Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAfter Wile E. Coyote takes his Acme Super Leg Muscle Supplement, he takes off in a blaze of fire. The road runner leaves smoke, the coyote leaves fire. The sounds for this fire effect, done by sound genius Treg Brown, were made using an old flame thrower, a motorcycle clip, and sounds from the airplanes in Dawn Patrol, all sped up a bit.
- GoofsWhen Coyote is preparing to seize the road runner in the rope loop trap, a truck comes past which isn't scaled correctly, it's very large when compared to coyote, and the camera isn't positioned low on the ground where that scale could be correct.
- Crazy creditsBurmese Tiger (Surprisibus! Surprisibus!)
- Alternate versionsThe film's closing gag, the Road Runner forming "That's all, folks!" from the smoke, is usually cut from TV prints.
- ConnectionsEdited into Adventures of the Road-Runner (1962)
Featured review
Haste doesn't make waste here. And how many cartoons mention Burma?
For some reason, Wile E. Coyote - aka Eatibus anythingus) never figures out that he just can't catch Road Runner - aka Hot rodicus supersonicus). In "Stop! Look! and Hasten!", he uses a Burmese tiger trap (guess what he catches!), a spring-up metal wall, and muscle-building pills, but absolutely nothing does what he wants. Is this cartoon mostly stuff that we've seen before? Maybe so, but how can you not like seeing him get hung by his own petard? All in all, the combination of director Chuck Jones and writer Michael Maltese, plus Mel Blanc as Road Runner, makes for another classic.
How many cartoons would think to mention anything relating to Burma (or is it called Myanmar)?
