Kangaroo Jack is a buddy-action/comedy flick disguised as a talking-kangaroo comedy aimed at kids from Warner Bros. Pictures. It was produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, and stars Jerry O'Connell, Anthony Anderson, Christopher Walken, Estella Warren, Michael Shannon, Marton Csokas, and features Adam Garcia as the voice of Kangaroo Jack.Charlie Carbone (O'Connell) wants to make his stepfather (Walken) happy. He has his own beauty salon, and he does well, but certain complications keep him from turning more than a bare profit—complications like mob payments. Oh, and by the way, this local mob is controlled by Salvatore "Sal" Maggio. Who happens to be Charlie's stepdad. So, obviously, Charlie wants to make his stepdad happy, because when Sal is unhappy, people tend to disappear.After Charlie and his best friend Louis Booker (Anderson) botch their first job delivering stolen televisions (bringing the police down on Maggio's people), Sal's apprentice Frankie (Shannon) decides to give them one more chance to redeem themselves, by delivering $50,000 to a Mr. Smith (Csokas) in Australia, and if they have any trouble, just call Mr. Smith and he will take care of everything. Too bad Sal has given Smith special instructions to "take care of" Charlie and Louis. And things go from bad to worse when a kangaroo runs off with the money they are supposed to deliver...Although the film was initially shot as a full-on R-rated gangster comedy to be entitled Down and Under, it was hastily edited down for a PG rating at the last minute, and the film's marketing instead spun it as a kid-friendly Buddy Picture featuring a talking kangaroo (despite said kangaroo only having a scant few minutes of screen time, and only "talking" in a brief dream sequence). It eventually released in January 2003, and was almost universally panned by critics, gaining widespread infamy for its deceptive marketing and expectedly rather adult overtones left over from the original cut. The ploy worked, however, as it became a modest hit at the box-office (grossing over USD 150 million worldwide) during its brief theatrical run.An animated sequel entitled Kangaroo Jack: G'Day U.S.A.! was produced by Warner Bros. Animation and released Direct to Video in 2004. It notably redressed a lot of the original’s complaints by being both far more straightforwardly kid-friendly and giving the titular kangaroo an actual prominent role in the story. | |

The Millstone: Louis causes pretty much everything bad that happens. Subverted, though, as the one really big mistake he makes ends up saving their lives and Louis was the one who unintentionally gave Charlie the idea he used to become a millionaire. | |

Never Trust a Trailer | |
| Kangaroo Jack / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: Or even a poster or a DVD cover either. This movie is not about a wise-cracking, talking kangaroo, and it is more surrealistic than actually kid-friendly despite the PG rating. He does talk in the animated sequel, thanks to a magic spell. Word of God has it that this movie was intended to be a straightforward adult comedy, with the kangaroo's appearance originally never played up beyond its status as a brief gag. However, test audiences were completely uninterested in the bulk of the movie and only responded well to the kangaroo, so the aforementioned scene was extended and the whole film itself was instead spun as though it were a kids’ comedy film about the titular kangaroo in the hopes of drawing in more audiences. | |

Magical Negro: Louis can be seen as this type of character. His entire story arc is about Charlie and in the end it's revealed that he is either responsible or has played a role in every good thing that happened in Charlie's life. Because of Louis, Charlie was saved from drowning as a child, got the idea to use the berries for a new line of shampoo and met Jessie who he later married. Even the misfortune ended up saving their lives and got Charlie's draconian, mobster stepfather and step-brother convicted. | |

If Jack hadn't revived when he did, it wouldn't have lead to the goose chase and would've lead to Charlie and Louis death since the money was meant to payment for a hit on the two. What's more, Charlie realizes his self-worth through the whole experience and finally stands up to Sal which results in Sal's arrest at the end of the film. | |

Overly Long Gag: The entire bathroom chat between Charlie and Louis, rife with Toilet Humor and a hurricane of Double Entendres. Louis commenting on Jessie's rack, gesturing so much that even Charlie looks disturbed. | |

Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal | |
| Kangaroo Jack / int_a236dd4c | comment |
Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal: Charlie and Louis run into a kangaroo with their truck. Louis then puts his red lucky jacket with the $50,000 in the jacket on the kangaroo and take their pictures. The kangaroo then wakes up and takes off with Louis red jacket and they go on a wild chase after the Kangaroo wearing only the red jacket with money in it. Later on in the cartoon sequel Kangaroo Jack: G'Day, U.S.A.!, the kangaroo still wears the red jacket but still doesn't have shoes or pants on, except when he boxes, he wears shorts but no shirt. | |

Obfuscating Stupidity | |
| Kangaroo Jack / int_a7aef9ff | comment |
Obfuscating Stupidity: Mr Jimmy the Indigenous Australian guide who is later revealed to be an undercover police officer on the trail of the hitman, Mr Smith. He doesn't act very intelligent, and also comes across as a rather stereotypical portrayal of an indigenous Australian. It's revealed that it was an act and he is actually articulate, well-spoken, multicultural police officer. | |

I Told You So: While Charlie makes light of Louis's "Lucky Jacket" putting the money in the jacket and the jacket on Jack was the luckiest thing that could have happened. Furthermore, all the trouble Louis got Charlie into while wearing that jacket brought them to a point where they become rich and happy. Louis takes a moment to say it out loud once Charlie points out just how lucky it turned out to be. | |

Wicked Stepmother: Sal is A Gender Flipped example to Charlie. Though he helps his stepson set up his own beauty salon per the wishes of his wife and Charlie's mother, he has his men take eighty percent of the profits Charlie makes each week, leaving Charlie with barely enough to make ends meets and unable to improve his business. It turns out that he has no affection for Charlie whatsoever when Frankie reveals to Charlie and Louis that the entire point of them going to Australia to deliver the fifty grand to Smith in the first place was so Sal could pay Smith for executing them. | |

Land Down Under: To a ridiculous extent. All there is in Australia is desert, according to this film. And everyone is drunk, all the time. It says a lot about the representation that most Australians, who don't mind playing up the stereotypical idea of their country, were more than a little insulted by how the country was presented. | |

Irony | |
| Kangaroo Jack / int_c335b9ec | comment |
Irony: Charlie says that Louis' "Lucky Jacket" has never brought him good luck. But from the moment Louis takes it off and puts it on the kangaroo, not only do things keep going From Bad to Worse for them, but whenever it seems like things are finally starting to go their way, something happens that makes the situation even worse. For example: Louis and Charlie get a personal number for a pilot to help them find the kangaroo, only to find that it's the man that just blacked out right in front of them. Then later when they do find Jack and try to tranquilize him, a sudden shift causes Louis to accidentally tranq the pilot instead, causing them to crash the plane and have to walk through the desert. Later when they see Jackie again with Jessie and try to ambush him, it fails because Louis had ants in his pants and his pain-filled screams gave them away just before it would've worked. They decide to just try again tomorrow, but by then it's too late because Mr. Smith and his goons find them before they even wake up. Then when Louis is finally able to get the money back, he nearly falls off of a cliff to his death. But probably the biggest irony is that if they hadn't put the money in the jacket, put the jacket on the kangaroo, and gone through all of that, then they would've delivered the money to Mr. Smith, and he would've killed them. This fact is enough to make Charlie admit that Louis's lucky jacket is in fact lucky. Also, these events allow them to start a successful company and for Charlie to fall in love and marry, something he was convinced he would never be able to do in the beginning of the movie | |

Word of God | |
| Kangaroo Jack / int_cc4b45f6 | comment |
Word of God has it that this movie was intended to be a straightforward adult comedy, with the kangaroo's appearance originally never played up beyond its status as a brief gag. However, test audiences were completely uninterested in the bulk of the movie and only responded well to the kangaroo, so the aforementioned scene was extended and the whole film itself was instead spun as though it were a kids’ comedy film about the titular kangaroo in the hopes of drawing in more audiences. | |

Toilet Humor: On the plane's toilet, Charlie and Louis discuss a bag of money, but the phrasing makes it sound they're discussing a pile of poop. Cue various concerned and disgusted reactions from the passengers overhearing. During the duo’s trek through the desert with Jessie, the camels they are riding start passing a lot of gas. While Jessie assures them this is normal, Charlie and Louis can’t stand the smell and thus resort to countering it with the mysterious berries they find. | |

Artistic License – Geography | |
| Kangaroo Jack / int_e9f517e1 | comment |
Artistic License – Geography: One gets the impression that the American scriptwriters haven’t so much as glanced at a map of Australia. Frankie tells Charlie and Louis to fly to Sydney, and from there drive due north to Coober Pedy. In reality, Coober Pedy is west-northwest from Sydney (and a 2000-kmnote 1250 mi drive, in case anyone's interested). And then they somehow end up in Alice Springs, nearly 700 kmnote about 440 mi north of Coober Pedy. | |

Good Luck Charm: Louis's red jacket is a zigzagged example. On the one hand, Charlie points that he and Louis have had nothing but misfortune befall them in all the time Louis has been wearing the jacket. But then it is revealed that the money Charlie and Louis were supposed to deliver to Smith was payment for their execution on Sal's orders. Charlie has a complete turnaround regarding the jacket at the end, saying that if Louis hadn't put the money in the jacket and then put the jacket on the kangaroo, they would have delivered the money to Smith without incident and been killed by him as Sal wanted. | |

Pet the Dog: Subverted with what Sal tends to for Charlie. He did not complain when Charlie refused to take up the Maggio name and even helped his stepson set up his own beauty parlor, but he only did the latter out of respect for Charlie's mother and has his men seize eighty percent of the profits Charlie makes each week, leaving Charlie with not enough to make improvements to his business. Though upset with Charlie and Louis for leading the NYPD to his warehouse and having many of his stolen goods seized, he allows the two a chance to redeem themselves to him by giving them a mission to travel to Australia to deliver a package to a man called Mr. Smith. At the film's climax, Frankie tells them that Sal was never giving them a second chance; he was only sending them to pay Mr. Smith to execute them for him. | |
