After being bounced out of the majors, Jack Elliot heads to Japan to play pro baseball. He finds a very different game and culture across the Pacific. Elliot strikes up a relationship with his boss' daughter. At first, he tries to bully his teammates and the club owners, but he comes to accept and respect his new home.

In the twilight of his glory days, Jack is no longer hitting them like he used to and finds himself traded to Japan. He manages to alienate everyone on the team including the manager, without improving his batting average. But with the love of a Japanese girl and a newfound respect for Japanese culture, Jack finds a way to win.

Shot in DeLuxe color and Panavision. This film was produced in association with Pacific Artists and Dentsu. White Sox first baseman Frank "The Big Hurt" Thomas has a cameo as Elliot's replacement. Additional cast members included Mak Takano (Shinji Igarashi); Kenji Morinaga (Hiroshi Kurosawa); Joh Nishimura (Tomohiko Ohmae); Norihide Goto (Issei Itoi) and Kensuke Toita (Akito Yagi). Copyright 1992 Universal City Studios, Inc.

"...The final face-off satisfies like a cold stadium brew...." -- Susan Wloszczyna, USA Today

4 stars One of Tom Selleck's best
If you like Tom Selleck, you'll love his performance in this movie. He is both funny & sensitive, brash & humble. The baseball scenes are really authentic. The supporting cast is very good. A great story about seeing things from others' perspective.

4 stars Great movie on Culture Shock
This is a true East meets West movie, Tom Selleck is a major league ballplayer in the US that is in a slump and traded to a Japanese ballclub. On arrival he is convinced he knows everything and is too good for the Dragons, but soon learns that acceptance is the key to success. Saw this the first time before moving to Okinawa and agian once there. Very good movie that helps explain and demonstrate the culture shock many people feel when visiting an foreign culture.

The feature film debut of Hayao Miyazaki (NAUSICAÄ OF THE VALLEY OF THE WIND, PRINCESS MONONOKE), THE CASTLE OF CAGLIOSTRO depicts one adventure of the master thief Lupin and his rough-around-the-edges gunman, Jigen. Something of a cross between Batman, James Bond, and Cary Grant's character in TO CATCH A THIEF, Lupin is a suave ladies' man who is also given to feats of athletic daring, aided by a gadget filled belt that gets him out of more than a few scrapes. The plot has Lupin and Jigen traveling to the sleepy little country of Cagliostro and coming to the aid of the unwilling fiance of the diabolical Count Cagliostro. After CAGLIOSTRO, Miyazaki stopped creating "slapstick" feature films in favor of more serious fare; CAGLIOSTRO shows, however, that ...
