negative · AI labelView post →Sneaking in and recovering a single reel of Kangaroo Jack, the rapping kangaroo movie with Jerry O’Connell, all the rest can burn for all I care. I have the precious.
positive · AI labelView post →In episode two of The Walking Dead, out in the woods you encounter an abandoned station wagon full of supplies that you can choose to steal and not give back. As a result of that choice, Clementine ends up wearing a hoodie inspired by the poster for the 2003 movie "Kangaroo Jack."
neutral · AI labelView post →As a kangaroo I will never ever forgive the movie "Kangaroo Jack" for LYING to me making it seem the movie was about the kangaroo but only had him in it for like 12 minutes, so I decided to make MY LIFE about roos UwU
negative · AI labelView post →When property rights and weird Warner Bros shit destroys the ability to watch any other movie I will send a single sealed invitation to Martin Scorsese to watch the original print of Kangaroo Jack with me, we will drink fine brandy, he will say “this picture has a lot going for it”
positive · AI labelView post →[Discussion] Someone should have gotten sued over Kangaroo Jack for deceiving trailer. If you grew up in the early 2000s, you probably saw a trailer for Kangaroo Jack. The trailer gives the impression that the movie is a screwball road trip comedy about two friends and their wacky, talking Kangaroo sidekick. Except it’s not that. It’s an extremely unfunny movie about two idiots escaping the mob. There’s a random kangaroo in it for like 5 minutes and he only talks during a hallucination scene…

negative · AI labelView post →Thinking of the great party movies: movies to play during a party. Rocky Horror is like the ur party movie. Spy Kids 4. Kangaroo Jack might be a sleeper great party movie. What else
neutral · AI labelView post →Just watch it in English if you don't speak German.

positive · AI labelView post →Does anyone remember the extreme disappointment of watching the Kangaroo Jack trailer and thinking “oh cool a movie about a talking kangaroo” but then you watched it and it was just two dudes running around
negative · AI labelView post →>My Discord chat is arguing about something stupid with Bloodborne movie rumors Me: SHUTUP! I WANT TO HEAR THE KANGAROO JACK VIDEO ESSAY!
neutral · AI labelView post →Does anyone remember the hit 2003 film Kangaroo Jack? And also, would?
neutral · AI labelView post →Disney owes me an apology, in /2002/ I was promised a movie about talking Dogs (Snow Dogs) and only a year later /2003/ Warner Bros. (Who also owe me an apology) Put out Kangaroo Jack... I was promised a movie about a talking kangaroo
negative · AI labelView post →Jerry Bruckheimer, the consummate movie producer, on the red carpet at the KANGAROO JACK premiere with a live kangaroo.
neutral · AI labelView post →Kangaroo Jack is a strange phenomenon of a film, but it also gave me one of the strangest quotes to ever come from Christopher Walken's mouth:
neutral · AI labelView post →Kangaroo Jack. Picture this: You've been suckered in to watching a movie where they promised a talking, rapping kangaroo only to find out that it was only a hallucination and the kangaroo didn't really talk. And it had a forgettable plot... 13 year old me was furious! Lol
negative · AI labelView post →Kangaroo Jack >Kangaroo Jack's premise, trailer, and commercials promise little more than the spectacle of two enthusiastic actors being kicked over and over again by a sassy, computer-animated kangaroo—and, sadly, the film fails to deliver even that. Feelsbadman
negative · AI labelView post →Sometimes the CGI kangaroo from Kangaroo Jack comes over to my house. "I'm sorry I was barely in that movie" he tells me. "It's ok, it was marketing's fault, you had no idea" I reassure him, but I know he'll be back
neutral · AI labelView post →Don’t… watch Kangaroo Jack. It infamously tricked us into watching a movie about a talking kangaroo that never existed.
negative · AI labelView post →Oh man I've been waiting for this question for YEARS. The answer is Kangaroo Jack. This was the poster for Kangaroo Jack. The trailer for Kangaroo Jack made it seem like it was a funny adventure comedy about a kangaroo. Then you watch the movie - the kangaroo gets less than 90 seconds of screen time
negative · AI labelView post →Kangaroo Jack was such a funny event all anyone wanted was a bad talking animal movie
positive · AI labelView post →It's definitely one of the biggest "Never Trust A Trailer" stories of all time. right up there with Kangaroo Jack and Bridge to Terabithia For those who aren't aware... or just weren't around during those controversies - Kangaroo Jack - Was meant to be a stoner comedy about two guys chasing a kangaroo when they accidentally leave a jacket containing a mob boss' drug money, on a Kangaroo and have to track him down to get it back. When it tested poorly with audiences, the film was marketed as…
neutral · AI labelView post →If Kangaroo Jack was made in the 2020s, it would already be a film franchise with 4 spin-offs.
neutral · AI labelView post →Kangaroo Jack...I was legitimately outraged when I finally got to watch the movie after seeing trailers
negative · AI labelView post →Was explaining to my mother the horrors of the movie Kangaroo Jack, and found what may be my favourite sentence of all time in the Wikipedia article.
neutral · AI labelView post →You can do worse than Kangaroo Jack, worst thing about that movie was the marketing.
neutral · AI labelView post →5 year old me was apparently a fool for expecting a movie called Kangaroo Jack to be about a kangaroo
negative · AI labelView post →Katie finally watched Kangaroo Jack.
neutral · AI labelView post →Kangaroo Jack (2003) for me. It's not objectively good but I found it silly and fun, and it's one of my dad's favorite movies. Never really understood why it's so panned (9% critic and 29% audience on Rotten Tomatoes)
positive · AI labelView post →[Kangaroo Jack](https://youtu.be/SuyLeUjuT_k) They heavily featured the talking kangaroo that was only part of a short dream sequence in the movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Also Kangaroo Jack...I'll never forget how betrayed I felt after seeing that movie....It was then when I discovered how unfair and deceptive this world can truly be >_>
negative · AI labelView post →Kangaroo Jack G'day USA! (2004) Very much a direct to video type movie. Wouldn't say it's worth watching but it does have a lot of kangaroo in it which makes at least entertaining for me.
neutral · AI labelView post →Wanna come over and watch a movie I got Kangaroo Jack (2003) Inspector Gadget (1999) The Flintstones (1994) Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (2001) X-Men 2 (2002)
neutral · AI labelView post →There is no Kangaroo Jack: 3. YET. I am going to make it my life goal to produce this film.
neutral · AI labelView post →(At therapy) I think the trust issues stem from when I was a child - there was an ad campaign for the movie Kangaroo Jack, and it lead me to believe the movie was about a rapping kangaroo. But it was a terrible act of deceit; that was not what the movie was about at all. So that’s why I can’t love
neutral · AI labelView post →Michael Shannon showing up in Kangaroo Jack is such a fun party movie moment

neutral · AI labelView post →Kangaroo Jack (2003). (good film)
positive · AI labelView post →Hey I was watching Kangaroo Jack on HBO Max, I knew WB hated Looney Tunes but did they really have to make a new cut to include these two white guys screaming at the movie when it’s referenced? David Zaslav, I tell ya.
neutral · AI labelView post →Funny story; Kangaroo Jack originally wasn’t a kids movie. It was an r-rated crime movie that did so badly with test audiences, that the director went to the producers and said “gimme a couple extra bucks and I can make this movie about the kangaroo.” I am not joking, lmao
neutral · AI labelView post →couldn’t sleep and found a “funniest movie bloopers of all time” video that was mostly outtakes from Cop Out and Kangaroo Jack and censored the word “butt”
neutral · AI labelView post →am I the only one who thought Kangaroo Jack was gonna talk the whole movie
neutral · AI labelView post →(Sourced from these videos: youtu.be/FoFC801bM64 youtu.be/q0URO-_t2yE) To promote the animated film, Kangaroo Jack: G'Day U.S.A.!, a flash game was created that features Jackie Legs the kangaroo, as well as some anthropomorphised versions of animal characters that appear in the film!
neutral · AI labelView post →I remember they did that with Snow Dogs first, and I guess the Kangaroo Jack marketing team thought it was a brilliant move worth copying. Now that's really the only legacy those movies have anymore: conning kids into seeing a totally different movie than what they were teased with lmao
neutral · AI labelView post →Nobody in Hollywood has the stones to do full Kangaroo Jack -style false advertising anymore. If the Minecraft Movie came out in 2003, it would've been a regular live-action comedy about a father and son learning to bond in the suburbs. The scenes used in the trailer would be a 1min dream sequence.

XD)
neutral · AI labelView post →⚡Konbarai, Racckuchens! Hope y'all are having a cozy evening. I'm watching Kangaroo Jack with one of my partners for the first time. As funny as it is, I can see why she said that the movie itself is essentially one big publicity scam lol Also, my dinner from earlier. This was divine~
neutral · AI labelView post →Also: Kangaroo Jack, Bad Boys II and Daddy Daycare. Wasn’t a fantastic film year.
neutral · AI labelView post →Oh God, the Kangaroo Jack one was so egregious. I remember us renting that movie as a family and definitely feeling cheated that it's a fairly mundane comedy movie, no animated talking and singing kangaroos except for that single scene. Luckily I was quickly warned that Bridge of Terabithia, while being marketed as a Chronicles of Narnia ripoff, was actually kinda sad. I think it helped that it's based off a book so more people were familiar with the source material.
neutral · AI labelView post →People are talking crap about Tom Cruise’s “Digger” but I’m still not over what a lie “Kangaroo Jack” was. They advertised it as a kid’s movie with a rapping Kangaroo but it was a crappy adult buddy comedy for idk who.
negative · AI labelView post →Without saying your age, what is your favorite movie that came out when you were 20 years old? I wanted to like Kangaroo Jack, but it was a poo movie. Me and my first BF(a roo) went to see it together. But, of the movies I see on Wikipedia, I'm gonna say Pirate of the Caribbean: CotBP
negative · AI labelView post →Sorry for the confusion much like the widely panned film Kangaroo Jack the dog is only rapping in the trailer
neutral · AI labelView post →Give this movie a trailer with Britney Spear's Crazy in it, show off the most "wacky" moments, maybe a shot where everyone is screaming or even a burp or gross out shot, and you got yourself the Kangaroo Jack of animated films...for better or worse.
neutral · AI labelView post →"I don't care what anyone says, I like that movie "🎥 Kangaroo Jack
positive · AI labelView post →Kangaroo Jack is a terrible movie. The kangaroo only appears in the last 5 minutes despite the movie literally being named after him and all of the marketing focused on him
negative · AI labelView post →many people talk about how all the advertising was about a talking kangaroo but he barely talks in the movie. But not enough people know about how his name isn't even Kangaroo Jack. They just call him Jacky Legs.
neutral · AI labelView post →Finding out Trevor Rabin went into film scoring is really cool until you realize all the films are "Armageddon" and "Kangaroo Jack"
