Were there ANY animals in the BDM?

I didn't notice in the first viewing and on the second viewing I looked especially as they rode the Mule into the Bank Vault town. But I didn't see any animals. However, I did see the standard "animal action monitoring" notice from the American Humane Association in the credits.

As a fan, I would have liked to see at least one horse and it would have been appropriate to the technology level of the Bank Vault town. But, I suppose that would've screamed "space western" rather that "SF action-adventure". Just wondering, though.

I think I saw a big lizard thing in it. But I could be making that up.

Yeah, I distinctly remember one closeup of a huge disgusting lizard in a cage lapping up a chunk of raw meat. Was it on Beaumont?

It was indeed on Beaumonde. I believe it was a Komodo dragon. There may have been a few other amminals around in the same scene.

I don't remember any others, though there might have been some in the Haven sequences.

Yea. I think that's the only animal appeared in the film besides Jayne the man-ape gone wrong thing. lol

Ah! Now I remember the lizard. I wasn't sure if it wasn't CGI special effects or not.

But there weren't any horses or cows were there?

It was an iguana.

A shot of goldfish opens a scene. And fish, the last time I checked, count as "animals".
There may have been scenes shot with animals (horses, dogs, whatever) that never made it into the final cut of the BDM.
It doesn't matter.
If there are animals on the set, there will be reps from the Humane Society there, and the caveat will be on the screen.
Which is fine and dandy by me.

Yeah, I noticed a credit for "Wild Animal Trainer" or some such, and my husband & I puzzled and puzzled.

So, the goldfish, the iguana... were there chickens?
Doesn't Joss have a thing about chickens?
