Behind the scenes

 * The title is a play on the expression "fast and furious".
 * The cartoons has the first appearances of Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner, though the former was only referred to as "the Coyote."
 * It also sets the template that would become synonymous in the pair's series of shorts, in which Wile E. attempts to catch the Road Runner through many traps, plans and products.
 * The mock species names for Wile E. (Carnivorous Vulgaris) and Road Runner (Accelleratii Incredibus) make a debut in this short.
 * The short uses music the Bedřich Smetana opera The Bartered Bride, specifically Dance of the Comedians.

Everlasting Influence

 * Wile E. gets his official name in "Operation: Rabbit"
