Suburban Commando (1991)

Several fake animals are used in this picture. When Shep tries to assist a little girl by getting her cat out of a tree, Shep pulls down the tree branch to retrieve the cat, discovers that this is not the little girl’s cat, and lets go of the branch, causing the cat to fly through the air. This was done in cuts. You see the real cat sitting in the tree being supported underneath (out of camera view). Then you see the fake cat flying through the air. In another scene you see a woman holding two poodles during a bank robbery where everyone in the bank has been frozen with an alien instrument. These animals were also fake. In a scene where Shep finds a muzzled dog sitting in a truck, it appears that he is sitting in a closed truck in the hot sun. In reality the dog was just placed into position in the truck by the trainer and instructed to bark. He was never in danger of being overheated.
