Tom Hanks is an American treasure that has been making us laugh and cry in the cinema for more than 40 years, and has approached some quite challenging roles in his long career. He played Captain John H. Miller in the extensive epic of the Second World War of Steven Spielberg, “Salvador de Ryan” and portrayed a man stranded only on a desert island in the adventure film of Robert Zemeckis “Castaway”, so he has put himself in his time through difficult times on the screen. However, there is a scene from the beginning of his career that the actor states that it was from afar at the most difficult time in the cinema.
In an interview with Collider in 2023, when Hanks was promoting his drama “to Man Called Otto”, who presents a co -star of a cat, the actor revealed that the most exhausting scene to film in his entire career was mostly only him and a dog. The film was the 1989 “Turner & Hooch” comedy, where Hanks touches the detective of the tense researcher and tense Scott Turner, who is forced to relax a little when they give the custody of a French mastin (Dogue de Bordeaux) called Hooch, which witnessed a murder. “Turner & Hooch” is a kind of comedy classic of the 1980s, and was even used to help sell Hanks about the idea of expressing Woody in “Toy Story”, but it seems that it was a nightmare to do.
In the interview, Hanks shared that the scene in “Turner & Hooch”, where he has to try to discuss the big and scary dog in (or rather) that his car was the most difficult thing he ever filmed, saying: “It was the most physical, exhausting and that they consume a lot of time. And because it could only happen in the real world, this is not a moment of CGI The moment of a moment at the time there is a moment at the time of a moment at the time there is a moment of a moment at the time there is a moment at the time of a moment at the time there is a moment at the time of a moment at the time there is a moment at the time of a moment at the time there is a moment of a moment at the time there is a moment of a moment at the time there is a moment of Stuntman.
“We were only Beasley and Beasley, who was the dog that Hooch played at that time, and we were constant, multiple cameras, multiple versions of it. And what was exhausting was, it was only me and that dog every step of the road.
On the scene, it is only Hanks using two animal capture posts to navigate the dog, which is supposed to resist completely and possibly aggressive. While the dog actor seems to be very fun to play and loosen with posts and mothers, mastiffs are ridiculously strong and try to fight one for a full day of shooting beyond the sounds beyond the exhausting. When he adds to that the fact that Hanks had to act with his face and voice while physically maneuvering more than 100 pounds of dogs, the large amount of lobber involved, and the sunny outdoor shot, and it is not surprising that Hanks looks sweaty and tired at the time when he really got into his car and can rest for a moment.
While canine co -star can be difficult to work, the director of “Turner & Hooch”, Roger Spottiswoode, said Hanks and Dogs had a great working relationship. Hooch approaches a serious chaos in the movie and totally destroys the detective’s apartment, but there are times when you can see the connection between the skeins and the different dogs that Hooch played. Not only that, but I’m going to be honest: if that dog had wanted to throw Hanks into the water while fired the capture post scene, I could have done it quite easily.
“Turner & Hooch” is a great comedy of friends (with a totally annoying end) that only works as well as it does because Hanks is so locked up with the dogs that Hooch play that it seems that the relationship between their characters is real. With his fantastic child comedy in the adult “Big” in 1988 and “Turner & Hooch” in 1989, Hanks consolidated his place as a family comedy star for the ages. He simply took a serious training fighting a dog on a dock so that everything happens.
