Quotes
Bugs Bunny: [to Mountie snowman] So, you call yourself a Mountie! Ha! You couldn't catch me! Why, you couldn't even catch a cold!
[Elmer sneaks up behind Bugs]
Bugs Bunny: You know what I'm gonna do to you? I'm gonna punch you right square in the nose!
[Whips round and clocks Elmer]

Crazy credits
One of only two WB shorts, along with "Baseball Bugs," to have Bugs (instead of Porky) pop out of the drum and say, "And that's the end!"

Alternate versions
The end of this cartoon has Bugs proclaiming his last wish in a chorus of "I Wish I Were in Dixie", which is followed by Bugs, Elmer Fudd and the Mounties all in blackface singing "Camptown Races". This scene is cut from television and home video. On the Cartoon Explosion DVD (and Cartoon Network), Bugs starts to sing "I Wish I Were in Dixie", and the picture quickly cuts (or dissolves on CN) to the end card. On TBS and TNT the scene is edited out differently: a fake "iris-out" after Bugs sings "I Wish I Were in Dixie"; or the footage of Bugs dancing was replayed as the sound from the end of the cartoon proceeded as normal. Here's a photo of the edited scene: http://looney.goldenagecartoons.com/ltcuts/freshhare.jpg

Bugs is at it again

Elmer Fudd is a mountie on Bugs Bunny hunt (what else, really), as Bugs is wanted for several 'crimes' in the area. He finally finds and cuffs him but somehow Bugs switches himself with a bomb so poor Elmer is blown up... yet again.

Several chases follow, and this is a very funny part. They both crash in and out snow-walls, leaving funny figures. See it for yourself, very amusing.

The ending is a bit weird, as Bugs feels sorry for Elmer and turns himself in. While standing for a death-squad he is asked if he has one last wish. He has, and it somehow includes dressing up and singing a song, but I didn't really get that.

Some nice chases and a fun cartoon: 7/10.
