5.0 out of 5 stars Great Film
Loved this movie years ago, and was glad I added this flick again the again recently! Funny, and a cool movie! Glad I added this to my collection!
5.0 out of 5 stars Keaton best movie…
I am a huge fan of Keaton and this is the best movie of his vast career. People will suggest it has racist tropes, but as an Asian growing up in the 80s, the tropes are not racist but meaningful and tell a great heartfelt message of cooperation & achievement by past enemies & present rivals.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good story and we love Michael Keaton

4.0 out of 5 stars 4* Funny& Relevant Yesteryear & Today!
Liked this movie since first viewing years ago, still "makes me raff"(rent the movie& you'll understand the quote),touching at times& still a relevant message for the present. Collaboration, teamwork, mutual understanding always brings better results.One of Keaton's,and a lot of the rest of the cast's best! Rent/view this one, you'll probably agree,maybe even purchase!

Funny. Those that remember Japan Inc., might find it less funny.
5.0 out of 5 stars Michael Keaton between two cultures: the good laughs can prompt a lot of thinking
Michael Keaton gave one of his best performances in this film about the Japanese takeover of an ailing auto plant in Pennsylvania. It is a "comedy" that has a serious side too. This 1986 film reflected the anxiety Americans then felt about economic competition from Japan. That the anxiety has now passed should not keep anyone from watching, laughing, and enjoying the film -- and thinking about its themes.One theme is "us" vs. "them": The new Japanese managers and the American workers both think everything will be fine when the others change. This moderates (for the characters in the story, and for the film viewer) as the story unfolds. It diminished by the end of the film when the Japanese managers and the American workers have come, at least part way, to understanding one another.It is now more than 20 years since the film was released. Japanese companies have now built and managed many American auto factories. American businesses have now embraced many "best practices" they learned from Japanese management. And Americans buy Toyotas, Nissans, and Hondas because of the Japanese commitment to quality and zero defects that sparked conflict on the assembly line in the film."Gung Ho" has a number of verbal and sight gags -- like the town of Hadleyville turning out (Chinese) dragon dancers to greet the new Japanese management team at the airport. Another is Japanese managers saying one thing, with Michael Keaton hearing something different. Murray Chapman's screenplay was quite skillfully written.To my mind, though, the most interesting dimension of the plot and Michael Keaton's performance was to highlight the difficult situation of the person who moves (or negotiates or mediates) between cultures, especially at the beginning when the two cultures/companies/parties don't know much about one another. In the plot, Keaton tried to finesse the differences with the force of his own personality. It worked for awhile, but it wasn't sustainable in the end. The film could be profitably viewed in training sessions that deal with intercultural negotiation, change, binational meetings, and joint ventures.-30-

英語の練習に
昔、英会話のビデオ教材として見せられた事があったので懐かしくて購入しました。辞書通りに使った表現なのに実際は危なっかしい意味だったとか、日米の考え方の違いについて教わりました。学生の子供も一緒に見てくれるのか楽しみの作品です。主題歌がプリテンダーズのDon't get me wrongなのも好き。
