Continuity mistake: Harry pulls a bat out of his car trunk which becomes yellow, shorter, and bounces, likely made out of foam, then it turns back to normal when demanding money from one of two thugs he's nailed.

9.7/10. A great sports movie that's underrated with great chemistry between Peter Falk, Vicki Frederick, and Laurene Landon. It's one of those that should be watched and appreciated for its effort at telling a good story in the world of women' wrestling. I found it almost perfect and engaging,never dull. Yeah it copies Rocky some but a lot of movies at the time did. The wrestling scenes are great with the action well paced and perfectly coordinated. The ladies were trained by Mildred Burke herself. I wish the sequel had been made, could've been just as good. A lot of people and critics complained about it mainly Siskel and Ebert. They just failed to understand the story which saw this tag team, The California Dolls,struggling to get a tag team title shot with their manager.It showed the trials and tribulations some athletes have to endure to achieve success.Vicki and Laurene were dynamic,playing off each other and Peter well,like an actual family.If anything,this movie hit all the right notes from beginning to end,doing everything right.I wish more movies of today cared about the product not just the profit,this one's a fine example of people caring about quality. Just everything was well done, nothing was over the top or under. I recommend the movie very much and wish people would give it a fair shot.

Answer: No reason is given but there could be any number of factors involved in why this location was chosen. However, it appears to be less about the plot than about real-life logistics. The event takes place at the MGM Grand Hotel in Reno. MGM financially backed this film, so this was an opportunity for them to showcase and promote their expensive hotel in the movie. Also, filming on MGM property would have given the production greater freedom on when, where, and how they wished to film, avoiding many of the costs, restraints, and restrictions often encountered when filming a movie.
