Alternate Film Title: “Harry Potter Joins Toon Squad.”
And the huge number of cameos and Easter eggs in this movie will have your jaw dropped to the ground.
Luckily, the amateur sleuths on Twitter helped us unbox the dozens of cameos, most of which came from the DEEP vault at Warner Brothers properties.
Here are the tweets with all the details:
1.
For starters, there was an appearance of Big Chungus (aka Fat Bugs Bunny), the famous internet meme.
I watched the new Space Jam today and in the movie Bugs turns into Big Chungus and a kid in the theater lost his shit so hard his mom had to take him outside. I forgot the whole movie on the way home.
2.
We also received several old-fashioned Looney Tunes Easter Eggs like this photo of Yosemite Sam in the barbershop.
The portrait of Yosemite Sam in the background is a modified version of his scene from the Looney Tunes Show. I’m surprised I even noticed it. #Space Jam
3.
Or the appearance of the game Nintendo Game Boy Crazy castle which featured Bugs Bunny.
Okay, sorry sorry, Space Jam 2 spoilers are coming. I can’t put images in a spoiler tag but I need to talk … . . …. I’m losing my mind about how Crazy Castle is a plot point in LeBron’s origin story. Like, not even a fun Easter egg in the background, DEDICATED TIME TO REAL SCREEN
4.
As well as references to LeBron’s career.
As much as the new “Space Jam” tries to glorify LeBron, at least it includes a realistic first scene: young LeBron misses a last-second shot. Yes, it started early.
6.
And that from TNT, which something tells me was less pre-planned than Nike’s sponsor.
7.
My future husband, Steven Yeun, showed up for a cameo appearance as an executive for Warner Bros.
13.
And Don Cheadle disguised himself as Bill Belichick.
Little nod to Bill Belichick in the new Space Jam Movie. Although they have the dreaded hoodie that trains the Goon Squad
14.
The WB water tower can be seen in the background.
The water tower is also in Space Jam. I was so happy when I saw the water tower that the anima are my favorite show.
16.
Since Warner Bros. owns DC Comics, we’ve seen a lot of DC characters appear, like when Bugs and LeBron fought crime as Batman and Robin.
If there’s one thing I learned after watching “Space Jam: A New Legacy” it’s that LeBron is a Robin and he’ll never be a Batman.
17.
Or when Batman himself showed up in the audience for the last basketball game.
21.
As are two different versions of Batman’s nemesis, the Penguin.
Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait … it’s DANNY DeVITO * AND * BURGESS MEREDITH PENGUINS ?! AND THE MASK? !!! #Space Jam
23.
And even this random guy from Batman Returns is here.
@mrsundaymovies @wikipediabrown #weeklyplanetpod just wanted to point out that the new Space Jam includes the guy Batman set on fire in Batman Returns
24.
Warner Bros. took advantage of their Harry potter properties and included Lord Voldemort as a basketball spectator.
Have you all seen #voldemort in #SpaceJamANewLegacy?!?! @spacejammovie #harrypotter #easteregg #cameo #SpaceJam
25.
And we learn that LeBron is actually a Hufflepuff.
@RachelLoveDisny saw space jam … Harry Potter scene … he’s in Hufflepuff! WE HAVE BABY LEBRON FREAKING JAMES !!!!!!!
27.
And then the War Boys show up to the game.
I’m sure others have pointed it out, but are those FURY ROAD War Boys in the new SPACE JAM? Odd. (However, if Leto Joker shows up to talk about contacts with Elmer Fudd? Instant Five Stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️)
29.
They inserted Yosemite Sam in Casablanca.
Oh. My. God. I don’t even know what to say… it literally left me speechless. #SpaceJamANewLegacy #Casablanca #SpaceJam #SpaceJamMovie # SpaceJam2
30.
And of course reused the iconic line from the film.
Say what you want from the new Space Jam movie, but I’m still dead from that song Casablanca / Yosemite Sam “Play it, Sam”
35.
People were particularly excited about the Obtained references (and of course the dragons).
38.
King Kong and The Iron Giant watched LeBron fight his son on the pitch.
I watched the Space Jam 2 trailer again and noticed the moment King Kong and the Iron Giant’s Fist exploded.
39.
Although this version of the Iron Giant appears to be from Loan Player One.
The funniest thing about The Iron Giant in Space Jam 2 is that they even reused his CGI model from Ready Player One.
40.
The Gremlins also showed up.
Space Jam: A New Legacy was fun. A few funny moments, some I rolled my eyes on, but overall a nice sequel. I still prefer #SpaceJam. Loved seeing Stripe & two Gremlins before the Dom-Ball basketball game too. #SpaceJamMovie #SpaceJamANewLegacy # SpaceJam2
44.
… who treated us with the slogan of Friday night lights, the show where he made his debut.
when michael b jordan showed up in space jam and did the friday night lights “eyes clear, hearts full …” singing i was the only person in the theater screaming “CAN’T NOT LOSE “
