Description
[Machine Translation] [Universal Cinema Collection] First time on Blu-ray! A Hollywood film starring Ken Takakura, a world-renowned Japanese actor, after his role in Ridley Scott's "Black Rain" (1989)! This baseball comedy comically depicts the conflict and friendship between a "gaijin" player from the U.S. and a Japanese manager in a Japanese professional baseball game. Co-starring Tom Selleck of "Three Men and a Baby". The film was shot almost entirely in the Nagoya area of Japan, with 100,000 Nagoya residents gathered at Nagoya Baseball Stadium as extras for the game scenes. The CBC announcer also appeared in the film as himself. The model for the stubborn Uchiyama, played by Ken Takakura, is Senichi Hoshino and Tatsuro Hirooka. This means... thoroughly managed baseball! Therefore, the highlight of this film is the interesting culture gap between the U.S. and Japan. Baseball players from the U.S. have a hard time adjusting to Japanese "baseball. On the other hand, a stubborn Japanese manager who enforces a rigidly controlled baseball system comes to accept the American way of baseball through contact with "gaijin". The film is also a highlight as the two men from different cultures battle it out, but also come to accept each other and grow closer.
