Movie: Jungle 2 Jungle (1997)


This review contains examples of...

  • Actor Allusion: As soon as Alexi Jovanovic appears in the film, the Critic immediately recognizes him as Jumba from Lilo & Stitch, and proceeds to say he was also Cogsworth and "the bad guy from Pocahontas".
  • Catchphrase Interruptus: By a rock hitting him.
  • Continuity Nod: The Critic makes one to the "pot and pan" confusion from the third "Nostalgia Critic Fuck-Ups" video.
  • Does This Remind You of Anything?: When Karen becomes Ukume and refuses to be addressed by her original name, the Critic responds with his fist held high, "That's right; Karen's your slave name."
  • Fun with Acronyms: When the Critic explains how a movie about a jungle boy connects with the Russian mafia.
    Critic: The loyalty of the stockholders was at risk, so they ask several people around who have money. They all have zany solutions to the problem, but one seemed investment-worthy with no backfires at all, so they entered into a deal of business with them sneakily and smoothly.
    (He waves off the onscreen text that appeared during his explanation, leaving just the acronym "LAZINESS".)
    Critic:
    ' ...That might be it, too.
  • Not Even Bothering with an Excuse: When Mimi-Siku decides to visit the Statue of Liberty by himself, speaking in proper pronouns as he does so:
    Critic: Now you might be asking yourself, "Wasn't he just saying 'me' instead of 'I' in an earlier scene?" (shows clip of said scene) Well, there's a very good reason for that. (Beat) Oh, fuck it, I just want you to hear that woman screaming again.
  • Running Gag:
    • The Disney Vanity Plate appearing over risque or inappropriate scenes.
      "You laugh, but then you ask, 'Am I going to Hell for laughing at that?' Either way, it deserves the Disney logo."
    • The bird woman's scream.
  • Shout-Out: The Critic compares the indigenous village to a knockoff of The Mission.
  • Take That!:
    • The Critic compares the movie to unfunny episodes of Home Improvement.
    • He also takes a snipe at the short-lived Cavemen series from GEICO, calling the jokes just as unfunny as those of that series.
  • Wildlife Commentary Spoof: The review is styled like a National Geographic documentary.

"Whaaaaaaa!!!"
