The story of the 2003 film Kangaroo Jack is as much about the chaotic movie itself as it is about the "bizarre" history behind its creation. While it’s remembered as a family-friendly film about a talking kangaroo, the reality is a lot weirder—it was originally meant to be a gritty, R-rated mob comedy. The Plot: A Mob Mission Gone Wild
The plot follows Charlie (O’Connell) and Louis (Anderson), two hapless cousins forced to deliver a mysterious package to a mob boss (Christopher Walken, in full quirky-mode). When their plane crashes in the Outback, they lose the money. While chasing a kangaroo that has stolen their jacket (which contains the cash), Louis hits his head and hallucinates the kangaroo talking to him for exactly one 90-second scene. Kangaroo Jack
