From what I can tell, there are only two actors that are the same from the firt movie. James Earl Jones (Mr. Mertle) and Karen Allen (Mrs. Smalls, the mother of the main kid from the first movie). Also I think the movie centers around the little brother of Scotty Smalls, Johnny.
Does anyone have screencaps of the trailer from the Taxi DVD? I don't want to have to rent it.
Here are some pictures from the set, it looks like it takes place in the '70s.
A synopsis:
The story takes place 10 years after the first film (set in the 1970s) and has Saul and his pals allowing three girls to join their baseball team. And when a spaceship model belonging to the father of one of the girls falls on the other side of the fence into the yard of a scary neighbour, they have to figure out how to retrieve it.
A spaceship? A baseball made sense... but a spaceship? I thought they established in the first movie that the neighbour was a nice man and his dog was just misunderstood. And didn't the dog become the mascot of the Sandlot kids?
