It ends in a twist bloody enough to make you wonder how that G rating was earned. The training sequences are the highlight of the film, until the climatic heist, which shouldn't be as much fun to watch as it is. "Gang" sounds like the stuff of Disney flicks, with a few crooks bungling a bank robbery so bad that they may never steal another cent until the leader (Byron Mabe) gets the bright idea to round up some Dobermans and train them via color-coded whistles corresponding to their spiked collars ? to do their criminal activity for them. The original and its immediate 1973 follow-up, "The Daring Dobermans," arrive on DVD in a star-free double feature from the burn-to-order Warner Archive. The 1972 independent crime film was successful enough to spawn three sequels. I can't believe a film franchise existed that I had never heard of, but that's "The Doberman Gang" in a pinch.
