Air Bud: Golden Receiver is a 1998 sports comedy film directed by Richard Martin. It is the sequel to Air Bud. The film was shot in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It is also the second Air Bud film to be released theatrically. Outside the United States, the film was often titled Air Bud 2. This film is dedicated in memory of the original Air Bud (Buddy), who died of Synovial sarcoma several months before the film's release.

Production

Following the release of Air Bud, Keystone Entertainment stated that there were no plans for a sequel as Buddy's right hind leg had been amputated as a result of synovial cell sarcoma. However, this turned out to be untrue, as Air Bud: Golden Receiver went into production soon afterward.

By April 1998, Buddy’s owner, Kevin DiCicco, had a falling out with Keystone and producer Robert Vince. DiCicco said the sequel had been made without his involvement and also claimed he had not been paid the percentage of merchandise and profits he was promised for his work on the first film.
