* Constable Mackintosh's insistence that the damage to the vegetables was arson ([[FunWithHomophones "One of you, arsin' around!"]]) makes sense when you consider both Anti-Pesto and the competition's records. The former's pest control devices and traps are repeatedly proven reliable and effective in the movie, particularly with their [[SinisterSurveillance anti-pest surveillance network]], so for them to suddenly start failing to protect their owner's vegetables from mere rabbits just now would be a ''very'' suspicious coincidence, especially given that multiple signs suggest something a lot bigger than normal rabbits. Coupled with his claim that the competition has led to trouble between the villagers each year, a disgruntled or unethical competitor sabotaging their opponents becomes a very real and logical possibility.

* A reaction by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xheZZgGTrJk JV's Galactic Adventures]] puts into perspective why Wallace was gaining weight in the first place. Not because he was getting older and not just because he was eating lots of cheese, but mostly because his automated lifestyle meant Wallace wasn't exercising enough. He doesn't even use the stairs to come down. If anything, his weight gain is a [[{{Deconstruction}} natural result]] of relying on his inventions.
* When Victor challenges Wallace to hand-to-hand combat he insists that they follow "Queensberry Rules", a traditional set of rules for boxing, one of which is "no rabbit punches" (a blow to the back of the head).

* When Victor is getting the gold bullets from the vicar, the older man delivers a speech about the bestial side in everyone, much to his audience's annoyance. As Victor leaves, the vicar cries "Beware! Beware the beast within!" Considering the horrific lengths that Victor employs to get rid of Wallace, he didn't heed the vicar's warning.



* What exactly would the rabbits have eaten if Wallace successfully conditioned them to not eat vegetables? Would they have just starved to death?
** Rabbits are also known to eat grass and hay, so it's unlikely.
*** When Wallace is in Lady Tottington's home, after his accidental reconditioning to like vegetables, he eats a flower. If that counts as a vegetable in his head, then the same would be true for the rabbits he's taking after…
* Based on some of the Were-Rabbit behavior, specifically at the end when he got angry at Victor Quartermaine hurting Lady Tottington and how he recognizes Gromit, there is a chance that it's a SuperPoweredEvilSide for Wallace at best where he loses himself to his rabbit's instinct or at worst an AndIMustScream situation where he could see and know everything that happens around him yet can't do anything until he fought back against it.
** It could just be that he gained a degree of awareness of himself in that state after he learned what was happening to him, whereas before he was unaware of the change.
* When Victor left Tottington Hall near the beginning, he had a rabbit on his head that he mistook for his wig. However, when we see him next at the church meeting, he has an identical wig and the rabbit is nowhere to be seen. Considering that he originally wanted to shoot the rabbits dead, it's not too far fetched to guess that he killed the rabbit on his head when he found out about it.
** Alternatively, he could have just gone back for the wig, particularly when he was still trying to appeal to Lady Tottington. And it's not hard to imagine the rabbit simply escaped, possibly without Victor even initially noticing.
