Added DiffLines:

* The mock conversations between the film's narrator ([[NarratorAllAlong actually the grandson of the baby Buffalo Jones rescues during the story]]) and the "backup narrator" who read excerpts of letters early in the film.


Added DiffLines:

* The film gets padded with several comic relief scenes of the adventures of "Bandit" the racoon. And by "[[DeadlyEuphemism adventures]]", the film means constant brushes with danger, starting with a fight with a cougar, and then getting washed away on an ice floe during a flash flood.
-->'''Narrator:''' Logs, branches, and huge pieces of ice came crashing downstream.\\
'''Mike, Kevin, Bill:''' ''Adventure!''\\
'''Narrator:''' There went Bandit, sailing by on a chunk of ice.\\
'''Bill:''' ''[Jovially as the narrator]'' Yep, he's out there somewhere, kids! ''[sotto voce]'' Pull out further so you can't see the corpse.\\
'''Narrator:''' ''[as the film crossfades to Bandit on the riverside]'' He scampered from one piece of ice to the other and finally made it to shore.\\
'''Mike:''' Shown here, Bandit Number 17.
** Kevin gets to sing another reprise of the film's theme dedicated to Bandit: "There is a raccoon, true star of this film! It's like [[Film/FridayTheThirteenth Jason Voorhees]], it cannot be killed!''
** A callback when one of the evil buffalo hunters in the film takes a shot at a herd of buffalo offscreen:
--->''[Gunshot]''\\
'''Kevin:'' ''[as hunter]'' Yeehaw! Got me a raccoon!\\
'''Bill:''' ''[as narrator]'' Bandit's 'adventures' continue!

Added DiffLines:

* Them being utterly baffled, and frankly so is the audience, that every time the characters enter or leave a room, this very unnatural noise that is supposed to be the sound of the doors closing happens. This is later topped when after hearing that bizarre sound effect throughout the film, there is in fact a scene where a normal door closing sound is heard, making ''even less sense.'' Clearly, the editor or director had access to the normal door closing stock sound, so why did he use the bizarre one for 90% of the movie?
