Based on the novella by Harlan Ellison, A Boy and His Dog is set in a post-apocalyptic future where canned goods are used as currency and where entertainment often consists of old porn reels. Vic (Don Johnson) is a violent, illiterate scavenger, principally interested in getting laid. He communicates telepathically with his deceptively cute-looking dog Blood (voiced by Tim McIntire); Vic finds food for Blood, while Blood sniffs out girls for Vic. One of these girls is the sexy Quilla June (Susanne Benton), who, unbeknownst to Vic is a spy for an underground society, headed by a Mr. Craddock (Jason Robards Jr.). This subterranean civilization needs a human "sperm bank" to stay alive, and the oversexed Vic fills the bill. Produced by character actor Alvy Moore (Mr. Kimball of TV's Green Acres), A Boy and His Dog was written and directed by another veteran actor, L.Q. Jones. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
Read GreenCine's exclusive interview with character actor L.Q. Jones, next seen in Robert Altman's A Prairie Home Companion - more than fifty years and scores of film and television roles since his onscreen debut. From his late 2003 conversation with Jonathan Marlow, though, you can tell that the achievement he's most proud of is having made the cult science fiction favorite, A Boy and His Dog. Full article >>

..and it was - and not necessarily in a sexual sense either, but that is included as well. Neither Don Johnson or Jason Robards have been so animal or that dog so human. Well, except for the end.
