I think we can all agree that the Mighty Ducks series is one of the greatest movie trilogys ever made. How many times have we seen these movies? How many great quotes and legendary movie moments has this amazing franchise blessed us with?
In my opinion, Mighty Ducks 2 stands out as the most entertaining and memorable of the three. In this sequel we witnessed the birth of the Bash Brothers, we were introduced to the Knucklepuck (how many times have you tried to perform the Knucklepuck in your driveway? It completely breaks the laws pf physics), we met Wolf the Dentist Stanton, and who can forget perhaps the most memorable line of all three movies: "GOOOLDBERG?"
Now, putting aside all the great things about the sequel, I can't help but express my discomfort with a few details in the movie. Let's paint the picture. It is time for the Junior Goodwill Olympic Games in California. Teenagers from all over the world will represent their country in the Games. Now, America has to decide how to choose the best team to represent them, and what do they do? They choose the Pee-Wee Championship team from Minneapolis, Minnesota? The Pee-Wee Mighty Ducks? Are you serious? There was no one better in the whole country? Do you really think Lester Averman should be representing the U.S.A?
But it gets worse. Don Tibbles decides that he will add the five greatest players from around the country to assists the Ducks in the competition. Five greatest players? One of them can't stop. One of them is a Cowboy. One of them is a Figure Skater!
And Charlie, for G-d sakes, stop whining about not being a Duck! How old are you? "Wahhhh, we can't be Team USA, we're the Ducks!" Some captain.

WOO WOO KENNY WOO!!!! It is true that D2 is the best of the Duck trilogy. The Bash Brothers are still people I strive to be every day of my life. Several comments I have on D2. A) Julie "the cat" should have replaced Goldberg in the first 5 minutes of the try out, period. Gordon's got some serious coaching skills to learn besides ice beachball. And why is Trinidad the other team represented on the cover?! It should be USA and Iceland. Iceland are the badguys. Trinidad is the biggest joke game of the 3 films, yet they are the ones blowing gum bubbles against the ducks, a picture which is awkward enough as it is (what happened after they took that picture, i don't wana know). Also, after they all did the magic roll call right before they went out for the final period, you know you were all waiting for Hanz to say: "And I am Hanz, from the mighty nation of Germany!!!!" (maybe that was just me). Don't you all remember that moment? You know, right before Hanz (later to be replaced in D3 by the king from the epic film: A Kid in King Arthur's Court and the abdguy from Lethal Weapon 2) whipped out the Ducks jerseys that i guess he'd been working on since the beggining of the movie in anticipation of them watning to switch unforms??? Hmm.... Anyway, to close: PUT IT IN LUIS!!!!!!
