About this product
Product Information
To save jobs in a small Pennsylvania town, cocky Hunt Stevenson (Michael Keaton) goes to Japan and asks the owners to re-open the auto plant where he used to work. Hunt gets what he asks for, but gets a curve ball thrown at him when the Japanese bosses agree to his proposition only if the the plant will be run by the Japanese--who have a far more strict work ethic and expect undying loyalty from the workers. The concept of seven day work weeks and mandatory free overtime doesn't go over big with the American employees, leading to a constant clash between the workers and the management. This amusing culture clash comedy was the directed by Ron Howard.Product Identifiers

Hilarious culture clash by Ron Howard
Gung Ho! has got to be one of the most underviewed underrated movies of our times. A small dying town seeks to revive itself by salvaging an auto plant via Japanese know-how which sounds good in theory until the two cultures actually meet. Ron Howard captured so many truisms about American ethnocentrism that I found myself alternately laughing and grimacing throughout the movie. Hilarious situations, great acting and directing, the movie has a few fast one-liners for adult ears that will go past most children. Definitely worth watching!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Gung Ho or Japanese Me
Gung Ho (DVD) Michael Keaton's Hunt Stevenson is an assertive yes-man on a mission to please his out of work buddies at a new Japanese auto plant. However, their American individualistic let sleeping dogs lie attitude doesn't sit well with their new Japanese managers and head boss, Oishi Kazahiro (Gedde Watanabe). Its a must see east meets west clash of American and Japanese workplace ideals. Neat factory wrapping. Great family style comedy.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
