Air Bud Movies - Have they gone too far??? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

theanswerman · 07-04-2003, 10:39 PM

who thinks that the air bud movies had gone to far. Ok, the first one was ok, a dog being able to play basketball but they just got stupider and stupider. Come on a dog that came play volleyball, what were these writers thinking when they were writing this?????

yAH, ive seen the first 2 and lets leave it at that!

DarleneIllyria · 07-04-2003, 11:47 PM

Imo, I think they have. Didn't the original dog die a couple of years ago? I mean, I hate to be depressing, but when the main dog dies, maybe it's time to leave the movies alone.

Just because you have a hit on your hands, doesn't mean you have to crank new sequels out every year. jmo

My brother and I were discussing this the other night while watching "7th Inning Stretch" on TV.They should have just stopped after 3.It's the same thing with the Beethoven movies.

I think they are very annoying!

I have no problem with the Air Bud movies, they're harmless family fare.

Now if they could just get that dog to join NASCAR...

automatic princess · 07-06-2003, 08:40 AM

Yes, they have. All of those other sports, I can see or have seen a dog do, but volleyball? C'mon.

onefortheroad · 07-06-2003, 12:42 PM

i'd like to see kickboxing, that would be a riot

~*Hannah_Lee*~ · 07-07-2003, 01:48 AM

Yeah, these Air Bud movies are starting to get like those "Land Before Time" movies.

Have you seen the commercial for this movie, where the dog "spikes" the ball?

At least they never tried putting him on ice skates in a hockey movie. They would have lost all credibility.

This says it was considered

>>>Air Bud : The Big Puck

Air Bud : The Big Puck was a cancelled Air Bud movie that would have been released in 2010 or 2011. Not much evidence exists of this movie, even less than Aussie Rules. But in this movie it has Buddy playing hockey.<<<

And heck yeah they should have done it

The closest we got is a chimpanzee named Jack playing hockey in MVP: Most Valuable Primate in 2000 by the same director of some of the Air Bud franchise. I guess that was a bit more realistic.
