The part where Miyagi reveals that he's been secretly teaching karate to Daniel, is my second most favourite movie scene of all time, slightly overshadowed by the scene where Tom Cruise learns that Dustin Hoffman is his childhood hero, "Rainman"...

Ron Thomas (Bobby) was the only cast member that had martial arts experience. He lied about it and pretended not to know anything until Pat E Johnson guessed and he admitted it. Darryl Vidal, the semi finalist that lost to Johnny was the one doing the crane kick on the beach stump, doubling for Mr Myagi.

[@PHN-2024]

Remember Pat did the Karate Kid #4 Movie with Hillary Swank, So there's No Loyalty between them.

[@NJTransit1985]

All of this is very carefully worded. The two had an amazing chemistry together on screen. At Pat’s funeral Ralph declared that he was “forever his sensei.” That suggests a better relation than this stupid video suggests. They’re not roommates or family so it’s not like they are involved with their intimate details.

Ralph Macchio did play it perfectly: Daniel really is not a sympathetic character or sweet kid -- He's actually kind of a whiny little punk who almosts asks to be picked on. But, the bullies play their parts so convincingly & with such intensity that you wanna see Daniel kick their asses in the end

[@movieswelove99]

Yea... that's a good point!

[@ThomasRobinson-by2wm]

Not so. Daniel's a good kid who's just headstrong at times. Moving to a new city where he doesn't know anyone, saying goodbye to his friends and family in Jersey, and getting picked on (nearly) all the time in his new school, of course Daniel might seem "whiny". But I guess fighting back and not letting bullies push him around means Daniel "asked to be picked on".

[@Tarantulisimo]

@@ThomasRobinson-by2wm Yes yes I know that Daniel is actually a good kid who's a headstrong fish out of water -- I've seen the movie. I wasn't trying to get into an in-depth psychoanalysis of Daniel & go through his whole origin story, I was merely saying that on the surface he doesn't come across as sympathetic kid (by design), & that by coming across as whiny in high school, it does lend itself to being picked on. But again, if he hadn't been picked on then he wouldn't have become The Karate Kid, so in the end the universe unfolded as it should

[@ThomasRobinson-by2wm]

@@Tarantulisimo He actually is more sympathetic and you don't have to look to hard at that. The only time Daniel starts getting "whiny" is after the Cobras ran him down a frickin hill. If that's a reason to pick on him, it's a shit one.

Martin lives about 10 min from me here in Nashville. I did some plumbing work on his house after he moved in. Billy was already living here, and talked Martin into packing up and moving to Nashville. He doesn’t live in a big fancy home. It’s a 1 story older house with a lot of land. He lives by himself. He’s a cool guy that loves to talk about the karate kid movie. I asked him one day when I was at his house,, about the scene where he punched the car windows that shattered. I asked if it was real glass or sugar glass…. He told me that scene was filmed twice, a year apart. The glass was gimmicked to be mechanically shattered as he was punching, to where he never touches the window,, but the equipment didn’t work on the 2nd window, and he ended up putting his fist through the window for real. It cut him up real bad and caused some serious damage. He came back a year later after being completely healed up, to finish filming the scene… he said that the shot of his fist shattering the window and his arm going through, was filmed the first session. So when they came back the next year. They filmed him pulling his fist back out of the window, showing the blood

Thanks for advice. I'm far from professional and figured everything out on my own... trial and error. I use adobe premier elements to edit... pretty crappy. Got no idea how to pan audio in adobe.

[@thefullsp]

@@movieswelove99 No worries, everyone has to start somewhere, I would learn resolve - 1. its free 2. much better NLE 3. Audio is a dream in it 4. exporting is also dreamy - use less transition effects. use pace light and movement. the whole idea of an edit is to convey emotions through sound and images, a simple dip to black of 8 frames to move from scene to scene to seperate different moments IE when you top 10 moves from 10 to 9 use a dip, then within the scenes try to not use transitions or keep the same transition generic, when you use too many different transitions it feels messy. Panning dialogue will help it cut through music cleaner.

The fact about William Zabka and Ralph Macchio being close friends for almost 40 years is not true. William Zabka and Pat Morita where close friends since the first movie and after the funeral he and Ralph became close friends (2005). So close friends for almost 20 years, but not the 20 before that.

[@MichaelB-od3xh]

I saw Pat Morita(Mr. Miyagi) at Imperial Palace Casino almost 20 years ago around 2005. I was so excited because I love the Karate Kid and loved the Miyagi character. He got a marker for $500 to play craps. I decided to quickly introduce myself and when I approached him he was rude and mean. I was shocked obv because I was expecting this super nice grandfatherly type that I saw in the Karate Kid movies. I walked away and talked to a Pit Boss who told me that Pat Morita a regular gambler there and was unfriendly and rude to everyone. He also told me he was a degenerate gambler who lost lots of money. Also fyi Imperial Palace Casino is no longer around but it was a dump. Pretty old and run down. So to see Pat Morita there was a shock but the fact that he was a regular there tells me he probably lost most of his savings. He died a few years later, my guess broke.
