Detailed Animal Action Report

Julie has two little dogs, Luke and Duke. In one scene Marcus and Julie are trying to evade two assassins sent to kill them. Julie puts Luke in her purse and Marcus picks up Duke from the couch. They run to the cover of Marcus’ car for their getaway, with the murderers hot on their trail. This scene was shot in cuts. The dog who was placed in the purse was replaced with a fake dog when the actress is seen running with the purse. The dogs are also seen in several other scenes, lying on the couch, being held and being petted.

In another scene during a brawl between a crook and a cop, the crook flies backwards, hitting the side of an aquarium, breaking the glass. This causes the water and fish to spill out onto the floor. Foam padding was placed on the floor, out of camera range, to cushion the fish’s fall. The scene was accomplished in just one take and the fish were out of the water only a few seconds. When the scene was completed, all of the fish were returned unharmed to the pet shop where they were purchased.
