Tom Hanks reveals his most-exhausting scene to shoot

• Tom Hanks revealed his most-exhausting scene to shoot.
• In a movie scene Tom had to put the dog in a collar or strap him.
• He said his “body was pounded to a pulp”.

The scene in “Turner and Hooch” where Tom Hanks had to put the dog in a collar or strap him into the car was the most “exhausting” to film.

The 66-year-old actor co-starred with Beasley the Dog in the 1989 American buddy police comedy film as the film’s namesake characters, and he has said his “body was pounded to a pulp” at the conclusion of taking multiple takes to secure the dog.

Asked what the most challenging shot to film was, he said: “The scene where I first get that dog in a collar, in a car, or attached to a car, it was … Well, just go back and look at it. It was the most physical, exhausting, time-consuming thing.

And because it could only happen in the real world, this is not a moment of CGI to it, there’s not a moment of a stuntman being involved in it. It was just me and Beasley, who was the dog who was playing Hooch at the time, and it was steady cams, multiple, multiple versions of it.”

The “Sleepless in Seattle” star still has “tactile memories” of how challenging it was more than three decades later.

Hanks added to Collider: “And the thing that was exhausting about it was, it was just me and that dog every step of the way. It happened in real-time, and it happened over a number of hours, and my body was beaten to a pulp by the time we got to the end, and it was also full energy the entire time.

I had to be petrified of this dog at the same time I was commanding that dog. I don’t know why. What year did we make that movie? I’ll tell you, it was 33 years ago, and yet I still have tactile memories of how hard that shot was to get.”
