Trivia

  • In the end, the Warners direct Mr. Director in Old Screamer, a parody of Old Yeller, and Illinois Smith, a parody of Indiana Jones.
  • The Warners say, "Be afraid...be very afraid...", which is a quote from the remake of The Fly.

  • The scene where the Warners are singing "Three Little Maids" for Mr. Director in the Chinese outfits is cut in international broadcasts (such as Boomerang) due to imitating Chinese people.
