Mr Miyagi is harder than Chuck Norris

[bigbadwolf]

I was going to use that clip SKS but on reflection I thought that the voice over was a little childish. Better to keep things simple eh.

In future however, I'd greatly appreciate it if you didn't copy me in such a blatant fashion.

Thanks.

Shifu is pretty neat with a pair of chopsticks, as is Po; though the latter is probably the only master sporting two black eyes

[bigbadwolf]

CGI doen't count, bonehead!

Watch out BBW this kitty and its sensei could wolf you down in seconds...

[bigbadwolf]

Behave yourself. No one and I mean no one tangles with me or my gang, capiche!

[Shu.Kurimu.Sensei]

Heh, having climbed mountains in Hokkaido where bears roamed, only armed with a bell and a stick, I can safely say that seeing a bear from several hundred meters away is scarier than seeing wolves [the consensus being much closer and consider yourself bear-shit...) Though I think its great that wolves are apparently going to be [or already are?] re-introduced into some parts of the UK.

Meh, I'll see your wolvies and raise with an "Ika battle royale da!"

Mr Miyagi never actually caught a fly.

 

[Brendan]

Oh he could have if he wanted to. He was just training that Daniel kid so that he could stop getting his arse kicked by all and sundry and leave Miyagi to his quest of bringing about world peace through bonsai alignment and a perfectly timed nose tweak.

This is one of the many lesser known sub plots in the story.

I had a mega 80s crush on Elizabeth Shue. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

[Jeremy]

Shue is awesome.

There's actually a Mr Miyagi "biography" on wikipedia, written in a factual style. Some people have far too much time on their hands.

As there is for many other historical figures.

Ralph Macchio had a weird disease that made him look young, he was in his fifties when he filmed Karate Kid, FACT!!!!!!!!!

[bigbadwolf]

I think Mockney's onto something here, 47 years old?

He did/does look very young! He was in his twenties when he made the first one, and probably not far off 30 when he made part 3!

That sounds like a new business venture mockers, harvesting 'young cells' and inplanting into every female over fort five.

I expect the dragons would fund it!

Mr Miyagi vs Chuck Norris

[Brendan]

Sorry just did that to see if I could make this thread come up on google.

[mockney piers]

Ooh, number three!! Prawn won ton with sweet and sour sauce.

[Brendan]

From wikipedia ?Chuck Norris purportedly turned down the role of John Kreese because he did not want to portray a character that reinforced a negative stereotype of martial arts.?

Was afraid of getting karate chopped into little bits and made into won ton with sweet and sour sauceby Mr Miyagi more like...

[Brendan]

Mr Miyagi makes better won ton than Chuck Norris.

[Jeremy]

Mr Miyagi was Japanese (although US citizenship), so probably would have preferred to turn Chuck Norris into tempura or something.

[Brendan]

Jeremy san, Miyagi?s ancestor, while out fishing and drunk on rice wine, was lost at sea and ended up in China. This is where he learnt his fighting skills which, upon his return to Okinawa, he developed into the now legendary Miyagi Family Karate.[1]

Is it not plausible that while in China he also learned the art of steaming the succulent Chinese dumpling? A skill that he no doubt passed on to his descendants.

It's possible. Perhaps that would make him the creator of the gyoza?

[Brendan]

Is that something similar to taking tea with the parson?
