Australian label Via Vision Entertainment has provided us with an official trailer for its upcoming Blu-ray release of John Berry's The Bad News Bears Go to Japan (1978), starring Tony Curtis, Jackie Earle Haley, Tomisaburo Wakayama, George Wyner, and Lonny Chapman. The release will be available for purchase on February 22.
Description: Caught in a clash of cultures and ready to wreak more havoc on Japan than Godzilla, the Bad News Bears are back for their third outing, following the enormously successful The Bad New Bears and The Bad News Bears In Breaking Training. This time the Bears have been spirited off to Tokyo by Tony Curtis as Marvin Lazar, a slick and sleazy con artist who sees in the team a perfect peg for a get-rich-quick scheme. The strikeout-prone Bears are pitted against a murderously skillful Japanese junior baseball team, and the resulting comic chaos is hilarious.
