    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      No sequel was originally planned for Beethoven (1992), but after the film became a surprise box office success, a sequel was commissioned.
    • Goofs
      In the movie, the door leading down to the basement is directly under the stairs. In the first Beethoven film, the door to the basement wasn't there. Instead there were drawers and a cabinet in the wall.
    • Quotes

      Floyd: [knock at the door] That's her, that's the dog

      Regina: Dogs don't knock, Floyd.

    • Crazy credits
      Film title logo appears when end credits are finished
    • Alternate versions
      The following scenes were never shown in theaters, video, or DVD; only on television:
      • Ted removing his jacket to use it as a cover for the puppies he and Emily were placing in a cardboard box.
      • Ted and Emily are trapped in the apartment garage (where Regina and Floyd reside), so they try to open the garage door by stepping on a wire that opens it, but to no avail. However, Beethoven chews on the wire, which causes the garage to open.
      • After George Newton finds out about the puppies, the next scene shows him stapling fliers on each tree saying "Puppies for sale", while Emily secretly takes them off one-by-one, then attempts to potty-train them next to a hydrant, but it becomes very difficult for him.
      • The Newtons were packing all of their belongings and gear into their car before leaving their house.
      • After the McDonald's scene, the Newtons are singing car songs.
      • During the stay at their lake house, Ted secretly picks out air fresheners from the local convenience store.
      • Emily telling her mom that she taught their puppy Tchaikovsky, but he doesn't really follow her at all afterwards.
      • At Taylor's party, it shows Beethoven struggling to get free from the support beam, with the glass bottles shown shaking frequently. Although the scene where the three party guys are shown pouring beer onto Beethoven is edited out (but not in the final cut of the film).
      • During The fair scene when George is eating the kids show up to take him to the eating contest with Beethoven,the scene originally ends with George saying "What kind of a contest is it where you just sit?" however there is an extended version which shows them walking away with Ted saying "C'mon Dad"
      • After George's nightmare sequence of a lot of puppies in his living room, the Newton family's commercial airs on their TV and they all begin to watch it. The difference here (compared to the final cut of the film) is that once the doorbell rang (after the commercial), Ryce stands up quickly from the couch and answers the door, instead of her shouting, "I'll get it!"

    The last watchable "Beethoven" film...

    Watchable first sequel to the surprise hit stars Charles Grodin and Bonnie Hunt as the reprising Newton family, whose slobbering Saint Bernard--Beethoven--gets himself a female doggie to make love with and produce tiny little doggies with. Problem: Two evil dognappers are chasing after the puppies.

    Why do they want them? Well, why did Cruella Devil want puppies? Because they're villains.

    A very poor movie, but compared to "Beethoven's 3rd, 4th" and "5th" this looks like a masterpiece.

    2.5/5 stars -- mediocre but watchable sequel.
