The Dog Outacts everyone

[malcolmgsw · 5/10 · 2 May 2011]

Kazam,clearly a cousin of Rin Tin Tin out acts everyone in this film.This despite being thrown about and shot at.The story is fairly familiar.The villain trying to do the heroine and her father out of their goldmine.The villain being the fiancé of the heroine.She trusts him implicitly despite all signs to the contrary.The villain kills the father out on the prarie.Gool old Kazam finds where the body is buried but each time he digs something out of the makeshift grave it is the villain who finds it.there is a Mounty around but he doesn't so much get the man as have him handed on a plate to him by Kazam.there is a rather unusual twist to this in that there is a very sympathetically played deaf boy who communicates through sign language.The production as you would expect is threadbare and looks as if almost every expense was spared.

Kazan on the ball

Jaws for Justice only exists as a scratchy version with poor sound quality. It is a very low budget quickie starring Kazan the wonder dog. He gets shot, kicked, thrown about but you cannot keep a good dog down.

Kazan is a witness to the murder of a gold digger who has found the location of a mine. His daughter is later terrorised, her boyfriend looks too slimy and there is mute boy who is trying to figure out the location of the mine from some clues.

In the mix there is a Mountie who comes to the rescue of the daughter and Kazan is on the scent of the culprit.

It is not easy to watch such a poor quality film which is in need of restoration. You can tell it is a quickly made cheapo film with little plot. The bad guy is easily identifiable. The addition of a mute boy communicating in sign language is a nice touch.
