Behind the scenes
- The title is a pun of the historical event and its many films and novels, Mutiny on the Bounty.
- It is one of three nautical-themed shorts with Sam as a pirate, along with Buccaneer Bunny (1948) and Captain Hareblower (1954).
- In this cartoon, Bugs gets fooled himself by the Reverse Psychology when he argues with Sam about swabbing the deck.
- The footage and music where Sam rebuilds his ship on the docks is re-used twice (with the latter half [Sam putting boards over the hole] being reused once more before Bugs' final ploy), and the scene where is repaired ship is launched into the water is re-used once.
- Despite not being included in the movie, Bugs Bunny's 3rd Movie: 1001 Rabbit Tales, the scene from the beginning from this cartoon where one of Yosemite Sam's former crew escapes in terror while admitting his insanity to the audience is an homage in that film: Sultan Sam's previous royal storyteller runs out on him looking haggard, traumatized, disheveled, and half-insane because of the bratty Prince Abadaba's antics.
Errors
- When Sam reads the clue '...and five paces to the right and dig at spot marked X' and follows the directions, he is actually going to his left, but the directions refer to the right side of the movie screen.
