In the bar scene, where Judge Doom is trying to find Roger, one of the men in the bar says, "I've seen a rabbit," and makes a reference to Harvey. Harvey is the name of a ten foot tall invisible rabbit in a film by the same name starring James Stewart. Although the film version of "Harvey" did not come out until 1950 it was based on a stageplay which opened in New York in November 1944.Thanks to Michael Blab

Fast forward to the bar scene where Jessica Rabbit does her song number. When the screen pans out to show the whole stage, watch the polished catwalk in front of her. As she walks past it, her reflection is nude. During the scene when Jessica and Eddie are getting away in the taxi and crash into the lightpole, Jessica and Eddie are thrown from the car. As Jessica is spinning through the air, her skirt moves just enough to show that she's not wearing underwear. You can see the frames from the movie here.Rewind Archive
