Line 1: {{~~trope~~work}} [[File:gung-ho_4622.jpg\|frame]] Line 5: Was later made into a TV show with Gedde Watanabe and Scott Bakula. ~~----~~ {{tropelist}} ~~This film provides examples of:~~ * [[The Alleged Car]]: Some of the last few of the 15,000 cars they had to build in a month were...well...they never intended them to ''leave the factory'' like that... * [[California Doubling]]: Many scenes are shot in, of all places, Argentina, home to a Fiat factory that was half-abandoned but still full of partly completed cars and they were allowed to film in. * [[Cultural Posturing]]: {{quote\| '''Kaz:''' From now on, this plant will be run ''our'' way, the way ''we'' know how!~~<br />~~ '''Hunt:''' Oh yeah? Yeah, well if you guys are so great, how come you lost [[World War II\|the big one]]? }} * [[The Eighties]] * [[Hey, ~~Its~~It's That Guy!\|Hey It's That]] <s>Guy</s> [[Hey, ~~Its~~It's That Guy!\|Car]]: European viewers will recognize most of the "Assans" as Fiat Regatas; in the baseball scene Dodge Omnis are used while the original poster and [[VHS]] packaging showed a Plymouth Turismo. * [[Japan Takes Over the World]] * [[My Card]]: "Anyone got any Subaru or Suzuki? No? Go fish." * [[Reassigned to Antarctica]]: Kazuhiro ** [[Reassignment Backfire]] * [[Ripped ~~From~~from the Headlines]]: Japan building factories in or taking over companies in America was a very real concern in [[The Eighties]] (beginning in 1982 when Honda opened a plant in Marysville, OH) and this movie explores the idea of two cultures working together to fulfill a common goal (making big money.) * [[Salaryman]]: Kazuhiro * [[Shout -Out]]: The film takes place in Hadleyville, a probable [[Shout -Out]] to [[Mark Twain]] 's ''The Man Who Corrupted Hadleyburg'', which the plot faintly evoked. * [[Switch to English]]: Takahara Kazuhiro's wife starts speaking Japanese to him in one scene, but he tells her to practice her English and they continue the conversation in English.
