Editing Kangaroo Jack (section)

== Plot ==
In 1982 [[Brooklyn]], a boy named Charlie Carbone is about to become the stepson of [[crime boss]] Salvatore Maggio. The mobster's apprentice Frankie Lombardo tries to drown Charlie, but a boy named Louis Booker saves him, and they become best friends.

Twenty years later, Charlie operates a beauty salon set up by Sal, whose henchmen take 80% of the profits, barely leaving Charlie enough money for maintenance. After Charlie and Louis botch hiding some stolen TVs, which leads to the discovery of Sal's warehouse by the police, Sal gives them one more chance. Under instructions from Frankie, they are to deliver a package to a man named Mr. Smith in [[Coober Pedy]], [[Australia]]. Frankie also warns them against opening the package, and provides them with Mr. Smith's number. Unknown to the duo, Sal has cancelled their return trip. Louis opens the package on the plane and finds $50,000 cash.

Arriving in Australia, Charlie and Louis drive to Coober Pedy. Along their way, they accidentally run over a [[red kangaroo]]. Louis thinks it is dead and calls the kangaroo “Jackie Legs”, after their friend from [[Canarsie]]. Louis even puts his “lucky” jacket and sunglasses on the kangaroo, posing for photographs as a joke. The kangaroo suddenly regains consciousness, kicks Charlie, and hops away with the $50,000 in the jacket. Charlie and Louis give chase but crash their rental car, and the kangaroo escapes.

At a pub in [[Alice Springs]], Louis calls Mr. Smith, who thinks he and Charlie stole his package and threatens to kill them by feeding them to the [[Saltwater crocodile|crocodiles]]. Back in New York, Sal gets a call from Smith complaining that Charlie and Louis have not arrived, then sends Frankie and some henchmen to Australia to investigate. Meanwhile, Charlie and Louis attempt to reclaim the money from the kangaroo by shooting it with a tranquilizer from a plane. The attempt fails when Louis accidentally shoots Blue, the pilot, causing the plane to crash and stranding the duo in the desert. They spend hours wandering in the desert, during which the duo encounter a pack of hungry [[dingoes]] and a sand storm, and Charlie [[hallucination|hallucinates]] finding a jeep, and they soon meet Jessie, an American woman from the Outback Wildlife Foundation. Charlie, thinking she is a mirage, grabs her breasts and she knocks him out. Charlie then has a nightmare with a speaking and rapping version of the kangaroo, plus two other kangaroos possessing Sal and Louis's voices, who taunt him by calling him "Chicken Blood" repeatedly.

The following day, the three track Jackie Legs to the [[Todd River]], attempting to catch the animal with [[bolas]], but Louis accidentally botches their attempt when he panics after [[ants]] crawl up his pants. While waiting for the next opportunity to catch the kangaroo, Charlie begins developing feelings for Jessie. At the crack of dawn the following day, Smith and his henchmen shortly arrive, after following their camel tracks, and capture the trio. Charlie and Louis outsmart them, but find Frankie has tracked them down and is prepared to kill them. Jackie Legs suddenly returns, causing a [[Boxing|fist fight]] between Smith's henchmen and Frankie's crew, who outmatch them. The distraction allows Charlie, Louis and Jessie to escape. The duo chases after the kangaroo while being pursued by Frankie and his goons. Louis finally retrieves the money from the kangaroo, and Charlie narrowly saves him from falling off a cliff. Charlie tries to hand the money to Frankie, who angrily declines and reveals that Sal sent them to Australia to pay for their own execution at the hands of Smith. As he is about to shoot Charlie, the [[Australian Federal Police]] force, led by a cop working undercover as an Outback guide, arrives and arrests Frankie, Smith, and their henchmen. Charlie reclaims Louis's jacket from the kangaroo.

One year later, Charlie and Jessie are married and have used Sal's $50,000 to start a line of new hair care products bearing a kangaroo logo, along with Louis. Frankie and his goons have been [[Life imprisonment|imprisoned for life]] while Sal tried using his high level connections to avoid going to prison; this failed, and he is now awaiting trial. Jackie Legs, now called "Kangaroo Jack", continues to live happily in the [[Outback]]. Now able to speak again, Jackie breaks the fourth wall, explaining why the film should end with him since the title of the movie is named after him, and finally closes it with his version of [[Porky Pig]]'s famous catchphrase: "That's all, blokes!"
