On True Hollywood Story: Angelina Jolie, E! said that Jon would turn down movies because he was picky about the roles/script and because of that, they struggled financially. If he is so picky, why would he agree to do "Karate Dog"? I don't get it.
"Honey, I love you but you're scaring the crap out of me." Joe Dubois, 'Medium'
I think that Oscar on his mantle came to life and ran out of his house as soon as he saw this piece of trash...
I mean, think about it: Not only is he reduced to karate-fighting a dog...he has to LOSE!
"...you oughta know what you're gonna get in me/ just a little touch of star quality"
He turns down the role for Matt Hooper on Jaws, but does this.
BRILLIANT!

LOL I HAVE AN IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2181075/
I suspect Jon was picky early in his career in order to establish himself as a talented and versatile actor rather than rely on youthful good looks. The man has paid his dues and is entitled to do the occasional bit of silliness just for fun. I actually enjoyed the movie and mostly because of Voight's performance.
