ROFL. This commercial is hilarious, being familiar with Harrison's wink-wink acting style.

WongKaiKo...you are exactly right in your interpretation of this commercial. I speak some Japanese and that is what happens in the commercial.

He says "Kombanwa" when he enters, which means "good evening".

It's driving me nuts, why did harrison have to repeat himself? First he asks for the beer, then the chef says something, then harrison says "no no..." then repeats himself? What the heck did the chef say???
Only thing I can think of is that maybe he didn't think he'd want the native beer? and offered him some american beer instead? lol

If my ears are working correctly, the chef says "Kirin ippon" to the female co-worker. My Japanese is terrible, but I think what the chef says translates out to "one bottle of Kirin", but the fearless gaijin Indiana Solo doesn't understand this (obviously). Thus he thinks the guy's talking about a different type of beer, and feels the need to correct him, god forbid he gets one of Kirin's other offerings, instead of the lager.

Actually, it makes sense in this CM. He asks for Kirin with a thick American accent, and somehow the chef understands him and tells the waitress "one beer" (biiru ippon, not kirin ippon) and thats why harrison ford corrects him, although its all very weird. Who cares! Just get a beer and get out, haha.
