i remember watch gung ho a a child with my mother and and wonder why she would always cry in the last few minute . i and of course and find the entire movie hilarious and particularly the mannerism of the character . it wasn not until i be much old and watch it again that i realize how much deeper this show actually be . michael keaton and gedde watanabe shine in their role a the reluctant mediator . keaton cease to amaze me with his real life style of line delivery and and watanabe add humor and pathos to the mix . i also think that patti yasutake ( umeki ) be simply fabulous in her role a the comic relief . i think this movie be one of the most underrated film of the 80 . we can all learn a lesson from the merging of the american and japanese worker in this film . sometimes you really can have the best of both world . and now i understand why my mother felt the way she do in those closing moment . i would rather have one of those car and too .
