Bradley "Brad" Uppercrust III is the main antagonist in Disney's 2000 film An Extremely Goofy Movie. He is the leader of the "Gamma Mu Mu" fraternity at Max Goof's college, and a selfish skater who only aims for his own victory, not caring how much Gammas will be left behind. He wants the most skilled competitors to be in his team, excluding the others he dubs "clowns."
Role in the film[]
When Max, P.J. and Bobby were seen skateboarding, Bradley and the Gammas followed them to the Coffee shop. He offered Max to join their faternity, but the Gammas picked on P.J. and Bobby. He quickly became Max's enemy and placed a wager about the X-Games; the losing team becomes towel boys for the winning team. Max accepted the wager. During class, he would often pick on Max (especially when Goofy came bursting in).
Later, while Max and his friends were practicing skateboarding, Brad notices Goofy having good moves (though it was unintentional) and had Goofy join the Gammas. During the qualifying round, he placed a mini-rocket under Goofy's skateboard and while Max was skateboarding, he flashed light into Max's eyes. Afterwards, Goofy decided to leave the faternity to help support his son and Brad had him thrown out. When Goofy snuck back in to return a badge, he overhears the conversation that the Gammas are gonna cheat in the competition.
During the X-Games, he had disguised cheaters to ruin the other players' chances of winning. After Brad and Max's teams made it in the finals, he had P.J. flying off in the sky to force the other team to forfeit. This unexpected turn of events causes Max to realize that Bradley tricked him into disowning his father and Goofy was telling the truth about Bradley's cheating. However, Max was able to convince Goofy to step in and help him beat Bradley and win the X-Games. Near the finish line, although Tank was in the lead, Bradley decides to win just for himself by blowing up an inflatable obstacle. He apologized Max for what he had done. This endangered Tank's life, but Max showed sympathy and decided to save him. Goofy and Tank released themselves from the skateboard to give Max enough speed, and Max won the competition. In the end, Bradley conceded defeat, shook Max's hand, showed good sportsmanship and even agreed to be Max's towel boy, but after betraying Tank, he had Bradley thrown towards a blimp. It is unknown whether he survived or not. However, it is most likely he survives and goes to the hospital, and then arrested for all his actions during the X-games.
Trivia[]
- Bradley bears similarities to Johnny Worthington III from Monsters University.
- Both are not only influential leaders in the Panhellenic Greek system at their respective colleges, but they also lead a fraternity and are extremely selective of whom they allow into them.
- Additionally, they both selected major characters to be allowed into their circle of friends for the purpose of collegiate game competition. With Johnny, he picked Sulley (at first) and, later on, Randall because he was sure that they would be excellent Scarers for the Scare Games. With Bradley, he chose Max (though he quickly rejected the offer) and, later on, Goofy (who would soon after separating himself from his group) because he noticed their skills in skateboarding and thought he could use them to his advantage for the College X-Games.
- Furthermore, they both show good sportsmanship after conceding defeat. Unlike Johnny, however, Bradley does attempt to betray and nearly get one of his teammates killed in his drive to win, which resulted in his downfall.
- Bradley is voiced by Jeff Bennett.
- Bradley will become Winnie the Pooh's, Ash Ketchum's, and Littlefoot's enemy in Pooh and Ash's Adventures of An Extremely Goofy Movie. At the ending of this movie, Max and Goofy will reveal that Bradley has been expelled from the campus and arrested by Officer Jenny after the college X-Games. His expulsion and arrest were due to conspiracy, his arrogant cheating, kidnapping of Serena, and his violent act of attempted murder on Ash Ketchum during the race. Though he is the main antagonist in the original movie, it turns out that he and the Gammas are working as accomplices for their boss, Bowser, who is the true main antagonist of the mixed crossover movie. Max Goof's experience with his rival/archenemy, Bradley Uppercrust, and his father's archenemy, Bowser, serves as a lesson to him. For if he hadn't allowed Goofy to come back into his life nor gotten over his judgmental behavior towards him near the end of the movie, he would've ended up like becoming just like Bradley and Bowser themselves whilst his father would've been dead by now.
- Bradley became Simba's enemy in Simba, Timon, and Pumbaa's Adventures of An Extremely Goofy Movie.
- Bradley will face Tabby Darklight and Katsuki Bakugo in Tabby's Adventures of An Extremely Goofy Movie and will return in A Goofy Reunion (TTFAC).
- He will be Ryan's enemy in Ryan's Adventures of An Extremely Goofy Movie.
