For the monkey coming out of the guys butt, two capuchin monkeys were used for this part. Levi was the monkey used to get the close up reaction shots and Spencer was used for the moving shots. The special effects department built a fake body frame that was supported by bars and dressed it like the actor. A special padded platform was built inside the pants near the torn seam for the monkey to sit on. The seam in the back of the pants was torn and velcro sewn on to hold it together. A trainer placed Levi on the seat just before filming began and another trainer stood on the other side of the pants just off camera. When that trainer called to the monkey, it pulled the seam open and the trainer would hold up different toys to get different reactions. Levi was also the monkey who reacted to the fight in the alley by covering his mouth. The trainer put the monkey on its mark and stood off camera using hand signals to get the monkey to cover its mouth. Then three trainers stood around the monkey on the couch and tossed a tennis ball back and forth to get Levi to look in various directions. The actor ran down the alley and one trainer released the monkey who ran down the alley towards the actor but stopped when it reached the dumpster where another trainer was hiding with a treat. Spencer was later filmed jumping up and down on specially made padded platforms. This was inserted into the film later to make it appear as if the monkey was leaping back up into the rear end.
