OUR RATING: ★★★☆☆

Story:

Animated action comedy directed by Rob Minkoff and Mark Koetsier, loosely inspired by Mel Brooks’s Blazing Saddles (1974). Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank (2022) centers on hard-on-his-luck hound, Hank (Michael Cera), who finds himself in a town full of cats who need a hero to defend them from ruthless villain Ika Chu’s (Ricky Gervais) evil plot to wipe their village off the map. With help from a reluctant teacher, Jimbo (Samuel L. Jackson), to train him, Hank must assume the role of town samurai and team up with the villagers to save the day. The only problem, cats hate dogs.

Best Quotes


 

Ika Chu: I’ve spared no expense making this the grandest palace in the land. Imported mice to chase, fine couches to ruin. I even got the first and second largest balls of yarn in the world.
Ohga: My, you have big balls.
Ika Chu: And the crown jewel of the palace, my state-of-the-art bathroom. Behold, the future! I call it the Super Bowl. Because that’s what it is, a super bowl!


 

Ika Chu: What do you do when you’re a landlord, and you have tenants you really hate? You evict them.
Ohga: But the town’s been there for thousands of years.
Ika Chu: I give you an order, and you give me facts? Really?


 

Yuki: I know these events look dire, but we must stand on our own four legs and fight. This is our home. It is the sacred place where our kittens were born, and where we will one day join our ancestors. In a shoebox buried behind the garage.


 

Ichiro: What we need is a samurai.
Chuck: We still can’t find the last one. We even put up posters.


 

Emiko: Where did we get our old samurai?
Chuck: Samurais-R-Us?


 

The Shogun: Oh, well, you break the law, you pay the price. It’s not personal. It’s just business. And you know what they say, there’s no business like Shogun business.


 

Guard 1: You came to this country illegally. It’s strictly “no dogs allowed”. Didn’t you know? Cats hate dogs.
Hank: Wait, but dogs are lovable. How could you hate a dog?
Guard 2: My dad hated dogs, and that’s good enough for me. It’s not really based on logic. It just feels right to hate, you know?
Guard 1: Hey, makes sense to me.


 

Ika Chu: I’m trying to think up here! I know you’ve got a lot of prisoners to kill, but please, can you keep it down?

Hank: Hey, can’t we just talk this out?
Guard 3: I don’t speak dog!
Hank: But wait, we’re communicating right now.
Guard 3: No, we’re not!
Hank: You just understood me!
Guard 3: No, I didn’t.


 

Ika Chu: I am offering to make you the new samurai of Kakamucho.
Hank: Kakamucho? What’s that?
Ika Chu: In the way.


 

Hank: Are you sure I’m ready to defend an entire town? Maybe I should start out as a mall samurai.


 

Ichiro: It’s the latest thing. It’s called a gun.
Chuck: Is it dangerous?
Ichiro: Don’t be silly. Guns don’t kill cats. Cars and curiosity kill cats.
Chuck: What’s a car?
Ichiro: Careful, you’re being curious.


 

Hank: Okay. Here goes nothing.
Hank: [rides past a “No Dogs Allowed” sign] Welcoming committee? Maybe this won’t be so bad. Okay. First day on the job. Make eye contact. Smile.
Chuck: It’s a dog!
Ichiro: He’s going to ruin everything!
Chuck: Let’s kill him before the new samurai arrives!

 

'It is not so important what you do, as it is important that you do something.' - Jimbo (Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank) Click To Tweet

 

Ichiro: [after they knock out Hank] Now, that’s what I call “woking” the dog!
Chuck: Yeah, because she hit that dog with a wok!


 

Little Mama: [to Hank] You are, number one, not a cat. Number two, you are a dog, so that goes back to you not being a cat. And C, you are definitely not a samurai, because you are a dog, and that goes back to you not being a cat! Go back where you came from, car chaser!
Chuck: Again! What’s a car?
Ichiro: Stop being curious! You’ll kill us all!


 

Ika Chu: Dog gammit! What kind of a world do we live in where good and upright citizens can’t be counted on to kill someone just because they look different?!


 

Hank: Who are you?
Jimbo: My friends call me Jimbo. And since I have no friends, I guess, you can call me Jimbo too. I guess it works either way.


 

Hank: Oh, and I suppose you know everything because you’re a samurai?
Jimbo: Well, I know you’re not.
Hank: Why? Because I’m a dog?
Jimbo: No. Because you’re an idiot. No real samurai would be caught dead wearing that. Is that a bathrobe? You get that from a hotel?

 

'Always defeats strength with smart.' - Jimbo (Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank Click To Tweet

 

Hank: Hey, is there a book? You know, an instruction manual, like “How to be a Samurai”?
Jimbo: You mean “Samurai For Dummies”?
Hank: Yes!
Jimbo: No. That would be dumb.


 

Jimbo: You better get out there. It’s samurai time, and you’re the samurai, right?
Hank: It looks a little dangerous out there.
Jimbo: Oh, yeah. Dangerous. That’s NWA out there. Ninjas With Attitude. But you go ahead. It’ll be great. You are the samurai!


 

Jimbo: Interesting choice, using your face to block those punches. I wouldn’t have considered that.
Hank: Yeah, well what do you know?
Jimbo: Enough not to get my butt kicked.


 

Hank: I’ve got to make this samurai thing work! I have to. But first, I need to learn.
Jimbo: Sounds like you need a mentor.
Hank: Dog breath?
Jimbo: Not Mentos! Mentor! A teacher! To take you under his wing! Teach you all he knows, that kind of thing.


 

Hank: [referring to finding a mentor] Perhaps a once great samurai who has fallen on hard times, and maybe could use some help himself. But where would I find one? Hey, it’s you!
Jimbo: [as a neon sign with “Samurai” on it points at him] What? Get out of here! Who even made that? Don’t believe everything you read.

 

'You must control your fear, or fear will control you.' - Jimbo (Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank) Click To Tweet

 

Jimbo: There’s a lot about you that’s bothering me. Like, for instance, how you got here.
Hank: It wasn’t easy, that’s for sure. I had to cross impassable seas, unclimbable mountains, and really nasty midtown traffic.


 

Hank: Will you train me?
Jimbo: Nope.
Hank: Why? Because you’re so busy?
Jimbo: No. Because you’re so brainless.
Hank: But I showed you my movie! The whole flashback thing! I don’t believe it!


 

Jimbo: [referring to Emiko] The cuteness is strong with this one.


 

Jimbo: Defend yourself.
Hank: What am I supposed to do with a stick?
Jimbo: Lesson one, it is not so important what you do, as it is important that you do something. A warrior has cat-like reflexes.
Hank: I’m not a cat. I’m a dog!
Jimbo: Nobody’s perfect.


 

Hank: Wait. That music. Hey, this is the training montage, isn’t it? Hey, can’t we just skip ahead to the part where I’m good?
Jimbo: No. This is my favorite part. The part where you suffer.

 

'You should know that I am a highly trained, mostly trained warrior, skilled in the ways of karate and swordplay, as well as musical theater.' - Hank (Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank) Click To Tweet

 

Jimbo: Don’t forget to land on your…
Jimbo: [Hank lands on his back] Feet.


 

Hank: You said you could make me a samurai.
Jimbo: I can “make” you a pizza. But I cannot make you into anything. That power is only within yourself.

 

'Remember, fear is only in your mind!' - Jimbo 'And a little bit in my kimono.' - Hank (Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank) Click To Tweet

 

Hank: So, what happened to you? How did you go from being a samurai to a washed up loser who drinks too much catnip, has an obvious weight problem, no real friends to speak of, is pre-diabetic…
Jimbo: That’s enough!


 

Jimbo: There was a time I was chief bodyguard of a very important official named Toshiro Tyfune. He was a real cool cat, with greatness ahead of him.
Hank: Is this going to be a flashback?
Jimbo: Don’t interrupt me.
Hank: Because if it’s a flashback, you should really try the projector, it could really brings the thing to life.
Jimbo: I don’t need the projector. It’s an old-fashioned remembering. Now, stop interrupting!


 

Jimbo: Today, we begin something new. I have learned I cannot teach a dog to be a cat. What I must do is teach a dog to be a better dog.


 

Jimbo: The blindfold is to help you focus. Now, listen. Tell me what you hear.
Hank: I hear you talking, and moving.
Jimbo: Good.
Hank: I hear a bird.
Jimbo: That’s it.
Hank: I smell flowers actually.
Jimbo: Dogs have a keen sense of smell, and excellent hearing.
Hank: I hear a dragonfly. I smell wood burning. I smell tea brewing. Hey, are you making nachos? Because someone just cut the cheese.
Jimbo: [as he flaps his behind to get rid of the smell] Lesson over. Well done.

 

'What the mother father cocker spaniel is going on here?!' - Jimbo (Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank) Click To Tweet

 

Jimbo: In battle as in life, a samurai strives to maintain his balance. And always defeats strength with smart.


 

Jimbo: You must control your fear, or fear will control you.


 

Ika Chu: I’m surrounded by imbeciles. Complete morons!

Ika Chu: Ohga, don’t take this the wrong way, okay? But you are a total failure, and a major disappointment. No offense.
Ohga: None taken. Constructive criticism is always welcome.
Ika Chu: Shh. I didn’t expect much of you, and you still disappointed me.


 

Hank: [to Sumo] You should know that I am a highly trained, mostly trained warrior, skilled in the ways of karate and swordplay, as well as musical theater.


 

Jimbo: Is your plan to let him hit you until he gets tired?
Hank: Maybe.
Jimbo: Bold plan


 

Jimbo: [to Hank, referring to Sumo] He’s told you his weakness. Remember, you defeat strength with smart. Now get back out there!

Hank: Really looks like things are turning around for me, eh?

Ika Chu: You like fun, don’t you?
Hank: Of course I like fun! Fun is so fun!
Ika Chu: Fun is fun, isn’t it? The clue is in the word.


 

Hank: I thought you were my friend.
Jimbo: I am your teacher. Your mentor. As I told you when we met, I am not your friend! A Samurai has only duty, not friends!


 

Hank: Vip? What’s that mean?
Ika Chu: V-I-P. Very important pooch.


 

Hank: Don’t get me wrong, this is all so fantastic. It’s just, you don’t think that I’m being a glory-seeker, do you?
Ika Chu: Hank, never miss an opportunity to pat yourself on the back.


 

Jimbo: [to Hank] You are not samurai! You were a selfish idiot. Today, you are nothing.


 

Ichiro: [to Hank] Where were you, great samurai?!
Chuck: Hey, thanks for nothing! Because guess what? You did nothing! And I’m thanking you sarcastically!


 

Jimbo: What are you doing here?
Hank: I couldn’t help myself. I’m a dog. That makes me loyal.


 

Hank: You do care!
Jimbo: Only about saving Sumo. You, I could do without.


 

Hank: Pretty good idea, huh?
Jimbo: Stop wagging your tail. I didn’t say it was a good idea, I just said it doesn’t suck.


 

Jimbo: [referring to searching for Sumo] Now this could be difficult and might take a while. So, let’s split up. I’ll take the areas to the north and west. You go south and east. Let’s try to be methodical about this. There could be thousands of cells here, and this could take hours,  maybe days.
Hank: He’s right over here.


 

Sumo: Hank, no need to save Sumo. Sumo’s just prawn in ocean of life.
Hank: Of course we have to save you! You’re our friend.
Sumo: Friends? Sumo overcome with emotion!


 

Jimbo: While I appreciate the bro-fest, we should probably get out of here.
Hank: Wait a second, I’ve got to mark my territory.
Jimbo: We don’t have time for that!
Hank: But it’s a dog thing. I want them to know I was here! I even had asparagus last night.


 

Jimbo: What’s the plan?
Hank: At this moment, it is not so important what we do, as it is…
Jimbo, Hank: Important that we do something.
Hank: Not sure yet what that something is.


 

Jimbo: Remember, fear is only in your mind!
Hank: And a little bit in my kimono.


 

Hank: But we’re a team.
Jimbo: No. I have to do this, and there is no team in “I”. But there is an “I” in samurai!


 

Ika Chu: [to Ohga] You saved my life. But you touched me. Ugh! If that ever happens again, let me die. Okay?


 

Ika Chu: Do you know what a scapegoat is, Ohga?
Ohga: No, but if there’s a goat around here, I will have him arrested immediately.


 

Hank: Can’t you see that this is just the last act of a desperate cat?
Ichiro: We don’t care if it’s the first act of Mamma Mia! We’re leaving before that army gets here!


 

Ika Chu: Let’s see. Cut-throats, good. Bounty hunters, desperados, biker gangs, excellent. Mugs, thugs, nitwits, dimwits, mobsters, muggers, bushwhackers, hornswagglers, serial killers, studio executives. Wow! It looks like everyone’s here.


 

Hank: In a heroic effort to protect your town, today we lost Jimbo.
Ichiro: No! No, not Jimbo!
Chuck: Who’s Jimbo?
Ichiro: I don’t know. Didn’t he date your sister?
Chuck: No, that was Gumbo.


 

Hank: Sure. Go. After all, you’re cats. You’ve got nine lives, right? But I’m a dog! I have one life. And the best thing that happened to me, in this one life, is this town.


 

Hank: Life is short. And this movie is only eighty-five minutes long, not including end credits, so we have to hurry! If we’re going to save this town, we have to find a way beyond judging each other strictly on labels, like dog and cat! Together, we can get past all that. We can all be better together!


 

Sumo: We are all the same. Look different on the outside, but we can choose for ourselves what our insides look like.
Ichiro: See now, the big guy makes a lot of sense.


 

Ika Chu: Everyone get plenty to eat? You can’t crush the innocent on an empty stomach, can you? Enjoy the entree, because dessert is death and destruction.


 

Ohga: Who knew an evil army could go through so many beans?


 

Ika Chu: [as his army farts] Ah, the smell of victory in the air!


 

Jimbo: What the mother father cocker spaniel is going on here?!


 

The Shogun: In-laws you don’t pick. Friends, you choose. And you, Jimbo, are my friend.
Jimbo: So, you forgive me?
The Shogun: Forgiven, forgotten, no biggie. Hey, life’s short. Like me. Let’s move on!


 

The Shogun: Well, Peek-a-boo, what have you got to say for yourself?
Ika Chu: You want an explanation? You’re going to get one. I am running away!


 

Ika Chu: I have something very important to tell you, Hank.
Hank: What is it?
Ika Chu: I am your father.
Hank: No, you’re not.
Ika Chu: No, I’m not.


 

The Shogun: The dog? He can’t be a samurai! He can’t be anywhere. It’s the law. You know the rules! No dogs allowed. It’s not personal. It’s just business. And you know what they say, there’s no business…
All: Like Shogun business!
The Shogun: Exact-ally!


 

Jimbo: [referring to Hank] But he’s not a dog. He’s my friend.


 

The Shogun: So, how does it feel to be a real samurai?
Emiko: Good, but not as good as it will feel someday when I’m the shogun.
The Shogun: The Shogun? You? You know something? That ain’t such a bad idea. Sure, why not? And I got to tell you, it’s good to be the Shogun!


 

Ika Chu: [post-credits lines, to himself, as he’s in prison] Oh, dog-gone it. Still. At least I don’t have to do the sequel.
