"Back in action" was designed as a sort of "insult" to Space Jam. For some reason which to this day I cannot for the life of me understand, Space Jam was slammed by Looney fans because they said it did a crappy job representing the Toon characters and made them act differently and out of character.
Back in action was more hardlined into improving on Space Jam's mistakes by making the actors more interactive with the toons, which Michael Jordan did very LITTLE of. The problem was Back in action was similar to a fart in the wind in theaters, it came and went with very few people noticing it sadly.
I actually enjoyed both films equally. I don't really know how Space Jam worked into this movie aside from the whole basketball fight finish thing, even tho Space Jam did do it alot better. But again I loved this movie, the only thing that bothered me was how quick Fowl Larry just turned good and was all "sorry".
Holding a grudge for 30 years and waiting his whole life for a rematch with Wilt seems like a villainious thing to do, not something you brush off your shoulder and act like everything peachy keen again. I also agree with Pitbull, I find the fact that Wilt's eye was so fragile to be kind of cheap and tacky.
Unless that basketball was loaded with bricks, his eye shouldn't have been totally crushed and squeezed out like that for the rest of his life.
