Mr Miyagi is harder than Chuck Norris

[Brendan]

I know it is a long established fact that there is nobody harder than Chuck Norris but I have recently had the pleasure of watching the Karate Kids 1, 2 & 3 once again and my opinion has swayed. Mr Miyagi, full name Mr Kesuke Miyagi, could have Chuck Norris for breakfast and make him cry like a little girl. He would do it with The Crane while painting a fence and pruning a bonsai.

There is no one harder.

Except maybe Yoda.

I am putting this in the Lounge but I would just like to state for the record that I feel it warrants its own place in the Drawing Room.

The Chuck Norris is particularly fine today.

[Jah Lush]

Pish. They're both a couple of pussies. I spit on on Mr Miyagi's chopsticks.

[Brendan]

Jah Lush, I concede that you are harder than both of them but as you are a fictional character you do not count.

[bigbadwolf]

I thought Mr Miyagi was Yoda.

Anyway,

Brendan has raised an interesting yet Taboo question as to who was/is the overall Sensei of the 80's.

I'm personally going to have to side with Brendan on this one as I believe that Norris didn't bring enough mystery to the role where as Miyagi certainly led his audience to believe that he had just one more death star up his sleeve, where as Norris didn't have any sleeves to decieve us or his opponent.

Norris didn't have a crane leg to stand on when it came to L.A's finest fence builder/painter.

Nuff said Brendan san.

Oh yeah "Chuck Norris " hard...

Or kung-fusing ?

Yeah you mike *uckin' wanna bee !

W**F

[bigbadwolf]

Woof,

I agree that Chuck Norris is certainly not a force to be reckoned with but unlike Miyagi, he wont have a vengeful Samurai ghost that will roam amongst mortals to exact justice on it's soul's behalf. Besides...if Miyagi was unfortunate enough to have that hair style bestowed upon his wise self he'd at least have the honour to commit Seppuku than live in eternal shame.

He wouldn't go on Youtube either, he'd appear in your dreams...or at the bottom of a tea cup.

This bad ass ninja is better than all of them:

Well if people aren?t going to take this seriously.

[bigbadwolf]

Errrmmm, excuse me Brendan but I think you'll find that I've been treating this subject with the upmost respect and sincerety that it deserves thank you very much!

Seriously overlooked the REAL master BRUCE LEE as KATO In The Green Hornet.

I rest my case.

Waaa Yaaaaa.

W**F

[Brendan]

My apologies.

While Hong Kong Fuey has a karate chop second to none he is unfortunately far to two dimensional to rival Mr Miyagi.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

While I would love to wax on lyrically about the qualities of Mr Miyagi, I must respectfully point out that Grasshopper could whup both of them at the same time, with one hand tied behind his back.

[FatherJack]

Mr Miyagi rules!!

Wax on wax off.......

[mockney piers]

Does Timothy Claypole count as a Kung Fu master? RIP err twice over I guess.

[macroban]

Mr Miyagi has a neat move - the honking of the nose.

One week vacation in East Dulwich would see Mr Miyagi wipe out all the East Dulwich Killer Klowns.

[Annasfield]

Martin Skrtel would eat them all for breakfast.

[Brendan]

Mr Miyagi has never been attacked by a tree.

[Brendan]

trees are more sensible than these guys

Meiko Kaji http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtfKPbGIbKU&feature=related would have any of the above for breakfast (except for Hong Kong Fooey, she'd have him for supper...)

[tommy]

...but do any of them know the quart of blood technique?

[Keef]

Miyagi is harder than Norris, but the little fella from Kick Boxer was also wise and mental.

[EDKiwi]

and no one can catch flies with chopsticks like Miyagi, he's a waxing, painting, fly catching machine.

[bigbadwolf]

Obama san.
