The Mighty Ducks DVD Box Set

Slap Shot meets "The Bad News Bears" in "The Mighty Ducks" (1992), the surprise hit comedy with Emilio Estevez as a cynical lawyer who's given community service after a driving violation. His duty: coach an inept pee-wee ice hockey team. Along the way, players and coach learn some valuable lessons about winning. Lane Smith, Joss Ackland co-star. Then, the ragtag bunch of rink rejects who skated their way to a championship and coach Estevez are back for all-new ice-capades, as the Ducks represent the U.S. in the Junior Goodwill Games hockey event and take on a polished squad from Iceland, in "D2: The Mighty Ducks" (1994). Michael Tucker, Kathryn Erbe. And, in "D3: The Mighty Ducks" (1996), the Ducks travel to an exclusive academy for some further education and a chance to flex their hockey muscles. But they find lots of roadblocks in their way, from the strong-armed tactics of the varsity team to a replacement for their coach (Estevez). With Jeffrey Nordling, David Selby. 5 1/4 hrs. total on three discs. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital 5.1.
