Looney Tunes: Back in Action | comment |
The second feature film attempt at reviving the Looney Tunes franchise since the fall of the original Warner Bros. cartoons, after Space Jam. Released in 2003, it is another good example of the Roger Rabbit Effect.Daffy Duck is fired from the Warner Bros. Studios and falls in the middle of a search for a mysterious Blue Monkey diamond that the secret agent father of a security guard is also trying to find before the Head of Acme does. Without Daffy, Bugs Bunny just can't do his job, and he heads out across the world with the VP of Comedy to retrieve him. Brendan Fraser and Jenna Elfman star as said security guard and VP, Joe Alaskey voices both Bugs and Daffy, and Steve Martin is a live-action villain who is the Head of the Acme Corporation that apparently invents all the malfunctioning devices known to cartoon-dom. Joe Dante directs. Eric Goldberg, who animated Aladdin's Genie, directs the animation.Rumor has it that Dante made this revival in response to his deep hatred for the previous film incarnation, calling this the "anti-Space Jam". Ironically, its working title was Spy Jam, and had an action-oriented, James Bond-like feel to it, instead of spoofing sports movies. It also was going to star Jackie Chan. The secret agent story remains, but Bugs and company are Animated Actors under contract at the Warner Studios lot, instead of otherworldly residents separate from our own. Rather than make all of them friends, they cast Elmer Fudd and the other supporting Tunes as enemies of Bugs and Daffy, several of which live around the world.Also worth noting that this is the last film to be scored by composer Jerry Goldsmith before he passed away after a long struggle with colon cancer (his illness actually kept him from completing the film, with the final reels scored by John Debney). It is also the final film appearance for Peter Graves. | |

Adam Westing: Besides playing D.J. Drake, Brendan Fraser also plays... Brendan Fraser. Who ends up being a complete Jerkass and punched in the face by D.J. (who, just as a reminder, is also played by Fraser). And is also Fraser's stuntman from the Mummy films. Confused yet? | |

Though they've probably retired, semi-retired or on vacation. Resolved to a degree with Elmer Fudd who acknowledges he was Bugs's costar and is secwetwy evil. | |

Mythology Gag | |
Looney Tunes: Back in Action / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Michael Jordan makes a brief cameo via archive footage from Space Jam. The flying car the heroes ride in stops in mid-air before it hits the ground because it ran out of gas, a reference to the topper gag from the Bugs Bunny cartoon Falling Hare. The original proposed climatic battle for the film (scrapped but exists as a DVD extra) has Bugs de-evolving back into his prototype design from "Porky's Hare Hunt". | |

Looney Tunes: Back in Action / int_26eb6287 | comment |
Funny Background Event: Usually Bugs and Daffy are making snarky visual commentary while the humans are freaking out. In the studio cafe scene during Bugs' discussion with Kate, Ralph Wolf is seen about to eat a (live) sheep sandwich but gets clobbered by Sam Sheepdog. Later in that same scene, the man from "One Froggy Evening" steals Michigan J. Frog and dashes away. While in the desert, Wile E. Coyote launches a missile at the main characters but it comes back towards him. Then we cut to the main characters, a small explosion is seen way in the background. | |

Lampshade Hanging: Lots of it. Mostly done by Kate, who will explain from a corporate standpoint, why they should allow this. After Sam slips on a banana peel, he angrily complains about "dadburn slapstick clichés!" and opens fire on the peel. In the crash-landing scene, the car runs out of gas about a foot off the ground and stops dead in midair. When Kate exclaims that gravity doesn't work like that, the cosmic force promptly reasserts itself and the car finishes its fall to the ground. | |

Old-Timey Cinema Countdown | |
Looney Tunes: Back in Action / int_32251696 | comment |
Old-Timey Cinema Countdown: "Mother" produces a VHS tape that explains the significance of the Blue Monkey Diamond. The tape begins with the cinematic countdown before actor Peter Graves, in an Affectionate Parody of his Jim Phelps role, narrates the mystic power of the Blue Monkey: it has the power to transmute people into monkeys, and vice versa. The comic subtext is that the US government can house an Elaborate Underground Base (Area 52) that still uses antiquated methods of counter-intelligence. | |

Real Award, Fictional Character: Bugs Bunny argues with the humorless Kate Houghton about rehiring Daffy Duck, and bolsters his argument with five Oscar statuettes of himself and a chunk of granite with his Walk of Fame star on it. For the record, five Warner Brothers cartoons have won an Oscar at the time of the film's release, but only one went to a Bugs Bunny cartoon: "Knighty Knight Bugs". Bugs does have a real star on the Walk of Fame, though. | |

Looney Tunes: Back in Action / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: Taken to extremes when D.J confronts 'Brendan Fraser' and punches him out for getting him fired. Timothy Dalton is D.J.'s father, who's a British secret agent. One of his films is titled Licence To Spy. Roger Corman plays a studio director who complains about a ruined take costing money. Corman is (in)famous for producing films on as little money as possible. In one scene, Shaggy criticizes Matthew Lillard on his performance in the live-action film for making him sound like a "total space cadet". | |

Boom in the Hand | |
Looney Tunes: Back in Action / int_3930e32b | comment |
Boom in the Hand: During the car chase in Vegas, one of Sam's goons lights a stick of dynamite to throw at the heroes. When the heroes veer out of the way, the goon refuses to throw the dynamite out of the window despite Sam's demands, so as to avoid hurting any innocent people. This results in the dynamite blowing them up. | |

Ignorant About Fire | |
Looney Tunes: Back in Action / int_3ac8ba6a | comment |
Ignorant About Fire: This movie has Daffy Duck argue with Bugs Bunny about their treatment at the studio. Daffy resents that Bugs is a Karmic Trickster, while Daffy is the Iron Butt Monkey recipient of Slapstick and Amusing Injuries. Bugs then points out that Daffy's tail is alight (from a campfire), to which Daffy states, "Exactly my point." Bugs then has to point out the flames before Daffy realizes that he's alight and in pain. | |

According to the Deleted Scenes featurette, Tweety originally was intended to actually take part in the film's original climax: DJ zaps him with the Blue Monkey, which turns him into a Pterodactyl, and he then eats the Chairman. Even more so the Road Runner, who despite appearing for just a cameo that consists of running past the screen, is prominently shown on the DVD cover. Heather Locklear was heavily promoted as one of the starring cast members (and also appears prominently on the DVD cover), but her appearance only consists of a few scenes during the Las Vegas segment. | |

Blaming the Tools: Discussed; when the chairman chews out Wile E. Coyote for failing at his assignment, he specifically warns him not to blame his failure on the equipment he was given, because it was ACME equipment and thus (at least according to Mr. Chairman) good. The Irony of it of course is that in this case, the complaints regarding the equipment are actually totally justified. | |

Cruel Coyotes: Wile E. Coyote works for the film's main villain, the Chairman of Acme.

Trying to catch the Road Runner out of hunger is one thing, but attempting to murder innocent people for the sake of following his boss' orders is another. | |

Pathetic Drooping Weapon: "Secretly evil" Elmer Fudd pursues Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck through a series of painting in the Louvre. The chase begins in Georges Seurat's A Sunday on la Grande Jatte, moves to Edvard Munch's The Scream, and continues to Salvador Dali's Persistence of Memory. There, the characters find themselves seeming to melt as they run. Elmer levels his shotgun at the fleeing duo, and warns "Stop or I'll fire!" accompanied by rebus illustrations. Elmer's gun also begins to sag in keeping with the medium, so he props up the barrels with a crutch from The Burning Giraffe. Pulling the trigger, Elmer discharges two bullets that vomit from the muzzle, then fall to the ground after a foot of travel. | |

Beware the Silly Ones: This applies to all of the toons, really, but mostly the toons who align with the Acme Corp., like Yosemite Sam, Elmer Fudd, Wile E. Coyote, and Marvin the Martian. Shaggy and Scooby in their Cameo criticize Matthew Lillard's performance as the former in the live action Scooby-Doo movie and threaten him if he messes up further in the sequel. The Chairman of Acme Corp. may be an immature, over-the-top executive, but he's still a dangerous totalitarian egomaniac perfectly willing to kill or torture others to further his goals. | |

George Jetson Job Security: Apparently, Daffy getting fired is a regular occurrence at the studio. Bugs speaks nonchalantly to Kate about how he's certain he'll be back in no time, and even phones Daffy to tell him that he's figured out how to get him his job back "with less of a pay cut than usual". | |

Jerkass Ball: Possibly justified due to the live-action Scooby-Doo film's negative reception from critics. Shaggy and Scooby-Doo are not happy with Matthew Lillard's portrayal as the former in the live-action film and threaten him if the screws up again in the sequel. | |

Unpopular Popular Character | |
Looney Tunes: Back in Action / int_7417b04b | comment |
Unpopular Popular Character: invoked An underlying theme of the movie is Daffy's designated Butt-Monkey status and unappreciated role in comparison to Bugs Bunny. The movie outright lampshades the fact that despite his unpopularity, he is out and out pivotal to the dynamic of the characters, and Kate even frustratedly points out how no one and yet everyone can love him at the same time. This is what leads to the page quote: while Daffy has to endure pain to get laughs, Bugs just has to 'munch on a carrot' to be effortlessly lovable. Whether intentional or not, after this movie was released, Warner Bros. started to focus a LOT more on Daffy rather than just on Bugs. Besides merchandising, he got his own series, and takes much of the focus in The Looney Tunes Show. Guess Bugs really did speak up to those Warner Brothers on Daffy's behalf... | |

Full-Body Disguise: Played with in the jungle scene. Granny, Sylvester and Tweety seem to have helped our heroes find the diamond, only for Granny to unzip her full-body suit to reveal the ACME Chairman, and Sylvester to actually be Mr. Smith, and Tweety to be the Tasmanian Devil. Then the Chairman unzips his body suit to reveal Damian, whom then unzips once again to reveal Michael Jordan. (Daffy lampshades this, naturally). Then under the Michael Jordan suit is the real Chairman once again. And after our heroes and the Chairman are transported back to ACME, Mr. Smith stays behind with Taz and unzips his body suit to reveal a Tasmanian She-Devil! | |

Looney Tunes: Back in Action / int_75979171 | comment |
The Cuckoolander Was Right: When Daffy learns that DJ's father is Damian Drake, the renowned actor playing a spy, he goes on to babble on that Damian is really a spy who portrays himself as an actor playing a spy. Then he assumes that the entire house is filled with spy gadgets and DJ is protected by an invisible forcefield, throwing at him an apple to prove this. The apple does hit DJ, but Daffy takes it as proof of the apple being forcefield-proof. Cue to DJ scolding Daffy for his "delusional ranting" right before Damian calls him through a painting and is proven to be a spy. | |

Without a driver, the Batmobile ends up driving by itself and crashing into the standing of the Warner Bros. water tower making it fall to the ground and getting destroyed and thus getting D.J. fired. | |

Duck Season, Rabbit Season | |
Looney Tunes: Back in Action / int_867f06de | comment |
Duck Season, Rabbit Season: Both played straight at the beginning, and subverted later on after Daffy's been fired from Warner Bros. One would think this evidently leads to The End of the World as We Know It, since it ends Bugs' historic survival instinct (besides cross-dressing, which he was discouraged from doing anymore due to how modern audiences perceive the act). He really milks his injuries for all their worth in front of the big executives too. Like all classic cartoons, he gets better by the next shot. At the end, Daffy thinks Bugs is attempting this when he tells the others that Daffy was the real hero. | |

Looney Tunes: Back in Action / int_912b24c4 | comment |
Art Shift: Shaggy and Scooby-Doo have a short cameo threatening bodily harm to Matthew Lillard in the studio cafeteria after seeing his performance of the former in the live-action film. They are rendered in the same art style as the Scooby-Doo cartoons. The Louvre chase scene has Elmer chasing Bugs and Daffy through each and every painting in the hallway, taking on each of their styles. Bugs naturally exploits this by tricking Elmer into assuming a Pointillist style and then blowing him away with a portable fan. The relayed Civil Defense video tape has animated segments describing the villain's intent, and is animated in a more limited UPA style. And of course, there is the intro: we start with a scene animated in a simple, flat style that's clearly trying to replicate the original shorts, and then cut to the movie proper, which of course is mostly live-action as well as having much more intricately shaded animation. | |

Heel Realization: Bugs has always let his popularity over Daffy get to his head and acts like he’s better than his feathered foil, not blinking an eye when the latter gets fired and expecting him to come crawling back at the first offer he gets. It’s not until he’s alone with Daffy that they really talk, and Daffy laments that he is always the Butt-Monkey who has to endure Amusing Injuries to get laughs, while all Bugs has to do is “munch on a carrot, and people love [him].� Bugs then realizes what kind of hell Daffy has to go through just to obtain half of what Bugs gets handed to him on a silver platter, and the guilt is written all over his face. | |

Hit Me, Dammit!: Not "hit me" in the sense of punching, but Yosemite Sam and D.J are playing blackjack at a casino. Yosemite Sam keeps asking the dealer, Foghorn Leghorn, to "hit me" (play a card) and gets a smack on the head with a plank because it's not his turn. | |

Self-Botched Catchphrase | |
Looney Tunes: Back in Action / int_9be66da | comment |
Self-Botched Catchphrase: It forms a Brick Joke, with Porky Pig complaining about the studio telling him to fix his stutter in the first few minutes of the movie. At the end, he stutters so much he can't even get his usual "That's all, folks!" out, even as the lights go off around him. He ends up just having to grimace and say "Go home, folks." | |

Looney Tunes: Back in Action / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: There are several moments where Kate and DJ are talking about tropes or plot developments as the movie goes along. While they are clearly Breaking the Fourth Wall and hanging lampshades on every part of the set, it's almost as if they know they're in a movie. Turns out, after dealing with the ACME chairman, they actually are acting in a movie, the filming of which only breaks after Bugs and Daffy return from dealing with the Blue Monkey space laser. After the spy car is about to crash into a wall, Daffy yelps out “mother� as he typically does when faced with a threatening situation. The spy car then says “taking you to Mother� before flying the group off. They end up in a desert after the car falls and crashes where they later come across Area 52 and meet the leading researcher called “Mother.� | |

French Accordion: When the scene shifts from Area 52 in the United States to Paris, France, the soundtrack picks up an accordion riff.

Take That! | |
Looney Tunes: Back in Action / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: Porky and Speedy have some grievances in the cafeteria... During the same scene, Scooby and Shaggy chastise Matthew Lillard over his performance in Scooby-Doo. Also, during Mr. Chairman's succession of unmaskings, one of the disguises is... Michael Jordan. Which is quickly discarded. Ron Perlman's character (the VP who gets devoured by Taz) is a not-too subtle caricature of Ted Turner. Given the directors' desire to make an "anti-Space Jam", it seems probable that Kate's plan to team Bugs up with a "hot female co-star" in order to "reposition his brand identity" was intended as a swipe at that film's Lola Bunny. The character Kate Houghton was based on a producer named Dalisa Cooper Cohen, one of the producers on Quest for Camelot. She is portrayed as a person who doesn't know what she's doing and makes controversial changes to animated characters, specifically Bugs Bunny and to a lesser extent Daffy. | |

Looney Tunes: Back in Action / int_b6db5695 | comment |
Political Overcorrectness: In the Warner Bros. dining area, Porky and Speedy Gonzales are seen commiserating that they can't find work. Speedy, because he's been branded a stereotype to Mexicans and Latinos; Porky, because his stuttering is considered offensive to those with speech impediments. Over at the next table, Bugs and Kate struggle to come up with a good film idea without Daffy since most of Bug's usual comedy shticks, like cross-dressing, are now frowned upon. It's an uphill struggle, to say the least. | |

When Daffy complains about being depicted as a Butt-Monkey to Bugs again and demands to be treated with respect, he's immediately fired and chased off the lot. The resulting film ends up falling apart because of his absence and the executives order Kate to go find him and bring him back within a week, or she's also fired. | |

Shout-Out | |
Looney Tunes: Back in Action / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: "Hey, whadda ya know? I found Nemo!" Daffy's "Guess who?" when popping out of D.J.'s backpack at the Drake residence is a subtle nod to Woody Woodpecker's "Guess who?" (with Mel Blanc's voice) at the beginning of every Woodpecker short in its original series. Bugs recreates the iconic shower murder scene from Psycho, complete with a few drops of chocolate syrup in the water to suggest blood (not as effective in color). There's a scene in the casino of every Looney Tunes dog character playing poker. There are also a couple of Daleks, along with an army of 1950's b-movie aliens and Robby the Robot, in Area 52. During the climax, after Marvin is sucked out of his own spaceship, Bugs and Daffy think that they've lost him. Unbeknownst to them, Marvin has mysteriously clung to the underside of their spaceship. Bugs battles Marvin with a lightsaber and Marvin mentions the "Dark Side", and Bugs studies a The Force for Dummies book. There is a side-view of Madeline in the France act.

Looney Tunes: Back in Action / int_cd8709e | comment |
Pendulum of Death: In the film's climax, the Chairman's Death Trap for DJ's father includes one of these on top of a Train of Death, crates of TNT, and a 2-ton anvil. However, he decides that the Pendulum of Doom is overkill and orders Wile E. Coyote to remove it. | |

Looney Tunes: Back in Action / int_d293ed9b | comment |
The sheer number of cameos from even the most obscure of Tunes characters demonstrates this—Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog eat lunch together in the background of the cafe, the Three Bears are vacationing in France, and damn near every single canine character turns up during the casino scene, playing poker. | |

The End of the World as We Know It | |
Looney Tunes: Back in Action / int_d71d51fd | comment |
One would think this evidently leads to The End of the World as We Know It, since it ends Bugs' historic survival instinct (besides cross-dressing, which he was discouraged from doing anymore due to how modern audiences perceive the act). He really milks his injuries for all their worth in front of the big executives too. Like all classic cartoons, he gets better by the next shot. | |

Looney Tunes: Back in Action / int_da1b8dc1 | comment |
Afraid of Clowns: A Deleted Scene has Daffy pitch a film idea to the studio that depicts Elmer as an insane supervillain. The idea is rejected due to Elmer seemingly dying, but Daffy insists he returns even more insane than before. Elmer doesn't like the idea at all because he feels he comes off as a crazy clown, stating that he's afraid of clowns before running off crying. | |

Fake-Out Opening | |
Looney Tunes: Back in Action / int_da1f9864 | comment |
Fakeout Opening: The film starts like with a homage to the Duck Season, Rabbit Season trilogy, only to reveal that it's Daffy reading his script, venting his frustration at the formula of "Daffy gets blasted." The deleted scenes had a very different opening for the film, which features Daffy as a superhero fighting an evil Elmer Fudd and his organ-operated robot-thingy (an opening not so different from Toy Story 3)—only to reveal that it's Daffy trying to pitch a film idea, with the Warner Bros. complaining that he killed Elmer in the first five minutes. Elmer himself doesn't want to be a bad guy and runs off crying at the premise. | |

Shown Their Work | |
Looney Tunes: Back in Action / int_ffad4e9f | comment |
Shown Their Work: When Elmer confronts the heroes at gunpoint, Bugs asks, "Em, what gives, Doc? We made 35 pictures together!" If you count only the theatrical shorts (not any made-for TV shorts such as "Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers"), 35 is the amount of cartoons Bugs and Elmer appeared in together. The sheer number of cameos from even the most obscure of Tunes characters demonstrates this—Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog eat lunch together in the background of the cafe, the Three Bears are vacationing in France, and damn near every single canine character turns up during the casino scene, playing poker. Bugs pulls out five Oscar statuettes and a chunk of granite from the Hollywood Walk of Fame with his name on it during his conversation with Kate at the cafe. Five is in fact the correct number of Looney Tunes shorts that have won Academy Awards at the time of the film's release (although Bugs was in only one of them), and he does in fact have a star on the HWOF. | |
