It currently says in this article that this was the last movie John Powell scored before his death. It's actually the last movie that Jerry Goldsmith scored. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.94.73.152 ( talk) 21:44, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
My main motivation for creating this page was to list the incredible number of hilarious cultural references that Larry Doyle and company sprinkle throughout the movie. I realize that rather overbalances the article, but it seemed silly to create an article about the movie with only a paragraph or two like most current movie articles, and then create a separate article many times its length to list the riffs. I invite others to elaborate on the movie itself as desired in order to provide more balance. -- Jeff Q 05:03, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)
I mentioned that "in the frenetic scene where Bugs, Daffy, and Elmer dash in and out of various doors in a hallway, they appear in many characterizations of famous art works." Unfortunately, I am rather ignorant on this subject and could not identify 14 of the 15 quickie characterizations. (I only recognized number 3 — Bugs as "Whistler's Mother". I suspect that Bugs' rather wraith-like appearance in number 8 was an Edward Gorey riff.) I invite any serious art students to review the movie and provide a quick list of each characterization. — Jeff Q 22:12, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I haven't seen this movie, and probably won't anytime soon. (Not to say I don't like Looney Tunes; I grew up on them!) Could someone who's seen the movie please update Mona Lisa#Role in popular culture, describing exactly what they did to her? :-) Thanks, • Benc • 10:03, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I think the Bears in the Eiffel Tower scene are actually the "Three Bears" characters created by Chuck Jones and seen in such Looney Tunes shorts as "A Bear for Punishment", etc. Jeff schiller 00:00, 2004 Sep 4 (UTC)
There really needs to be more about the movie summary in this article; all the references are fine but they're ultimately dominating the article. -- Wack'd About Wiki 07:22, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I belive that the Plant Monster in the Area 52 scene is a Triffid
Although, she does not make any 'official' appearance in the movie, she can be seen in many background posters with either by herself, with Bugs Bunny, or with both Bugs and Daffy. (See screen-shots of the scenes in question from the movie.)
Here, we will quote what I believe is an indirect reference to the whole Lola Bunny controversy:
(--Looneyman 21:00, 12 July 2005 (UTC)is to be credited for this description of the scene)
In the restaurant, as Kates discusses with Bugs Bunny his to-be popularity without the assistance of Daffy Duck: ...Kate: "Answer, we team you up with a hot female co-star."( App. ref. to Lola Bunny, conveniently in the background poster.)
Bugs: "Usually, (spin changes into drag queen outfit and starts talking in high, female voice) I play the female love interest."
Michigan: (in backround) Hello, my baby, hello, my darling, hello my ragtime doll...
Kate: "About the cross-dressing thing. In the past, funny. Today, disturbing."
Bugs spin-changes back to normal attire except for lipstick as Michigan stops singing.
Bugs: (while wiping off lipstick) "Lady, if you don't find a rabbit with lipstick amusing, you and I have nothin' to say to each other."
--Looneyman 21:00, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
Q: Was Kate suggesting that Honey Bunny was actually nothing more than Bugs Bunny cross-dressing? If so it would be a plausible explanation to her dissapearance, and to Lola Bunny replacing her as a way more contemporary version of a 'Bugs Bunny sweetheart'.
Besides, this little discussion DOES make up for the damage done to the character's personality in Space Jam since Bugs acted then, a little too 'boorish' and all 'head over heels' over Lola. It also gives us a little idea that says something among the lines "Bugs Bunny's character will not completely be changed for a non-needed greed of popularity, he will simply evolve with time as will his fans".
I like to think, and hope we will be seen more of Lola Bunny in future Looney Tunes movies, though it is sad to think that such characters can be so easily invented then discerned by WB for commercial purposes. I, once a Honey Bunny fan, have easily welcomed Lola Bunny's 'fresh and feminine' character but I doubt I will, in the same way, accept her suddenly dissapearing to be replaced yet again by a new one: It is about time that WB declared an official Bugs Bunny 'girlfriend and sweetheart'.
Females have been diregarded for years and years by Looney Tunes now. They have come and gone. Examples such as Melissa Duck, Petunia Pig and Tasmanian She Devil have all had maybe two appearances and then disappeared never to be heard from again. Lola is no different from them. Sure the way Bugs Bunny was portrayed in Space Jam was way off, but that is no need to get rid of what could have been a leading female Looney Tunes star. My opinion doesn't matter so I can only hope the current writers can listen to longtime fans and finally include a female lead instead of a one time appearance female supporter.

Couldn't agree with you more.
WAVY 10 18:37, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
I think the WB should let female characters(Lola Bunny, Melissa Duck,Petunia Pig and Tasmanian She Devil) appear in some cartoon shorts in the future. (If they plan to create more cartoon short)
"Females have been diregarded for years and years by Looney Tunes now. They have come and gone." BS. Granny and Penelope Pussycat, anyone? Anyway, the reason none of the females you mentioned stayed is that none of them were worthy of being kept, as they didn't make as much of an impression nor were as successful as the other characters. What characters stay simply depends on their success, their gender has nothing to do with anything. There are a lot of male characters that received the same treatment as the females you mentioned, too, so don't pull the gender card. - 190.231.20.106 ( talk) 02:53, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
Do the movie credits really list the characters as "George Washington 'Bugs' Bunny", "Porcine 'Porky' Pig", etc.? — Amcaja 21:51, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
No, George Washington Bunny is Bugs's real name according to a comic book, and Porcine Pig is Porky's real name according to the book Bugs Bunny: 50 Years and only one Gray Hare.-- JFP 03:23, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Looney Tunes: Back In Action → Looney Tunes: Back in Action – non-controversial standard capitalization fix. The article was originally correctly capitalized, but was inexplicably moved to the current incorrect version around 6 January 2006, 01:30 (UTC) by SNIyer12, who immediately executed several ultimately self-reverted edits that now prevent a simple move to correct the capitalization.

I would like to know why Warner Brothers is currently having second thoughts about the popularity of the Looney Toons! If so, why did they release the film on DVD? Also, why did they release the Looney Tunes: Golden Collections? Please give a citation, someone!
By Concerned Animation Historian
I doubt that the Nemo thing's the exact thing. I saw that the fish was red (in the DVD anyway), and I don't think it had three stripes on it. So I highly doubt that it's a proper reference. --Addict 2006 22:46, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
I hope Warner Bros. releases the shorts that were scrapped with the failure of this movie in the near future.
WAVY 10 18:38, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, I saw "Bah-Humduck". It was okay, not (obviously) on par with the original or some of the special shorts from the early '90s, but it's a start.
WAVY 10 00:48, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
Posted by JS on January 7, 2007: I agree with you, WAVY 10, that "Bah Humduck" is not on par with the classic shorts (Maybe when I said "great", I should have put "better than expected.") The designs of Gossamer, Hubie and Bertie, and Wile E. seem particularly off-center. But the one great thing about Bah Humduck is this: it gives Daffy a chance to be in the spotlight. You can go to the Daffy Duck article's talk page and look under "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAFFY!" to get a better understanding of what I mean.
This seems a little "out there" to me. If someone can reference it, then clean it up and put it back in. Mdotley 03:27, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
That scene is actually real. It was included on the "Out of Action" deleted scene montage bonus feature on the film's DVD and a similar ending was used in the film's video game adaptation.-- JFP 03:26, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
It says on the back of the DVD that this film is rated PG for mild language and inuenndo. There was inuendo, but I didn't here a single swear in this film. Could someone explain?
It currently says that Michael Jordan wrote an early draft of the script. This strikes me as bullshit, the man's a basketball player why would he write for the Looney Tunes movie he's not even in? Plus it had no sources. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.30.242.151 ( talk) 01:20, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Ehm - how is Mel Blanc the voice actor for so many of these characters if he in fact died in 1989? 195.89.37.17 ( talk) 13:16, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
"The film is the second live action feature-length featuring the Looney Tunes characters, the first being Space Jam (1996)". What about Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)? Looney Tunes characters weren't the main characters, but they were there (eg. Bugs Bunny). 213.135.36.104 ( talk) 09:43, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Danny Mann, who voices the Robo Dog and the Spy Car is not credited for some reason. 173.54.199.149 ( talk) 20:55, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
According to the article, there are two major reasons why this film bombed at the box office. The first was Warner Bros. barley promoting the film, and the second reason was heavy competition against other films.
Normally, both the summer and the later fall/winter are very competitive for movies at the box office, and Looney Tunes: Back in Action (regular US premier on November 14th) was no exception. Facing competition against this film included Walt Disney's Brother Bear (released November 1st), Elf (released November 7th), Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (released the same day as LT:BIA), and the live action remake of the The Cat in the Hat (released November 21st). Would it be worth a mention that these four films competed against Looney Tunes: Back in Action at the box office back in the fall of 2003? -- JCC the Alternate Historian ( talk) 14:35, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

Add a citation for "Dante agreed to direct Back in Action as tribute to Jones. He and screenwriter Larry Doyle reportedly wanted the film to be the "anti-Space Jam" as Dante disliked how that film represented the Looney Tunes brand and personalities."
On a July 5, 2022 episode of his podcast, "The Movies That Made Me", Dante discusses how he knew Chuck Jones and that Jones did not like the way the characters had been portrayed in Space Jam, and how this was a motivation for him agreeing to take the job.
