The Irishman
Detailed Animal Action Report
In the scene where we see an actor walk through a kitchen, grab a chicken by the throat before slicking his throat with a knife, animal wranglers placed many chickens on the set inside wooden crates. One of the chickens was placed in a harness designed by the wranglers. On action, the actor picked up the chicken by the the harness, which made it look like it was grabbed by its neck. Then, the actor took a blunt straight razor blade and simulated as if he sliced the chicken’s throat and walked two feet to the back of the room. On cut, the wrangler retrieved the chicken and placed it back in the crate.
