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). Goldies bar mitzvah (where he is made into a man in goal) trumps so many cheesy improvement montages from sports movies its 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 its even better that they leave him strapped there after practice. Dont 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 90s law that there was at least one instance of X-treme Sportz in all kids movies. Choice Quote: I am Goldberg, the goalie!
