Notes/Trivia[]
- In this episode, Bad Bird saves Speedy's life, and Bad Bird gets revenge on the Big Cheese and Jerry Atric for cheating. He deflects Jerry Atric's cheating attempt against Speedy (in the form of a dart) during a Kung Fu tournament, because of the lack of honor in cheating.
- Bad Bird may have gotten revenge on Speedy too by having Speedy date Princess Vi. Speedy is miserable when he won the tournament and he has to be Princess Vi's date. Bad Bird gets the last laugh.
- In the KNT version, Princess Vi offers a wish to the victor, in the SPC version, the winner gets to date her.
- In the KNT version, Speedy hopes to wish for a harem, in the SPC version Speedy hopes to ask Vi to bring all her lady friends and be treated like a king during their date.
- The Big Cheese and the Rescue Team crossdress in this episode, wearing cheerleader outfits.
- This episode got banned in the USA due to censorship. This is due to scenes such as The Big Cheese having an orgasm from hearing Bullshot Bill was in the lead, the first part of Bullshot Bill's name is an obvious pun on a swear word, a joke that involved rabbit pellets coming out the wrong end, a prostitution joke and a scene that somewhat resembled a sexual assault (Smiling Jack massaging Polly). There is also the implication of bisexuality on Princess Vi's part as women are shown participating in the tournament, and her reward is that the winner goes on a date with her in non-gender specified language.
- When Speedy finishes off the robot, slices of steak spread from the explosion.
- Ben Bunny says Bugs Bunny's famous line "What's up, Doc?"
- Rooster Cogbird's name is a pun on Rooster Cogburn.
