UPDATE: Of course, the post is meant to be humorous, no actual disrespect to Benji who, after all, spawned a bunch of sequels. And besides, as reader Mike notes in comments, relative to inflation and tickets sold, Benji probably kicked Jerry Lee’s butt. Actually, the only real ‘battle’ that mattered at the time was K-9 vs. Turner & Hootch. And that movie cleaned K-9’s clock.
