Turner & Hooch

Turner & Hooch offers positive messages about loyalty, doing the right thing, and sticking with something, even though it seems hard or futile.

A man is stabbed in the back with a knife and dies. A dog is shot, with a close-up shot of pierced skin and bleeding, and later dies. A man is shot at but not hit. A man shoots another man at close range, and he dies. Men pull knives or guns on other men in a number of instances, or guns are pulled but not fired while police investigate potential crime scenes. In a few scenes, men wrestle with guns or shots are fired. There are several slow-motion shots of a dog charging humans, in some instances pushing them down and then holding them by clamping its jaws on their throats. A man drives a car into a cement wall on purpose, sending the passenger through the glass and onto the street, bleeding.

Minor profanity throughout, such as "damn," "what the hell," "it's your ass on the line," and "bastard," and a man yells "shut up" numerous times to a dog that's barking loudly. Men refer to other men as "ladies" to insult them.
