Censorship

• When Cartoon Network aired this film, the part where Daffy offers "Billy Beer" with each purchase of a car was cut from their broadcast, possibly because it was a joke referring to alcohol drinks and beer. Some of the noose gags shown in "Claws for Alarm" were also excised.

Notes

• Daffy's scream as he got hit by the wrecking ball is Wile E. Coyote's scream taken from "To Beep or Not to Beep". The visual effect, referred to as eating the camera, is also part of this scene.
