Looney Tunes: Back in Action: Difference between revisions

Line 43:

* [[Deliberate Values Dissonance]]: Kate, with modern day sensibilities, very much doesn't appreciate Bugs' [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]] style of humor.

* [[Disaster Dominoes]]: On a smaller scale than most disasters, but Daffy still makes a big mess when he crashes the Batmobile into the Warner Water Tower.

* [[Duck Season Rabbit Season]]: Both played straight at the beginning, and later [[Subverted Trope|subverted]] later on after Daffy's been fired from Warner Bros.

* [[Duck Season! Rabbit Season!]]: Both played straight at the beginning, and later [[Subverted Trope|subverted]] later on after Daffy's been fired from Warner Bros.

{{quote| '''Elmer Fudd''': Say your prayers, wabbit! It's wabbit season!<br />

'''Bugs Bunny''': Duck season!<br />

Line 65:

* [[Face Heel Turn]]: Elmer revealing his employment with Acme is almost certainly an excuse for him describe himself as "secwetwy eviw".

* [[Face Palm]]: Daffy: "You know, I'm beginning to think that ''this'' one is the spy car!" * Bugs facepalms*

* [[Fake-Out 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, spouting his frustration of 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 (a [[Crazy Awesome]] 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 end.

*** To be fair, Elmer wasn't too happy about it either.

Line 95:

''(fadeout disappears and car smashes into the ground)''<br />

'''Bugs''': "[[Sarcasm Mode|...thanks, toots.]]" }}

* [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover]]: The Area 52 scene, featuring [[The Day of the Triffids|a Triffid plant]], the eponymous ''[[Robot Monster]]'', the mutant from ''[[This Island Earth]]'' and even '''[[Doctor Who ~~(TV)~~|Daleks]]''', among others. Those last ones were accidentally included without the consent of the Terry Nation estate, for the record. (Keep in mind that the movie was released in 2003 whereas ''Doctor Who'' would only return in 2005.)

** Forget Kevin McCarthy mumbling about how [[Invasion of the Body Snatchers|they're here]]?

*** Well, it is a Joe Dante movie; he had to make an appearance somewhere in there... along with [[Dick Miller]].

Line 120:

* [[Robot Dog]]

* [[Rule of Funny]]: As opposed to ''[[Space Jam (Film)|Space Jam]]'', which had a more conventional plot, this is basically a Looney Tunes short extended to 90 minutes that just happens to be partially-made in live-action. Accept this, as it's the only way you could possibly enjoy the movie.

* [[Scooby Dooby Doors|Scooby Dooby Paintings]]

* [[Scooby-Dooby Doors|Scooby Dooby Paintings]]

* [[Shout Out]]: "Hey, whadda ya know? I [[Finding Nemo|found Nemo]]!"

* [[Shout-Out]]: "Hey, whadda ya know? I [[Finding Nemo|found Nemo]]!"

** Bugs recreates the [[Psycho Shower Murder Parody|iconic scene]] from ''[[Psycho (Film)|Psycho]]''.

** There's a scene in the casino of every Looney Tunes dog character playing poker.

** There is also a couple of [[Doctor Who ~~(TV)~~|Daleks]] in {{spoiler|Area 52}}.

* [[Shown Their Work]]: When Elmer confronts the heroes at gunpoint, Bugs asks, "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.

* [[Single-Minded Twins]]: Don and Dan Stanton show up as "Mr. Warner" and "Mr. Warner's Brother". Joe Dante fans might remember them as the grown-up versions of Ernest and Bertram Wilson from ''[[Eerie Indiana]]''.

* [[Slapstick]]

* [[Split Screen Phone Call]]: Bugs and Daffy do this when Bugs has plans to help Daffy get his job back. And they even push the split-screen line back and forth, into one another!

* [[Starring Special Effects]]

* [[Stealth Pun]]: As DJ and Daffy go into the garage, the theme from Gremlins (which was also directed by Dante and whose score was also composed by [[Jerry Goldsmith]]) sneaks into the music. Guess what model of car they drive off in.
