An Animal Was Fatally Harmed In The Making of This Movie


When TT and Jeffries run off the road and into the haystack, there are geese in front of them. clearly they ran over at least one, killing it.

You're right - I spotted it too. When watching the film in PAL format it occurs 97 minutes in. The car's left front wheel goes straight over one poor bird's neck, clearly killing it & right over another one, whose survival looked doubtful. Disgusting.

I missed that bit. I was thinking to myself what an enjoyable film. But an incident like that has put me off seeing it again.

I would have turned it off immediately too if I had seen it. But I was busy during some parts of the film. So I must have got distracted elsewhere at that point.
