After their first job attempt at delivering stolen televisions to a local warehouse was backfired by brining the heat (the NYPD), Sal, completely upset, gives Charlie and Louis one more chance at redemption. His younger employee, Frankie Lombardo, gives the guys the most important assignment: to fly to Australia and deliver the mob's $50,000 to a Mr. Smith in the exact time. And so begins a cross-content trek of mishaps including: ramming a kangaroo down on the road, flying in a bush airplane and tranquilizing the pilot, walking in the burning desert, and eventually teaming up with a wildlife expert named Jessie to chase down the kangaroo who has the the $50,000 mob money. Can Charlie, Louis, and Jessie survive the heat, get the money, and save the day without getting killed by the mob? |

Goofs

Continuity: When Charlie jumps into the lake with Jessie, he is wearing solid navy blue boxer shorts. Later when Charlie tells Louis to get his scissors out of his pocket, Louis lifts up his shirt and grabs the scissors and reveals that his boxer shorts have changed to green with a design, even though they are traveling with no additional clothes. Crew: In the car chase at the end, we see a camera in one shot, and a few crew members next to a large rock for a few seconds. Continuity: While the kangaroo kicking Charlie is shot in broad daylight, the reaction shot of Charlie falling on his back was clearly shot at near-dusk. Continuity: When Charlie is about to jump into the water fall pool with Jessie he is still wearing the "body paint" they used to disguise their scent from Kangaroo Jack. Before he jumps in, his paint disappears and reappears with each shot. He finally jumps in and without scrubbing at all, and comes out spotless and free of body paint. Fact errors: Kangaroos can not walk backwards. Continuity: When Charlie and Louis are walking through the desert, their shirts are on/off between shots. Continuity: When the airplane is about to crash the left wing strikes a chimney and breaks off. In the next shot the wing is back on. GEOG: Alice Springs is a modern town, with paved roads and home to approximately 27,000 people. Continuity: When in the jeep chasing Kangaroo Jack, Charlie hasn't got his seatbelt on. In the next shot Charlie has his seatbelt on. Continuity: When chasing Kangaroo Jack in the aircraft, Louis cocks the dart gun twice Continuity: After Louis and Charlie manage to take control of the situation with Smith's men, Charlie takes one of the men's shotguns. He cocks the gun twice, without firing it. The first time is when he first finds the gun, and the second is when Smith is trying to discourage him to not shoot him. Continuity: After Charlie and Louis hit the kangaroo and get out of the car, the Pepsi can in the back of the truck changes position. It starts on the left beside the bag and ends up on the right side beside the cooler. Continuity: Just before Charlie and Louis hit Kangaroo Jack the jeep's shadow shows that the sun is low in the sky on the left. After they hit the kangaroo, the sun is on the right. Just after the Kangaroo wakes up and jumps off the jeep, the sun is back on the left again. Revealing mistakes: When Charlie and Louis are on the Flight to Australia, in the exterior shot, the "PAN AM' on the aircraft is backwards. GEOG: When receiving their instructions while still in America, Charlie and Louis are told to drive north from Sydney to Coober Pedy to deliver the package to Mr Smith. Coober Pedy is in fact west of Sydney. Continuity: When Blue asks Charlie to take over before the plane crash, Charile doesn't have his goggles on. In the next shot, he's wearing them again. GEOG: When Charlie and Louis land in Sydney, you see the runway numbers depicting runway "24", which Sydney does not have Continuity: When chasing the kangaroo in their rental 4WD, an aerial shot shows it to be longer wheelbase with a spare wheel on the bonnet and a khaki colour. When it cuts back to a land based shot the car is dark blue, shorter and no spare wheel. Continuity: SPOILER: At the end when Louis jumps into the pool on the boat you see the dog, Waffles, dodge the water. when you see Waffles next he/she shakes the water off yet was never hit by it. CHAR: SPOILER: When Mr Jimmy arrives in the helicopter he shouts "Australian Police". Each state has its own separate police force, "Northern Territory Police", and there is also the "Federal Police", not known as "Australian Police". GEOG: Australians in this movie have a shotgun and a handgun. Guns were banned in Australia after the Port Arthur massacre in Tasmania, 1996. Fact errors: (At 1:11:30) We see Sal shooting a shotgun but there is no kickback of the gun and the way he is holding it (not too steady) there should be a kickback specially in that king of gun. |
Quotes

Louis: The kangaroo got the money! Charlie: What are you talking about? Louis: I put the money in the jacket, and the jacket on the kangaroo, and now he's hopping away! [Louis keeps driving into termite mounds] Charlie: Be careful Louis! You almost missed one! Charlie: I'm sorry for feeling your boobs I didn't think they were real. [they are running away from the cops] Louis: They're scaring Waffles! Charlie: Well, maybe you should have thought about that before taking your dog on a crime spree! Charlie: I just got my ass kicked by a marsupial. Charlie: On that fateful day twenty years ago, Louis Booker saved my life and I never forgot it. He wouldn't let me. Charlie: I think I just sweated out a bottle of Yoo-hoo I drank in the eighth grade. Kangaroo Jack: I can sing, I can dance, I can even do impersonations. [imitating Dr. Evil] Throw me a friggin' bone, here! I have a son! I shall call him... Mini Roo! Charlie: I am Bolo Man. Louis: That's what I'm talkin' about. Louis: Sal won't kill you. He's married to your mother. Charlie: If Sal Maggio thinks I stole his money, he'll kill me in front of my mother and then make her clean it up. Charlie: [sipping a rock he thinks is a slurpee] Brain freeze! Charlie: Look at her. She thinks she's so much smarter than us. Louis: I'm pretty sure she is, Charlie. Charlie: [Inappropriately touching Jessie's boobs] Louis, they feel so real. [Charlie chuckles] Louis: Mm-hmm [Charlie turns around; Jessie knocks him out with a canteen] Louis: [as a kangaroo] You know what, Sal? You were right about him. Chicken blood! Sal Maggio: Smell it on his father. Smell it on him. Chicken blood. Kangaroo Jack: Oy! Chicken blood! Louis, Sal Maggio, Kangaroo Jack: Chicken blood! Chicken blood! Chicken blood! Charlie: It's you. Kangaroo Jack: Yeah, it's me. Love the jacket, Charlie. It's hard to get something that fits my shoulders. Nice! How did you know Red was my favorite color? Charlie: [surprised] You can talk! Kangaroo Jack: And I can sing. [sings "Rapper's Delight"] Charlie: This is great. Kangaroo Jack: [singing from "Rapper's Delight"] /... see I am Jackie Legs and I like to say, "Hello" / To the black to the white... Charlie: Jackie? Mr. Legs, if you would find your way clear to give me back my money? Kangaroo Jack: Money? Oh, you mean that money [a pack of kangaroo are messing around with the money] Charlie: Stop that. Stop that! Hey! Stop that, please! If Sal finds out... Sal Maggio: [as a kangaroo] If I find out what, Charlie? That you lost my money? Charlie: Sal? Sal Maggio: I've asked you to do something. This is not that! Charlie: My name is Carbone, which means skinny white boy with a gun [Sal watched his factory of stolen merchandise become raided by the NYPD on the news] Sal Maggio: [disappointed] Louis Booker, you degenerate moron. Were these Medieval Times and you, a knight in shining armor, you would have, I have no doubt, slayed the maiden and saved the dragon. [Waffles, Louis' puppy growls] Louis: Shh! Waffles! Charlie: Sal, we can explain... Sal Maggio: [cuts Charlie off] As for you, Charlie. After the tragic death of your father, I married your mother promising her I would raise you as my own. *You* chose not to take the Maggio name. I did not complain. And when you wanted to go to Beauty School, as boys who lose their fathers early in life often do, I did not snivel at interventions, did I? Charlie: No, Salvatore, you didn't. In fact... Sal Maggio: In fact, I happened to bought a beauty parlor so you could sit on you lazy butt all day long. $4.5 million you cost me. Were you anybody else, you be dead by now. Charlie: Look, Sal, we know that your upset. Sal Maggio: It's not your fault. Charlie: What? Sal Maggio: A lion can raise a mouse, but the mouse is still a mouse. And you, Charlie, are that mouse. Look at this. He takes it. Chicken blood. Jessie: What's going on? Charlie: We're in a little bit of trouble. Jessie: A little? Mr. Smith: I've been following camel tracks all bloody morning, so lets make short work of this. Where's me moolah? Jessie: For god sakes! All this over $4,000? [Charlie chuckles nervously] Jessie: It's more, isn't it? How much more? Charlie: Forty-six thousand more. Mr. Smith: And every cent of it is mine. Now there are only two ways we can do this, and one of them's a lot less painful than the other. Whare's the money? Louis: See, what happened was we put the money in the jacket and then the jacket on the... Mr. Smith: Wrong answer! Your friend told us the yarn about the kangaroo. Mate, I've hope for your sake you were stupid enough to hide that money in them saddle bags. Charlie: You gotta believe us! Mr. Smith: [Sticks a knife at Charlie's throat] No, you gotta believe me. If it ain't there, I'm gonna carve you up piece by piece. Jessie: So it's safe to assume your not on vacation. Louis: No. Charlie's stepfather is a mobster back in New York, and he had us sent out here to deliver a package. Jessie: Oh! And you got me in the middle of this? Charlie: I am so sorry, Jessie. I never thought this would happen. Jessie: And you lied to me. Frankie Lombardo: [Cocks gun; points it at Charlie] This is from Sal Maggio. Charlie: Frankie! We got the money. We got it back! [picks up the package] We got it! Frankie Lombardo: You don't get it, do ya, Charlie? Sal not dissapointed because he cares about the money. He's disappointed because you two aren't dead! What do think he was paying Smith fifty grand for? Louis: You mean to tell me that traveled halfway across the world to pay for our own execution? Frankie Lombardo: Yeah. You two were the bag men for your own hit. Pretty clever, eh? Charlie: Not on our part. Frankie Lombardo: Say, "Good Night." Charlie: [after kissing Jessie under the waterfall] Okay, I'll admit it. This is the most romantic moment of my entire life. Louis: [Runs over] AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! [Does a cannonball into the water] Charlie: And now it's over. Louis: [Louis and Charlie are in an airplane restroom together and find out that the envelope is full of money] Check this out! Charlie: Hey, you're not supposed to open this. Louis: Hey, man, that's like fifty grand in there. Charlie: Oh my god! Something doesn't smell right here. Look at it! Louis: I know! I'm looking! I've never seen so much green in one little brown package. Charlie: And now it's in my hands. Aw, it slipped out! Louis: Ohhh! Charlie: Here, help me scoop it up. Louis: Oh, this is one big load. Charlie: What a mess! Louis: Just want to roll around in it! Charlie: Hand me the rest of the pile. Louis: Can I hold it? Charlie: No! Dump it in the envelope! Louis: Maybe we should just flush it. Charlie: We're not gonna flush it. I'm gonna put it in my pocket, leave this room, and take it to Australia. Louis: If you're gonna do that, give it here! Let me kiss it for good luck. Charlie: You're not gonna kiss it. It's bad enough you touched it! Louis: Charlie, before you put it away, can I at least smell it? Charlie: Maybe later. Charlie: I never saw it. Such a beautiful animal. It's the national symbol of Australia. And I killed it. Louis: Don't worry, Charlie. We'll get the money back, all right? He can't go far. Charlie: It's a continent, Louis. He can go *very* far. Louis: I know it's a continent. I read the book. Charlie: Did you happen to read the chapter on not putting your jacket on a wild animal? Louis: No, but I did read the chapter on how an aborigine can kill a white man with a twig. Do you want to see that one? Blue: G'day. The name's Blue. Charlie: Charlie. Blue: Heh heh. Nice to meet ya, Chezzar. Charlie: Charlie. Blue: That's what I said: Chezzar. Louis: [hugging Charlie] We're having a very intimate, non-gay moment. Charlie: Uh-oh. Dingos. Charlie: Hey that one kinda looks like Waffles. Louis: Yeah if Waffles had a crazed look in her eyes and her face caked in blood. Mr. Smith: Have you ever held a gun before, Charlie? Louis: Don't answer that! Charlie: No... Mr. Smith: Ever killed a man, Charlie? Louis: Don't answer that! Charlie: No. Mr. Smith: What do you do for a livin' that makes you so brave, Charlie? Louis: *Really* don't answer that! Charlie: [cocks the gun] I'm a hairdresser! |
