Cliffhanger (1993)
Animal Action
n one scene as Gabe and Jesse are trying to escape from the killers, they enter a cave full of bats. Julie screams and the bats all take off, flying all around the cave and exiting. One of the bats flies down and bites Gabe on the hand. Gabe shakes his hand from side to side until the bat releases his grip, falling out of camera view. In another scene a young boy has parachuted off of a cliff, but not before being shot in the back by one of Quailan’s men. He lands precariously stuck in a group of trees, hanging a few feet from the ground. A pack of wolves find the boy and see there chance for an quick meal. The wolves mill around the half dead boy, standing on their hind legs trying to get at the boy’s feet. Frank comes along and sees the wolves. He fires a shot into the sky, scaring the wolves away. As one of Quailan’s men is tracking Gabe, who has one of the cases of money with an electronic strap, the tracking devise goes wild and we discover that Gabe has removed the electronic collar from the case and placed on a rabbit. The rabbit hops up to the top of the little null where the man proceeds to shoot at the rabbit. When the air clears we see the rabbit hop back up to the top of the null. Other animal action consisted of a man petting his dog in a background scene and Jesse at her stable brushing her horse with two other horses present in the background.
