    • Trivia
      The only Bugs Bunny cartoon to receive an Academy Award®.
    • Goofs
      When Bugs runs into the door at the base of the tower (chased by Sam the Black Knight and the dragon), he is holding the Singing Sword. When he ducks out and locks his adversaries inside, he is missing the sword. Later, leaving the castle, he has it again.
    • Quotes
      • Sam: Open that bridge, varmit! Open it, I say!
      • [the drawbridge drops on top of Sam]
      • Sam: Close it! Close it! Close it up again!
      • [Drawbridge opens, leaving a flattened Sam]
      • Sam: Okay, rabbit, you forced me to use force!
    • Alternate versions
      On CBS' "The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour (1968)", the sequence where Black Knight Sam climbs a rope to enter the castle to get Bugs was edited to remove Bugs hitting Sam with the mallet.
