Short description
Scott Turner has 3 days left in the local police department before he moves to a bigger city to get some 'real' cases—not just misdemeanors. When Amos Reed is murdered, Scott sets himself on the case, but the closest thing to a witness to the murder is Reed's dog, Hooch, which Scott has to take care of—to avoid Hooch being 'put to sleep'.
What's left behind the scenes
- The scene where Hooch dies was filmed last. Hanks had become very attached to Beasley during filming, so he was able to cry imagining he would never see the dog again.
- In an interview, Tom Hanks said that the film could have been much more successful if Hooch hadn't died.
- Dudley Moore declined to play Turner.
- John Larroquette, Jack Nicholson, Bill Murray, and Chevy Chase were considered for the role of Scott Turner.
- An alternative ending was filmed in which Hooch survives. Both endings were tested with different audiences, who reacted to them similarly. However, the original ending, where Hooch dies, evoked a passionate emotional response from viewers. Disney’s head of production, Jeffrey Katzenberg, decided to use the original ending because that’s what the directors wanted.
- Filming took place in California from January 23 to April 28, 1989.
- Henry Winkler was initially approved as the film's director. However, after two weeks of filming, he was fired by Disney executive Jeffrey Katzenberg, who was dissatisfied with his work.
- This was the last film of actor John McIntire.
- Hooch is a Dogue de Bordeaux.
