- QuizAlthough Jerry Lee is credited as playing himself in the opening credits, he was in fact played by multiple dogs during the shoot.
The primary dog was named Rando, a three-year-old German Shepherd. A two-year-long search was held to find the right dog for the role and over forty dogs were considered. Eventually, four young Shepherds were brought from West Germany and trained for three months with Karl Lewis Miller. While typical dogs can understand 10-15 commands, Rando was able to perform anywhere from 125 to 150 actions.
A separate dog that was used as a stand-in for some scenes was named Kondo, and was a real-life police dog with the Kansas City Police Department who was sadly killed in the line of duty in 1991, which has led to some confusion that "the dog from K-9" was killed while on duty.
- BlooperWhen Jerry Lee attacks the men in the bar and bites one of them on the hand, it is obvious that the man has a padded sleeve so that dog bite would not hurt him.
- Citazioni
Dooley: Alright, let's get one thing straight: The woman is mine! Now we're both members of the animal kingdom. You know that and I know that. And we both know that this thing is really primal. So if you think you're such a badass you just try that one more time and you're gonna end up in a pet cemetary! You remember the movie Old Yeller? You remember when they shot him in the end? I didn't cry! Now come on!
- Curiosità sui creditiJerry Lee is played by Rando, not Jerry Lee, as credited at the end.
- Versioni alternativeThe UK theatrical version was cut by 21 secs to secure a "12" rating and removed descriptions of a "Colombian Necktie". The 15 rated video version was uncut and the 12 rated DVD is also intact.

Belushi is very convincing and hilarious in his role as a cop, and the dog, surprisingly (I never thought I'd write this), was a great actor and did a terrific job. Hat's off to his handler!
There are predictable and very typical cop vs. bad guy moments, but overall I thought the movie was an extremely funny cop-doggy comedy, with a very predictable but humorous ending to it.
When compared to other cop-dog movies like "Turner and Hooch," it's a credit to Belushi's comedic timing that this film wound up on the top 250!
