 The shot of the baseball bat at the very end of the credits was a joke  between the director and the producers.  When shooting the batting cage  sequence, the crew demanded that Kizer shoot a shot of Norris putting  his bat down before talking to the bad guys.  Kizer thought the shot was  unnecessary, but shot the insert anyway.  All during editing, the  producers kept asking if the "bat shot" was ever going to be used.  So  Kizer put it at the very end of the movie.
