Right. Numbers have been problems for other riddles, since they don't really have synonyms. So I was looking for another way to do it.

It occurred to me that film series titles actually define the number by following it with an episode title. This is like the way mathematicians define a variable you can't solve for. So I replaced "4" with "N, where N is" like in an equation. This seemed legit because no actual movie title includes "[blank], where [blank] is" wording.

Breakin' N, where N is Electric Boogaloo
For all N, Electric Boogaloo = 2
Therefore, N=2

Google 'dog toy', and you'll see why it's King Kong.

As it happens, until I did that, I didn't know about that brand, either.

Fertile Ground?

If so,

Spotty seeing-eye dogs from Rome, without the verb suffix.

Good, because FCW's doesn't have a verb to remove the suffix from, so I don't know where that's going.

How about...
Catalyst?
Garden State?
The Happening?
Substrate: the Movie?

...Anyhoo

Kiss of death?

Okay, I see where you're coming from. The suffix -ing is used to form the present participle, but the p.p. can be used as a noun ("gerund") or as an adjective modifier. It's not acting as a verb in that case, as you say, but taking the -ing off "seeing" isn't helping me any. Italian CI Hounds?? Romantic Dalmatians??

Doc is right about Kiss Me Deadly, tho, so it's his turn anyway.

Oh good lord.

Anyway, I am against Roman numerals. We didn't fight World War 2 and defeat the Roman Empire for nothing.
