[00:00:00]how desperate do you have to be to end up eating a tin can?

[00:00:03]"stop! look!

[00:00:04]and Hasten!" 1954 does not jump straight into the chase he takes his time showing us the condition of the coyote his hunger his frustration but then the road runner arrives and as usual all hell breaks loose increasingly elaborate traps absurd plans and of course even more spectacular failures from the classic boulder tied to a rope to a Burmese tiger trap that works a little too well incidentally tigers do exist in Burma they're so called Indochinese tigers now sadly among endangered species the title is no coincidence and some of the best gags revolve around the railway tracks with trains appearing out of nowhere and turning every plan into an inevitable disaster at one point the coyote even tries to cheat by boosting himself with an acme leg tonic and the result is surreal while the Road runner leaves behind the usual trail of smoke he ends up setting the road itself on fire...will this be the one?

[00:01:06]as for the sound it is impossible not to mention Treg Brown the great master of sound effects who in this case used a truly unusual mix combining the sound of a flamethrower a motorcycle engine and various effects taken from the film the Dawn Patrol speeding them up to make them even more aggressive
