Dogboys


Dogboys is a 1998 American-Canadian made-for-television action-thriller film directed by Ken Russell and starring Dean Cain, Tia Carrere and Bryan Brown. It was originally broadcast on Showtime on April 4, 1998.

Plot

Julian is a convict assigned by the sadistic Captain Brown to be a "dog boy"—a human guinea pig used to train attack dogs to hunt down potential escapees.

Cast

The film was shot in Toronto in May 1997.
Russell said he was given orders to revisions by "anonymous" execs on the film. "It was change this, alter that – no discussion, 'just do it.' There was no one to talk to...
It paid the rent."

Reception

The Los Angeles Times said "Dialogue is deliriously silly, with the term "dogboy" used so frequently you'd think they're trying to make it a national catch-phrase."
