Major League is considered one of the best baseball movies of all time, but its original twist ending would have completely changed the story.
Major League is a shining example of the comedy sports movie genre, but its original twist ending would have given it an entirely different story. Released in 1989 to a heap of critical and commercial success, Major League was the perfect spoof of the classic baseball movie and featured a wealth of underdog characters. Besides being sidesplitting, the premise was based on a genuine love of America's pastime and delivered exciting baseball action on top of its laughs.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY One of Major League's strongest aspects is its characters, and it delivers a compelling villain to go along with the conventional inspiring sports movie underdog heroes. Portrayed by Margaret Whitton, Major League's villain, Rachel Phelps, is just the right amount of dastardly to make the audience root for her eventual downfall.
Why The Theatrical Ending Was Better Even though the twist would have been humorous, and it would've transformed Rachel Phelps from the stereotypical "evil woman" character she was shown to be in Major League, the triumphant theatrical ending with the division series win is much better for the movie. The twist ending would have made all the characters look foolish in hindsight and made it seem as if the reason the team was bad was that they weren't trying hard enough.
Sports movies where the protagonist loses were all the rage in the dour days of the 1970s, but the films of the '80s were much more inspirational, even if they were funny. Cheesy corporate villains were a staple of '80s movies, and Rachel Phelps was the quintessential yuppie nemesis, even if it came with a deluge of dated and sexist jokes at her expense.
