Trivia:
The sounds of the crowd were recorded from a real bull-fighting crowd in Barcelona, France.See more »
Goofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When Bugs was writing his will, we see the top of the paper turned over so that the audience can read it from left to right (not upside-down). This means that the heading itself is written upside-down. The reason the word WILL was written right-side up, as Bugs was past page one, is so that all people, especially children, could know what was being written, for both children and adults.See more »

Bugs Bunny:Hmm, I knew I should've taken that left turn at Albuquerque. Oh well, I'll just ask this gent in the fancy knickerbockers. Eh, I beg your par...
[the matador runs right past Bugs; Bugs chases him]
Bugs Bunny:Eh, pardon me, sir, but could you direct me to the shortest route to the Coachella Valley and the big carrot festival therein?

Toonic Perfection, 1 November 2003
Author: Raymond Tucker from South of the Border

I could watch this one a hundred times over and still laugh myself to tears. It is incredibly funny, perfectly timed and just when you expect it to become formulaic, the Jones crew start to throw in some comical curveballs (which I refuse to spoil here) My personal favorite Bugs Bunny short and one of the jewels of the WB catalog.
