Errors
Everlasting Influence
- The human cannonball and wrecking ball scenes would be used in The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie.
- Wile E.'s ending poses when he sticks his tongue out and beeps like the Road Runner were reused in Road Runner's Death Valley Rally.
- Wile E.'s Cannonball Daredevil persona would be used in Looney Tunes: World of Mayhem.
