Trivia
The Russian dog is based on Bert Gordon's character "The Mad Russian". His catch phrases "How do you do!" and "Do you mean it?" were used quite often by the Warner animators.

Goofs
When Bugs Bunny jumps into the water, he is wearing a balloon float device. When Bugs dresses as a mermaid, the strap of the float balloons are still across his chest and under his arms with the balloons behind him. But when the dog get to in front of Bugs, the balloons are suddenly on Bug's chest mimicking breasts. The dog dances about, then leans over to kiss Bugs. Even more suddenly than before, the strap of the balloons are across Bug's chest and under his arms again, with the balloons on either side. Bugs never actually switches the balloons from behind him to his chest, and back again. They just change in a flash, from frame to frame.

Quotes
Bugs Bunny: [dressed as Elmer Fudd] Shh! I'm hunting for a wabbit. Ha-ha-ha-ha.
Russian Dog: [to the audience] Shh! He's hunting for a wabbit. Ha-ha-ha-ha... ? *gasp* WABBIT?

Alternate versions
Two versions of this film exist: The more common version has Bugs handing the Russian Dog a gun for the dog to shoot himself in the head. The other version is slightly longer, and has an ending where Bugs shoots the dog himself in the end!

Classic Bugs

Most of this makes no sense, but since it's an animated cartoon with talking rabbits and dogs, who cares. Bugs, in his usual commanding way, sets up an attack on a very stupid dog. It's the usual pratfalls and careless actions. Some of this was done earlier in another film featuring the same two characters. The underwater scenes defy physics. For instance, how can the dog drool when he is under water. See it. It's pretty interesting.
