10 Best Fat Kids In Movie History

By Joe Sippy /

4. Goldberg - The Mighty Ducks

Big kids make great goalies for obvious reasons, but nobody owns the role quite like Goldberg (played throughout the Mighty Ducks franchise by Shaun Weiss). Goldie€™s bar mitzvah (where he is made into a man in goal) trumps so many cheesy €œimprovement€ montages from sports movies it€™s not even funny. The Mighty Ducks just needs one scene with Emilio Estevez€™ Coach Bombay to graduate a wimpy character who is terrified of a puck into a shot-blocking machine. Strapping Goldberg into the goal is pure genius, and it€™s even better that they leave him strapped there after practice. Don€™t get too cocky, kid. Being a part of a franchise means Goldberg has numerous films to show off his chubby charm. Perhaps his next finest moment comes in D3 when the team is rollerblading down the street. In a three-minute long extended sequence, he and his buddy Charlie skate off-course and end up going backwards down a stairway, blindly through an alley (while being chased by a pitbull), and careening through heavy traffic before flying off an overpass. It was apparently 90€™s law that there was at least one instance of €œX-treme Sportz€ in all kids movies. Choice Quote: €œI am Goldberg, the goalie!€
