Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIt was during production of this cartoon that Bugs Bunny's name originated. Designer Charles Thorson redesigned the rabbit character and labeled the model sheet "Bug's Bunny," after co-director Ben Hardaway's nickname, Bugs.
- GoofsThe human at the start of the cartoon grabs his double barrel shotgun. When he shoots at Bugs Bunny, he fires his shotgun in quick succession 7 or 8 times without reloading. He would have only been able to fire twice and then would have had to reload in order to have shot twice more, and so on. As there were self loading semi automatic shotguns at the time, the cartoonist could have easily this shotgun one barrel (and inferred that it was such a self loading semi automatic shotgun). Then it would not have been very conceivable to have had the hunter fire 7 to 8 times without reloading.
- Quotes
[impersonating a motorcycle cop]
Rabbit: Going a little fast, weren't ya, buddy? You're on the wrong side of the street, too.
[Sniffs]
Rabbit: Hmm. Intoxicated. Let's see your driver's license. Just as I thought, haven't got one. You know what this'll cost you? Thirty days... hath September, April, June, and Montana. All the rest have cold weather, except in the summer, which isn't often.

Featured review
food crisis
The current food crisis (or whatever to call it) in the world makes the otherwise goofy "Hare-um Scare-um" rather relevant. When a hunter can't buy food at the store, he and his dog go hunting. Needless to say, they come across a manic rabbit who makes their lives a living hell. Talking like Woody Woodpecker and behaving like Daffy Duck, this hare is a really wacky one! As the anonymous bunny affirms: "You don't have to be crazy to do this...but it sure helps!" Obviously, this cartoon holds a special historical significance as one of four cartoons (the others were "Porky's Hare Hunt", "Prest-o Change-o" and "Elmer's Candid Camera") starring the rabbit who eventually morphed into Bugs Bunny. Even if you don't know that the leporid here would soon become a street-smart, wise-cracking dude with a Brooklyn-Bronx accent, the cartoon is still a total hoot. But the fact that this nutty rabbit soon evolved into the Groucho Marx of rabbits just goes to show the importance (not to mention the hilarity) of this cartoon, and Mel Blanc's talent with voices. I truly recommend it.
PS: director Cal Dalton ran Friz Freleng's unit from 1937-1939. Freleng had moved to MGM for a more lucrative job, and so Cal Dalton and Ben Hardaway took over his unit. When MGM canceled the series that Freleng had been directing, Warner Bros. rehired him ("You Ought to Be in Pictures" loosely alluded to his experience).
