How the HELL did *Kangaroo Jack* happen??! (MOVIE REACTION)

[@NiceDudeMovieNight]

This comment thread is a safe space to cope with being lied to when we first saw Kangaroo Jack. Your stories will help motivate others to get through this.

[@razkable]

this movie's marketing legit does lie...it should be called outback stakes...or something corny like that...

[@NiceDudeMovieNight]

@@razkable L o l, well fun fact for ya! It was originally titled "Down and Under", and was gonna be a full blown R-rated mob comedy. I highly recommend looking it up and going down this rabbit hole 😂

[@burgergaming19]

Such Ana amazing movie remember watching it in theater

[@seigeengine]

This is a very good movie for kids. It taught me if I mess with the wild life the wild life will kick the shit out of me, and that if I grope a woman, I should and probably will get hit. Also, don't take money from the mob.

[@Amy-uj3ht]

Can't lie this was one of my favourite movies as a kid, I found it hilarious 😂

[@jordiemorrison7391]

when my brother was little, this was his favorite movie. as a result ive seen this movie probably dozens of times

[@promisemochi]

this + without a paddle, a short list of movies there's no way my child-self should have been watching lmao - if you ever want to react to without a paddle too, that would just make my whole day lol

[@NEEDbacon]

I remember Without a Paddle at least being good through out, if dumb.

[@promisemochi]

@@NEEDbacon oh yes!! i definitely think it's good but looking back now as an adult i'm like "oh yikes what was i doing watching that that young" lmao

[@ficha13]

You say "this is a childrend's movie", but I watched and loved this thing as a child xD

[@allthingsgood8265]

This is one of my favorite movies.

[@ctochs]

Thing is if you watch this movie for what it is instead of joking about what it isn’t, it’s not a half-bad movie

[@TheDisTract]

I forgot Chris Walken and Michael Shannon were in this 😆 it was all downhill for them after this masterpiece Great stuff as always dudes 👊

[@NiceDudeMovieNight]

Thank you kindly! And yeah, they were a HUGE waste of potential, tbh. 😂

[@4eversmokey]

Great video guys! 18 years later and I still don't know why they left that mirage scene with Jessie in the final cut when they knew that they were going to market the movie towards kids lol

[@NiceDudeMovieNight]

It’s mind blowing! And I saw that as a kid too 😂 thanks for watching!

[@WorldWalker128]

Probably for the same reason Cartoon Network put Johnny Bravo up as one of their shows.

[@HyrannoCraft]

9:45 - I'm pretty sure jack is at least smarter than normal kangaroos

[@Rim_TTV]

As a aussie, this movie is amazing

[@darkbolt9328]

Dude i remember watching this movie when I was young like elementary young.😂

[@ronanmates7812]

"it's so authentically australian" said the american production staff

[@jjc5871]

Holy shit after seeing this, I honestly cannot believe I watched this movie as a little kid.

[@warofages13]

The sequel is an absolute must because of the way it ties into the events of this first one!

[@timothymatzke2156]

Btw u guys should see the untold episode of the americas cup where australia won. They actually made a flag with a boxing kangaroo and played down under as their fight song. They did this to try amd hype up australians. At this time america has been defending the cup for over 180 years

[@Nina-rj4nu]

The further north you go in Oz, the more accurate this dialogue becomes.

[@aedt3]

lol this movie was filmed in my hometown right in the middle of australia

[@Chip-Chapley]

3:55 that wouldn't just knock the wind out of you, it would also knock your intestines out. roos have these giant claws on there feet, when they kick they're also scratching, and thats a death nobody wants to see.

[@DeeperWithDiego]

This movie taught me that if someone is having a real medical emergency, and they grab my body while not being in control, the best reaction I I could do is punch the suffering person right in the nose as hard as I can, instead of pushing them away.

[@freakcircus6109]

Whenever this movie was on, I'd watch it. So, I've seen it a few times. And yes, it was for the kangaroo...which is not in most of the movie.

[@nono-ch8oy]

I love this movie lol. I didn't realize it was bad.

[@marcosspinetti7996]

11:03 “This feels very Star Wars prequel-“ “Jar-Jar Binks style.” Did you know Ahmed Best played Louie in the animated sequel? Yeah.

[@DASBIGUN]

I love the anger in saying "You have to watch this too"

[@catsabotage3362]

I loved this movie as a kid. Thought it needed more edge, but that's about it.

[@samsquanch1996]

For a PG-rated movie it has a bit too much edge, lol.

[@jefferyjr.939]

This movie is a masterpiece

[@MisterSynyster]

So the joke is that a male Kangaroo is called a "Jack," just like a Joey is a baby

[@joeymartinez9854]

Thy did an animated sequel called kangaroo jack good day USA

[@ChristianFrates1997]

At least there’s an animated sequel with more kangaroos.

[@Nina-rj4nu]

Hitting an animal etiquette in Oz - make sure the animal is dead, check for joeys, pull the carcass well off the road so other animals who come to feed on the dead animal don't cause more accidents.

[@thetexanhusky]

Yeah, this movie should've just stayed a dark mob comedy like what was originally intended. At worst, it'd just be mediocre. But, here we are, 20 years later. We have a movie that is just plain forgettable and not that exciting. What could've been.

[@harrymadworld9686]

Exaggerated, mildly accurate. Sadly mate, I've known people to use all these slangs. I reckon it's spot on.

[@AMB3Rjade]

Australia has some brilliant music, you just haven't heard it 😜 Start with John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes and enjoy the dive down the rabbit hole from there! 😅

[@AsXSharDzZ]

I lvoe how they get off the plane in our biggest city and then suddenly are 3 days drive away in the northern territory

[@commanderkorra3316]

I don't know, I liked this movie when I was a kid, and as an adult.

[@TheRogueCommand]

Now I'm wondering what the timeline where this was Rated R was like 🤣

[@knightwolf3511]

first toilet was in 1957 leave it to beaver Psycho 1984 was given a M rating but changed to R in 1960s M rating was the same as pg back in those days ratings board is extremely inconsistent with movies as well

[@vanhattfield8292]

"Austraila has no music" AC/DC, Bee Gees, Midnight Oil, Jet, INXS, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, The Little River Band, Powder Finger and Savage Garden, Air Supply. Kylie Minogue, Goyte, The Vines and Keith Urban (to name a few) enter the chat...

[@snarkus63]

The trailer alone was enough to convince me to stay the hell away from this!

[@munchie_mouth]

If you want a good Kangaroo movie that delivers I would recommend "Warriors of Virtue".

[@Aquascorpicorn]

2:08 is that why he died in man of steel?

[@LexoG33]

I watched this as a kid? lol. What ever happened to Estella Warren?

[@betterthancrabpeople]

i dont feel the twistusion flowing

[@wolverinefangowings]

The producers of this movie are the second-biggest liars in all of cinema. #1 is Grandpa Joe from Willy Wonka

[@Simon_Sez]

I don’t remember ANY of this. Definitely blocked this movie out of my memory lol

[@NiceDudeMovieNight]

L o l sorry to bring those memories back!

[@EB1493]

I’m just baffled this movie has a PG rating!!!! We’ve been had!

[@Breexbloodlust]

damn i was too young for this lol i had a thing for the blond tho

[@samsquanch1996]

This film is a guilty pleasure of mine, stupid and immature but fun to watch. Definitely not a kids movie lol. Really is one of the most ridiculous pieces of cinema ever made.

[@lisahansen5975]

As an Australian this is a terrible depiction of what the outback is really like. And the accents are horrible,

[@NiceDudeMovieNight]

Hahaha yeah we figured as much!

[@chocobosage]

I'm so glad I never watched this movie haha!!

[@allthingsgood8265]

Just subscribed

[@NiceDudeMovieNight]

Thanks so much!

[@SteamPaladin]

the cartoon sequel movie was better. HOW DID THAT HAPPEN

[@SteamPaladin]

"this is the only song they play in australia, they don't have music" ...silverchair :(

[@AtomicMama42]

This movie is both horrible and awesome 😂

[@jayjitsuu]

Am I the only kid who enjoyed the hell outta this movie when it came out? Lol

[@lover-of-fate]

Australia does not have music???? Heard of Mondo rock or Icehouse or Kylie Minogue or Delta Goodrem or Johnny Farnham or Jimmy Barnes or Paul Kely or Jessica mauboy. Not to mention ACDC. As for kangaroos not being able to dodge how could they not be able to dodge? They dodge a lot quicker then any human ever could. Kangaroo top speed is 70km/hour or 44 mph. sustain 40k/hr or 25mph for 2 kilometers. They leap 9 meters in a single bound. and can get up to 2 meters tall.

[@clintizzo7693]

A sense of humor is a terrible thing to lack.

[@James_Loveless]

Australians don't have music Ever heard of AC/DC
