The Doberman Gang

I first saw this in the late 80s on a vhs. Revisited it recently on a pirated dvd, it is vhs ripped but a clean copy. It is available on YouTube but I bought the dvd for my collection.

It is about a gang of robbers who after a failed robbery, train dogs with the help of a professional trainer to rob a bank.

This movie is the first n d best film about dogs robbing a bank. Of course it is a far-fetched one but with lots of humor n solid tension. The best part is the training n minor details like putting a spiked collar to prevent strangulation.

When I saw this movie on IMDb I remembered it from my childhood. At that time, It had disturbed me in someway but I couldn't remember why. So I decided to rewatch.

The story is simpler than I remember. I liked it this time. Although the quality is very very low and acting is looking so cheap, anyway, the idea is original. Maybe it should be remade with a better execution.

Finally I solved the reason why I was disturbed. It was about the final flick. I thought that was not fair in that time, but I changed my mind. It is very cool.

I recommend it in your free time for killing time.

I remember seeing this when I was just six years old and I really enjoyed it. This was probably one of the most outlandish films I ever saw, but it is still a great film to watch. Even though the budget was low and the acting is barely professional, it still was a great treat. Also, even though there are a few violent moments, especially when one of the dogs attacks the bank guard, it is still something that I wouldn't mind showing younger kids.

Training 6 doberman dogs to rob a bank? Actually, this outlandish premise is executed with far more believability than you'd think. The criminals behind the dogs are not portrayed as buffoons or as totally unredeemable; in fact, they are pretty likable guys for the most part. (And - shock of all shocks - it's the Vietnam veteran character who comes across as the most sympathetic!) As well, we are taken through the plan step by step, seeing how they slowly train the dogs and deal with any potential problems that come up during the way. It's a little dry at times (the low budget doesn't exactly make it flashy), but never does it get really boring. The only thing I question about the movie is how it got a "G" rating, given a couple of (mild, admitedly) love scenes and a couple of *seriously* bloody sequences! Those bloody sequences really shatter the agreeably fluffy and light tone, and make it questionable as a family movie. Despite that, the movie was pretty successful, subsequently generating two theatrical sequels and one made-for-TV movie.

A group of clever criminals train a six Doberman Pinchers to rob a bank for them in this low-budget crime caper film. Director Byron Chudnow doesn't display a great deal of finesse, nor does the cast of unknowns for that matter, but he manages to get the job done. One of the better B-caper films of its time. This is a guilty pleasure I return to time and time again.
