Not whatsoever! I'm pretty thick-skinned when it comes to this site, it takes a lot to offend me, and it has to be intentional.

If you had offended, I would definitely have told you so!

Sometimes I just post terse responses.

No worries. icon_smile.gif:)-->

I don't think he got our sarcasm/humor.

Funny thing is (for those who caught it) "wax on, wax off" does appear in Dogma, so my joke there was actually two jokes. We all know he really meant Rocky.

Ummm, Karate Kid

*waits for pawnbroker*

I wonder how Marcus is doing-I called him "Daniel-san" once......

My usual complaint about Karate Kid II was that it was soooo predictable.

Every scene on Okinawa was interrupted by Sato's "Miyagiiii!"

Someone walked by and guessed it seconds before the ONE time it was interrupted by

the storm, when Sato was trapped under the log. I myself guessed the entire

end-scene when the dance-performance began. I was interrupted by the events as

I finished explaining them.

My usual complaint about the trilogy was that they kept contradicting each other.

Movie 1, Miyagi's lamenting the death of his wife, and Daniel sees her obituary.

The secret to the Miyagi family karate: the Crane technique.

"If do right, no can defend." There is NO move that has no counter.

Of course, in the end, he wins by using the Crane.

Movie 2, Miyagi says he never married. [My answer: he lied thru his teeth.]

The secret to the Miyagi family karate: the Drum technique.

Daniel attempts the Crane against Sato's student, who uses the counter and hits him.

Daniel wins by using the Drum technique.

Movie 3, early on, Miyagi announces he will teach Daniel the secret to the Miyagi

family karate: the katas. (The forms, or demonstrations.)

Daniel seems to have completely forgotten the Drum technique in this movie,

and gets beat down in the arena.

Daniel wins by using Kata in the arena.

When we heard they were making "the Next Karate Kid", someone did their impression

of Miyagi contradicting the previous movies for me...

"*miyagi voice* You my first student!"

It was such a good impression I have to mentally separate it from the actual movie.

It was a family-member almost exactly 10 years younger than me.

I did, however, love retelling that story to you, more than once.

The surreal part is how spot-on the imitation was, considering who said it.

=====

Steve!,

Miyagi met with his old flame on Okinawa.

She was forbidden to marry Miyagi long ago-she was promised to Sato, Miyagi's

best friend.

Faced with possibly fighting his best friend to the death for her, Miyagi left

Okinawa years ago.

She now told him that she NEVER married (rather than marry someone she didnt love.)

Miyagi replied HE never married EITHER.

I STILL say he lied thru his teeth. Under the circumstances, it didn't hurt her,

and made her feel a lot better. (A separate discussion would be if the Categorical

Imperative would make this a bad thing regardless.)
