NAY BUSHI SHANG HONG


K-911 is the best name for a sequel ever. It's genius, because it works on two levels, or even three.

For starters K-9 is pronounced the same as canine, which basically means dog. K-9 also sounds like a police call, as the film is about a police dog. If it is actually a police call then it's not as clever as previously thought.

But the name of the sequel is sublime. For starters it still has the original title of K-9 in the sequel title. Secondly, 911 is the phone number to call for the police in America, where the film is set. Thirdly, and this is the best bit, lots of sequels use roman numerals to number their films e.g Rocky IV, Star Wars Episode V, Police Academy XXVII, so K-911 can easily be seen as K-9 II, rather than K-9 2, which doesn't have the same ring to it.

K-911 = genius. If anyone has actually seen the film, please leave a review. James Belushi lost it after Curly Sue.
