Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAfter Wile E. Coyote takes his Acme Super Leg Muscle Supplement, he takes off in a blaze of fire. The road runner leaves smoke, the coyote leaves fire. The sounds for this fire effect, done by sound genius Treg Brown, were made using an old flame thrower, a motorcycle clip, and sounds from the airplanes in Dawn Patrol, all sped up a bit.
- GoofsWhen Coyote is preparing to seize the road runner in the rope loop trap, a truck comes past which isn't scaled correctly, it's very large when compared to coyote, and the camera isn't positioned low on the ground where that scale could be correct.
- Crazy creditsBurmese Tiger (Surprisibus! Surprisibus!)
- Alternate versionsThe film's closing gag, the Road Runner forming "That's all, folks!" from the smoke, is usually cut from TV prints.
- ConnectionsEdited into Adventures of the Road-Runner (1962)
Featured review
Good Road Runner cartoon
Chuck Jones as director, and that means it will be at least entertaining. The Coyote, or Eatibus Anythingus, chases a fly because he is very hungry. When he wants to eat an empty can the Road Runner, or Hot-Roddicus Supersonicus, runs by. Of course the Coyote prefers a Road Runner over an empty can, so the chase can start once again. This time he uses a steel wall that has to pop up, a motorcycle, birdseed on a bridge, vitamins for the muscles in the legs and a Burmese tiger trap.
Most of the gags work very good. The one on the bridge with the birdseed is terrific, the timing and use of the pop-up steel wall is perfect and the gag that involves the Burmese tiger trap, and the freeze frame directly after that (you will recognize the moment) are hilarious. A very good cartoon.
