Cruising is a 1980 American erotic crime thriller film written and directed by William Friedkin and starring Al Pacino , Paul Sorvino , and Karen Allen . It is loosely based on the novel of the same name by New York Times reporter Gerald Walker about a serial killer targeting gay men , particularly those men associated with the leather scene in the late 1970s . The title is a play on words with a dual meaning because cruising can describe police officers on patrol and gay men who are cruising for sex . Poorly received by critics upon release , Cruising performed moderately at the box office . The shooting and promotion were dogged by gay rights protesters , who believed that the film stigmatized them . The film is also notable for its open-ended finale , which was criticized by Robin Wood and Bill Krohn as further complicating what they felt were the director 's incoherent changes to the rough cut and synopsis , as well as other production issues .
The Dogs of War is a 1980 war film based upon the 1974 novel of the same name by Frederick Forsyth . Largely filmed in Belize , it was directed by John Irvin and starred Christopher Walken and Tom Berenger . In it a small mercenary unit of soldiers is privately hired to depose the president of a fictional African country so that a British tycoon can gain access to a platinum deposit . The title is based on a phrase from William Shakespeare 's play Julius Caesar : Cry , 'Havoc ! ' , and let slip the dogs of war .

K-9 is a 1989 American buddy cop action-comedy film starring James Belushi and Mel Harris . It was directed by Rod Daniel , written by Steven Siegel and Scott Myers , produced by Lawrence Gordon and Charles Gordon , and released by Universal Pictures . Belushi plays bad-tempered San Diego police detective Michael Dooley , who has been tagged for execution by a major international drug dealer named Ken Lyman ( played by Kevin Tighe ) . To help , K-9 Sergeant Brannigan ( played by Ed O'Neill ) gives Dooley an unorthodox drug-sniffing police dog called Jerry Lee ( named after rock-and-roll singer Jerry Lee Lewis ) . The duo attempt to put Lyman behind bars but Dooley quickly learns Jerry Lee is a mischievous smart aleck who works only when and how he wants to . Many of the film 's gags revolve around Jerry Lee 's playfully destructive episodes . The film has two direct-to-video sequels , K-911 ( 1999 ) and K-9 : P.I . ( 2002 ) . K-9 was released exactly three months before Turner & Hooch ( with Tom Hanks ) , which had a similar plot .
