The movie where you ask yourself "Hey, isn't that Norm from Cheers?" And yes, you would be correct. Not only is George Wendt playing someone other than his classic character from the TV show Cheers, but he's also kind of a jerk throughout 75% of this movie. Dang!
Gung Ho features Michael Keaton as Hunt Stevenson (classic movie character name) and he's just saved his city by convincing a Japanese car company to buy an American car plant, and pretty much where much of the city works. This Ron Howard directed movie has a ton of laughs, is definitely rooted in the 1980s and there are some interesting culture dynamics.
Field: "I always laugh at the scene when Keaton is pretending there's windshield in the car when the big boss comes inside the plant at the end. It makes me laugh every time."
Dynamite analysis, Field. Find out more of what Field had to say and Butler, too. He speaks in this episode as well.
This isn't our first Ron Howard 80s film. Check out Night Shift!
