Regina and Floyd are the main antagonists of the 1993 family sequel Beethoven's 2nd (more specifically Regina is the main antagonist while Floyd is the secondary). Regina is a selfish, vindictive, and nasty woman with an extremely ill temper while her boyfriend Floyd is an arrogant and greedy jerk. Their main goal is to steal Missy and the puppies to finalize her divorce with Brillo and kidnap the Newtons' dog Beethoven.
They were portrayed by Debi Mazar (who also portrayed Spice in Batman Forever and Jessica in Home Alone: The Holiday Heist) and the late Chris Penn (who also portrayed Eddie Pulaski in the video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Eddie Cabot in Reservoir Dogs, and Clive Cobb in Rush Hour).
Biography[]
Regina was a selfish, vindictive, and bad-tempered woman who sought out a large sum of money ($50,000) from her soon-to-be ex-husband, Brillo, and took custody of Missy, a female St Bernard, despite the fact that she had little care for her and only planned on giving Missy back to Brillo when the settlement was complete. However, due to a fateful meeting between a lovestruck Beethoven and Missy, a litter of puppies entered the mix.
Regina was angered by the puppies and claimed them all despite the fact she simply wished to dispose of them, even if it meant killing them. However, the three Newton children (who owned Beethoven) took it upon themselves to rescue the puppies and kept them safe at their home (hiding them from George). Regina was angered at the puppies' disappearance and sought out revenge.
Later in the film, Regina and her new boyfriend, Floyd, attend the same fair at the mountains as the Newtons happen to be at and manages to steal back the puppies (with everyone in the country fair ignoring the dognapping incident). However, Missy, alongside Beethoven, manages to escape into the wilderness not far from the fair and Regina and Floyd pursue, followed by the Newtons.
When the Newtons catch up with the pair, Floyd threatens to toss the puppies off a cliff and George tells him that things do not need to get ugly, at which point Floyd tells George that he has not seen ugly. With physical violence, Floyd pokes George in the chest with a stick, prompting Beethoven to ram it into Floyd's crotch as retaliation, causing him to lose balance. Regina grabs his hand and they both fall off the cliff.
Amazingly, the pair survived the fall, landing in a pool of mud - which proceeded to break off, tossing the two into a river and they are swept away into the distance as they argue over their plan (as a result to this, Regina changes her mind and yells at the Newtons, "Take your stinkin' puppies and stuff it!"). Later, it is revealed that Missy has been returned to Brillo and Regina has lost her claim - gaining none of the money she had sought. What happened to Floyd is unknown, but he presumably put his foot down and broke up with Regina as it shows that she treated him almost the same way she does with Missy.
It is assumed that Regina and Floyd were arrested after this for animal cruelty and their crimes against the Newtons. Regina and Floyd did not appear and mentioned in the other sequels, they are probably still in prison as the Newtons went for Europe, while Beethoven goes to George Newton's brother Richard Newton, who let him stay with him until their family reunion in California.
