Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Bugs Bunny Looney Tunes cartoon, the 1941 Tex Avery directed, The Heckling Hare , (This cartoon is the first Merrie Melodies cartoon that starts with Bugs Bunny lying on top of it of the Warner Bros. flying aegis.):
Originally, the ending scene had Bugs and Willoughby fall off three cliffs. After the second tumble, Bugs then told the audience, "Hold on to your hats, folks. Here we go again!" during the third trip down. For reasons unknown, Leon Schlesinger interfered with the production of this scene. the most popular story is that the "Hold on to your hats" line referred to a sexual euphemism that was then in circulation. Another possible story was that Schlesinger objected to the end because he didn't like the idea that Avery possibly killed off Bugs Bunny, since the cartoon ended with Bugs and Willoughby falling off a cliff. This cartoon is notable to have the longest falling sequence in the history of cinema.

So slam down you last mahjong tile, get comfortable and enjoy the film
As mentioned in the film, Ip Man's fighting style is Wing Chun. It is said to be created by two women, Ng Mui and Yim Wing Chun. According to legend, a warlord wanted to marry Yim Wing Chun, but she refused and instead challenged him to a duel. She came across Ng Mui, a Buddhist nun whom she asked for help. Together they created the art of Wing Chun, which the nun named after Yim Wing Chun. Wing Chun won the fight.
Continuing our celebration of the Lunar New Year, the second feature in The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour is sponsored by Maxis telecom service and their new Dooit Live trivia game app:
