''Turner & Hooch'' is a 1989 American comedy-thriller film starring Tom Hanks and Beasley the Dog as the eponymous characters, Turner and Hooch respectively. The film also co-stars Mare Winningham, Craig T. Nelson and Reginald VelJohnson. It was directed by Roger Spottiswoode; the film was originally slated to be directed by Henry Winkler, but he was terminated because of his "creative differences". It was co-written by Michael Blodgett of ''Beyond the Valley of the Dolls'' fame. Although ''K-9'' (with James Belushi) was released prior to this film (exactly three months earlier), ''Turner & Hooch'' became more popular and seemingly overshadowed its greater success, even though ''K-9'' had a very similar plot. A pilot for a Turner & Hooch TV series was made and ran as a part of The Magical World of Disney. ==Plot== Scott Turner (Tom Hanks) is an obsessively neat police investigator who is bored with his minor police work in the fictional town of Cypress Beach in Northern California and is set to transfer to a better job in Sacramento, while fellow investigator David Sutton (Reginald VelJohnson) is to be his replacement. As Scott shows David around, we meet local junk-yard owner Amos Reed (John McIntire), who is Scott’s friend and owner of Hooch (Beasley the Dog), a large and slobbery Dogue de Bordeaux. After a thug kills Amos, Scott pleads with police chief Howard Hyde (Craig T. Nelson) to let him take on Amos's murder case. Believing that Hooch is the only "witness" he has, Scott brings him home. The energetic dog promptly tears the investigator's house apart, chews up his car, and turns his life upside down. On a positive note, however, Hooch also instigates a romance between Scott and the new town veterinarian Emily Carson (Mare Winningham); Hooch also starts his own romance with the vet’s dog, Camille. Scott and Hooch slowly bond, and they work together to solve the murder. It’s a drug-smuggling operation, run out of a local seafood distributor, with money-laundering assistance from the corrupt police chief Howard Hyde. When the drug kingpin is cornered, Hooch takes a bullet for his human buddy and dies despite Emily’s best efforts. But Camille has puppies, one of whom that looks and acts exactly like Hooch. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Turner & Hooch」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
