Oh man, when Bombay walks away with that epic score (music). Tears me up every time! You think about the beginning of the series. Just like the kids at the start of the series, he was in a rough place. Him and the players worked to get themselves in a better place. The scene where is he walking away means that his job is done. The Ducks can fly on their own now. Edit June 2024: another thought lol. The fact that teachers in this country are so disrespected. Are all teachers good? No but there are those that honestly have such a positive impact that students remember and love them long after their teachers are gone. That’s Bombay (coaches are teachers) and Mr. Feeny while we’re at it lol!

[@87alsjth]

+bballfanism Yeah that made no sense to me. So unless the teams have their own separate mascots 😒 then the mascot shouldn't have been changed lol. The Warrior name happened when the school was established it seems. Meaning, the mascot is way older than the students lol!

As I kid I misinterpreted that bombay shot completely. I think I was interpreting as either the warriors players were secretly led by him and that was a final test for the ducks or He was going to be coaching the warriors in Mighty Ducks 4 lol. That ending really got to me too though!

Loved that little clip at the end where Charlie looks at Gordon sitting in the crowd. That sign of acknowledgment from Bombay, who now realizes that he's taught all he can to Charlie and his teammates about being a true team.....as he takes one final look before departing as Varsity heads back to the locker room......simply astounding.

[@82sonni]

I’ll bet some of them retire from Hockey because they refuse to officially wear the duck jersey.

[@bizzy24100]

well technically if a majority of those Varsity players were seniors then yes after all they would presumably move on 2 a big DI school or something and play hockey there

[@LeoWhalen1933]

Not just what Bombay taught them, but how they taught Bombay...

[@jonathanwatson4773]

Every time I see that part, I always believed that was Charlie and Bombay thanked one another, it wqs a sign of reverence and honor from both sides

[@jonathanwatson4773]

When i see Charlie and Bombay look at one another, i feel theres a double meaning, like a father proud of a son moment. And then it transitioned to a goodbye-farewell-thank you for everything scene and the music sets the scene. Theres a sense of reverence and gratitude between the two that made it worthwhile

[@patrickgray5633]

Well remember in the first one Bombay & Charlie sharing stories about their dads Bombay his passed away & Charlies ran out on him so they had to be the man of the house real fast.

[@davidsieradzki5261]

Great ending. Not just with Bombay, but also the varsity team walking off the ice with their tails between their legs. Loved that since the goalie Scooter was seemingly the only player on the varsity who didn't have a hateful vendetta against the Ducks during the movie.

[@retrostuff8976]

What a amazing finale for a trilogy. That scene when bombay walks out always gets to me. It's like the perfect ending. One last smile to his old kids. It's like letting them be on there own. Almost a passing of the torch to Oreilly.

The three duck players that were defining on the 5-3 for the last two minutes were the ones who scored the game winning goals in the three movies they played in no joke. Conway in part 1, Banks in part 2, and Goldberg in part 3.

[@21beast99]

Anyone else finds it badass when Charlie and the captain of the varsity team face off at the beginning of the game along with the soundtrack?

[@markcotton2898]

Charlie was always the leader .. always the captain coach knew he was .. but his failure to adapt to the new style of play made coach orien do something he didn’t want to do and not award him the C before the end. Once Charlie adapted you could see the respect and love with coach orien.

It just goes to show you; when Bombay looked at his ducks he meant one statement: "When the winds blows and the sky is black, no matter how far apart we are; DUCKS FLY TOGETHER!" 4:59

[@kkkyleeeee]

is no one gonna talk about how Adam was the only one who got into varsity and he still wanted to be on the duck team and then he gave up varsity to play with the ducks even though the were kinda mean to him while he was on varsity he's one of the strongest players like on the first one he went unconscious just to make a goal and in the 2nd one he was still the best player with a injured arm

So damn frustrating that a sequel with illogical stuff has a terrific exciting ending

[@thebroham21]

This movie made my childhood worth it, I am so glad that I have the triple pack on DVD.👍👍

[@Mayonidas05]

My biggest concern looking back on this movie is that they missed the mark on character development. The biggest two targets were Charlie and Coach Orion. But if we look at it deeper they could have paid attention to the other key players. After all, Goldberg went from second string goalie, to defensive powerhouse. Banks once again learned that a team is where your heart is, and his was always with the ducks. They could have even cut to Portman in Chicago before he suited up with the ducks again. Not saying it wasn't a good movie. It will always be a classic but I realized they missed some marks.

[@anglobostonian]

Goldberg didn't go from second string goalie to defenseman. He was the first string goalie in both D1 and D2. It was only at the end of D2 when Julie "The Cat" Gaffney- whom everyone and their mother knew was the superior goaltender- FINALLY got the chance to prove her worth.

[@Mayonidas05]

@@anglobostonian you missed the point of my post. The point was that there was more characters who developed aside from charlie and coach orion

[@ssian5678]

^^D3 is like the bare bones of a decent movie, that unfortunately seems too rushed & sloppy to hit the mark emotionally every time. It's better than the flashy clichéd color-by-numbers D2, but lacks the essential grounding that made D1 so special. Sadly D3 was also too heavy on Charlie/Bombay as an arc to the detriment of the team story which was the point of the original film. I love your idea for a Portman scene in Chicago before returning, maybe with him talking to Fulton 1-on-1 about why he stayed away. D3 also needed introspective scenes for the OG players Connie/Guy & Averman and for Kenny (I would cut Luis & the cheerleader and some of the Linda scenes to make time for that). We needed to see more dilemma amongst the Ducks - who wanted to go pro besides Adam? Who wanted to move away to College after grad? Who wanted or needed to give up playing to focus on something else like Orion? Who was drifting away from the Ducks' social circle as they got older? Missed opportunity.

Asmosis Jones The 3rd movie is a nonsensical embarrassment with a great exciting climax and ending.
