For those that don’t get it…
Oh my, some people are too young to have known this movie 😐
I watched this with my kids the other day just to share some of my childhood memories with them.
I sure was surprised to learn the plot of the movie was that some bad guys had developed a new type of bullet and needed to test it out on the thick skulls of live animals. They try to kidnap Beethoven so that they can shoot him in the head. In order to accomplish this, they abuse the dog until it attacks one of them and then cover themselves in fake blood so the family is forced to agree to have the dog put down.
Somehow childhood me had blocked all of this out and just remembered “haha funny big dog”.
What in the fuck‽ It’s true
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beethoven_(film)
However, Dr. Varnick seeks large-skulled dogs such as St. Bernards for an ammunition test.
Under the guise of doing a follow-up exam on Beethoven, Varnick visits the Newton home. After applying fake blood onto his arm and Beethoven, Varnick provokes Beethoven into a fight and convinces George that the dog attacked him, but Emily protests that the attack was fake. Varnick warns George that Beethoven may be turning aggressive and must be put to sleep, or he will have no choice but to press charges.
But also, what dumb fucks, if they really wanted to test fancy ammo they could use bears or similar. Fuckers have some THICC skulls
Or a dead dog. Why shoot a live one?
Got curious and apparently you can just buy replica AND real animal skulls from this place https://www.skullsunlimited.com
Lmao they even sell real bison skulls apparently (With free shipping!) they could have tested their bullet on a wide range of skulls lol
What in the fuck‽ It’s true
Lol yeah dude, I wouldn’t just make that shit up. It’s wild!
I didn’t remember that this is what it was about 😮
Same! There’s a lot of stuff from my childhood that I remember being awesome, then going back to revisit it and being horrified. Like, I vaguely remembered the movie Gremlins being cute and funny when I was a kid. But reading the plot now makes me wonder how I survived childhood without PTSD.
How about the part in the 2nd one where the dog destroys part of a cabin thereby preventing a teenage girl from being sexually assaulted. PG movies in the 80s and 90s were something
I couldn’t get past the dad yelling that he wanted to kill himself, while watching with my youngin
Jesus what the fucking Christ
I remember the fake blood, but wasn’t the movie about them wanting to breed the dogs with their female dog and selling the little ones for lots of money?
I just looked it up and the selling puppies was the plot of the 2nd movie.
knock at the door
Me, excitedly answering
“It’s us! The four most famous renaissance era artists!”
Me, crying and running into my room.
Hope you guys like pizza, cause that’s all I bought.

Dude…
If “A Major” in the title was intentional, then bravo!
Honestly I’d be exited to be able to meet the composer anyway, and maybe give him a pat on the head.
Wasn’t Beethoven deaf ?
Not completely, not at first. If he cupped his hands or used a horn he could hear people talking. But towards the end of his life he would play the piano while resting his head against it. It’s kind of sad, really.
No, dogs have great hearing
not all his life. Maybe it’s a younger bothoven
