"Wild Thing" Vaughn wore a fucking leather vest onto the field in Major League 2? I didn't recall that. Guess the filmmakers were really hammering the whole "this team's forgotten the value of the game" point home.

Where's the Italian version on "Major League III"? Scott Bakula+Italian Overdubs=Comic Genius.

@Lady Andrea: Maybe he and Al can go back in time and convince himself not to do that steaming pile of a film.

Wow, the Italian version is much more entertaining than the English version...

@ChucklingAtTheDead: If Major League II killed the memory of the original, then 'Major League: Back to the Minors' raped it's corpse and pissed in it's eyes.

I can't understand nothin' these idiotic far-left morons are saying. They should speak American. I mean, they're in America. They should speak American. It's ridiculous. This is Kige Ramsey for YouTube entertainment.

That is the first time I've ever laughed during Major League 2. I doubt it will happen again. That fucking movie should be shot for killing the memory of the original. And don't even get me started on the one with Scott Bakula.

@Athletic Supporter: I made one yesterday, when there was a Lasorda reference, if that counts.

I'm sure "punch and judy hitter" translates well to Italian.

(yes, I know Major League 2 well enough to know that's what the pitcher says when he's pulled for Wild Thing)

Exactly why did I find this funny?

And more importantly, why did I feel that I had to watch it twice?

And even more importantly, if this was in Italian, where were all the half dressed hot chicks? (and no, Margaret Whitton as Rachel Phelps does NOT count)

@Lady Andrea: I vostri pattini dell'acquazzone hanno loro fungo. Non lo farete mai ai bigs con il fungo sui vostri pattini dell'acquazzone. Pensi classy, voi sarà classy. Se vincete 20 nell'esposizione, potete lasciare il fungo svilupparsi indietro ed il press'll pensa che siate colorful. Fino a che non vinciate 20 nell'esposizione, tuttavia, significa che siete uno slob.

That scene marks the last time Camden Yards was excited over baseball. Cheering for a fictional Indians team.

I prefer the Italian-American stereotypical broken English version of Minor League.
