Dog the Bounty Hunter review

Posted : 1 year, 6 months ago on 18 April 2008 07:32 (A review of Dog the Bounty Hunter)

Dog the Bounty Hunter is something of a cult figure nowadays. He's a tongue-in-cheek hero amongst my family and to see that he is satirised in cartoons is a sign of his increasing stature.

The format of the show is simple. Some dude will come to Dog's HQ with the latest felon who has skipped bail or missed a court date for a really meagre offence, and DOG WILL THEN HUNT HIM DOWN AND MAKE HIM PAY. I can't ever remember seeing him take down a serious criminal, it's always people who have been caught in the possession of drugs, or ran a stop sign in the middle of the night. But that's what makes the take downs all the more sweet.

They'll spend a whole day thundering through sleepy Hawaiian towns in their huge conspicuous black off-roaders and then finally surround the criminal in his home while he's asleep, half-naked and harmless before storming in with CS gas and non-lethal guns to make the arrest. The Chapman family then makes the most of the drive back to the courthouse by practically reforming the criminal in the back-seat before they throw him into jail. Sometimes it just makes for beautiful television. Other times, it makes for a great drinking game.
