Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBugs uses a prop to simulate a disaster for Crusher (here, a broken bone) and then shows up as someone who can help (a doctor)... but doesn't, really. This gag would be repeated a few years later in Bunny Hugged, with a slightly different angle.
- GoofsBugs describes a 'rabbit punch to the kidneys' - a rabbit punch is to the back of the neck or skull. The term is derived from a technique hunters used to kill rabbits quickly, by the use of a sharp chop to the back of the head where it meets the neck.

Bugs Bunny: Ladies and gentlemen. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we are unable to continue with this picture. And, eh, confidentially, that film didn't exactly break.

Featured review
Chuck Jones' apparent tribute to Friz Freleng
Avid fans may note the resemblance of this toon's plot to Freleng's Baseball Bunny (1946); i.e. Bugs berates big, hulking athlete(s) for playing dirty and boasts that he can defeat said athlete(s) and athlete(s) takes him up on it (actually, lots of toons borrowed plots and themes from other toons, but whatever). Chuck Jones was a big fan of Friz Freleng and didn't think he was in the same league (though I myself would beg to differ). I see this cartoon as either an attempt to place himself in that league or a tribute to recognize Freleng's ability. Whatever it is, it's a great cartoon. Those toons where Bugs defeats his adversary but not without taking a few lumps himself tend to be the best Bugs cartoons. This one's one of my favorites.
