Behind the scenes
- The MPAA certificate number is 19884.
- With only 5 minutes and 8 seconds of footage (not counting the intro, title and outro sequences), Fast Buck Duck is the shortest Daffy Duck short made in the golden age of American animation.
- It's also the shortest Warner Bros. cartoon to be made in that era, timing 5 minutes and 45 seconds in total.
- This was the only short co-directed by Ted Bonnicksen, an animator for the Robert McKimson unit.
- Daffy's design in this short would later become the design that would be used in the cartoons from the DePatie–Freleng era, which were also directed by Robert McKimson.
