Honestly that constable was pretty smart. Wallace's traps and pest control devices have always been reliable, so for them to suddenly be ineffective would be out of character if they were facing mere rabbits. So the only logical explanation would be sabotage; a person would easily be able to bypass those systems. Of course nobody would expect a giant were-rabbit would be the cause
That's actually a really good point. And generally speaking, I don't remember any invention that Wallace has made ever drastically malfunctioning on it's own. They've only ever gone wrong from being misused, or deliberately altered by someone else. The only case was with the one from this specific movie in order to cure his own distaste for vegetables, and make the rabbits dislike vegetables instead. That's specific machine resulting in Wallace becoming the Were-rabbit being the only one I can think of that catastrophically failed. Though, if I remember right, it was actually Gromit that accidentally reversed the machine. So had that not happened, the machine worked perfectly as intended. Which I have to say, Wallace as an inventor has a stellar track record.
@@DragonHeart53Huh... thinking about it, you're right! There _is_ a series of shorts called "Cracking Contraptions" that's about Wallace inventing things that malfunction, but as far as the main series, everything mostly works as intended. Though it was Wallace who kicked the lever to reverse the machine, and they also failed to put the kettle on for their Rube Goldberg wakeup system on the first night.
If people are wondering why this ended up in a kids' movie, it's because the word "arse", while considered fairly vulgar language, is not seen to be quite as vulgar as "ass" is in America. "Arsehole" is considered a fairly vulgar insult, however, and that will often bump a film up to a 12.
This movie was utterly hilarious, and I still can't believe they got away with some of the jokes in it. Quite apart from "Someone arson around," you had "Kiss my artichoke," the vicar's "Nun Wrestling" magazine, and a naked Wallace covering his modesty with a cardboard box prominently displaying a "May contain nuts" sticker.
My favourite line I still quote to this day "I never saw such cauliflower carnage! Worse than the great slug blight of 32, back when there were slugs the size of pigs" "Groberts right the Slugs are back!!!"
It's actually like this in rural parts round here....that's how we ended up with the "you'll have someone's eye out with that" saying. Should have seen it at closing time down the many local pubs....carnage absolutely everywhere.

There's a similar gag in John Wayne's "Rio Grande". His Irish friend is repeatedly called an arsonist and acts deeply offended. Then he asks someone what it means, is told the correct definition, and laughs heartily. "Oh, is that all it is?"
@@jamespennington7919 You mean something like “What’s your brother doing tonight?” “Nothin’, just arsin’ about at the club with his friends.” “You mean his gay buddies?” “Yeah, so what? Oh...”
I think this movie is where I first heard the word "arson", but I didn't know what it meant until years later. Funny how movies can actually teach you new words.

His film was genius. Every time you watch it, you get new jokes that they'd snuck in so naturally. I wouldn't be surprised if every single line in this film is in some way a joke, I'm just not old enough to get them yet
The little finger wave with the phrase "That's right!" as he chuckles at his own joke while everyone boos him is what makes this pristine. 😄 Can't devastate a man who thinks his own jokes are hilarious.
This movie had a lot of great little bits. My two favorites are the very obvious joke about the wererabbit needing to be killed by a 24 karat gold bullet, and the much less obvious joke that the author of the monster book is named "Claude Savagely"
I found myself reciting this word for word as I watched it. The Wallace & Gromit series (the feature-length Curse of the Were Rabbit especially) will NEVER stop being a cornerstone of great British comedy.
I prefer the gag later in the same scene, when the character voiced by Ralph Fiennes mentions the titular Were Rabbit and there’s a dramatic chord in the music, and he immediately goes "Stop that!" And then they cut to the organ player in the church closing the lid on the organ.
There have been brilliant sound effects throughout the W&G films. I think my favourite is the slurpy wobble noise that Feathers McGraw's rubber glove makes when he disguises himself as a chicken with it.
That's pretty top tier, but the true best joke is when victor gets his pants pulled down by a weathervane and the vicar dramatically points and yells "beware the moooooon!"
There are so many great jokes in this movie. The gardening tools stall holder changing his sign to "Angry mob supplies" Wallace being genuinely surprised that the fallen tree is "heavier than it looks." "Who's there?" *BELCH* "Mrs Mulch?" The titles on Wallace's book shelf all being cheese versions of real books. The drawing of bigfoot in the vicar's book of monsters. "We'll be there in an AAAAARGH!" "In an hour? I can't wait that long"
Im 35, and if this film is on tv, Ill stop what Im doing and watch 😂 its genuinely one of the best children's films for adults.... its like Paddington!
Dude when lady goes through b secret door and you see the whole taxidermied bodies of the animals sticking out the other side of the wall, it just kills me every time.
