Behind the scenes
- This is the first of three DePatie-Freleng-era Looney Tunes to use a few sound effects from Hanna-Barbera, the other two being Sugar and Spies and Daffy's Diner.
- The train tunnel gag is recycled from Hare-Less Wolf, with the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote in Bugs Bunny and Charles M. Wolf's roles, respectively.
- The closing animation of the Road Runner was re-used for interstitial segments of a 1979 German TV series for ZDF titled Die schnellste Maus von Mexiko, a re-dubbed version of The Merrie Melodies Show which focused primarily on Speedy Gonzales, Daffy Duck, and Sylvester, in addition to Wile E. and the Road Runner. These segments were re-animated to have the Road Runner actually speaking and briefly introduce his own cartoons with the Coyote.
Errors
- On a scene where Wile E. falls while having the bouncy coating and Road Runner is watching on a cliff, Wile E. falls directly through a part of the ground of the cliff instead of crashing onto it.
- After Wile E. had crashed through an Acme Garment truck, he started to head for a railroad tunnel. The Road Runner was standing right in front of the tunnel, but when he noticed Wile E. coming, his beep sounds were not added before he zoomed into the tunnel.
Legacy
- This is the final Road Runner cartoon that Rudy Larriva directed. Though he would direct three Daffy/Speedy cartoons that were outsourced from Format Films. The three shorts that he directed are Quacker Tracker, The Music Mice-tro, and The Spy Swatter.
