I can't believe it! I was just flipping channels when I was bored earlier today and I saw this! I missed the first... 5-10 minutes of it, but it was on Cartoon Network and it was an animated sequel to Kangaroo Jack, which if you don't remember was that movie about the Kangaroo wearing that red jacket that said "Brooklyn" on the front, and these two guys named him Jackie Legs, and they chased him all over Australia because the jacket had a bunch of money in it.

Anyways, this movie is where the three main characters from the previous movie go back to Australia and they find Jackie Legs, and then he gets captured by poachers and taken to Las Vegas, where the main characters follow him, trying to free him and take him back to his home, and then it's this huge fiasco about trying to get him back, and the FBI and LVPD get involved because the kangaroo also had this collar made from stolen jewelry from the aborigines and all this stuff. It was kinda nice at the end, what happened, but I won't say much more because I'd spoil the movie if you all don't want me to do that.

First off, who knew that it even existed before now?
Second, if you've seen it, what do you think of it? I personally think it was a bit better than the original because it had a bit less toilet humor and less un-necessary humor.

EDIT:
I just found out about it (Wikipedia is awesome, isn't it?) and the title is "Kangaroo Jack: G'day USA!" and was made and distributed by Warner Brothers. It also has a rendition of LL Cool J's song "Mamma Said Knock You Out", which basically was just an Australian guy singing it.

I think that's saying something about how good the movie was... I mean, how many good movies are being shown during school hours on weekdays on cartoon channels?

I didn't know there was a sequel |O.

The first was very funny to watch, great movie. Unfortunately I don't have Cartoon Network so I'm betting on trying to pick the sequel up from a rental store.

Yeah, I knew about it, I have/had it on DVD. It wasn;t too bad as far as storyline and animation and the voice actors were good but I didn't like it as a sequel. In my opinion, if the first movie was Live action with a bit of CG then the sequel should be too. If you forget that it's meant as a sequel to KJ it's really good but it shouldn't have been a sequel.

That song was great too, on the DVD it's got the music video to it. XD
