Space Jam: A New Legacy, also known as Space Jam 2, jam packs just about every single movie ever made into its story with one reference or another. Here is every single one.
After over two decades of waiting, a Space Jam sequel was finally released into the world. How well it will age and survive is yet to be seen, although the initial reviews appear to indicate it's dead on arrival.
Part of the joy of watching Space Jam 2 the first time is to see just how ridiculously the Loony Toons characters are going to be forced into universes you never expected them to be in. Coyote as a War Boy in Mad Max, or Elmer Fudd as Mini-Me in Austin Powers is just the tip of the iceberg.
Space Jam 2 is not a significant work of art or a pop culture artifact that needs preserving. The very idea of a Space Jam sequel, however, was to buy a ticket to be a tourist in your own youth. Space Jam 2 very unapologetically leans all the way into that and gives everyone their money's worth.
