...into a seamless super-chase. It is reason enough to attend this movie, but there are others. Among them are two classic Jones-supervised shorts, What's Opera, Doc?, a send-up of Walt Disney's Fantasia in which Bugs Bunny makes a ravishing Brunhilde opposite Elmer Fudd's stalwart Wagnerian hero. In Duck Amuck, Daffy Duck, whose specialty is egocentricity, suffers the indignity of having his costumes and backgrounds constantly redrawn by a demented animator whose hand and brush become Daffy's antagonist in a brilliant bit of Pop surrealism.

...York City, off-duty police have scuffled with uniformed officers in vitriolic demonstrations over working conditions. In Detroit, bitter police officers insolently nicknamed their balding chief "Elmer Fudd" in washroom graffiti. San Francisco's new police chief removed the American flag to make his office less formal, and small flags defiantly sprouted on squad-car antennas.

Every theme, whether Elmer Fudd chasing down Bugs or Sylvester on the prowl, is hunted outwitting the hunter, of course, whatever that means...
...comparison to the children in the other youth pictures, they seem to be drifting into senility, an impression strongly reinforced by their mummified acting. Jane Asher and Sven-Bertil Taube are attractive and easy enough to take, but Hywel Bennett looks like a cross between Paul McCartney and Elmer Fudd. Then there is doe-eyed Leigh Taylor-Young, an actively bad actress who improves only when she takes her clothes...
