This movie is based upon a character created for The Chris Rock Show, which aired on the HBO cable network. Pootie Tang is a crime fighter and recording artist who speaks in an indecipherable language, but is a hero and role model to all children. He must battle the evil Dick Lecter, CEO of a huge corporation, who tries to get kids to smoke, drink, and eat fast food.

Pootie Tang
Detailed Animal Action Report
There were two scenes that featured a cow in a pasture. The cow grazes and looks around as Pootie talks to it. A fence surrounded the field in case the cow decided to wander. Two trainers accompanied the cow wearing a tether that the cow was conditioned to and comfortable wearing. One trainer placed the cow on a mark and a second trainer held the tether out of camera range using hand signals to get the cow to look in various directions.
