Storyline
An eccentric marketing guru visits a Coca-Cola subsidiary in Australia to try and increase market penetration. He finds zero penetration in a valley owned by an old man who makes his own soft drinks, and visits the valley to see why. After "the Kid's" persistence is tested he's given a tour of the man's plant, and they begin talking of a joint venture. Things get more complicated when the Coca-Cola man begins falling in love with his temporary secretary, who seems to have connections to the valley. Written by Ed Sutton <esutton@mindspring.com>

Trivia
The movie's The Coca-Cola Kid (1985) title and story content had to be cleared with the Coca-Cola Company according to David Stratton in his book "The Avocado Plantation". A disclaimer is presented at the start of the movie and an even shorter abridged version of it appears on the film's trailer. See more »Goofs
The room service man hands Becker a silenced revolver. With the exception of obsolete Russian Nagant M1895, revolvers are not able to be suppressed because the cylinder/barrel gap allows hot gas, and therefore sound, to escape. See more »Crazy Credits
Catering: 'Kaos' (Highly recommended by the whole cast & crew) See more »Soundtracks

Lots of local (Australian) colour and fun being made of corporate America. This is what we like. :-)
It's about 10 years since I last saw the film and I still sometimes finding myself humming the song, "choke back the tears when there's no Coca-Cola".
Not a great film, but another welcome Aussie comedy.
