Behind the scenes

  • According to a 1982 calendar, he was born on November 21st.
  • The studio behind The Flintstones: On the Rocks were working on a Quick Draw McGraw special of the same vain as their last work, being allowed more creative freedom as Hanna-Barbera wasn't super protective of Quick Draw. However, the project was scrapped as the studio couldn't be bothered to finish the special. A full storyboard of the special exists but nothing has been found beyond that.
  • Quick Draw, among the other canned Hanna Barbera characters, was planned for the film SCOOB! Early concept art shows him chilling at Blue Falcon's sauna.
  • Judging by this storyboard of a scrapped scene from the Jellystone! episode "Grocery Store," Quick Draw had been planned to appear in the series but was changed to be just El Kabong mid production. The reason was made unclear.
  • In the Spanish dub of Quick Draw McGraw, Quick Draw was renamed to Tiro Loco McGraw and speaks in a very American influenced accent. El Kabong in the dub is El Cabazorro, or the Zorro Horse.
    • Similarly, in the Brazilian bub, Quick Draw is renamed Pepe Legal and speaks in drawn out Portuguese.
    • For Jellystone!, El Cabazorro dons a Spanish Accent.
