bob uecker just announced a major league 4 in the works


Bob Uecker sang the 7th inning stretch at Wrigley today, and during his interview in the box he announced that they were making a Major League 4 movie. He didn't say anything about who else would be in it except for him and Monty, his long-time colorman.

The R-rating wasn't what made it good. The writing and casting made it good. You don't need an R-rating for that.

I completely agree with you. To add to your post, you're also going to lose many of the fans who enjoyed Major League BECAUSE of the R-rated humor. At least go from R to PG-13. But going right from rated R to PG and expecting Major League fans to "go along with it" is asking a lot. Too many of the jokes and scenarios in part 2 were just too childish. A slap in the face if you ask me.

I mean, come on..."Strike this motherfuc*er out" from part 1 was one of best scenes in the movie! Now we get the whole "marble shaking" crap to inspire a player...sorry...doesn't work for me.

Dumbing-down and making something more family-friendly are two completely different things. In fact, one of the R-rated lines was IMPROVED by censorship.

"You may run like Hayes, but you hit like s***" is funny, but
"You may run like Hayes, but you hit like his sister" is brilliant.

I kinda miss that Edited version, because the censored lines were hilarious. I can't even remember what the "If you ever tank a play like you did today, I'm gonna cut your nuts off, and stuff 'em down your *beep* throat" sounded like in its censored form.

But I LOVED the Roger Dorn/Wild Thing confrontation on the mound at the end of the movie. Just the way they stretch the word "Guy" when Roger Dorn says *beep* is hilarious.

"Let's cut through the crap, Vaughn. I've only got one thing to say to you. Strike this *beep* out!"

Edited..."Let's cut through the crap, Vaughn. I've only got one thing to say to you. Strike this guy out!" Lmao. It's more funny if it's seen.

reply

no its not. like *beep* is way better. his sister? nah.

reply

yeah the sister line is funny.

uhhhh..in what universe is the altered version funnier than the original..?

I don't know if he is officially signed on but I heard on local Philly sports radio that Charlie Sheen is working with Lenny Dykstra for his upcoming role in the next Major League movie. Supposedly the "Wild Thing" is making a comeback as a closer. I can't confirm this is true but it is what I heard.

"How'd ya know my name was Mac?" - Mac

There was just an article about this in Sports Illustrated. They did an interviewe with Sheen, Berenger, Russo, the writer and director and a few of the other actors talking about the original major league. In the article they did talk about doing a Major league (3 or 4 as they all admit the original 3rd movie sucked and pretend it doesn't exist). And it will have Sheen character Wild Thing trying to make a comeback

I've heard some good one-liners from censored movies. One that immediately comes to mind is from Snakes on a Plane. Although I have never seen the movie in either its original form nor its censored form, I have seen a scene in which Samuel L. Jackson says "I am sick and tired of these motherfu--ing snakes on this motherfu--ing plane!" The censored version is completely nonsensical: "I am sick and tired of these monkeyfighting snakes on this Monday-to-Friday plane!"

I love what people can come up with when trying to creatively censor something.

I have no enemies, but am intensely disliked by my friends.

Beringer is pretty old now but Renee Russo still looks damned good. Just look at her in Thor.
