Rachel saw something out of the corner of her eye and let out a quick gasp. By the side of the staircase lurked a huge tiger. “It’s stuffed, Rachel.” Nick laughed. The tiger stood as if about to pounce, mouth open in a ferocious growl. “I’m sorry, it looked so real,” Rachel said, recovering herself.
In the movie of "Crazy Rich Asians," the stuffed tiger that appears was of course completely artificial and made in Thailand. But it looked so real that customs officials in Malaysia stopped it when was being transported into the country, refusing to believe it was fake. After all the proper documentation was provided, the tiger was finally allowed to proceed onto the film set, just in time for its close-up.
