   it was a comedy from the Big '80s or 90s that featured a scene lampooning a   
   group of East Asian tourists with their cameras.   
      
   Recently watched "The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3".   
      
   A group of Japanese officials from Tokyo's subway system are touring   
   the command headquarters of the New York subway system.  They are   
   taking photographs with cameras while New York City Transit Police   
   lieutenant Zachary Garber, played by Walter Matthau, shows them   
   around.   
      
   He makes fun of them and doesn't realize that they speak English until   
   they have to leave because of the subway hijack.   
      
   A 1974 film, though.
