Space Jam 2: Skate Jam - What Happened to this Unmade Movie?

In the world of pop culture crossovers, few are as iconic as the 1996 film Space Jam. Starring basketball legend Michael Jordan alongside the beloved Looney Tunes characters, it became a cultural phenomenon that captured the hearts of fans worldwide. But what if there was another
crossover in the works that would have taken the 2000s by storm? Enter Skate Jam, the unmade film that almost brought together skateboarding icon Tony Hawk and the zany world of the Looney Tunes. Why didn't this film get made? Let's find out together here on What Happened To This Unmade Movie?

Skate Jam couldn't have been any worse than the *REAL* Space Jam sequel we actually got.

[@lupinthenerd439]

yes it would

[@wstine79]

I would've love a Tony Hawk Space Jam movie.

[@claymathewselevator8121]

Same

[@Omar-wq9dz]

Pitch Meeting of Space Jam was actually pretty funny

[@ToejamandEarl1983]

I always thought they should have made one with the rock and called it space slam.

[@Omar-wq9dz]

I’m glad people out there like Space Jam, but it’s just not a movie I ever got into, and I’m someone who loves Looney Tunes

[@daniexists6]

So, I had spoken to an animator who had worked at WB at the time and had actually worked on, among other stuff, Animaniacs and the original Space Jam. And, in the shortest way I can put it..... up until a few years ago, there was never a serious attempt at a Space Jam 2 sans-Michael Jordan. They tried to do a 2 because the soundtrack rights alone made them so much money, but then MJ himself said "No fucking way." So the stuff here with a Tony Hawk iteration, a similarly alleged Jackie Chan film "Spy Jam" and the like were all busy work for the animators to hide the fact that they had no idea what was gonna happen.

This is my favorite idea out of the proposed Jam series, I like Tony Hawk and it would’ve been sick to see him Skate with the Looney Tunes with epic tricks and moves, it probably would’ve had an amazing soundtrack with a Pop Punk/Skate Punk soundtrack like the Tony Hawk video games. It’s really a shame that it never happened cause it could’ve been a goofy fun popcorn movie, but Tony Hawk did get to star in a movie… Tony Hawk’s Boom Boom Sabotage… yeah not a good trade off.

[@neonicon8500]

I would have LOVED this movie I know i would have

[@RushedAnimation]

I'd rather get Looney Tunes: Back in Action Again, followed by Space Jam: A Newer Legacy two decades later, and then Looney Tunes: Back in Action Again 2, and Space Jam: An Even Newer Legacy two decades after that, ad infinitum

[@Aragorn7884]

Divine intervention stopped this from being made 😅😇

[@theScrupulousBerserker]

@ 07:13 they weren't enforced, it was a mandate. An offer, effectively.

[@ScarysReviews]

DAMN, this would have been better than Space Jam legacy, had ONLY they did a different sport each sequel. Skate jam would have been AWESOME, then the Looney tunes could have been unlockable characters in the newest Tony Hawk. The 3rd, Space Slam, looney tunes WRESTLING, the spin off game. then Space Jam: Rock out, the Looney Tunes start a band. Then, Race jam: car drivers. had those bonkers Producers had ANY IDEA, we'd of had an amazing franchise of great sequels.

[@Aragorn7884]

*WB Executive:* ANY Popular Sportstar x Jam = 💰 🙄🤦

[@billythekid22220]

This movie would have been 10000000x better then that horrible remake with lebum.

[@thecunninlynguist]

I wonder if hawk wouldve been worse of an actor between bron and jordan

[@claymathewselevator8121]

Shanghai Jam and add Owen Wilson 😂

[@MutantsInDisguise]

It could've been better than the disastrous Space Jam we got.

[@MrTruehoustonian]

This would've been better then the new space jam with Bron James

[@nerdgiant4101]

Would have been 1,000 times better than that LeBron sequel that was complete garbage.

[@deanraney1049]

Spy jam lol. Starring jacki chan.

[@spacejam8765]

Love Space Jam.

[@mishkofrydrysek7445]

Tony Hawks Skate Jam game! Yes!!

[@alexanderschneider1772]

I dont understand, why they made this horrible sequel and didnt do Skate-Jam instead... in the 2000 this would have been awesome...

[@DustinDollinsShinBone]

Imagine what the promotional decks would be going for today if this had happened.

[@wisconsinrebelhomes7587]

We deserved this movie with Tony Hawk

[@allnamesaretakenful]

I was 17 when Space Jam came out and I didn't care for it. Was I just too old?

[@ThatSoddingGamer]

Yeah, it might have turned out well, but I can't see it being made now. Skateboarding just doesn't have the same huge following that it had in the 90's and early 2000's. As much as I wouldn't care for it, I'd sooner expect them to do some sort of eSports thing, like a Fortnite knockoff (or even the actual Fortnite game). Like, they have to win some sort of multi genre game tournament or they'll get sidelined by some modern edgy characters; they need to prove that they can 'appeal to the kids of today' or some such nonsense excuse. They'll enlist the help of some eSports group or other (real or fictional) to help them win.

[@dnc411]

Shaun White did just retire 🤔🤔🤔

[@TheChrisHype]

Of all the movies listed, Spy Jame would have easily been the best. It’s weird to think that the novel idea would be to team up the Looney Tunes characters with an actual actor.

[@johnnyd3158]

It would have been nice if Berserk-O could have at least been used for another Looney Tunes project, such as Duck Dodgers, instead of letting him go to waste.

[@Reesfamilygaming]

I haven’t watched the sequel. But I miss Pepe Le pew.

[@seereadnhear]

It wasn't that bad of a film but saying it was a juggernaut in the box office is a little much

[@georgethimakis4710]

I like 3 and 4 better than the 1st two but i still like all 4 and don't t skip the remake its worth watching just for the names in it atleast once lol

[@RaulGonzalez-re9fh]

There rather have a Marvel movie a connected universe than that makes sense a lot for that subject not just another franchise mixed together

[@parkerpshebnisky1051]

Back in action was the only good loony toons movie!

[@harrybaulskaky9942]

I watched just the intro and I'm going to guess it didn't get made cause Tony is a white male.

[@Dr_1212]

😆🤔

[@tatvela6915]

5:28 you just made the possible movie sound like a no for most
