Trivia

• Brendan Fraser did such a good job doing an impersonation of Taz that he was allowed to do the voice instead of Taz’s current voice actor Jim Cummings.
• In the spoof of the Psycho (1960) shower scene, Bugs pours a grey can of black Hershey’s chocolate syrup down the shower drain while the tune of “The Murder” is heard (with a little bit of the Merry-Go-Round Broke Down), a reference to the fact that Sir Alfred Hitchcock used Bosco’s chocolate syrup in the original scene to better simulate blood in black and white. Bosko was the first ever Looney Tunes character.
• During filming, Brendan Fraser was completely terrified at having to hit Bill Goldberg; Goldberg constantly told him to go ahead and do it, telling him, “It’s what I do for a living.”
• In the cartoon where Elmer Fudd shoots Bugs Bunny, when we see a clapperboard, the director is J. Dante (Joe Dante), the director of this movie.
