70s or 80s movie/character trivia
April 2, 2017 7:01 PM Subscribe
Does anyone remember a movie from the 70s or 80s, Bad News Bears-like in the sense that it was about a group of misfits, with a character named 'no toe' who lost his toe when it got severed by his bike chain, and before he could pick it up a dog ate it? I remember the kid as Hawaiian, or Tongan, something like that. I've been searching all day with no results.
Was the sport baseball? Was the team comprised of kids, or teenagers?

Response by poster: It may have been baseball. The details are cloudy enough that I'm not sure. Definitely a team of some sort. I'd say the 'no toe' character was a teen, but some of the others may have been younger.

Best answer: I found it! It's "Take Down". Here's the scene where the kid explains the nickname.
