In the Chinese movie *Devils on the Doorstep*, the prisoners taught the Chinese kid to say “にほんじんちょうじょういるよ” so local troops would come to their rescue. However, the kid slipped and fell, after he got back up he only remembered “にほんじん”. When the officer heard this, he said “ああ に**ぽん**じん!”
Why? I know Nippon is the country… just not sure if you can say nipponjin
For anyone interested in viewing the actual segment, it’s at around 57 mins into the movie
