Trabbi Goes to Hollywood (English title: Driving Me Crazy) is a 1991 American comedy film directed by Jon Turteltaub and starring Thomas Gottschalk, Billy Dee Williams, Michelle Johnson, Dom DeLuise, and James Tolkan.
Gunther Schmidt (Thomas Gottschalk) is a young, eccentric East German inventor who (like many others) attempts to flee across the border to the West using his inventions, but constantly meets with failure.
As Western capitalism moves into Gunther's hometown Engelswald, American tycoon John McReady (George Kennedy), who intends to buy the town to erect a factory there, invites him to go to an Automobile Festival in Los Angeles.
With no German car manufacturers interested in his invention, Gunther decides to try his luck in the United States, a totally new world for him, where he befriends his hotel's parking valet, Max (Billy Dee Williams).
With the deadline for McReady's acquisition of Engelswald coming up, and the purchase price set at $15 million dollars, Gunther is all the more under pressure to get his car back and prevent the conversion of his hometown into a singular factory complex.
