If...Dog...Rabbit. What the hell?

Granted, I haven't seen this, so hopefully this makes some kind of sense in the context of the movie. Can anyone explain it?

It's kind of weird that IMDb just doesn't use "One Last Score", because that's the title on the DVD and on the trailer. "If...Dog...Rabbit" is just the shortening of the philosophy that John (Modine) tells his brother Jamie (O'Connor) when they are young boys (ironic due to the fact that the movie is set after John decides to go straight, and it's his brother who is the crooked criminal). But to get to the point, "If...Dog...Rabbit" is shortened from: "If a dog stops to take a dump, he'll never catch the rabbit." Not a very tactful title, if you ask me. But there you go.

I agree. I was watching for "One Last Score" and couldn't find it. I had to google it.
After all, do IMDb want us to be able to find the films we are looking for, or not?

"If a dog stops to take a dump, he'll never catch the rabbit!" is a line in the movie..

just brilliant, as is the title of this quirky little movie..

isn't One Last Score just boring?

If... Dog... Rabbit

is so-ooooo much better!!!

Is this the worst movie title of all time or what?
