Battlefield Baseball
Premium Crap. CrapScore 76, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A high-school baseball team faces opponents who treat killing as a legitimate sporting tactic. Tak Sakaguchi enters a deliberately chaotic world where sport, martial arts and horror comedy keep interrupting each other. The low-budget effects are rough, and the attraction is the sheer refusal to play an ordinary game.

Synopsis and movie facts
Battlefield Baseball is a tough game — it doesn't end until all the members on the opposing team are dead. In this game the Gedo High team is composed of blue-faced zombies, and their opponents on the Seido High team know they don't have a chance at beating them unless they can bring back a star pitcher who has a lethal pitch called the Super Tornado, but who has hung up his cleats and has no desire to return to the game.
