Movie info
| Languages: | English |
| Plot: | An evil dog named Carface Carruthers returns from the dead looking for revenge on his killer using a cute young orphan girl named Anne-Marie who can talk and understand to animals. At first Charlie means to exploit Anne-Marie's gift too, but soon comes to learn he will have to change his ways if he is to earn his place in Heaven again. Charlie and Anne-Marie begin to become friends, but Anne-Marie's strong sense of what is right conflicts with Charlie's complete lack of moral standards and puts their friendship at risk. Worse, Charlie's quest for revenge threatens his own life as well as the lives of his friends Anne-Marie and Itchy. |

Goofs

SYNC: When Itchy repeats the line "402 Maple" after Flo, his mouth doesn't move when he says it. Revealing mistakes: After Itchy asks for directions to 402 Maple St. from another dog, he runs down a street that leads off-screen, but he disappears from the screen before he leaves it. SYNC: When Carface discovers the girl is gone, he's riding a very crudely made vehicle simulator. At one point, he squeezes the horn on the side, which quite visibly honks, but no sound comes out. Revealing mistakes: When Charlie fights with Carface in the abandoned ship, as he looks down at Anne-Marie, the water caustics reflected beneath the ledge are superimposed over Charlie's head. Continuity: Before Charlie goes to heaven, his pocket watch strap is red. When Charlie is on the dock right before he gets hit by the car, as Killer is trying to tie the blindfold on a singing Charlie, you see that Charlie's pocket watch strap is blue for that shot, then goes back to red the next. Miscellaneous: At the very end, when Annabelle (the pink whippet) is taking Charlie back up to Heaven, Charlie has his blue pocket-watch again (the one he lost in the lake) and their lips are moving yet, they aren't talking. This is because they re-used the beginning of the "Let Me Be Surprised" scene. GEOG: When Charlie is killed the first time by the car it is pushed down a hill. There are no hills in New Orleans. |

Charlie: These are some of the poorest people I know. They're more broke than the Ten Commandments. [laughs] That was a little joke. Very little. Charlie: What a selfish, hopeless, callous heel of a cad I've been. Blind to the needs of society's lowly unloved. Whippet Angel: All dogs go to heaven because, unlike people, dogs are naturally good and loyal and kind. Carface: Gamblers are never happy, Charlie. [Charlie has escaped the pound] Gambler Dog: Charlie? Ain't you supposed to be on death row? Charlie: [angrily] No. I AIN'T supposed to be on death row. Charlie: Hey, wait. That looks like a water main. Itchy Itchiford: Naw, water mains are green. This is red! Charlie: Itchy, you're color blind. You've always been color blind. Itchy Itchiford: That's true, but this is green. Charlie: Its red. Itchy Itchiford: Red? [drills into pipe; outside, water bursts out of the ground, and the tunnel floods] Carface: MORONS! I'm surrounded by MORONS! Charlie: Hey guys, waddua ya know, waddua ya say? Itchy Itchiford: Yeah, waddua ya say, waddua ya know? Vera: Things have changed, Charlie, since you've been gone... Life hasn't been no piece of cake. Chihuahua Gambler: Carface ain't been treating us too good. Vera: Things are tough, but we carry on... Gambler Dog: [Charlie wins a game of craps] Could you spare a couple of bones, for old time's sake? Charlie: Why settle for a couple of bones when you could have the whole bank? [puts the craps bones in a slot machine and breaks the bank] Itchy Itchiford: Ya won the jackpot! Charlie, I'm proud of ya. Whippet Angel: [singing] Welcome to being dead. Charlie: [horrified] What? You mean I'm... I'm... Whippet Angel: [flipping through a record book of Charlie's life] Stone cold I'm afraid. Charlie: I can't believe it, I've been murdered! Whippet Angel: I'm having trouble finding any goodness or loyalty here, but let me see. Charlie: He killed me! Whippet Angel: I beg your pardon? Charlie: There's a mistake been made here! [singing] I don't wanna die/You got the wrong guy/I was double crossed by a dirty rat, actually this rat was a dog but his car ran me down/I just blew out of jail, I just got back to town/Hey! This is hard to explain/May I speak to your Superior because I don't wanna die! Whippet Angel: [singing] Welcome to doing whatever you wish... Charlie: [interrupting] You got the wrong guy. Whippet Angel: [singing] Laughing and singing all day. Charlie: Hey! Listen! My time's not up yet! Whippet Angel: Oh but it is, there's no mistake about that, we know everything. Charlie: Murdered in the prime of my life! That Carface, I'll kill him! Dog: What are the odds on Terrible Tom? Dog Bookie: Terrible. Itchy Itchiford: In him there's the luck of the Irish. Charlie: The pride of the German. Itchy Itchiford: Even, he-he, a bit of Siam. Charlie: Siam? There's the calm of the English. Itchy Itchiford: The charm of the Spanish. Charlie: A pedigree certainly ain't what I am. So call me a mixed-up pup. Itchy Itchiford: You're a mixed-up pup. Charlie: But the only way this pup knows is up! Carface: Charlie's alive, and I know he's got the girl. Killer, this is strike two. You're out. Killer: No, boss! I have one more strike, boss! Honest! Anne-Marie: Come on, Chawhee! You can do it, it's your birthday! Itchy Itchiford: I don't care if it's his... his bar mitzvah. That horse is a gluepot. Charlie: You must have taken dance lessons. You have natural rhythm, unusual in a whippet. Charlie: Hey! I know we're all dead up here, but so's the music. How about heating it up? Vera: Honey, you know it! [Upbeat gospel music plays] Charlie: That's nice. That's nice. [last lines] Carface: Argh! I'll get that gator, if it's the last thing I do! Whippet Angel: Touch that clock, and you can never come back. Carface: Shut up. Whippet Angel: [shouts and chases him] I said, touch that clock, and you can never come back! Charlie: He'll be back. Carface: Killer, take Charlie out back for the big surprise. Killer: Surprise? What surprise, boss? Carface: The big... [Does throat-slashing gesture] Carface: ...surprise. Killer: [pours a mess of ketchup on his sandwich like blood on his hand] Oh, you mean that surprise? [Killer faints with his hand still up] Carface: [taps ashes out of his cigar onto the sandwich] You moron. Itchy Itchiford: Yah! Someone's got me by the tail! Charlie: I got you by the tail! Itchy Itchiford: Why don't you tell somebody you're gonna do that? Charlie: You know, it's not worth it being with you. It's not. Itchy Itchiford: Your hands are cold, too. Charlie: All we need now is a couple of bucks. Itchy Itchiford: A couple of bucks, a couple of bucks! Anne-Marie: A couple, a couple. Mmm, yeah! A mom and dad. Charlie: Yeah, sure. Anne-Marie: Charlie, will you help me find a mom and dad? Charlie: Kid, I'll help you find the lost city of Atlantis! Just please, please go to sleep! Charlie: [singing] I love Brazil / The throb, the thrill / I've never been there / But someday I will / Adventure and danger / Love from a stranger / Let me be surprised. Anne-Marie: Charlie, will I ever see you again? Charlie: Sure you will, kid. You know goodbyes aren't forever. Anne-Marie: Then goodbye, Charlie. I love you. Charlie: Yep... I love you too. King Gator: [to Charlie] Ah, you look like a tasty New Orleans canine gumbo! Anne-Marie: No! Don't eat him, please! [King Gator puts Charlie in his mouth and prepares to eat him, but Charlie howls really loudly] King Gator: Ah. [removes Charlie from his mouth] How can you expect me to eat a voice as sumptuous as this? King Gator: What do you call that voice, little fella? Is that a baritone or a tenor? Charlie: It's a... King Gator: Oh, I don't care. It's just you and me. [singing] King Gator: Let's make music together / Let's make sweet harmony... Flo: She's burning up a fever, Charlie. She could have pneumonia! Charlie: Think she needs a vet? Flo: Charlie, she's a little girl. She needs a doctor. Anne-Marie: You're not my friend... You're a bad dog! Itchy Itchiford: Charlie, let me think about this... Charlie: No! Don't think! From now on, I'll do the thinking! Charlie: What do you see up there? Itchy Itchiford: Other than the back side of the buttons, nothing much. Itchy Itchiford: [to a horse after it scares him] If you do that to me one more time, you are glue! Itchy Itchiford: [thinking Charlie's a ghost] Take my 9 piece ratchet set, my oil tin! Don't go away without my Rolls Royce hood ornament! [hits Charlie on the head with it] Please, I've got a bad back! Ah, don't touch! Itchy Itchiford: I can't help it, Charlie, I always itch when I'm nervous. Charlie: Well don't be nervous! Itchy Itchiford: Just scratch this! Charlie: That Carface has something up his sleeve. Itchy Itchiford: Yeah, a gun! Charlie: And when I find out what it is, I'm going to ruin him. Itchy Itchiford: Boss, Carface has got thugs, and they've got muscles, and knives, and he's got a monster. Charlie: Monster? Itchy Itchiford: Boss, they feed it! Charlie: Monster? Itchy Itchiford: Yes that's what I said, monster! Charlie: Itchy, what happened to you? Itchy Itchiford: You want to know what happened to me? I'll tell you what happened to me. Carface happened to me, with about 50 of his thugs. Oh! Charlie: Itch, I'm sorry. Itchy Itchiford: Well, look what else happened while you were sidetracked. See that? [see a building on fire] That's *our* place! You were going to fix Carface well, well he fixed us! You see boss, this whole thing's gone too far. Stella Dallas: [horse race, runs to Sir Reginald] Yoo-hoo! Reginald! Excuse me! Sir Reginald: [chuckles] Oh! Splendid! Hello, Stella. Jolly good day for a race, of course. Stella Dallas: [sweetly] Oh, yes. But Reginald, honey - and I do have to hate to rain on your parade - but did you know... [different, angry, stern tone] Stella Dallas: ...it's the Grand Chawhee's birthday? Sir Reginald: [chuckles] Oh, really? You don't... [loses his monocle and goes awestruck] Sir Reginald: Oh! I'm terribly sorry. |
