Precisett This movie is magnificent!

Steineded How sad is this?

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

dkallem This--dare I call it--film is, IMHO, one of the worst productions ever recorded onto celluloid and released by a studio. Our daughter loved the original BNB, and seeing original director Michael Ritchie as this installment's Producer gave us some reason to hope, but 3 minutes of this extreme dog-of-a-movie was enough to dispel all of THAT! It's hard to believe this was made only two years after the original came out. From Tony Curtis' boozy, utterly amoral character (was this an acting job?), to the very incoherent script and equally helpless direction, this is a testament, I can only imagine, to the power of greed. Greed by a studio and production company that had had a hit with the first BNB movie and was determined to milk it for all it was worth--regardless of the #&%@! they had to serve up! Thanks folks! Save yourself the considerable bother and DO NOT watch this movie!

stevenfallonnyc OK, so in the "one line summary" I use the words "horrifically" and "unbelievably" to describe how bad this film is. That's only because coming up with words strong enough to describe how incredibly and unfathomably (there's two more) bad this film is, is actually very difficult.Why did I even view this? I did like the first one, and the second kinda sucked. So in the video store one night a few years back, looking for something new to view, I rented this because I had never seen it, and it was 70's Japan so I thought maybe there would be some cool Godzilla references, because I am a huge Godzilla fan.This film was so awful, it shocked even me. As the film ended, I got very angry. Angry at myself, angry at those who made it, angry at everything. I took action. I wrote a fierce letter to the director demanding he send me my $2.00 rental fee back. (I know, "whoo boy you told him!"). Hey, I wanted my money back! Of course I never heard from him. Maybe he was dead. Maybe he heard it all many times before!Anyhows, yes this film is a joke and a half. And the Godzilla references? Nothing direct, just a "tv commercial" for a baseball bat featuring a kid who uses the bat to knock down a monster trampling over cheesy miniature buildings. It had absolutely nothing to do with anything and was obviously stuck in there just to show the monster trashing some cardboard little buildings. Oddly enough, it was the best part of this film.

bud-24 After watching Lost In Translation and seeing Bill Murray's character awkwardly appear on a quirky Japanese TV show called 'Matthew's Best Hit TV', I couldn't help but be reminded of the Bad News Bears Go To Japan and the Bears appearance on a 70's Japanese variety show.Both movies tried to show the quirky aspects of modern Japanese society, although the subplots in LIT were a bit more subtle than those of BNBGTJ. Think you can compare all movies made about Japanese society with LIT and come up with the same similarities? Two that come to mind, Mr. Baseball and Black Rain don't even come close. As strange as it may seem, LIT and BNBGTJ are more closely related than it would seem on the surface.

chubbybunnyjim This film didn't follow-up to the first two successful sequels! John Berry, was not a good director, and especially a bad script!!!Tony Curtis (Father of Jamie Lee, starred in "Halloween" the same year), did an Ok job, and I say that this film was disaster!!!NO STARS!!!
