The Scarlet Pumpernickel Daffy fails to perform a stunt, he mutters, "That's funny - that never happens to Errol Flynn," and his costumed appearance is more like Zorro, with cape, mask and sword, none of which the Pimpernel used.

Michael Barrier's commentary on the DVD pointed out that Errol Flynn had nothing to do with "The Scarlet Pimpernel"; rather, the star was actually Leslie Howard. But, since Flynn was better-known, his name was referenced in the gags. "The Scarlet Pumpernickel" is available, uncensored,
