Bad News Bears

[sgtpepperlhcb9]

what about lupus?

[PJKellyEsq]

Hey Yankees - You can take your apology, and your trophy, and shove it straight up your @#$!

Priceless.

[digitalmasterdata]

saw the movie and was good,, kiddie stuff bla bla bla food, sex , pepsi and misleading sports :)

[HighwayHank1]

This was and is one of my all time favorite movies, this version was so much better than the remake. Tanner Boyle was my favorite.

[lasquid]

I luv this movie! I saw it at the drive-in. I joined little league soon after. Are uniforms even looked like the bears. I even wore number 12 just like my favorite character, Tanner Boyle!

[AmericanFireBrand]

I was a 7 year old kid in Indiana, USA when this movie came out. I love it to this day!

(I turned 41 on 24 Sep 2010!). Classic!

[MegaCupcake85]

my cousin is the chubby kid

[ilikescreamo1991]

i think jackie earle haley the only one who just stuck to acting

[KellyGreen5555]

What about Tanner? He was amazing in this film!

[dirt1265]

is it true that el jefe from nofx is in this version?

[5989023]

My favorite part has got to be when Tanner throws his mitt at the baserunner.... I think every little league player has wanted to do that at some point in a bad inning LOL

[nellgwen48]

Vic Morrow is dead. He died while making the movie The Twilight Zone. Brandon Cruz who played in The Courtship of Eddie's Father on T.V. with Bill Bixby as well as the Yankee pitcher in The Bad News Bears is now a punk rock musician. Bill Bixby has also died.

[johnnyspfc1]

i loove this video

can anywhere say my where i can see the full version of this film?

[elFlakation]

I should have get insulted when he said spics but I didn't o.O

[coach777777]

Such a great flick.

[lastardriver]

This is what childhood is all about. It's about kids being kids. The best movie of my childhood. And the Breaking Training movie actually was probably my favorite.

[Teresupne]

Life is lookin good!

[jmshvr]

p.s. thanks for the great upload!

[jmshvr]

the remake of The Bad News Bears is

awful,there is NO comparison to the original 1976 version in my opion.

[putthisonmytab]

el hefe was in this hahaha

[McRat1968]

I love this bit of news, the where-are-they-now stuff!!!!

...FINALLY we hear about a kids' tv classic where NO ONE among the cast ended up a criminal, a drug addict, or dead (like on "Diff'rent Strokes" and "Patridge Family" or "Brady Bunch" and the rest!)

Hooray for B.N.B. lol

[gatorcc70]

The Billy Bob Thornton version was crap.

[bat2456]

@gatorcc70 nope it wasnt it was freaking funny

[Jaybird1103]

I really liked Ogilvie's jacket with the patches of all the Major League Baseball team logos.

[ImMrFeelGood]

kelly leak was the best. so was tanner

[shepdizzy]

Where's TIMOTHY LUPUS (the booger eating moron)? Quinn Smith. That catsup scene made the movie!

[tscotwv]

From everything Ive read, Chris Barnes has done everything possible to disassociate himself from the Tanner character and to avoid publicity. He also apparently declined offers from ESPN, Sports Illustrated and TV Guide to participate in anything Bears related. The last known news on him was an article back in 98 that claimed he worked in a flower shop in Utah. If you search "Chris Barnes, Beyond Tanner" you can find a website on him with the info.

[mcdonchris]

That sucks cause Tanner made that movie too damn funny with his antics...lol

[Jaybird1103]

I liked the character of Tanner Boyle (BTW, that's my last name). However, I don't blame Chris Barnes, the actor who played him, from diassociating himself from the foul-mouthed character who had so many putdowns of people of different races (In other words, what if a kid acted like Archie Bunker). Chris, you did a good job as Tanner.

[RunDCM]

jackie earl haley is rorshach in th watchmen

[coconutvb3]

The Bad News Bears is my favorite movie in the whole wide world!!!!!!!!!!!! lol.

[lorenzomuzik]

The profanity lives on....the profundity as well.

My #3 fave film of all time...and number one sports film.

This film splashed on the scene in 1976....and the ripples are still being felt.

[tommybiggun1]

I was 5 when the movie came out. I have fond memories of my own little league experiences and this movie is my favorite of all time.

[volontewilliam]

In 1976, I saw this movie when I snuck in and cut school. I was 9 years old. I remember thinking this is the funniest movie ever and they must of made it just for me. Tanner was AWESOMe!!!! The little bastard.

[kieralinn]

Great movie!!! At the time this came out, I was in a little league softball team...yes I am a girl. Anyway, Our team sucked! We played like they did. Then my Dad took over. WE made it to the final game and lost. The whole season the local newspaper called us The Bad News Bears. And we finished the same way. Anyone else have little league teams that were like this? Why not share?

[0111919]

great vid

SOMEONE TALK TO ME kP

[SFFOOL76]

One of my favorite sports movies ever, purely genuine !

[MaxwellsAxiom]

Dude I heard El Hefe from the punk band NOFX was in this movie anybody else hear that?

[LaStorm13]

Nice post. Just watched the film again tonight on HBO Family.

[solidyahoo]

war tanner boyle !!!!!!!!!

[homerekker]

I was in Santa Barbara and on my way up north, so I decided to pay the old park a visit. It's still there. It's on Mason Ave in Chattsworth, CA.

[knuckles362]

I'm named after Tanner lol

[mrshinyshoes]

Getting kicked in the nuts by a stupid delinquent boy was bad enough----there's no need to humiliate a grown adult man further you idiot. Too bad I haven't seen the stupid kid around----if I did I'd wring his ears until he cried "Uncle". It was just a lucky shot on his part. I was lucky my testicles weren't ruptured. :(

[caspol69]

loved Tanner! my absolute favorite little guy.

[geezeeatme]

lol tanner and his freaky friends

[IrishRepublicanArmy6]

wat happend to tanner i cant find anything about him???

[kmcarmo]

Jackie Earle Haley (aka Kelly Leake) is in "SemiPro". He plays the dirty hippie that Will Ferrell owes 10 grand to. lol

[ThundaLippz]

OMFG...theyre so old.they look totally different! lol. fuck i dont wanna get old.

[N2PTF]

"What do you expect? All we got on this team are a bunch a Jews, spics, niggers, pansies -- and a booger-eatin' moron!"

-- Tanner Boyle

[ChachiTelevision1979]

One of my favorite lines from the movie. Tanner was such a biggot - one of my favorite characters!

[realdealwife]

did Kelly Leake end up in prison LMAO

[beatlesman369]

im watching this right know!

[spaceorbison]

Gritty, iconic, real, punk rock.

[LostBoyyy]

How did the Bears go to the Astrodome in the 2nd movie when they werent the champs...they got beat by the Yankees in the 1st movie? Just nitpicking*L*

[maze70]

the bears got beat in part I, but they were selected to go to houston because of their galant effort.

"People like a good story Morey"

[SCE2AUX]

The Yankees were originally invited but were unable to get their team together. Bob Whitewood (Toby's father) argued on the Bears behalf, that they had lost only on a fluke.

[richmjr67]

the back of the dvd of bad news bears in breaking training says the picture picks up the bears career a year after their infamous second place finish in the north valley league

[LostBoyyy]

Nobody could blow a fastball by Kelly Leak

[phatpharm22]

LOL I remember this from 1979,

[chilad]

yeah.. but the Bad news bears was from the 70's

[dylanfan1969]

the message i got from this movie was how adults act when "supporting" thier kids. you saw how matthau and morrow acted in this movie towards the end. it was as if they were playing through the kids. the movie was not about how kids act in real life. it was about how out of control parents get when trying to live thier own dreams through thier kids.

[mrshinyshoes]

It was in the 70s when children started losing respect for adults. Movies like Bad News Bears exemplified that. "Part of our culture?..."Showed kids as they are, not how they should be?" That was the problem! We've allowed kids to be potty-mouthed, ugly little brats, who eventually grow up to be dumb,rude adults.

[mrshinyshoes]

Ugh, I guess you're right dylanfan1969 (I didn't really see it that way) but why couldn't this film been made with 'normal' kids (if what you said that 'this movie is not about kids in real life')? What we have here is a rat-pack of 'abnormal' misfits. I don't sympathize with these spoiled,ugly brats at all, despite the adults. The movie would have been better if it used regular kids with regular dreams and weaknesses. Hollywood always likes to show 'how bad and adult-like' kids can be. Sad.

[gerryd1955]

Are you on crack? This movie was about real kids. Kids that had problems. Kids that came from a broken family and parents that didn't have time to hang out with their kids. It also depicts how parents act in organized sports. The film had a message and obviously you did not get the message. Go back to your gated community a-hole.

[mrshinyshoes]

If a kid talked to me like one of those little brats in this movie, I'd stunt his growth permanently! This is not a movie about 'real kids'. It's about stupid, spoiled, and disrespectful kids. They're abnormal,and if abnormal is supposed to be real and good, forget it. Whatever happened to the good values of the 50's and early 60's?

[gerryd1955]

If you paid attention to the movie, the coach's message related to not only baseball but life. "Do the best you can" The reason the kids respected the coach is because he was more screwed up than any of them. He had faults just as much as they did but the kids respected him because he spoke to them on their level. Stop bashing this movie. It is a classic and made a ton of money. May I suggest you buy the Gilmore Girls DVD collection? I think it's more your speed.

[mrshinyshoes]

gerryd1955, I'll tell you why I dislike this movie so much: last month some boys (who looked and acted like the stupid kids in the movie)were coming out of a movie theatre that was showing 'BNB' as an old 'family comedy' film. They were mouthing off and acting disrespectful(no doubt emulating the brats in the film), so I rightfully told one boy to 'shut up'. Without warning and without any just cause, the brat kicked me right in the b_ _ _ s. See the correlation, or are you just 'blind'??!

[gerryd1955]

Was this the new movie with Billy Bob or the original? Anyway, if a kid would have kicked me, I would have kicked him in the chest, especially if my wife and kids were with me. It's self defense.

[mrshinyshoes]

For your info, the brats saw the 1976 original version, ok?  I wanted to wash their mouths-- they called me a big 'a-hole' and a big 'f_ gg_t' only because I was a clean cut gentleman. The boy who balled me was only 10 years-old! No, I wouldn't have kicked him, I would've 'killed' him, but I was just too disoriented and in wretched pain (ugh!) to attack the boy. Luckily, my wife and kids did not witness my near impromptu 'castration'.

[eze42323]

I'm glad they kicked you in the ballsack MrShinyshoes, too bad they didn't rupture your nuts to prevent you from having any retarded faggot kids who take after you bitch. This movie rules! Serves you right for telling them to shut up when you should have been minding your own fucking business queer.

[mrshinyshoes]

You're an idiot eze42323. You don't even know how stupid these kids were, so mouthy and disrespectful to adults. And it wasn't "they" who kicked me in the testicles, you moron. It was one scrawny little 10 year-old boy. I could have killed him if I wanted to, but I was too paralyzed by the pain. I really thought i was going to die. The boy kicked me full force and at point blank range, just because I told him to shut up! What a f**ckin' brat.

[whipcreambath]

those arent kind words

[mrshinyshoes]

The boy almost ruptured my testicles you idiot. Just because I told the fucking kid to shut up. When are you going to get it through your thick skull that such boys are no good?! They deserve a whipping.

[sacking11]

anyone know where i can find the movie with billy bob thorton. PLEASE HELP

[ASCHProductions]

look at blcokbuster or blcobuster online, or amazon or ebay.

[cdowg187]

The remake to this wasn't horrible, but obviously it doesn't stand up to the Original!

[SamyNegro07]

this is the original or the new one? because i saw one but i dont know if that was the original or what... it wasnt this movie that i saw...

[sharp1972]

the tanner character you must admit was killer

plus billy bobs such a dirt bag,,,,the after game parties at the hooters and sing along of claptons cocaine...ba ha ha ...classic

[richoverthere]

Does anyone know where this movie was shot. Somewhere in the valley?

[chris33003300]

One very important lesson I learned from this movie...you can't respect someone who kisses your ass.  Always stick up for yourself. Thanks Tanner Boyle!! That's probably why I've had 35 jobs in the past 17 years.

[sharp1972]

ba ha ha.!!!!!!...im still speakin' my mind ang gettin punched in the eye at 35....tanner you taught me everything i know...lol!

[PotrancaFina]

Somehow when I heard the guy who played Engleberg talk, I just knew that was a Texas accent. Not everyone from Texas talks like that though :0)

[princessk1269]

Engleberg was not from Texas...he is my cousin and he is from and still lives in Southern Illinois!!

[PotrancaFina]

Hell yeah, he's from Texas and still lives here. The original Engleberg...@princessk1269

[solidyahoo]

No mention of the star of the movie tanner boyle?

[fumetti]

Supposedly, he wants to distance himself from the movie and the character that made him famous. He is a near recluse and refuses any comment on the film anymore. Sad attitude, since he gave kids a lot of laughs during the summer of 1976.

[solidyahoo]

That movie is the only success in his career, why hate it? Don't blame the movie, blame yourself

[fumetti]

I agree, I think Tanner had one other noticable appearance, on a "Taxi" episode. I think embracing his famous persona would make him a happier person, and also make his fans happy as well.

[ratlenhum]

Different Chris Barnes on taxi

[michaelatkms]

No, it's the same Chris Barnes that appeared on the Taxi episode. It was filmed right about the same time as 'Breaking Training'.

[gerardjmahon7]

No it wasn't. I am a relative and I know what Chris is doing

[gerardjmahon7]

Yes it is. Trust me

[gerardjmahon7]

I disagree because unlike other child actors he has moved on and has a very good life and is very happy.

[shorecrat]

I will not see the new one.  Nor do I ever watch "Breaking Training" or "Go to Japan" etc...I cannot believe that dbenson17 put down my sentiments exactly!

[flyonaribroast]

Im a huge fan and grew up on these movies. I thought breaking training was just as good if not better.

From the beginning when Kelly fucks with the new coach, to carmen ronsoni,to playing against the mexicans, the only thing I didnt like was the whole tanner feeling sorry for "the luper"

that kid sucked in the first movie and I liked when he got stuffed in the garbage can.

[ALAXGRL]

I love this movie i love all three i watch them all the time got to love tanner and the best quote ever. All we got on this team are a buncha Jews, spics, niggers, pansies, and a booger-eatin' moron!

[swimmergirl0510]

i watched this movie last night its so good

[kramdude7]

They say Chris Barnes ended up owning a florists somewhere in Utah but no specifics so whether its true who knows.

[x0jacqidx0]

i love this movie. both orignal and the new one. bb.thorton makes the 2nd one. the first ones just so good. things were so diffrnt back then

[shippyssdgfhh]

OMG! Thank you so much for uploading this. The BNB was one of my favorite childhood movies. Its nice to know what they are up to now. Shame about Chris Barnes though. (Tanner Boyle.)

[gerardjmahon7]

I am a relative of Chris. I know I know, but I'm not telling

[spazquester]

Me too...favorite.

[dbenson17]

I'm just going to say...

:'(

My favorite movie of all time. This is a great vid!
