WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
This sequel to the hot comedy “Major League” in which the down-and-out Cleveland Indians miraculously make it to the top of the pennant race, has the same cast of oddballs and misfits, though this time out the oddballs and misfits have to cope with their success. particular is reckless pitcher “Wild Thing” (Sheen), who now has an agent and is marketing everything about himself - including his pitches!

LaserDisc Picture:
The matted 1.80:1 picture is extremely sharp with vivid color, deep blacks, and excellent shadow detail. Fleshtones are always natural in appearance. This is a real looker that is sure to please the eyes.

LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The Dolby Surround® soundtrack is a well recorded with a punchy music score that provides the essence of the surround track. Dialogue is almost all ADR re-recorded and sounds artificial, although intelligible.
