  1. The two principal stars of this film appeared in 10 movies together.  This was the sixth.

    At the end of the theatrical trailer, there is an outtake of one of the stars in the bath tub saying directly into the camera "If I'd known there was going to be a nude scene, I would've asked for an extra million." The crew found this so hilarious, they ended up using it as a post credits scene.

    My favorite line: "Then one day you wake up and you realize that you're not 81 any more."

  2. The first time I saw the acronym SNAFU was in a Wonder Woman comic; it was expanded as "Situation Normal, All FOULED Up."  A few years later, some fraternity brothers were helping me with a computer program and suggested SNAFU as a label.  When I told them what I thought it meant, they sort of grinned and said, I guess it COULD mean that!  Sharp cookie that I was, I immediately knew the R-rated version.  :biglaugh:  The "Beyond All Recognition" version was introduced to me later.

    New one soon.

  3. Correct answer, though a couple of missed assignations.  Walter Bascom was his role in Tek War; he was Denny Crane in Boston Legal.  (That would have been one of the giveaways.)  He was Jeff Cable in Barbary Coast.  He was also Bob Wilson in the more memorable of his two Twilight Zone episodes.  Incidentally, the J in TJ Hooker stood for Jefferson.

    Warp speed, Mr. Wolf!

  5. Characters in this movie include Leo Durocher, Eddie Stanky, Joe Garagiola, Branch Rickey, Pee Wee Reese, and Red Barber.

    Robert Redford and Jack Nicholson were considered for the Rickey role.

    The film does not explore the main character's career with the Montreal Royals, but he was hugely popular. After leading the team to the league championship, it was noted: ..."probably the only day in history that a black man ran from a white mob that had love, not lynching, on its mind."

    The star is perhaps better known for a role in the MCU.

    The star did many of his own stunts, because he believed that his stunt double's performance was not true to the main character's actions (the actual person portrayed in the movie).

    It's about Jackie Robinson.

    IT'S A NUMBER BETWEEN 41 AND 43.
