Just re-watched this on hulu last night. Hadn't seen it in over a decade. Here are my mental notes:
-it's a 90 minute movie about a basketball playing dog, and the first time the dog puts a basketball through a hoop is 45 minutes in -the dog plays in exactly one basketball game. He checks in with 6 minutes left. -the setup for the dog actually playing in an official game is this: half the team suddenly gets chicken pox, then a guy fouls out, so they only have 4 players -before said game starts, the boy goes to the drunk clown's house to kidnap the dog in order to set it free. He gets the dog and takes him across a lake or something, and turns him loose in a field. The next time we see the dog, he randomly bursts into the gymnasium at the exact moment the player is fouling out, and the original owner is, inexplicably, chasing after him. How the hell did the owner track down the dog? -when the dog shoots free throws, it's 78-82 with 20 seconds left. He makes them both. 80-82 with 20 seconds left. Then the ball moves down the court, and the next time we see the scoreboard it's like 61-65 with 4 minutes left or something. Then it goes back to normal. Just a silly mistake I noticed. -Nobody considers the thought of the dog actually playing until the moment when he bursts onto the scene. Yet magically they already have four miniature basketball shoes that fit a dog ready to go on the bench? I'm not trying to do a serious critique of the movie here. Just watched it when I was drunk and felt like reflecting on it. It's weird watching things like that and observing the differences between your perspective as a child compared to an adult. I actually thought the development of the family was done well, with the kid dealing with his father dying and the mother working two jobs doing the best she could. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Could the dog talk in this one? Or was that just the sequels?

Just re-watched this on hulu last night. Hadn't seen it in over a decade. Here are my mental notes: As far as errors as this sort. Friday Night Lights was on the other day. The movie. When Boobies gets injured and the team with Mike Wimchem or whatever is driving down the field there is like 50 seconds left. They complete what I think it 4 or 5 passes going down the field. Except. Every single pass they complete seems to be caught around the opponents 20 yard line over and over. So they drove down the field at the end of the game in the time left by throwing the spot down field to the same spot over and over. It was weird to me. --- LoL ID = imajericho XBL GT = Corrik ...

He catches balls and knocks balls through the clown's arms or whatever as a trick. Then the dog falls out of the clown's truck bed and gets found by the boy, our hero. ... Copied to Clipboard!

So back when I was maybe 10 my younger brother was looking in the backyard at my grandma's and asked who were the dogs that were playing with my grandma's dog, Sasha. She was confused but there were in fact two extra dogs in the backyard that were clearly strays.
So she takes out some food for them. One of the dogs was having none of it and bolted pretty much as soon as my grandma came out. After some time the other dog eventually started eating the food. My grandma decided to keep him (She had recently had to put down her other dog Max as well). We told her that she should name him Buddy after the Buddy in Air Bud since that dog had been a retriever and a stray as well. And that's how Buddy came to live with my grandma. He never quite broke his habit of running away but he always managed to find his way back on the times that he did get out. He was a bit of a wild one but he was a good dog and the one I remember most of my grandma's dogs (She has had 4 of them and is considering getting another one). --- Brought to you by GameFlux Free GameFAQs app on Google Play! ...

-Nobody considers the thought of the dog actually playing until the moment when he bursts onto the scene. Yet magically they already have four miniature basketball shoes that fit a dog ready to go on the bench? Wasn't Buddy used for the half-time show? I'm not sure if he wore shoes back then, but it wouldn't be a stretch to think someone made it for him. --- Congratulations to BKSheikah for winning the guru ... Copied to Clipboard!

I guess he had shoes for the halftime show. They wouldn't have been expecting him for the game he actually plays in, but I guess it would make sense that the shoes would be at the gym somewhere. ...

In the sequels, the animals can talk to EACH OTHER. They dont speak to humans.
Oh and in Super Buddies they can talk to the aliens I have a niece and nephew <_< --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DRlKR5nU8AA_v_C?format=jpg&name=large ... Copied to Clipboard!

Also the Buddies are a great example of the Smurfette Principle
All 5 have defining characteristics One loves to eat and gets one big fart in every movie. Dont pull his paw! One is hip and uses street lingo. See its funny because he calls dogs dawg not actually meaning canine. One is a Buddhist and is big on enlightenment. Get it? BUDdhist? One is rowdy and loves to get dirty. I think they were running low on ideas at this point. And one is...a girl. Her whole defining characteristic is that shes female. --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DRlKR5nU8AA_v_C?format=jpg&name=large ... Copied to Clipboard!
