Space Jam/Fridge

Fridge Logic:

• The Looney Tunes live under the Earth and the alien invaders are from outer space. Wait, so where is Marvin the Martian from? Is he an alien traitor?
  • This is why he is the referee.
  • Or if you avoid the portal, you'll go into the Looney Tunes equivalent of space.
• Better example: the climactic dunk, with Jordan under all five villains. Which ... means that he has FOUR open teammates. I'm sure Jordan's heard of this thing called the 'assist' ...
  • The real issue with this dunk is that at the end of the game, the Toons are only credited with two points. Jordan's feet are both behind the three point line, thusly the shot should count for one more point.
• Early in the movie, the Monstars grab Jordan, ball him up, and show off their new talents, including throwing Jordan so fast that he burns a hole in Yosemite Sam's hat. During this, he ends up with no broken bones, no burns, and no physical sign that this happened. So how did he NOT know that cartoon physics applied to him while he was in Toon-land?!
  • He did. He just didn't realize he could use it to his advantage up until the climactic dunk.
    • Wrong Genre Savvy? Jordan thought he was the Comic Relief, not The Hero?

Fridge Brilliance:

• I never thought anything of Marvin the Martian being the referee in the movie Space Jam. Until later when I realized, the game was between Looney Toons and ALIENS. Marvin is, so far as I know, the only being who's both, which made him the perfect impartial judge. -- Mysty Glyttyr
• Jordan makes a bet with the Monstars in that if he loses, he'll become their slave. On one hand, it sounds like a noble move. Alternatively, you can interpret it as Jordan being so full of himself, that he knows he can beat four All-Stars (and Shawn Bradley) in a basketball game. And is willing to risk everything he has to satisfy his competitive urge. Now, in real life, who do we know is an arrogant, winning-obsessed gambling addict that plays basketball?
  • This isn't Fridge Brilliance so much as either WMG or ruining a perfectly good movie.
