Mad Dog and Glory

A mild‑mannered cop nicknamed “Mad Dog” is forced into a week‑long partnership with an alluring waitress, and must navigate his growing attraction while outwitting a ruthless mobster who wants her for himself.

“A cop who'd rather be an artist. A mobster who'd rather be a comic. And a woman who'd rather be anywhere but between them.”

Synopsis

Wayne Dobie is a reserved police officer whose calm and unassuming nature has led to the affectionate nickname "Mad Dog." After saving the life of Frank Milo, a crime boss with ambitions in stand-up comedy, Dobie is given a week in the company of Glory, a young and attractive waitress. Initially, both are hesitant about the arrangement, but they gradually develop feelings for each other. The relationship faces a complication when Milo insists on reclaiming Glory for himself.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 21

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

Box Office

1993 · Box office

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.6× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
