The Bad News Bears
Go to Japan (1978)

Rate: 1
Viewed: 11/13

11/13: No...no...no...the horror.

Thankfully, this is the end. Absolutely nothing works in The Bad News Bears Go to Japan.

What the hell was Tony Curtis thinking when he agreed to appear in this steaming pile of crap? Was he that desperate for money or to relive the nostalgic memories of Some Like It Hot? On the other hand, Kelly Leak tries to imitate Marlon Brando of Sayonara by wooing a young geisha. Why are Hollywood films like that every time the Americans visit one of these Asian countries?

I've been clueless as to why the team has earned the privilege to travel to Japan to play a meaningless game with tons of dollars wasted to make it happen. By the way, be sure to check out the pre-cut wood blocks during the karate demonstration.

All in all, the good news is that The Bad News Bears Go to Japan is the last of it.
