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
What a great cartoon!
This old Merrie Melodies short transports one of our favorite cartoon heroes of all time, Bugs Bunny, into the world of professional boxing. The World Heavyweight Champion, known as the Champ, punched a Puny Boxer. Bugs criticized him for being a "dirty fightah," allowing him to be the new challenger, substituting for the Puny Boxer against the Champ. At last, Bugs survives after 110 rounds of boxing and wrestling combined. I liked the part where Bugs and the Champ took their boxing gloves off and made the sport look like wrestling. But in real life, you could be disqualified (DDQ) for that.
