Oh my, some people are too young to have known this movie ๐Ÿ˜

[โ€“] [email protected] 49 points 2 months ago (11 children)

I watched this with my kids the other day just to share some of my childhood memories with them.

I sure was surprised to learn the plot of the movie was that some bad guys had developed a new type of bullet and needed to test it out on the thick skulls of live animals. They try to kidnap Beethoven so that they can shoot him in the head. In order to accomplish this, they abuse the dog until it attacks one of them and then cover themselves in fake blood so the family is forced to agree to have the dog put down.

Somehow childhood me had blocked all of this out and just remembered "haha funny big dog".

What in the fuckโ€ฝ It's true

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beethoven_%28film%29

However, Dr. Varnick seeks large-skulled dogs such as St. Bernards for an ammunition test.

Under the guise of doing a follow-up exam on Beethoven, Varnick visits the Newton home. After applying fake blood onto his arm and Beethoven, Varnick provokes Beethoven into a fight and convinces George that the dog attacked him, but Emily protests that the attack was fake. Varnick warns George that Beethoven may be turning aggressive and must be put to sleep, or he will have no choice but to press charges.

But also, what dumb fucks, if they really wanted to test fancy ammo they could use bears or similar. Fuckers have some THICC skulls

Or a dead dog. Why shoot a live one?

Got curious and apparently you can just buy replica AND real animal skulls from this place https://www.skullsunlimited.com

Lmao they even sell real bison skulls apparently (With free shipping!) they could have tested their bullet on a wide range of skulls lol
