URGENT - Trailer - Something very odd

Hey, this is urgent - on the DVD, under the Special Features, there is a Theatrical Trailer... and in one scene, it shows the big lady all pissed off at the two men, and they are sneaking up behind her, then she drops the purse (WITH THE BABY IN IT) on the ground ... nothing on the sidewalk - and the baby's head hits the sidewalk. Very, very, very distrubing. One should note that this doesn't happen in the movie itself.

I tried to snag a video of it, but I couldn't, so I have two pictures to help you understand better... it's the best I can do.

Anyone care to elaborate on this... if that was true, the baby's head would have cracked because the sidewalk is made of pure cement!

Sorry that the links aren't clickable... I know this is a pain, but stupid IMDB's forums wouldn't let me do this... but please take about 3 minutes out of your time and look at those pics.

Thanks.

Oh. Dang. That is disturbing.

I don't know anything about this for sure, but I'm sure that wasn't a real baby. If anything happened to the real baby, production probably would've been shut down post haste.

My guess is someone noticed that and how disturbing it was, and that's why it's not in the actual film. They must've either cut it or reshot that part entirely.

Very very disturbing I hae seeing babies get dropped on their heads. Its not a good thing

I'm not speaking from any level of expertise, but I would guess that the scene was filmed with a dummy baby.

I say this with some confidence because I'm sure we would have heard about this had it not been.

Yeah, I just saw the picture and it's definitely a toy. Besides, I know the woman's strong, but there's no way she could carry a baby that size in her bag and be swinging it along so lightly beside her.

But the baby was actually moving, in the "preview" before he was dropped to the ground.

One: There are dolls that can move like real babies.
Two: Filming angles and the way they film can make it look like a real baby was the one dropped instead of a fake one. It's called calling cut and changing the baby before filming that scene.

Hello,

I dont think you should worry. The baby must have been a dummy. Although, I can not be 100% sure, not good to trust people so much.

then again they used dummy/television trickery for the gorilla scenes

It wasn't a real baby...I'm sure of it. Cause of how she would have to drop her purse, they wouldn't have put a real baby in her purse if they knew she was going to drop it. But yeah definatly disturbing!

defintly fake but if they had that happen we problay see the baby skull bleed or in stitches maybe dead.

It's clearly a dummy. the same dummy was used in the nappy changing scene when the baby was first kidnapped and taken to the bad guys apartment. It's robotic.

it wa indeed an animatronic puppet baby designed and built by Rick Baker, who also built the gorilla. check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gOAvh4BDqM

....Are you kidding me? you can't honestly think that they used a real baby for this sequence, can you?? Those two kids they used for the film were more guarded, and under better protection than the President of the United States during the entire filming of this movie, that I guarantee you all.

It's still a totally weak moment in a preposterously bad movie, though. the only scene I actually liked in the whole gigantic mess was when the baby was being hidden from the two cops, and was grabbing and squeezing the guy's joint! Not horribly off-putting or disturbingly perverted in the least. Great family comedy! cock-comedy! brilliant! Thanks Mr. Hughes!!
