Audio problem: When Bugs hits the key on the right of the booby-trapped key, the tone of the key is different to the one when he hit it first time.

Continuity mistake: When Bugs is playing "Endearing Young Charms" on the piano, the explosives that Sam rigged earlier are not attached to the keys, yet appear in the very next shot.

Continuity mistake: When Bugs Bunny puts down the bottles and sees the ants running off with his picnic food, you can see there are five brown bottles in the tub, but after a quick cut to the ants running away, we return to Bugs and the bottles have disappeared.

Continuity mistake: When Yosemite Sam puts down his red box, you can see there is nothing on the front of the box, but in the next shot a small plastic slide has appeared.

Continuity mistake: When the man comes along to buy one of Yosemite Sam's cigars, the lid of the box says "ATOM" but changes to "ATOMIC" in the next shot.

Continuity mistake: When Yosemite Sam tells Bugs Bunny to stop playing his "jukey-box", you can see the glass next to the jug is on the left, but when Sam has fired his gun and Bugs has stopped play, the glass is now on the right.

Continuity mistake: When Yosemite Sam is doing his speech in the stand at the start of the cartoon, you can see beside him there is a stand with a jug and a glass next to it. But when we see Sam from behind in the next shot, the glass has disappeared.
