D2: The Mighty Ducks (1994) ft. Ryan Pappolla


Listen Later

The movie kicks off, once again way harder than it needs to. Bombay is out there crushing it in the minors. His future is bright. But he's hit hard and goes down with a knee injury. He goes back home and is picked up by Hans's brother, Yan. They talk about what's next for his life. He doesn't want to go back to Ducksworth. He doesn't think he can make money with pee wee. For now, he's just going to help out in the shop. 

One day, he has a visitor. It's Don Tibbles and he wants Bombay to coach a team representing the United States in the Junior Goodwill Games in Los Angeles.

You'd think maybe there'd be an open try out. There's not. He just gets the Ducks back together thanks to Charlie.

Team USA is going to consists of the Ducks and 5 new players:  Luis Mendoza, a fast skater who can't stop, Dwayne Robertson, a cowboy who is good with the puck, Julie "The Cat" Gaffney,  a goalie that will give Goldberg a run for his money, Ken Wu, a junior Olympic figure skater, and Dean Portman, who is a new enforcer.

During the first practice, the teams tutor comes in. Michelle McCay. Bombay immediately puts on the moves. 

The first practice is rocky, but that's nothing some line dancing and country music can't solve.

They have 1 school lesson and they're off to Los Angeles to get started! Up first, Trinidad & Tobago. Tough that USA has to play 2 teams at once but what can ya do. They dominate. 

The next day, at a press conference, Team Iceland shows up and the coach says TEAM USA IS GOING DOWN, THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE GOING! That's coach and ex-NHL player Wolf "The Dentist" Stansson. More on him later. 

Bombay begins to enjoy the fancy things that Dom Tibbles is giving him and begins to leave the team by themselves more which causes some issues. One night, Fulton & Portman are out past curfew and they see Bombay out on a date with one of the assistant coaches from Iceland.

Bombay walks into the locker room the next day in a fancy suite and his slick back hair. The vibes are off. It's time to play Iceland for the first time. It does not go well. They get blown out 12-1 and Tibbles threatens to fire him if he doesn't get this figured out. He yells at the team and they get real mad. 

On a mandatory off day given by Michelle,  the players go play some street hockey, against a team led by a kid who has been trash talking them at all the games. His name is Russ and he blows their minds with his knuckle-puck.

After a kick in the pants by Yan, Bombay goes to skate to clear his mind.

In their match against Germany, Bombay fails to arrive on time cuz I guess he lost track of time while skating? I dunno man. 

Charlie asks Michelle to coach and she does her best but the team is struggling.  Bombay finally arrives with his duck call which we all know is duck for "I'm sorry" and the team gets straight to business with the Flying V and win the game. 

Bombay and Yan go full Mr Miagi and teach all the kids how to use their special skills. Bombay finds out that Banks has a hurt wrist and tells him he has to bench him. But Charlie has found his replacement - Russ and his knuckle-puck. 

At the last team practice, Bombay wants to have some fun with a beach ball. The Dentist shows up, squashes their ball, and challenges Bombay to a 1 on 1 game. Bombay is killing him when The Dentists nails his knee with his stick intentionally. 

It's time for the championship and Banks walks in to show that he's been healed. Only problem is his roster spot has been filled. So Charlie offers to give up his spot and become a coach. Bombay does not try to talk him out of it because Charlie sucks at hockey. 

The game is off to a real rocky start and they go into intermission down 4-1. 

So they head into the locker room and Bombay gives the classic "ducky fly together" speech and Yan surprises everyone with Ducks uniforms because there's no rule in the play book against changing jerseys during the game. And it works! Thanks to some clever play, the Ducks tie it up. 

The championship comes down to a shootout. It's 4-3. Iceland has one more shot to tie it up. Naturally, Bombay puts in Julie the cat as goalie. She stops it and the Ducks, I mean Team USA, wins!!!

The team heads home and spends some time around the fire as they sing we are the champions together.
