Directed by: Penny Marshall
Starring: Tom Hanks, Bill Pullman, Jon Lovitz, Geena Davis, Madonna, Lori Petty, Rosie O'Donnell
Character mistake: In the opening game Ellen Sue is pitching but the announcer states Kit is pitching.
Suggested correction: Kit is on the mound. Ellen Sue is playing short stop. But she's the one who beans the guy making fun of the girls, she just wasn't pitching.
Continuity mistake: During the scene where Dottie and Jimmy are sitting beside each other at the front of the bus having a conversation, the camera cuts to Mae painting Kit's nails on the back seat of the bus. When the camera cuts back to Dottie and Jimmy, if you look at the back seat of the bus, Mae is sitting by herself and Kit is already about to sit back down in her seat in the middle of the bus. It doesn't seem likely that there would have been enough time for her to be in that position so quickly. (01:11:45)
Kit: Have you ever heard dad introduce us? "This is our daughter Dottie and this is our other daughter, Dottie's sister." They should've just had you and bought a dog.
Trivia: The notoriously hard-to-work-with Debra Winger was originally cast as Dottie, but she and Penny Marshall had so many creative differences that she was replaced by Geena Davis.
Question: Why did Marshall hire Madonna and O'Donnell?
Answer: Rosie O'Donnell auditioned for the role of Marla, but lost it. Penny Marshal thought she was a good actress and so funny she created the role of Doris for her. As for Madonna, she was like all singers getting offered movie roles. She was very popular back in the 90's, but reportedly a total diva to work with.
