UCLA college student Jonathan Moore (Anthony Edwards) is playing a game called "Gotcha" (popular on mid-1980s college campuses as "Assassin" or "Tag"), wherein the players are all assigned a mock "hit" on another player by use of a harmless paintball gun. Moore and his apartment roommate Manolo go on a vacation to Paris, France. After touring some of Paris, in a cafe Moore meets Sasha Banicek (Linda Fiorentino), a Czechoslovakian girl. Eventually, Jonathan has intercourse with Sasha, losing his virginity.
Jonathan decides to leave Manolo (who is heading to Spain) and go with Sasha to West Berlin to spend more time with her. Jonathan believes that he is in love with Sasha. There, Jonathan and Sasha continue to have sex and even go to an Oktoberfest beer gathering. One night, Sasha tells Jonathan that she has to go to East Berlin to pick up a package. One night after arriving in East Berlin, Sasha leaves their hotel room and walks to dark street corner. There, Sasha meets a German man who tells her the location of the pickup of her package. Meanwhile, Sasha was being monitored by a Soviet agent, who was sitting in a car at a distance. During the day, Sasha tells Jonathan that if she gives him a certain message, it means that he has to leave East Berlin immediately. At a cafe, Sasha gives Jonathan a package and says that a strudel is inside. A little later, Sasha tells Jonathan to meet her at the butcher shop near their hotel. All of a sudden, a Soviet agent begins to chase after Sasha. Sasha decides to use Jonathan (who is holding her package) to unknowingly get the package over to West Berlin. Meanwhile, Sasha is taken by the Soviet agent and East German secret police.
Jonathan goes to Checkpoint Charlie to cross the heavily fortified border into West Berlin. At the East German customs search, Jonathan is stripped of his clothes and given a cavity search. Meanwhile, Sasha is stripped and searched for possible espionage evidence. Vlad arrives at the border crossing to search for Jonathan, however Jonathan passes the border safely before he can be captured. Once in West Berlin, Jonathan feels liberated by the Westernized society. In the hotel, Jonathan receives a message from Sasha to meet him at a specified location. Jonathan finds out that his hotel room was broken into and robbed of his traveler's checks. Soviet agents eventually find Jonathan in West Berlin and chase him throughout a public park. Jonathan jumps into a water canal and manages to escape from the Soviets and stumbles upon a German rock group headed for Hamburg, who offer him a ride to the airport.
The rock group successfully get Jonathan to the airport (using full-face makeup to sneak him past a checkpoint) and Jonathan finally arrives in Los Angeles Tom Bradley International Airport and to his apartment. Soon, Vlad and a band of Soviet agents arrive too in Los Angeles. Once home, Jonathan stumbles upon a film canister, which was planted by Sasha. Jonathan visits his parents and tells them what happened in Germany but they cannot believe a word of it and think Jonathan is on drugs. Jonathan decides to call the FBI then the Central Intelligence Agency for help. Jonathan returns to find his apartment broken into and looted.
The CIA officer tells Jonathan to give them the photo film canister. At the Los Angeles headquarters of the CIA, Jonathan spots Sasha who looks like she was working there. Jonathan eventually meets up with Sasha. Sasha admits that she is Cheryl Brewster, a CIA agent, originally from Pittsburgh. Out of nowhere, Vlad and his gang begin to chase Jonathan and Cheryl on the UCLA campus. Jonathan eliminates all the Soviets with a tranquilizer gun which he gets from the campus veterinary sciences building. The Soviets are arrested, the CIA agents thank Jonathan for his (indirect) help in obtaining the film, and Sasha tells him she wants to continue their relationship.
After they part, Jonathan talks to a pretty student who rebuffs him coldly. As she walks away, he aims the tranquilizer pistol and shoots her in the rear.
师徒对手戏太舒服了。影帝唯一的问题就是太帅了。
虽然get不到漫才的笑点，但是能get这群家伙的真。双面北野武，铁汉柔情典范，影帝歪嘴那一下还是很有神韵的。配乐好听。
「不要讨好观众，要由你告诉观众什么是有趣的」「不要让观众笑你，你要逗观众笑」师傅是很有智慧的人啊
无聊的人生，我死也不要。北野武自己拍会怎样？
感觉有些四六不靠了，说是讲漫才吧，同样是网飞出的同题材剧《火花》已经是天花板的存在了，行业的艰苦和个人的“确丧”都有了，还是反类型的叙事。讲师徒情吧，直到电影最后40分钟才开始正式点题，我总感觉师徒情用这点戏份来塑造显得不够深。情节的铺垫和人物的塑造都是要在篇幅上下功夫的，日常感叹电影单纯的被视为讲故事工具，局限性太大了。
大家都是这样怀着梦想饿死的。千春那么喜欢唱歌，观众却只想要看胸部。北野武的踢踏舞太赞了。不要迎合观众、你要告诉TA们什么才有趣！师徒二人最后的酒馆，互相吐槽，回忆往日，没有想到竟然。。没有什么奇迹，只是一步一步，向着梦想前进。有时候被暴击。
3.5/5 柳乐优弥故意放大北野武标志性面瘫触电和驼背个人特征以缩小外形的差距，其实有点无计可施的用力过猛。中段有点拖沓，后段其实又有点故意煽情。门胁麦实在不适合艳舞女郎的角色。毛病挺多，但总体来讲还算OK。
两次重启人生，在戏剧路上奔驰的男儿物语。不过，与其说是北野武的个人传记，镜头聚焦在他的学徒时代、因此更接近“法兰西座”的群像剧。深见千三郎的个人魅力十足，活脱脱一名刀子嘴豆腐心、不惜施教的伯乐，也是我见过的大泉洋演技发挥得最好的一次；柳乐优弥对北野武的面部神态模仿更是惟妙惟肖到惊人的地步，痞子模样内心对踢踏舞、短剧和漫才的激情，纵使时代的浪潮也没能浇灭。
（虽然是2021年末出的，抱歉，我看电影太慢了 <(_ _)> ）
那些为梦想奋力拼搏的日子，永远是最动人的。
深深的師父與徒弟的感情。師父每次說八嘎雅路的時候，都好性感，哈哈哈。
好久没哭喜欢么爽了，煽情煽的漂亮啊。 故事真的太简洁了，冷静下来想想， 每一步都没有出乎意料，就是做的很扎实。
最后那场戏如果找北野武本人出镜，可以给四星。
哭死。竟然感觉北野武跟师傅学技的样子有些像大圣，仔细想想甚至精神内核也是一致的。
高跟鞋、鲸，有好几处call back，北野武是个很念旧的人，总觉得这样的人才能拍/导出常青的作品。“我是浅草的深见”，浅草小子不就是深见吗。
北野武天王。已经封神到有人拍传记片歌颂。北野武亲自参演，给该片盖章许可。那么多旧喜剧演员，身为北野的师父，就此留名。学徒制得到缅怀，严师出高徒，师父有义务照顾弟子。弟子以师傅为父。北野武自传在前出版，母子相依，命中缺父。看到自己的分身，北野不知道怎么想。王者的步伐踏上美丽的旧世界。打上句号了？。
“不管在舞台上怎么装疯卖傻 ，（谐星）下了台就要让人觉得帅”
1.服、化、道尤其是几十年前的那种感觉，做得细致到位
最后一幕仿佛在重刻《泰坦尼克号》，可惜前面并没有铺垫好场景记忆点，达不到《泰》那样照亮一个场景，这里的回忆马上就鲜活起来的情感高潮。导演仿佛一直拿着聚光灯，圈出他想表达的重点，这就不如同样讲述年代梦想的《黄色的眼泪》浑然天成了。在心里给舞台上的大泉洋加一星——再一次觉得我瓣评分可以单独加个buff分，在现有“推荐”的标准上，横向对比同类电影，比如我给《黄色的眼泪》4星，就不能给此片4星，但这片我也推荐的。
又哭又笑，有被感动到。吐槽的点是老年北野武有点吓人。年轻女主有点像林依晨耶。
