Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991)
Animal Action
Animal action is minimal. In a flashback to his childhood, Freddy is in a classroom with children who taunt him. He reaches into a cage where a hamster plays and takes out the hamster holding it briefly before putting it down out of camera range. He then picks up a hammer and pounds the table where the hamster is supposed to be. This scene was shot in cuts and the hamster was not there when the table was being hammered. In another very brief scene, a dog runs across the street and pauses as he lifts his leg to urinate. Suddenly, the urine flow ignites and the dog continues to run. During filming, the dog was merely supposed to run from A to B. However, enroute from A to B, he improvised and paused to urinate, which was left on film. The flame was a special effect added in post-production and the dog was never near any fire.
