Detailed Animal Action Report
In the scene where the actors run into the gym showers and see a mouse crawling around, prior to filming the wranglers transported four mice to set. One of the wranglers removed a mouse from the cage and held placed it on tabletop in the shower set. The other wrangler sat underneath the set near the fake drain. The fake drain was a hole along the ‘shower wall’ approximately three feet deep. On action, the wrangler used a buzzer to cue the mouse.
In the scene when the actor walks out of the building and stops to pet the dog on his way out, the dog and actor were introduced to each other prior to filming the scene.
Due to limited resources, American Humane Association did not monitor some of the dog and hamster action.
