Trivia
Charles Gemora, despite the cumbersome gorilla suit that he had designed for himself, is remarkably agile and convincing. His comic performance might be considered a predecessor to the even more realistic proto humans in the opening scenes of Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) which set the benchmark for miming ape behavior.

Goofs
Spud's declaration, "Kids or no kids, grease or no grease, I'm going camping!" is dubbed over a scene shot at silent speed..

Quotes
Farina: C'mon! Get your mule. Let's get going!
Donald 'Spud': I guess I can't go.
Farina: How come?
Donald 'Spud': I gotta stay home and grease Wheezer!

Bear Shooters was one of the lesser of the talkie Our Gang shorts

This Hal Roach comedy short, Bear Shooters, is the ninety-eighth in the "Our Gang/Little Rascals" series and the tenth talkie. In this one, Spud can't go on a hunting trip with Jackie, Farina, and Chubby because he has to watch little brother Wheezer who has coughing jags. He tries to palm him off to sister Mary Ann who only agrees if she's allowed to go on the trip. So off they all go into the woods...I liked the gag of Wheezer accidentally getting Limburger cheese spread on him by Chubby and some of the reaction shots that entailed but otherwise, I thought this was one of the more underwhelming shorts in the series. The climax involving what happens at the end wasn't as hilarious as I had hoped so on that note, Bear Shooters is worth a look at least once.
