Previews
Welcome to.... THE SPACE JAM!
- The sheer amount of characters appearing from Warner Bros./WarnerMedia's library of franchises. Not just the Looney Tunes, but also Hanna-Barbera, The Iron Giant, the DC Animated Universe, and even Animaniacs! This also includes several live-action properties like The Wizard of Oz, King Kong and even characters from adult franchises and films like Morpheus and Agent Smith, Alex Georgie, Dim, Pete and Pennywise from It. Truly a massive step up from the original.
- The Visual Effects of Awesome, with characters switching between 2D and 3D formats, the Server-verse dimension of worlds, and the monstrous Goon Squad team.
- LeBron James attempts an epic slam dunk. It's cut short by an Invisible Wall, but props for trying.
- Granny going "old school on Chronos' butt" and scoring points with some acrobatics that look impossible to do for someone as old as she is.
- The second trailer extends a shot from the first, giving us a scene of King Kong and the Iron Giant fist bumping.
- Porky Pig rapping. Under the name "Notorious P.I.G." Yes, you read that right.
- Even better? He manages to do so without stuttering.
Movie
- The entire montage of recruiting the other Tunes across different worlds is one of the biggest highlights of the movie, possibly even more than the actual game.
- Lola Bunny nearly completes the obstacle course on Themyscira, but fails to do so in order to save Bugs and LeBron from falling to their deaths. However, this selfless act is enough for Wonder Woman to declare that Lola is fit to be an Amazon.
- Rick and Morty make their theatrical debut by dropping off Taz.
- In a more general sense, the Serververse itself counts as this. Imagine, every property created and owned by Warner Bros./WarnerMedia presented as its own planet that you can actually explore and interact in. Even more mind-blowing? The very fact that all the characters that appeared in the game were a mere handful compared to all the others that exist. Who wouldn't want to do what the other Tunes did?
- Once the Tunes start embracing their inherent silliness they start turning the game around using their gags.
- Wet-Fire spent the entire game splashing through the team by being made of water. Gossamer stops him in his tracks after he runs right into him and gets absorbed into his fur like a paper towel.
- As The Brow is about to stomp Tweety, the bird asks him if he has a ticket, because the "11:50 express is running on time". Cue Brow getting run over by a locomotive, courtesy of Coyote and a screen.
- Before getting surrounded by all his opponents, LeBron passes the ball to the Roadrunner, who runs so fast he causes a smoke screen, blinding his opponents and allowing Tweety to get close and score a slam dunk for a bunch of points.
- Bugs hijacks the commentators' booth and starts making his own calls to the game which ends up freezing the Goon Squad in place the second they're about to score a dunk.
- Taz stops Brow from getting a slam dunk by using his spin to literally rotate the entire court so Brow ends up dunking in his own basket, thus giving the 200 points to the Tunes.
- Wile E. Coyote single-handedly scoring about seven hundred points. How? Easy: Acme Multiplier and bird seed
.
- It turns out Granny is the only one who can actually stop Chronos and get past his power to control time. Why? She was in the Matrix world and mastered Bullet Time! She could actually Move in the Frozen Time and reset his mechanism to rapidly age him 132 years!
- The Nerdlucks cheering in the crowd. Evidently, they really did stick around after abandoning Swackhammer.
- Bugs Bunny is made of awesome in this movie. First, he is the only Tune to see through Al-G Rhythm's manipulations and not leave Tune World. (until they took Marvin's ship) Second, he sacrifices himself to save LeBron's life in the end by doing the basketball move that causes the game to freeze up but also causes the person who completed the move to get deleted. And, despite what Bugs says later, it is heavily implied when he completed the move he didn't know if he'd survive it or not.
- Porky Pig rapping in the bonus round.That is all.
- Just when it looks like Al-G is about to ruin LeBron’s winning shot, Dom throws the power-up back to his dad’s foot, allowing him to score the winning basket.
- It's a small moment, but Wile E. Coyote actually manages to get the better of Road Runner during practice! Even better is that Road Runner doesn't return the favor.
- It is also a small moment, but Sylvester somehow finally managed to eat Tweety at some point before becoming Mr. Bigglesworth.
- Kamiyah starts cheering "Let's go, Tunes!", and the people around her cheer along. Before you know it, the whole crowd is cheering "Let's go, Tunes!"
- Bill Murray’s photo cameo during the end credits montage. This alone makes him the only live-action actor from the original to appear in this installment, despite not being featured in the film proper.
