Trivia
First time an adversary ties Bugs to the railroad tracks instead of the other way round.

Goofs
Bugs describes a 'rabbit punch to the kidneys' - a rabbit punch is to the back of the neck or skull. The term is derived from a technique hunters used to kill rabbits quickly, by the use of a sharp chop to the back of the head where it meets the neck.

Definitely worth watching

Rabbit Punch reminded me very much of Bunny Hugged, except I think Rabbit Punch is better, the pacing is more secure here for one thing. The story may be nothing special, but what does compensate are some wonderful, colourful animation and a beautifully orchestrated music score. What also added to the sense of fun was some nice witty dialogue and clever visual gags. Not to mention a great performance from Bugs, voiced as ever with real exuberance by the one and only Mel Blanc, who immortalised these great cartoons and characters that shaped my childhood, and for that I am very grateful. Overall, a very good Bugs Bunny cartoon, that is definitely worth watching. 8/10 Bethany Cox
