When he goes crazy,
that's the Chinese leopard.

:18:03
The way they made him go crazy
:18:05
is they put air tubes
along the baseboard of the room

:18:09
and they would shoot compressed air.
:18:11
These tubes would spin
and made a very high-pitched sound

:18:15
and that sound would
drive these animals crazy.

:18:19
That's how they would aggravate them
and made them active.

:18:24
The tendency of a big cat
in a situation like this

:18:29
is to go catatonic,
:18:32
just get in a corner and hide.
:18:36
That won't do, so you need some device
to aggravate them.

:18:41
It's the whistling sound that does it.
:18:51
The nice thing about
working with animals

:18:56
is that you don't have to worry about
talking to their agents

:19:00
or getting them out of their trailer.
:19:02
When they wanna work, they work,
when they don't, they don't.

:19:09
This is not New Orleans,
:19:12
looking over John's shoulder,
this is again the stage.

:19:17
We had to have control over that cat.
:19:24
This is the Chinese leopard
and this was a crazy animal.

:19:33
He could not be trained
or instructed in any way.

:19:36
The earlier ones
were mountain lions dyed black

:19:40
cos they could go from place to place.
:19:43
But mountain lions don't have
the same face and don't have...

:19:48
That's...
:19:52
That's a mountain lion and now
we're back with the Chinese leopard,

:19:57
who goes really crazy.
