== Censorship ==
* On Nickelodeon's computer colorized version, the scene where the blacksmith pulls out a gun and shoots a rubber horseshoe in a vice to keep it from moving was cut.https://web.archive.org/web/20240224055624/http://www.intanibase.com/gac/looneytunes/censored-u-z.aspx
== Notes ==
* This is the first cartoon to use "Porky's Signature" theme as the opening theme. However, this prototype variation of the theme is only used for this cartoon.
* This is one of the redrawn colorized cartoons that used original theatrical opening and closing titles but retraced.
* The redrawn colorized version used the incorrect 1939–40 opening title instead of the correct 1936–37 opening title.
* The camel from "Little Beau Porky" briefly appears in place of a horse, only to be dragged away when the narrator says that it's supposed to be "the legion cartoon".
