Lack of good storyline.

What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Bugs Bunny is tunneling to see his cousin in San Francisco when he hits his head on a large gold nugget. Bugs doesn't enjoy his gold for long as he's soon swindled out of it by a crook called Nasty Canasta (love that name!). Six months later, Canasta has used the gold to build himself a profitable casino. Bugs shows up and decides to get even with the swindler by taking him for all he's worth. A funny and nicely-animated short from director Chuck Jones. I liked how the action starts during the opening credits, something Jones did quite a bit. Since the cartoon's only 7 minutes or so I appreciate how he tried to get in as much as he could. I liked the villain Nasty Canasta a lot. Aside from having a cool name, he's voiced by the great Daws Butler. Bugs is in top form here, especially when in disguise at the casino. Some hilarious gags like 'draw poker' and 'bigger hand.' Just a fun short.

Written by Tedd Pierce and directed by Chuck Jones, featuring a great music score by Carl W. Stalling, "Barbary-Coast Bunny" is an enjoyable Bugs Bunny cartoon that takes place in 19th-Century San Francisco! When Bugs (voiced by Mel Blanc) discovers a mound of gold, a slick cigar-chomping gambler (voiced by Daws Butler) cheats him out of it and flees. Will this be the end of Bugs Bunny's fortune? My favorite moments from this cartoon: Watch Bugs' eyes - and his animated reaction - when he first discovers the gold. Likewise, look at Bugs' wry facial expression as he starts to leave the saloon (with a wheelbarrow full of gold) and then tells the gambler that it isn't any fun to play with him when he overreacts. Plus, I like how Bugs plays roulette with the bullet chamber of the gambler's pistol."Barbary-Coast Bunny" can be found on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 4 Disc 1. As I've pointed out in other written commentaries, director Chuck Jones can evoke laughter from the simplest facial expressions. In addition to Bugs Bunny's expressions that I've described above, watch the various expressions on the gambler's face each time that Bugs outsmarts him in a game.

Chuck Jones's 'Barbary Coast Bunny' is a hilarious cartoon which benefits greatly from a terrific script by Tedd Pierce. Jones goes for a minimal look in his layouts which proves to be a wise choice since 'Barbary Coast Bunny' is very much a cartoon based heavily around the interaction of two characters. This interaction, as per usual, is realised with impeccable timing by Jones. When Bugs Bunny accidentally finds an enormous gold nugget, the villainous Nasty Canasta (a dopier re-imagining of the villain from 'Drip Along Daffy') steals it and uses it to build his own casino. Bugs turns up at this casino, disguised as a know-nothing out-of-town type and proceeds to get more than his money back. The gambling sequences get progressively funnier as Bugs manages to win money even from sources that are not supposed to dispense it! 'Barbary Coast Bunny' was a cartoon that I loved as a child and its unexpected twists and deftly imaginative script ensure that I still love it equally as much as an adult.

This is one of my favorite Bugs Bunny shorts, which deftly illustrates one of Chuck Jones's rules for his Bugs cartoons, which was that Bugs should never go after anyone for no good reason-he has to be the aggrieved party first in some way and merely evening the score with a bad guy. Because I want to discuss some of the details, this is a spoiler warning: The short opens with Bugs on his way to meet his cousin Herman when he runs into a boulder-sized gold nugget. After whooping it up about his good fortune ("I'm rich beyond the means of avarice!"), Bugs suddenly turns paranoid and protective, none of which escapes the notice of Nasty Canasta, who opens up a "bank" where Bugs foolishly deposits his gold. Thinking better of it, he goes back to get his gold, only to have Canasta literally close the bank facade on and around him, trapping him inside. Placing a boulder on the cube encasing the rabbit, Canasta rides off with Bugs's gold, leaving only Bugs's eyes visible and we hear him say, "You realize that this will not go unchallenged!" and we know that Canasta is in deep trouble.Some six months later, as Canasta is marking a deck of cards in preparation of the opening of his saloon and casino, who should come in but our hero, suited up as a hayseed with his hair full of hay? If you said Bugs, you win a carrot! He asks if he can use Canasta's "Telio-phone", pointing at a slot machine. Canasta chuckles and says "Sure!", at which point Bugs hits the jackpot and a huge pile of coins pours out. Canasta urges him to stick around and play some games.We all know who's going to win-Bugs is the hero here, after all-the fun is in watching just how Bugs makes Canasta the patsy, when Canasta thinks he's got a live sucker ripe for the fleecing. They play "marbles, Frisco style", with Bugs winning a penny bet on 23, being told that here, the customer always wins, Bugs placing a huge stack on 23 again and Canasta not only nailing a block of wood in place over 23 (so no one else-in an empty casino-can bet on 23), but using a rigged wheel, only to have the ball go into 23 because of Canasta's actions.They then play poker, with a few cute puns and Canasta says, "I got a full house-what you got?", to which Bugs says, "Does that beat two pair? I have a pair of red ones (aces) and a pair of black ones (also aces) and Canasta is visibly stunned at losing. As Bugs is getting ready to leave, Canasta pulls out a revolver, Bugs then spins the cylinder and hits another jackpot. After a predictable (but still funny) final visual gag, Bugs leaves with a final funny line, which I won't spoil here.This short is available on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection, Volume 4 and is well worth having. Highly recommended.
