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.
茨维格的中篇小说里，最喜欢《象棋的故事》。电影虽不及原著，但改编也不错，男主演技好，最后的棋局拍的相当精彩。
标题和内容相得益彰，题材太过于恐怖和暗黑了，心理承受力差着慎看
太恶趣味了，结局怎么回事？突然就结束了。220420//
这恐怖的拖沓，无聊，慢唧唧，夕阳散步感真的很法国。字幕翻译一直在致敬黄秋生，也蛮搞笑的。
血腥搞笑喜剧，把ZZ不正确狂踩了个遍，素食，动物保护，黑人，女权，穆斯林……狂Q黄秋生的《人肉叉烧包》
刀第一个时太卧槽了，伊朗肉很好吃啊，欲罢不能啊！
小众片子。污名化素食者肯定的。但也没给吃肉开脱吧。
7分，讽刺极端素食主义有点意思，女主太婊了，一个劲撺掇激将老公去杀人，自己吃肉吃的飞起，到后来老公不想干了，她来一句反正我没杀过人，太恶心了
人生的含义是什么，是奋斗。奋斗的动力是什么，是成功。
第一次看这种片，原来这就是传说中的恶趣味……偶尔看一次还是觉得蛮新奇……
这个故事教育了我们，家有贤妻，丈夫在外不做横事。以及，那个姑爷没死就挺遗憾的。
剧本太妙了。让极端素食者、极端女权、性变态者，都死远点去。一堆变态。或者把它们杀掉做成肉食卖掉或吃掉，也是不错选择。哈哈
一部带着黑色幽默的荒诞恐怖片，试图传达“尊重他人自由选择”的价值观
在这糟糕的处境下，我被迫分裂成黑我和白我，以免被可怕的虚无压垮！赢得金表。荷马史诗-奥德赛。
题材新奇，但没有预想的有趣，不过整体基调还是挺诙谐幽默的，也适当中和了下尺度不算小的肢解斩件画面，中后段一处动物世界捕猎和男主扑杀素食者的蒙太奇感觉带有隐喻，极端的素食主义者大概会抵制这片吧。（字幕君把电视节目里的连环杀手意译成黄秋生和<人肉叉烧包>）
爽片一个，充满法国的黑色幽默，让人反感不起来的法国夫妇
2、如果吃人，那人和畜生有什么区别？
字幕组玩梗高手。“黄秋生”“人肉叉烧包”“糠糟之妻”“叫广东人帮你找狗”
片子想面面俱到讲很多东西，但感觉很多东西都没讲深，只是看个乐，关于讽刺素食者麻烦多事这点，我想说双方都没有体会到对方感到快乐的点在哪里，就说这么多。结尾上升到了道德和欲望博弈的高度，又加上了一丢丢的循环意味，这就是我说这个电影还行的理由。
作为一个喜爱美食的广东人，搞不清是嘲笑素食者呢还是湖建人
