Here’s where you’ll find Rick and Morty in Space Jam: A New Legacy
The stars of Adult Swim's Rick And Morty have been running tests on Taz
Film News Space Jam
Space Jam: A New Legacy isn’t the sequel we were hoping for. Its predecessor wasn’t a masterpiece, but it was definitely fun to watch. However, this sequel’s daffy plot involving LeBron James facing off against a sentient algorithm named Al G. Rhythm is just plain painful. Its primary source of enjoyment is LeBron and the gang’s interactions with characters from far beyond the Looney Tunes universe—even if that amounts to a movie that’s essentially a very long commercial for the intellectual property owned by Warner Bros. Discovery.
Amongst those cameos are the droogs from A Clockwork Orange droogs (who infamously rape and beat the shit out of people with their canes for fun in the Stanley Kubrick film), who show up in the crowd for the climactic basketball game between the Tune Squad and Al’s Goon Squad. Elsewhere in the movie, you’ll find Jane from What Ever Happened To Baby Jane?, Dr. Evil from the Austin Powers movies, Wonder Woman, one of Daenerys’ dragons from Game Of Thrones… and Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith.
Word of that last cameo spread on Twitter this morning, after Space Jam: A New Legacy became available on HBO Max. In a scene where LeBron and Bugs Bunny are looking for more members to join the Tune Squad, Rick and Morty drop off the Tasmanian Devil, and Rick says, “We’re done running tests on your badger thing. It turns out his condition is irreversible.” Morty adds, “I’ll never erase what I saw from my brain.” Rick doesn’t get to say “fuck” or “shit,” so he goes for the very PG insult “dum-dums.” And don’t count on seeing Rick drunk; he’s appears extremely sober for once.
If you want to skip straight to Rick and Morty’s appearance in Space Jam: A New Legacy, it occurs roughly 40 minutes and 50 seconds into the film—shortly after LeBron and Bugs pull Yosemite Sam out of Casablanca.

Awaiting the cameo of the Blazing Saddles cast. What? There’s no minutes-long farting scene? Mongo punching out Taz?
“Where the white women at?” – LeBron James, ‘Space Jam: A New Legacy’
I mean…must I?

To quote the classic MST3K episode Overdrawn at the Memory Bank, “never show a good movie in the middle of your crappy movie.”(which, coincidentally, was also Casablanca).
Really weird how there’s this family-friendly version of Rick and Morty that shows up in hamburger commercials and Fortnite and now Space Jam.
I remember when parents flipped their shit over Bart Simpson dolls because he skipped school and occasionally said “hell.” Meanwhile, Rick and Morty’s most recent episode featured ravaging sperm monsters and a giant incest baby. So…yeah. That’s where we are, apparently. (Though I think a lot of that is down to parents not having clue what Rick and Morty is even about.)
I think parents just don’t give a shit any more. I’m a parent and I watch R&M with my son. (Admittedly, it’s becoming more of a chore than a treat as the series grinds on.)
I think my dad still somehow believes all animated shows are aimed at children, and hence would probably unthinkingly let a small child watch Rick & Morty itself if he ever had to babysit.
but, but, media today is so stifledand censored. tHeY’D nEvEr MakE bLaZiNg SaDdLes ToDay.
Space Jam Legacy!
Infinite realities means there’s a nice, PG version too. It’s all canon.
you think Simple Rick is dropping the hard C word and having dragon orgies with his grandkids?
Disturbing cameos in the kids movie, Space Jam Legacy.
Rick & Morty: An adult cartoon that has extreme violence, sexualized content and cursing.
A Clockwork Orange: The controversial 1971 film from Stanley Kubrick that has violent rape scenes.
Also, Game of Thrones, Jane Hudson from, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? are in the movie
WTF Warner Bros? I know you wanna shill all your properties but this is too much. It’s wrong.
I was 40 minutes into Space Jam Legacy and took a 4 hour nap. It’s so boring. Sure, one can say it’s for kids but the first movie everyone watched and loved it. This new one feels tired and lazy. I just didn’t care what was going on with the characters or plot lol. It’s gonna be a pass for me dawg.
I’ll admit I got far. I was almost through the whole thing. Then the Porky Pig 8 Mile reference happened and I wanted to die
Space Jam Legacy!
So it IS possible to pull a Family Guy without being on Family Guy!
It was certainly a better use of IP in the film than, say, randomly sticking Elmer Fudd into Austin Powers.
This movie seemed like a giant ad for HBO MAX.This may have been the weed talking but I swear I heard the movie say “Hey Parents, once your stupid kids, who made you watch this crap, go to bed. Why not watch a better movie on HBO Max”
100 IPs Rick and Morty!
Well, I had fun with the new Space Jam. It’s Space Jam, no reason to go into a rage over it being a kind of cynical shitty kids movie.
WOW. Bad taste!
So it’s Ready Player One with basketball?
Is that Pennywise next to her there? So we have a sexually repressed nun, a cannibal demon clown, and a gang of rapists from a Kubrick film all rubbing shoulders in this kids film. Did anyone at any point say, “Hey, maybe these are not characters kids need to know about?”
I think it’s awesome. Imagine being the kids growing up, watching the adult movies and they suddenly remember seeing those spectators before. Well, it’s at least as close to awesome as this movie can get.
Yep. That’s also Danny Devitos disgusting pervert Penguin to the left
I do agree with you on all points, but for the record, I first watched A Clockwork Orange when I was ten, and when they did the TV miniseries of IT I think I was maybe 15? That it was on network TV and it scared me more than when I watched The Exorcist the previous year says a lot. That said, I kinda grew up on violent/horror/graphic movies. My mom was at a teachers conference for two weeks over the summer of 1986, and my dad would stop at the video store a couple times a week. Saw all the Ahanold films up to that point, RoboCop, you name it. My dad knew I’d been sneaking down on early Saturday mornings since I was 4 to watch whatever R-rated horror or action flick was showing on HBO (I also think that’s why he cancelled it a few years later…).Somehow I’m not a psychopath.
HBO Max’s bottomless chum bucket has consumed Vanessa Redgrave!
Who else is over 30 and fell asleep during Space Jam Legacy? Guilty
This is good information to have should I ever start caring about ‘Space Jam’ or ‘Rick and Morty’.
awww jeeez aww boy
Not sure what you are talking about. This was exact sequel to Ready Player One I was expecting. God this movie was stupid. Yes the original was stupid too but it at least, in mind, had a bit more heart. Mostly because it was made in that time when MJ “retired”(IE was stealth suspended for gambling) from Basketball and ended up coming out when he came back so the movie kinda rolled with that arc and it worked better then the “be yourself” message if this thing As far as cameos go. The Rick and Morty one at least was something kids today may get. The Austin Power and Matrix reference, not so much. I will say there was one honest laugh I had at the movie and that was when Michael Jordan actually showed up. I won’t spoil more but it did make me laugh.
I feel like the movie worked best when the Looney Tunes were allowed to be the Looney Tunes. Rapping Porky Pig made me long for death but Wile E Coyote’s duplication machine gag worked.Also the Michael B Jordan gag was a very obvious joke but it worked for me. I honestly think the movie would have worked better if they had pulled a 22 Jump Street and lean into the fact that this is a shameless nostalgia cash grab to advertise HBO Max.
One other thoughtSo you an executive and you decide Space Jam 2 needs a scene where they get a tune from Mad Max: Fury Road. Why the hell wouldn’t you include a tune being the Doof Warrior? I mean Wily Coyote spraying chrome in his face and holding up a sign that says “Witness Me” is chefs kiss level good. But seriously did Porky Pig really need to be in Austin Powers when the fucker could have been playing a flame thrower guitar?
Apparently in the same scene as Casablanca. you know – for kids?
So Morty’s experience with Taz isn’t a Mind Blower, and therefore not that bad?
Its predecessor wasn’t a masterpiece, but it was definitely fun to watch.Yeah, nah.
