Solved! He's out to kill the men who killed his dog

Hint: The dog's death isn't the main character's motive

u/PrincessBonkers628 20h ago

Okay I had to Google it in order to remember what movie it was. But Kevin Costner did this kind of movie in the '80s called Revenge. Is that it?

8

u/classiclyme 156,604 20h ago

Revenge isn't his motive, but thank you for reminding me of that movie. Time for a rewatch I think

u/testawayacct Submitted 1, Solved 0 20h ago

Are you also thinking of the Gayboy Berserker avenging his twink?

And before the tsunami of complaints, the bad guy refers to those goons as "my gayboy berserkers."

2

u/OmegaKarnov 2,52 20h ago

Yeah, the gayboy berserkers on one side, and the smegma crazies on the other. I'm thinking about the scene with the crashed interceptor v8.

Red (2008)

1

u/classiclyme 156,604 19h ago

Did any of those characters even have a dog?

3

u/HavenChronicles 19h ago

Literally the main characters whole reason for going to kill people is cuz they killed his dog

3

u/classiclyme 156,604 19h ago

I don't remember that at all. Guess it's time for a rewatch

7

u/HavenChronicles 19h ago

You might be mixing it up with Red(2010) which is an unrelated movie

3

u/classiclyme 156,604 19h ago

Hahaha yes, you read my mind!

u/HavenChronicles 19h ago

Half the reason I chose that answer lol

u/Ancient_Solution_420 46,20 19h ago

There are two movies called Red. The one with the old agents. And the one with the old man avenging his dog.

5

u/classiclyme 156,604 19h ago

Sorry, I was confusing it with the Bruce Willis movie RED from 2010.

My bad.

Oh right, I'd forgotten that little twist. Explains why everyone keeps guessing that movie.

Our guy has both a son and a dog, but only the dog died

The dog dies of natural causes but the rest of the hints are really making me think of the odyssey

4

u/classiclyme 156,604 9h ago

The dog was dying because of a combination of old age and mistreatment by the suitors, so they're partly to blame.

Also, this is the right answer.
