In the 1959 movie Don't Give Up the Ship, a US Naval officer played by Jerry Lewis finds himself stranded on a Japanese-occupied island shortly after VJ Day. When Japanese soldiers capture him, he informs them that the war is over. The Japanese commander then asks him, "OK, who win?" Lewis replies, "we win." The Japanese officer then points his Nambu pistol at his head and asks once again, "who win?" Lewis then replies, "you win."

Shortly afterwards, the Japanese commander receives a message as to the war's outcome and his unit surrrenders to Lewis.

I seem to remember a hold out on Guam who finally surrendered in the 70’s if I remember correctly. Probably out of fear of the island tipping over. Anyway, I went there in ‘47 as a babe in arms (well, not armed) and didn’t even know I might come under sniper fire. I could have one upped hildabeast. LOL!
