There would be teams of scientists constantly trying to get ahold of him to figure out how he could do that, probably the government would likely try to force him into tests etc.

Around the 17 minute mark, a low-flying Ralph is chasing after the villain's car. The scene features the front view of William Katt flailing about, composited over footage taken from the rear of a moving vehicle. Intercut with this is live footage of Katt's flying stunt double, seen from the back, reaching out for the villains' sedan. While taking a corner, it's possible to see that the stunt double is actually leaning over the edge of a truck's tray in a diving position.

I remember loving this one as a kid. I'm curious if the choice to use Little League style uniforms and make changes to the game (they're using a pre-1969 playoff structure) was to with avoiding having to compensate Major League Baseball.🤔 I find it hard to believe someone would use those uniforms on purpose. GAH was on ABC, so perhaps it was because NBC had a TV contract with MLB.

Ralph comes up to bat in the bottom of the ninth, and when the pitcher throws the ball to him you can see his uniform number (#15) peeling off of his jersey showing that it is nothing more than an iron on, similar to what a little league baseball uniform has. Real MLB uniforms have the names and numbers embroidered on them.

At the 2nd game when Deborah calls the Manager to put Hinkley in the game, the announcer says it's the top of the 3rd inning. Just after the call, the two thugs kidnap Deborah and take her to a house. When Ralph and Maxwell arrive only a few minutes later, the radio that is on in the house says the game is going into the 9th inning. Not nearly enough time time had passed for the game to go from the 3rd to the 9th inning.

You could probably use P=MV. You'd have to have an estimate of Bills velocity though and you can't get that from being thrown back 8 feet. You'd need to know the angle of his initial velocity. But since initial P must be the same as final P we get this equation (0.31967 lbs) x (Vball mph) = (200 lbs) x (Vbill) ball mass. ball speed Bill mass. Bill speed % % % (Vball mph) = (625.645197) x (Vbill) So, if we take a wild guess and plug in the number of 25mph for Bill's speed we get. (Vball mph) = (625.645197) x (25 mph) Vball= 15641mph
