BATTLEFIELD BASEBALL
Posted by dailypop on September 10, 2007
Finally a movie for people who hate team sports.
Battlefield Baseball is a bizarre shock-horror/comedy with many musical numbers written by manga comic book writer GatarĂ´ Man. The film is absolutely absurd, following the dream of a frustrated High School baseball coach to get his team into the coveted Koshien Stadium. His star player, the aptly named Gorilla, is constantly followed by a team of cheerleaders, but he is not the star of the film.
The real star is the reluctant hero Jubeh (played by Tak Sakaguchi of Versus) who refuses to play Baseball despite the fact that he is a natural pitcher. The sad story behind his reluctance is eventually told in song… in short he tore a hole straight through his father just by pitching a ball to him in the back yard.
The enemy team of Gedo High School is quite formidable. This is mostly due to the fact that it is made of of crazed zombies who use explosives and killer baseball bats.
The actual gameplay is so violent that it defies description, as glimpsed in the trailer.

I laughed, I cried, I filled my glass multiple times while watching this hidden gem. A movie unlike any other, Battlefield Baseball is a perfect flick to watch while the rest of the world cheers and roars to support their teams and I shrug in disinterest.
Personally, I think the MLB could learn a thing or two from this movie.
