Watch A Boy and His Dog For Free

I love this movie so much

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Finally after many years watched the cult sci-fi fantasy classic from 1975 "A Boy and his Dog", and I must say wow it's clearly a different kind of picture really probably one that would not be made in today's market. Still the film has a clear message of survival and the need for man to have the basics of food and sex! Aside from that the movie is strange and crazy with a world that seems like something right out of a "Twilight Zone" episode only it's more crazier and bizarre even it seems your watching something abnormal.The story involves World War IV and it has just ended in 2024 lasting only five days and most of earth has been destroyed and ravaged as survivors struggle to find the basic things like food, shelter and friends. It's like earth is a hot wasteland of atomic garbage. And the lead character is a young man named Vic(Don Johnson 10 years before his breakout "Miami Vice" fame!)who has with him a talking and telepathic dog called Blood and both wonder the hot dirt like roads in search of food and ladies. Along the way Vic and Blood meet several strange people who show them a new world which may not be for the better.The movie is based on a novella from sci-fi author Harlan Ellison this picture is clearly dark in nature still it's blended with funny moments as it's a search trip and adventure thru a world of hunt and seek with the friendship between a boy and his dog taking over matters as that's the only plan to help both find the basics of food and companionship from the other sex. Overall good cult film to check out and watch and it's memorable for the fact that it's one of Don Johnson's very early works long before he became a household name.

Let me start by saying I'm well aware of the cult classic status of this film. And while I have several cult classics that are near and dear to my heart, this is not one of them. In fact, this is one of the worst films I've ever seen in my life. Sure, the premise sounds intriguing: a young man and his dog, who can communicate with each other, roam the barren landscape, in search of food and, well, women in a post-WWIV world. I've always been fascinated by the post- apocalyptic genre, but this film is just a complete fail on all levels. While Don Johnson, as the "boy," is sort of enjoyable in the lead role, literally nothing else comes together. The script is head- scratching. The plot is scattered at best and practically inconsequential in the final act. I understand that there are some who like this sort of abstract film making, but I do not. I prefer for there to be a point of some kind. Rest assured that there is absolutely no point whatsoever to A Boy And His Dog. If you want to invite some friends over, get hammered, and laugh your asses off at an incomprehensibly incoherent movie, then this is the film for you. But if you're looking for a genuine and satisfying movie experience, you'd best steer clear of this one.

Look at it this way: while most dystopic & post-apoclypse movies do either a good or bad job at portraying either human suffering after an extreme catastrophe or war, this movie laughs at the absurdity of human nature where the apocalyptic event besides creating a barren wasteland drove a good deal of people outright nuts. And if Mad Max 2 and 3 had their fair take at poking at least some fun at the post- apocalyptic life this movie does a decent black comedy and does so intentionally.Won't spoil with the details though, but if you have any genuine liking of Fallout franchise then you will definitely recognise several concepts this movie invented that were directly copied into the game with relatively few changes.

Interesting post-apocalyptic movie about a young man (Don Johnson) roaming around with his telepathic dog looking for food and sex. He meets a woman who lures him underground to a place that's unlike anything on the surface.The movie's written and directed by, of all people, western character actor L.Q. Jones. He adapted this from a Harlan Ellison short story. I haven't read the original so I don't know how much of this script is Ellison and how much is Jones. To be clear, the characterizations and dialogue are what make this movie entertaining. The story is nothing special, really. You've seen one post-apocalyptic movie, you've (at least partially) seen them all. It's a very repetitive subgenre of sci-fi. The idea here about the telepathic dogs only works so well because of the great dialogue in the film. Both the dog and Don Johnson's character are well-written and you care about them both throughout the movie. Well, maybe you care more about the dog. Anyway, it's not a bad movie despite some unpleasantness for the sake of the 'dread god realism.' Give it a shot if you like sci-fi of this type or just cult '70s movies in general.
