The Velocity of Gary (1998)

Directed by: Dan Ireland

Synopsis: A porn star named Valentino (Vincent D’Onofrio) shares complicated relationships between his girlfriend Mary (Salma Hayek) and boyfriend “Gary” (Thomas Jane).

Kitty Cameo: In one scene Valentino sees a flyer shoved under the door of his apartment. He pushes the flyer back under the door but it slips back in. He pushes the flyer back and again it returns. Valentino then tears up the flyer and pushes the pieces under the door. A moment later they fly back through (albeit many more and much smaller). Valentino then opens the door to find a white Persian cat running up the corridor. We’re not sure if the filmmakers were implying the cat was the culprit behind the flyer game but it seems unlikely since it was clear on the other side of the hall.
