Audio problem: During the scene in the restaurant where Hiroko surprises Jack with the Kobe Beef dish, Hiroko's lips aren't moving when she says "Sorry, little joke!".
Mr. Baseball (1992)
1 audio problem - chronological order
Directed by: Fred Schepisi
Starring: Tom Selleck, Dennis Haysbert, Ken Takakura, Aya Takanashi
Other mistake: Towards the end of the movie when the Dragons are playing the Giants for the pennant, Uchiyama argues with the umpire when he called Jack out for touching home plate. He bumps him not once, but twice. No umpire would stand for this; Uchiyama would've been ejected from the game immediatley.
Jack Elliot: Japanese way, 'Shut up and Take it'.
Hiroko Uchiyama: Jack's way, 'ME, ME, ME'! Sometimes acceptance and cooperation are strengths also.
Trivia: Jack's home run streak and the fight with the Hiroshima Carp pitcher who hit him were based on 2 actual events by 2 differnt American ex-Baseball players playing in Japan, Randy Bass and Warren Cromartie respectively.
