Did You Know?
Trivia
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer added a scene where the title kangaroo talks after seeing the success of the Disney release Snow Dogs (2002), which used a similar plot device. See more »Goofs
(at around 1h 11 mins) 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. See more »Crazy Credits
During the usual "Jerry Bruckheimer Production" credit at the beginning of the movie, you can briefly see two kangaroos crossing the street. See more »Soundtracks

Regardless of its faults, my 7 year old daughter and I had fun and enjoyed the movie, which is what counts. Obviously, the movie is not intended to be a masterpiece or believable, but children will find it very funny and adults may enjoy it too.
