The Bad News Bears (3/9) Movie CLIP - Picking On Lupus (1976) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Tanner (Chris Barnes) comes to Lupus' (Quinn Smith) defense when he is picked on by a bully.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
The success this underdog comedy from director Michael Ritchie almost single-handedly spawned the kids' sports film boom of the 1980s and '90s. When beer-breathed ex-minor-league ball player and professional pool cleaner Morris Buttermaker (Walter Matthau) agrees to coach a little league team in the San Fernando Valley, he soon finds he's in over his head, having inherited an assortment of pint-sized peons and talentless losers. They play well-organized teams and lose by tremendous margins, and the parents threaten to disband the Bears to save the kids (and themselves) any further embarrassment. Buttermaker refuses, though, and brings in a pair of ringers: Amanda (Tatum O'Neal), his ex-girlfriend's tomboy daughter, and Kelly (Jackie Earle Haley), a cigarette-smoking delinquent who happens to be a gifted athlete. With their help, the Bears manage to change their losing ways and qualify for the championship, where they face their arch-rivals, the Yankees.

Tanner was one tough kid...wasn't scared of anyone

[hamburg]

I loved Tanner he’s a great teammate sticking up for Lupus.

[XxowendanxX]

Tanner was a stand-up guy...he gave people around him crap but he stood up for them...he fought Amanda but when that asshole spiked her chest he was the first one off the bench to kick him in the nuts...Tanner was the MAN...

[starcrafterterran]

lmao @ "You owe me 30 cents for that burrito"

[malakifox]

I absolutely loved this movie as a kid. This and Sandlot.

[evanbrown]

I have a little nephew like Tanner. God I love that

[drewrosecrans]

Man this takes me back to being a kid back in 1976 when kids were kid's and loving it!

[grgl]

Tanner was a little bad-ass. I remember kids just like him from my childhood. It's always the short kids with the Napolean complexes that would fight guys twice their size! Lol

[suddendee]

Tanner Boyle really carried that movie.

[xpez]

This is how we dealt with bullys in the 70s

[xnet_cascade]

Tanner is that one bully who defends his victims from other bullies

[urgirlarabella]

Tanner is that type of person that doesn’t like u but stands up for u

[tonyc]

Tanner was a good kid. Sure, he messed with Lupus, but if someone else did, he'd throw down in spite of being a small kid himself. Kid had balls.

[georgenambo]

I wish I had a bud named Tanner growing up, I wouldn't have cared if he gave me grief as long as I knew he had my back, Tanner was my fav Bear he didn't care how big & bad u are

[fhhfgj]

One of the best movies of my childhood.

[xenophonicus]

“You owe me 30 cents for that burrito!” Tanner Boyle and Private Vasquez from Aliens are two of my favorite supporting characters ever.

[jonstefanik]

Aww, This is a heartbreaking bullying scene. Poor kid. Thank God he's got a buddy like Tanner who doesn't take any shit from anybody.

[phillipsanchez]

There is so much honesty in the characters in this film. People today I fear could not appreciate it for it merits given its edgy content and unapologetic lack of interest in PC language. Cheers to my good old mom who let me watch it way before the R rating would have allowed me to. We sat at the table and discussed it afterwards, and this taught me how to get me a movie for its message and not get lost in the noise of other people's hangups. So many people today could learn from that lesson.

[KarlPfister]

Tanner had that moment at the end of the scene where he realizes he bullied Lupus too.

[michaelhilldc]

"Lupus, could you go somewhere else while I'm eating....You make me sick!"
