Plot:
The Big Game XXIX was a four-hour marathon featuring a selection of classic Looney Tunes shorts focused on the rivalry between Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. The special was structured like a sports broadcast, complete with pre-game segments, live commentary, and post-game analysis, all parodying the Super Bowl.
Name and role:
Wile E. Coyote, as determined as ever to catch his speedy nemesis, builds a DIY helicopter using various ACME products. During the chase, the two accidentally enter a restricted military zone, activating two heat-seeking missiles: a red one targeting Road Runner, and a blue one locked onto Wile E. After a series of unfortunate events (because of course), Wile E. ends up stranded on a rock with the blue missile hovering right above him. His helicopter reactivates by accident, slamming him into the missile, which explodes. Spectacularly.
Trivia and other appearances:
This short is part of the same series as Coyote Falls and Rabid Rider, both released in 2010, a glorious trio of digital slapstick with all the classic timing, but now with pixels and pop-out effects. Actually plu one shown in 2014: Flash in the Pain
