Talk:Looney Tunes: Back in Action

message: It currently says in this article that this was the last movie John Powell scored before his death. It's actually the last movie that Jerry Goldsmith scored.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.94.73.152 (talk) 21:44, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Wrong Composer

message: My main motivation for creating this page was to list the incredible number of hilarious cultural references that Larry Doyle and company sprinkle throughout the movie. I realize that rather overbalances the article, but it seemed silly to create an article about the movie with only a paragraph or two like most current movie articles, and then create a separate article many times its length to list the riffs. I invite others to elaborate on the movie itself as desired in order to provide more balance. -- Jeff Q 05:03, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Cultural riffs

message: I mentioned that "in the frenetic scene where Bugs, Daffy, and Elmer dash in and out of various doors in a hallway, they appear in many characterizations of famous art works." Unfortunately, I am rather ignorant on this subject and could not identify 14 of the 15 quickie characterizations. (I only recognized number 3 — Bugs as "Whistler's Mother". I suspect that Bugs' rather wraith-like appearance in number 8 was an Edward Gorey riff.) I invite any serious art students to review the movie and provide a quick list of each characterization. — Jeff Q 22:12, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

message: I haven't seen this movie, and probably won't anytime soon. (Not to say I don't like Looney Tunes; I grew up on them!) Could someone who's seen the movie please update Mona Lisa#Role in popular culture, describing exactly what they did to her? :-) Thanks, • Benc • 10:03, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)

message: There really needs to be more about the movie summary in this article; all the references are fine but they're ultimately dominating the article. -- Wack'd About Wiki 07:22, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: As the guy who created this article and added most of the cultural references, I heartily agree (see Cultural riffs above). The great thing about Wikipedia is that anyone can contribute whatever information they have, so nobody has to do the whole job themselves. It was my hope that folks would be sufficiently concerned about the imbalance to jump in and add the summary. I'm rather surprised that no one has done so in nearly a year! — Jeff Q (talk) 09:54, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Movie summary 

message: Although, she does not make any 'official' appearance in the movie, she can be seen in many background posters with either by herself, with Bugs Bunny, or with both Bugs and Daffy.
(See screen-shots of the scenes in question from the movie.)
Here, we will quote what I believe is an indirect reference to the whole Lola Bunny controversy:

message: I doubt that the Nemo thing's the exact thing. I saw that the fish was red (in the DVD anyway), and I don't think it had three stripes on it. So I highly doubt that it's a proper reference. --Addict 2006 22:46, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Posted by "JS" [I used to go as "JC", which explains why that's on this page just a few remarks above this one] on December 27, 2006, answering WAVY 10's question: Actually, I think they already have. I've seen this Duck Dodgers short called Attack of the Drones or something like that on the Internet, although I can't remember where. Also, they've just recently released, on video and television, a pleasant 45-minute long feature called Bah Humduck! A Looney Tunes Christmas Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la! It was great, by the way. Also, I have spotted an error in the article for which this talk page has been supplied. In the CULTURAL REFERENCES--ART REFERENCES part of the article, it states that Elmer, Bugs, and Daffy dash in and out of doors in the hallway, appearing in various homages to works of art. Actually, I believe they jump out of actually paintings in the Louvre hallway, not doors. Am I correct?
Yeah, I saw "Bah-Humduck". It was okay, not (obviously) on par with the original or some of the special shorts from the early '90s, but it's a start.

message: ::* An alternate ending for the movie involves DJ in Africa who has turned his dad into a monkey so he can escape from Mr. Smith,  which he does. Mr. Chairman complains, telling Mr. Smith to throw Daffy Duck into a vat of lava. DJ then throws the Blue Monkey at Mr. Smith's head, which doesn't work, while Kate picks up the diamond and accidentally turns Bugs into one of his very early characters, Happy Rabbit (Happy's first appearance since Elmer's Candid Camera). Mr. Smith approaches Kate, then she throws the diamond to DJ, only to be thrown to Mr. Chairman. Afterwards, Daffy manages to steal the diamond from Mr. Chairman, but then, Mr. Smith starts approaching him, to which he becomes frantic. He tries to zap him with the diamond, but only succeeds in turning Kate in a cavewoman, while turning Bugs from Happy Rabbit to Prehistoric Bugs. Then Daffy tries to fix the problem, only to turn himself into an egg with two feet. DJ then grabs the Monkey, but Mr. Smith grabs him by the neck, but his whistle-watch tells him to take a break. Mr. Chairman commands him to return, but Smith merely says "Take it up with the Teamsters." DJ now is about to zap Mr. Chairman, but he says by zapping him, he will only succeed in making him smarter. Then, he pulls out a bag containing the Tasmanian Devil, who threatens to kill Bugs, Daffy, and Kate. DJ has a choice of zapping the chairman or Taz. He decides to zap a nearby Tweety Bird into the lava, to which Mr. Chairman says "I've enjoyed many of your films!!", then he tells DJ to give him the diamond. DJ gives it to him. DJ now asks him where birds are descended from. Mr. Chairman brags that he was taught in the very finest schools in Europe. "Birds, my friend, are descended from..." Then a pterodactyl Tweety Bird arrives out of the lava. "...the dinosaurs," he finishes afraid. He then spots Tweety behind him, then he says in a Porky Pig manner, "That's all folks!!" Then Tweety eats him. Tasmanian Devil becomes scared, and turns into little pieces and goes away. Tweety spits out the diamond, DJ grabs it, and turns Tweety back into a little canary.
This seems a little "out there" to me.  If someone can reference it, then clean it up and put it back in. Mdotley 03:27, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

message: It says on the back of the DVD that this film is rated PG for mild language and inuenndo. There was inuendo, but I didn't here a single swear in this film. Could someone explain?
:Actually I think there is a momentary use of profanity.  Right when the film cuts to the scene where Steve Martin is reprimanding Wile E. Coyote, I can remember him saying "Goddamn, man, what am I going to do with you? ..."  But I'll check the DVD to make sure. — Cinemaniac (talk  •  contribs) 02:58, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No, I was wrong. The Chairman just says "My God, man! What am I going to do with you?"  I didn't catch any other swear words either, so I'm curious about the rating, too. — Cinemaniac (talk  •  contribs) 14:59, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, according to this site, that use of "My God!" was good enough to give the film a PG rating for "mild language."  Hmm. . . — Cinemaniac (talk  •  contribs) 23:36, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

message: It currently says that Michael Jordan wrote an early draft of the script.  This strikes me as bullshit, the man's a basketball player why would he write for the Looney Tunes movie he's not even in?

message: Add a citation for "Dante agreed to direct Back in Action as tribute to Jones. He and screenwriter Larry Doyle reportedly wanted the film to be the "anti-Space Jam" as Dante disliked how that film represented the Looney Tunes brand and personalities."
On a July 5, 2022 episode of his podcast, "The Movies That Made Me", Dante discusses how he knew Chuck Jones and that Jones did not like the way the characters had been portrayed in Space Jam, and how this was a motivation for him agreeing to take the job.
