[edit] Reference to MIB?

"One scene references Pulp Fiction, with Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam dressed as killers and "Misirlou" in the background. This is also presumably a reference to Men In Black." Didn't Men in Black come out in 1997? If so, how can this film, released in 1996, reference it? Undersea

how old are you wack'd about wiki? This was a childrens movie and was aimed mainly towards them,note the comic actions and exaggerations done by the characters to show they're intentions. This was a great movie that iloved when iwas 4yrs old and still do. this movie beats shaq's Kazaam by a thousand.24.66.94.140 19:49, 4 September 2006 (UTC)hope.

[edit] Canon

"Reviews of the movie were generally negative. Many critics compared it unfavorably to Who Framed Roger Rabbit, a popular film in which cartoon characters and live-action humans coexisted in the same film as well.[1] Basketball fans thought the movie to be demeaning to the sport, and to Michael Jordan himself. Many of them also claim it was not canon, despite referencing real-life events."

Who claims it's not canon? Basketball fans? This appears to be saying that basketball fans refuse to accept that Space Jam actually happened to Michael Jordan. I'd change it, but I'm not even sure what it's supposed to be saying Lore Sjoberg 22:17, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Success or Failure

Alright, alright, I'm totally confused. The movie was successful or negative? The reception or the movie says that "Reviews of the movie were generally negative.", but the Looney Tunes article says that "Space Jam was somewhat succesful despite it's odd plot". Space Jam is good or bad? User:Leader Vladimir

[edit] Answer to your questions

Actually, the film got negative reviews. The film itself grossed well over 90 million dollars, making it a success. However, negative and successful may lie in the eye of the journalist!

By JS

Then, in conclusion, Space Jam is both a critical failure and a financial success. User:Leader Vladimir

[edit] Final Score between Monstars and Toon Squad

I watched the Vcd yesterday and the final score of the basketball game between the Monstars and the Toon Squad was 77-78. How could it be 86-88? User: Ken Seng1991

It's really a trivial detail- it's enough to say "they won". --Wafulz 05:43, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nerdlucks

I think the Nerdlucks should have their own page. You know, with more specific character descriptions and pictures. I know there is a page for themselves along with the Monstars, but it's much too basic.--Sharpay Evans 07:46, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Actually I think the Monstars page needs to be merged into here. This article is poorly written and way too long. It doesn't need sub-articles right now. --Wafulz 15:31, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

The movie's credits says the names of the five NERDLUCKS/MONSTARS are POUND, BLANKO, BUPKUS, NAWT and BANG. However, the article says that four of them are named NULL, NADA, ZILCH and VOID. I didn't get it.Brazilian Man 14:02, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Plot summary

At over 1000 words, the "plot summary" was actually a blow-by-blow account of the film. I've replaced it with a more encyclopedic (and much briefer) one from an older revision of the article [1]. --Tony Sidaway 03:21, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Props to ya! Thanks; I couldn't seem to accomplish trimming down the plot "summary" myself, as I may be too close to the subject. Once again, thanks! — Cinemaniac (talk • contribs) 03:24, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
