What happens

『ユー・ガッタ・チャンス』は1985年2月9日に公開された日本映画。本来の表記は中黒は星マークで『ユー☆ガッタ☆チャンス』。吉川晃司の芸能界デビュー作『すかんぴんウォーク』に続く吉川晃司×大森一樹監督による「民川裕司3部作」の第2作。翌1986年に『テイク・イット・イージー』が製作され、3部作は完結した。 歌手デビューを果たし、既に武道館を埋めるアイドルスターになった人気絶頂の民川裕司(吉川晃司)が、超過密スケジュールの中でイラ立ち「レールを外れなきゃ前は見えないぜ」と捨てゼリフを吐き、闇雲に走りながら自分を見つめなおし、新たに出発するまでを描く。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
