2nd to Silence of the Lambs.)
The Sequel didn't come together until Early 1993 and was filmed that Spring.
The St Bernard, Kris, lived until February 2007, and died at the Toto and Silver Animal Retirement home in Brentwood,CA at the ripe Dog age of 17 years and 4 months.
@@Tornado1994 odd how you picked hey aronold for Christopher castile instead of step by step which he was more known for
@@Tornado1994 One correction: Southern California has dry heat in the summer.
@@doctorfeinstone6524 Step by Step didn't start production of its first season until Early 1991(Early February 1991), after Beethoven wrapped production.
@@lainiwakura1776 True. True. But Levant only handled Pre Production. All the Scenes with Kris as a Puppy were all shot by Levant, and that was during the Mid Spring of '90. He ultimately got fired before they could shoot the scenes where Kris was reaching Maturity because each scene with him especially the Emily Pool scene had Levant overworking him in Dry So Cal Heat. He again got fired by Universal because of that scene and Reitman replaced him with Harold Ramis as a Ghost Director.
Another Fact: The Rendition of Rollover Beethoven used as the movie's theme was performed by Paul Schaffer(Heh!Heh!Heh!)of David Letterman fame.
The near drowning scene scared the shit out of me as a kid. Even more than the bad guy getting stabbed with syringes.
Yeah the latter was pretty jarring, even though he didn’t die
The reason why I bought and love the complete collection of Beethoven is cause I’m a big Saint Bernard lover. Please don’t judge me.
Have you seen cujo?
Fair enough
I won't judge you Saint Bernards are famous gentle giants you shouldn't be ashamed of liking a certain breed 😊😊😊😊😊😊.
oh Ișm judging you, but positively
I'm a big fan of St Bernard's because of these movies XD
19:38 A Kid's film that's over 30 years old? I thought you said it was from 1992, the year I was born.
...Oh...oh no...
0:53
You forgot the biggest part of this dog's legacy; inspiring a classical artist to take his name.
That composer owes that dog royalties.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 okay, the both of you got me laughing 😅😅
There’s a Gilmore Girls episode where Lane is trying to find a common interest with a guy, she brings up music and Beethoven (she’s big into music and becomes part of a band) and the guy thinks she’s she’s talking about the movie with the dog as she internally wonders why she was ever into him.
See, I think the name & the cover were part of why I never watched these. It never clicked that the movie was about the dog & once it did, a name like Beethoven didn't make it seem like it would even be funny.
Oddly enough, My family and I got two puppies from the shelter last year. One of them was named "Hank" after country singer Hank Williams Sr.!
Nice to see critic doing more 90s movies again.
Yeah, it's almost like the "Nostalgia" in his name meant something once.
@@superstarultra28To be fair, everything can become nostalgic if given enough time.
im surprised to know that both beethoven and air bud got so many movies, even without the original cast
Ya I think both films came about during that weird era where dog movies were becoming a popular trend so it only made sense to capitalize on it
Inside Job has a scene poking fun at the number of Air Bud movies.
The 90s were a simple time. You could easily go to the cinema once a month or more because there was always a film featuring a kid and an animal (or even just animals) that was being shown. Homeward Bound 1 and 2, Babe 1 and 2, Air Bud, Beethoven (and their respective sequels), Lassie, Andre, Free Willy, Flipper, Fly Away Home, the Horse Whisperer, Stuart Little, Dr Dolittle, Joey, Napoleon, Paws (those last few were Australian, might not have transferred over), Paulie, Shiloh... Basically, if there was an animal in it, it put butts on seats in the cinema and/or would do really well at the video rental stores and/or free-to-air television screenings.
Remember, we didn't have internet back in the 90s! We spent our weekends watching animal adventure movies! I grew up very suspicious of any kids film that DIDN'T have an animal as a major character.
@@DarkKnightofAnime the weird thing is the first air Bud movie came out 5 years after the 1st Beethoven movie
But they all still had the exact same dogs who are definitely still alive!
I cried so much as a kid when the dad takes Beethoven to the 'vet' at the end
Yeah that was an intense scene, especially from the late Charles Grodin
Man Stanley Tucci has the weirdest filmography of all time
Merlin in Transformers The Last Knight 😂
@@claymathewselevator8121 and he was a different character in Transformers Age of Extinction.
He was also in robots and the remake to disney's beauty and the beast
And The Devil Wears Prada
And Herb Kazzazz from Bojack Horseman!
I still remember watching this again on New Years day 2011, my dog managed to get out of my gate as he got scared due to people firing off fireworks, it came on TV it was a dark stormy day as well. Luckily one of our neighbours came to our gate and said she spotted our Whisky running by the storm water drain. We got him back so it turned out to be a happy memory.
This movie (and its sequel) are very special to me. Back when I was a kid, we watched them as a family, and laughed at how much my father was like the dad here, hating pets and constantly suffering because of them. Nostalgia is strong with this one.
Levant was fired before filming and Production even started and was replaced secretly by Harold Ramis.
@@Tornado1994 ok?
@@doctorfeinstone6524 He handled preproduction only. Only the scenes with Kris as a Puppy. He got fired while working with Animal Trainers and Karl Lewis Miller during the Summer of '90. Ramis was brought in by Reitman with permission by Universal to actually direct the main film. This was during the Middle of 1990.
I always watched both on VHS as well, mainly from my friend who owned them
Still love both of them, especially the 2nd one which I kind of liked better
I hoped you laughed throughout each successive sequel as well.
I've always loved "Beethoven" because of the cast being perfect. The dad is so miserable throughout the movie, and yet you can't help but like him because of how much crap he's willing to take to make his family happy, and he really does love Beethoven, when it comes down to it. ❤ It's just trying to be a wholesome family film and that's exactly what you get.
Fun fact: the co-writer of this movie work on one fox show is was called the resident
I hope you do the sequel next. It's so campy there is so much material for you to work off of. Like the part when the older sister goes to a party to meet up with her boyfriend and he looks her in a room with her cause she won't put out and indicates he was about to assault her if her dog didn't intervene. This is a movie for children.
That's the only part I remember and it scarred me o_o'
Yesss I would love if he did a review for the second one
The sequel has really entertaining bad guys, I still remember that crazy woman and her idiot boyfriend.
There's apparently enough of them for him to do two whole Beethoven months.
Yeah looking back, the 2nd one had some pretty dark (arguably darker stuff) to a degree.
For the scene you stated, and also the villains wanting to drown the puppies like Cruella De Vil.
I still remember watching the 2nd one more though
I rewatched it for the first time in 22 years during the pandemic and it wasn’t bad. It was enjoyable and unlocked some fun memories from childhood
My childhood movie!!! I never clicked faster on a video! 😁
Same here!!! ❤ And Im so glad Doug likes it!
@@kordo.93 I will forever be one of those people who sees Charles Grodin and think "he's the guy from 'Beethoven'". 🤣
@@DonaldAMiscthis fact might blow your mind...Charles Grodin RIP wasn't even the first choice to play the father. Steve Martin,Robin Williams,Jeff Goldblum,and I think Michael Keaton were all considered for the role. Steve Martin eventually worked with Bonnie Hunt years later in Cheaper by the dozen playing a father. Steve Martin has played a father in nearly every movie he's ever done in his career and he would've nailed it as George Newton.
I appreciate NC covering a notable 90's kid movie. It feels like it's been a while! When I think of NC, I generally think of him covering late 80's/early 90's movies and Steven King movies. I'm actually surprised NC had never covered this before! I haven't seen Beethoven in forever! I remember watching Beethoven's 2nd more so, but that was so long ago... and maybe that shows how memorable it was cause I can't remember a thing about either movies. I mostly remember the actors faces. It was great to see them again. Oh, and that little bit at the end with NC going to answer the door after the music cue got me. I laughed heartily at that.
I used to watch Beethoven on the Disney channel a lot, it was the movie that started the dog movie trend with Air Bud and Homeward Bound. I find the movie fun, especially the slapstick!
God, the evil doctor getting what he deserved at the end was so satisfying.
Loved the late Dean Jones in this
@@RYMAN1321 The fact he was in a lot of Disney films of the 60s and 70s makes that even funnier
I had completely forgotten about this movie even though I watched this one and the sequel so many times, thanks for bringing back some memories
2:30 HOW IS THAT NOT A MEME YET???
I actually remember watching and loving the sequel way more as a kid. But I mean that didn't have just one St. Bernard pup--it had a _litter_ of St. Bernard puppies. Too cute lol.
Same here
While I used to watch both on VHS a lot (I didn’t discover them until I was around 10-11 since I was born after they both came out) I do remember liking and watching the 2nd one more too.
Likely because of how it expanded upon things and introduced new characters which is one of my favorite things about good sequels
Definitely liked the 2nd movie more
Fun fact: Dean Jones and Nicholle Tom were the only actors from the movie to appear in the animated series. While the latter was able to reprise her role as Ryce, the former was recasted as George.
Dean Jones was both the workaholic father/husband and the bad guy.
I remember watching this movie a lot way back in my childhood :)
Never been so happy for a film to get it's justice it deserves than this one does
This is what you really said:
"Never been so happy for a film to get it is justice it deserves than this one does."
Does that make any grammatical sense to you?
@@DavidRay39 What if you're talking to a disabled person?
My sisters and I were obsessed with this movie and the first sequel!
same except my brother.
I remember growing up hating the vet but not knowing till many years later that was Dean Jones playing the vet. I grew up loving Herbie the love bug and it was my fav film, but never put two and two together they were the same actor. I’m really impressed by Dean’s range and why he’s one of my favorite actors.
I love this movie so much. I know it’s not a masterpiece but it’s a clever kids movie that tried a lot harder than it needed to. All the actors in here gave it their all.
I loved this movie as a kid! Thanks for the nostalgia, Critic!
learning Grodin was 56 when this made literally made my mouth drop, i can't believe how young he looked at the time
I'm 34 and I look older than him lol
Set an a local 56 he looks 36
He was 54-55 when it was filmed.
@@Tornado1994 but still very impressive that he doesn’t look that old for 55
For a while I thought his birth year was an error on IMDB because I refused to believe he was in his 50s at the time of the film.
19:02 - I do think it is. You might've seen several Doberman puppies in the store back in the opening scene.
I don't know why but ever since i was a little kid i have been so fascinated about this film
Okay, the nostalgia hit hard for me on this one. I loved this movie as a kid, but this and Homeward Bound will always have a special place in my heart because they remind me of spending time with my great-grandmother.
I used to foster Saints for a breed rescue. After this movie came out, kids would always run up wanting to hug "Beethoven"! Luckily they were all really sweet, lovable dogs.
Adults would hang back a little - kids saw Beethoven, grown-ups saw Cujo!
I'm just glad this film gave so many people some really good memories from Childhood cause i think that's what this was trying to go for a film that captures your nostalgic fondness
The doctor scarred me for life....the fake bite..😨
The night scenes when they get Beethoven back...
This movie is such a childhood classic. Loved when I first watched it with my family and we we enjoyed it
I saw this movie and its 1st sequel as a kid and when I rewatched it as an adult I still thought it was really good.
It might not be complicated but everyone plays their parts so well and as an adult I legit hot into the couple's/ dad's struggle where as a kid I was mostly into the dog and kids' storyline. It boggles the mind that it has such low reviews with a really good script, fun effects, great actors, and believable story dynamic.
Its like, mastering the basics.
I always loved the original two movies, i still have their VHS tapes
13:29 Dogs actually HAVE in fact sensed when humans are in trouble even if there's no rational reason for it. A collie once sensed that a baby was suffocating in her crib and warned the mother, so don't question the power of a dog's intuition. St. Bernards were bred to be rescue dogs for this reason.
I still have to say this probably one of the best dog who is the main character movie
15:59 That really felt like the past Nostalgia Critic, such a brilliant joke!!! Reminded me of the Skeletor dramatic head turn music cue gag.
That old movie? God I haven’t seen that in like decades
As a kid, I loved this movie and Beethoven's 2nd (omg the puppies 💞)
I friggin loved this movie as a kid. Thanks for reviewing this, Critic!
Same here. This movie is a childhood classic
Gosh, I remember watching this so much on Disney Channel growing up. Childhood right here!
Also, around the same time I first saw this I re-discovered “The Nanny” and it didn’t take me long to realize the actress who played the older daughter in this was also the older daughter in “The Nanny”.
People hated this one? What could make them hate a family film about a doggo?
Many people prefer cats over dogs.
@@alexmapp5444 I prefer cats but I still love dogs so I love this movie!
@@LV426Resident I prefer dogs, but I have an aunt (my mom's sister) who prefers cats.
It's so weird to me when people act like you can only like dogs or cats. What's wrong with liking both? I sure do.
@@MegaRambit I consider myself a dog person, although I do like cats; I just won't keep a cat because I don't want to clean its box. I also like birds.
Oh God I feel old I was 7 years old when this movie came out it's still one of my favorite movies of all time
1991.
I've been waiting for you to do this review ever since you teased us with it at the end of last week's review so thanks for making my Wednesday feel a whole lot better as I had a pretty crappy morning as one of my cash busted out of the house and this also makes me wish that I still had at dogs in my life as the last one that I had passed away October 2019
18:35, YYEEEEEOOOOOOOOWWW!!
Right in the Scooby-Snacks!
15:12 Bonnie is the bomb. She has many funny subtleties in this film.
Honestly this is one of my cult classics i love this franchise with how over the top and witty it can be and the saint Bernard was always so loveable i just wanted to pet him
No frills, no fuss, no side plots with weird props and overacting... just a guy and his camera. This was incredibly old school NG, and damn you did it well.
I remember liking this movie as a kid. I’d watch it with my niblings .
I do remember how scary that near drowning scene was though.
Doug, thank you so much to bring us back to the early 90's. Feel so good!!!
7:00 Thank you, Doug. That scene drove me nuts whenever I watched it over and over again.
A movie where Charles Grodin is the "good guy" and Dean Jones is the evil villain. What a twist!
All kidding aside, Grodin talking to Beethoven on the way to be put down about how much he hated his father for doing the same thing years earlier...oof, that hits hard.
Grodin had the time of his life filming both Beethovens. In fact, he filmed "Heart and Souls" Before he filmed Beethovens 2nd.
15:43 I give them credit for actually keeping REAL NES boxes!
I still remember last year there was a point in time where i couldn't get this film out of my head i just kept thinking about this film
As I was born right before this movie was released, it basically was my childhood. It’ll always have a small space in my heart.
I was born after (1995) but yeah both it and the 2nd one I used to watch on VHS a lot as a kid I borrowed from my friend
09:30 you do realize this is going to be the new meme right XD😆
One of my favorite childhood movies. Always going to see it in rose tinted glasses
I remember this movie
It's been years and I actually still enjoy it looking back
This was actually my first film that I had seen Dean Jones in, but I wasn't associating actor's names with faces yet. Years later, when I saw The Love Bug, I was not even aware it was the same actor.
My daughter wanted to see this film, and fortunately, Jones' performance did not bother her at all (we showed her That Darn Cat and The Love Bug years ago).
I have my VHS copy in my hand right now! I love this movie.
13:30 dogs can sense earthquakes and strokes... Why not such dangers?
Speaking of dog movies, I wonder why Nostalgia Critic has never mentioned Shaggy Dog; not even in Disneycember. Seems like it would be perfect episode for NC to review and riff on
My god... I watched this movie on VHS so many times as a kid and NEVER noticed that the brother was using a power glove...
This video just makes me so want to hear what Doug's thoughts on Air Bud the film series
I lived in Korea for 7 years as an English teacher. My students always pronounced Beethoven as "Bat-o-man." I always would giggle thinking of Bruce Wayne jamming on the piano like in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.
Classic kids movie! I loved this one growing up :)
I remember when I was a kid, I was bored for the first 2 thirds of this movie, but really interested when they all try to save Beethoven. I wasn't expecting a kids movie to go in that direction.
Speaking of "kids" movies that have an unexpected intense/scary finale, you should review Garfield Gets Real.
I remembered watching this on Disney Channel. I’m not sure if I’ve had. Fuzzy memory.
My family had both vhs tapes of this movie and the sequel.
As someone who didn't grow up with this film (was never a big dog fan, or a fan of big dogs), my biggest takeaway from all this was "Oh hey, Nicholle Tom was Supergirl in STAS and JLU!"
Oh, and Oliver Platt was the voice of Hades in the best Wonder Woman movie while Dean Jones made a few DCAU cameos. Neat appearances.
Good review Doug, I honestly needed this after what I've been through back in April. Recently I had to say goodbye to one of my cats after a rough battle from a illness 😔. Thanks for the laughs Doug.
Sorry for your loss. Hope your doing alright!!
@@ChannelAwesome I'm doing alright, it's gonna take a little while to heal but I know he's not in pain anymore.
I still own the VHS! I remember watching it a lot of times as a kid!
Also, fun fact, both this and the 1976 King Kong remake were my introductions to Charles Grodin... no jokes, when I saw the latter I was like "Wait, the dad from Beethoven is in a King Kong movie?!"
I remember this movie vaguely from my childhood and it’s insane to see Doug random resurface it after all this time lol
3:24, I didn't know Nicolle Tom was in Beethoven, I know her from The Nanny and Supergirl in the DCAU (Superman: The Animated Series, Batman: The Animated Series season 4 Girl's Night Out, And Justice League Unlimited)
This is a classic! The rescue scene is my favorite part!❤❤❤
It was a big hit over here in Brazil and would often be shown in the “afternoon session”
One of the greatest family films of all time that has stood the test of time and always will.
From Midnight Run to Beethoven. That's a journey.
5:18 41 years old?? Damn you still look good! I thought you were in your mid 30’s or something
You just brought back so many memories. To this day, I still think about this movie, and some of it's sequels. But you were older than I was when it came out. In 1992 I was 5. That was also the year Jurassic Park came out in theatres. That was a great experience. But I grew up on these movies, it was so nice and comforting to watch this. Thanks guys!
Despite not being born yet (1995) those also were parts of my childhood.
It’s funny how we get interested in stuff before our time
Harry potter movies! Hurry before the series makes us forget why the movies were so good!
I second this!!
Hairy Pooter
I third this!
13:19
I mean, certain animals can be protective of little kids because they recognize they're like puppies/kittens/alike and that some places can be dangerous to them.
There was one video with the family's cat stopping a little kid from getting too close to the balcony so he wouldn't climb over it (the part the cat didn't realize is that it would have been safe, because there was a security mesh.)
My Maternal Grandmother born in 1925 loved this movie. I bought the VHS tape for her and she would watch it and Beethoven II at least once a month.
RIP Charles Grodin, Dean Jones and Beethoven
18:00 really wished they did a Turner & Hooch and Beethoven crossover movie that would have been Awesome
19:19 We never see those dogs in any of the sequels. We can assume the grimmest of fates befell them.
Before I start watching the video I just want to point out now that I will be very shocked if there are no Kujo references made throughout. There will be at least one.
12:40 was waiting for the Kujo cutaway right around here
Edit: wow, no Kujo references. Maybe low hanging fruit but not like Doug is above reaching for it.
There were five movies from my childhood with big dogs--Sandlot, Stand By Me (mostly the "Chopper, sick balls" line), Turner and Hooch, K-9, and Beethoven), and Beethoven was the least memorable--I remember Grodin himself more, he was rarely a star but there were at least a half dozen movies I've seen him in where he just steals the show.
