Detailed Animal Action Report

Animal action is limited to one scene in which Danny and Jack have gone in search of Vavaldi. When they arrive at Vavaldi’s door, six Rottweilers are seen standing behind the pair. Benedict, Vavaldi’s assistant, answers the door, stating that the dogs are very well trained. With that, he snaps his fingers and the dogs form a pyramid, standing on top of one another. The dogs were actually standing on individual platforms that were placed to make it appear as if the dogs were standing on each other’s shoulders.
