In a comedic rip-off Fantastic Voyage, Dennis Quaid is a pilot stuck mostly in the body of Martin Short, miniaturized and on the run from criminals! It's up to Quaid, Short and Meg Ryan as his girlfriend/reporter to stop the bad guys and restore Quaid to normal. Silly but fun per both Joe Dante and Steven Spielberg.

Trivia: The filmmakers used two different shopping malls for the scene where the doctor injects Tuck into Jack's rear. The opening scenes where the doctor runs in and heads for the elevator were shot in the Northridge Mall in the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles. The scene where he reaches the top and rams the syringe into Jack was filmed on the top floor of the Sherman Oaks Galleria, another mall several miles away.
Question: When Tuck is inside Jack he can't go through the heart - is this because Jack would have a heart attack or because Tuck would die?
Answer: I would say both probably.

Answer: Probably, but most likely it's because Jack's pod is fragile and wouldn't survive the shock wave heartbeats. The pod is experimental and built for scientific observation, not battle.
