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.
有趣，但故事平凡，略显俗气，但把中年女性的矛盾摆在桌子上说已经很舒服很有趣了。And where to find a lovely boy like this？
影片完美还原了许多中国特色，中国祀堂，加拿大的唐人街，用小熊猫作为设定，门口的石狮子换成了小熊猫，还有经典的道士、神话传说，发生在2002年的元素应有尽有，包括人物眼睛放大时的画风，操场桌椅底下的口香糖，年代感古装电视剧。
关于接纳自己的青春题材动画，故事其实很传统，华人导演也终于将中国元素与全世界都能读懂的主题和情感融合在一起，这才是自然而然的文化输出，不单单是为了迎合某个族裔的口味或者盯着他们口袋里的钞票。
可可爱爱。尤其是给东亚的小朋友们讲:尊重父母重要，更重要的是尊重自己，做自己。
每一个女性，都拥有爱美、好色和快乐的权利😭
the further you go, the prouder I'll be
居然是个话剧电影。悟了，只有鸭才有耐心去懂一个女人。
1，Leo Grande非常敬业；2，想有一个Leo Grande
红熊猫可爱疯了！想知道妈妈的熊猫为啥有那么大。故事很简单，但流畅可爱。为啥无法在国内过审呢？是宣扬了追星还是把柴尼斯文化搞得特古老诡异？安妮胃，想起我小时候的电子宠物鸡，最后因为我懒得打扫它的粑粑给臭死了，导演跟我一代人～
女主真的很像一位越南裔油管博主，结尾妈妈说“你走得越远，我就越骄傲”恐怕是永远不能relate
小熊猫飞跃的样子太萌了😭可能因为太过有共鸣，导致全程哭了好几次，尤其是最后一刻钟。认识自己，接受自己，与家人和解并脱离他们的束缚，是我们成为真正女人的开始，然而我自己还没有成功。有一部华人亚裔女性主导的动画片还是蛮值得鼓励的。
谁不想变成一只giant fluffy panda呢？但这也太stereotype了吧，皮克斯我看错你了。
与家庭、与自己的和解，真的是亚裔创作永远的主题。配乐非常东方非常好听，等原声碟~
青春期的伤痛大多来源于被父母教条困住的开始寻找自我的渴望，青春里的每一次嘶吼与变形都是对家庭关系的撕扯，我们往后的人格、观念以及对待子女的态度也正是在这「自我」与「家庭」间的一次次拉扯中成型，悲剧喜剧就这么一代又一代的无止境的延续下去，多年回首，尽是狼狈。不喜欢叛逆期这个词，「叛变」与「忤逆」天然就带有着「君臣」与「驯化」的不平等属性，结尾的大战其实也昭示唯有「血与破坏」才能带来全新的关系变革，男女也是如此。
有点get不到，既然想好了做为什么又絮絮叨叨絮絮叨叨...而且一直刺探别人的私生活就真的很无理啊，都说了是自己的选择了。现实生活中有修养这么好的男妓吗...Leo真的非常非常非常nice了。诚实的面对自己的欲望这点还是挺好的，想到隔壁以色事人才叫贱，真的还有太长的路要走了。emma的小虎牙太迷人了。
满屏的中国风好评，本片既有对教育的反思，又有对自己情绪的掌控，成长不是压抑自己的内心，而是坦然并认可自己的不足，接受自己的不完美。
PS.我也想抱抱红色熊猫
好不皮克斯（看到说这电影是包宝宝加长版真的有笑到
好想看演唱会啊！！！！！😭😭😭
还挺感叹到了人老珠黄皮肤松弛下垂的年龄是否在镜子前能有勇气审视自己的身体 接纳自己 取悦自己 小麦色小哥好帅 前半段还有点搞笑还边想着针不戳不愧是高价服务 到后来的攻破防线 貌似每个人都有无法触及的痛和掩饰的自卑 女主这个年龄和状态应该没有什么好顾虑的了 做到了身心释放 真好哇
