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.

In the final film in the BAD NEWS BEARS trilogy, the lovably delinquent Little League team is hot off of a victory at the Houston Astrodome. Their next mission is to travel to Japan for the Little League World Series in Tokyo. Enter Hollywood huckster Marvin Lazar (Tony Curtis), who sees a goldmine in the "little team that could." Off the field, the team learns about Sumo wrestling, and star player Kelly Leak finds teen romance with a Japanese girl. Bill Lancaster, writer of the original film, returned for this installment of the saga.
