A title
Pretty much what you'd expect from a mid-70's sci-fi movie as far as production and effects go. Some of it is a bit silly, but the post-apocalyptic world is a bit darker and harsher than most "hopeful" films of the genre and period. Obviously they were trying to push the limits of acceptable, and occasionally taste. Still, one can't help but wonder if the whole movie was little more than a set-up for the somewhat morbid closing joke... |  | Reviewed on 2008-05-15
A Cult Classic
"A Boy and His Dog" (1975) is science-fiction satire based on a well-known Harlan Ellison story. The movie takes us on the adventures of a young scavenger, Vic, (a VERY young Don Johnson) and his intelligent, telepathic dog, Blood, in post-apocalyptic Arizona. Blood and Vic need each other to survive, to find food for both and the girls for Vic. Blood is always hungry, and Vic always wants a woman. That's the common through-line of the entire movie, and it drives Vic to do things he might not normally do. Or might he? This low tech, well-paced film is dark and funny, making it deserving of its cult status. | | Reviewed on 2008-03-24
Great Movie - Horrible Release
"Horrible" is for the DVD release, not for the wonderfully quirky movie. They must have found the worst available VHS copy to dup to DVD. My old VHS has better picture and sound quality. If you're a fan of the movie, do yourself a favor and wait for a remastered DVD release. | | Reviewed on 2008-03-24
Crockett and Tubs, the Early Years
This is a fun movie for those who don't mind low tech, low-brow fare. Released in 1975, A Boy and His Dog features Don Johnson as Vic, a post-apocalyptic scavenger paired with an intelligent canine named Blood. They communicate telepathically, but really, what's the point? Vic always wants to find women and Albert always wants to find food. That's the theme of the entire story and it motivates Vic to do things he'd never before considered. There are surprise appearances from Jason Robards and Alvy Moore (Hank Kimball from Green Acres.) The movie is well-paced, a little dated, and well worth seeing. Note: The script is based on a book by Harlan Ellison, who apparently hated the last line of the movie. | | Reviewed on 2007-10-18
