Hey, there's nothing funny about The Karate Kid. Nothing.
Every time I read the thread title, despite knowing full well what the thread is about, I read Ali as Muhammad Ali
Sure there was, the scene where Daniel started dancing around when Miyagi was teaching him how to punch, that was funny.Hey, there's nothing funny about The Karate Kid. Nothing.
NO! That was serious training right there. Deadly serious.
You people (meaning you and other people I decide are somehow like you) have no sense of the importance of training. You think painting a fence is painting a fence. You think Myagi was just getting free labor from Daniel. You think a crane kick can be blocked. Well, if done right, no can block!
::stomps off in a huff::
Some people think all the scenes where Daniel gets beaten up are funny because they don't like Daniel. Yes training is very serious and important, in real life, but this was a movie. You're right that Miyagi was not getting free labor from Daniel but by the same token Daniel was not getting free Karate lessons from Miyagi, Miyagi was getting lots of stuff done for him in the process of Daniel getting the Karate lessons, he was getting his cars waxed, his deck sanded, and his fence and house painted.
And the crane kick can be blocked as shown in the sequel.
That was all valid training, not free labor. No, really.
And Daniel getting beaten up isn't funny. It was poignant and touching, like watching Love Story. Now, if there'd been a Stooge involved, that'd be funny. Especially if it was Shemp. But that's neither here nor there, and adding a Stooge would also be heretical, so don't mention it again, you heathen.
Nah, he was just doing it wrong. You can tell because it was blocked.
Of course it wasn't free labor, Daniel was learning Karate in the process, but by the same token Daniel was not getting free Karate lessons.
Daniel was the stooge, according to some fans.

Would it be ok to reference Chico, Harpo, Groucho, Gummo or Zeppo in the Karate Kid?
And I have always wondered what that movie would be like if Mr Miyagi was played by Moe Howard and Daniel was Played by Curly Howard
All heresy. Hilarious heresy. Which makes you a hilarious heathen.Would it be ok to reference Chico, Harpo, Groucho, Gummo or Zeppo in the Karate Kid?

The Hilarious Heathens would be a good band name.
I'd go to hear them, based only on the name.

My cousin is a drummer. I’ll bring the name to him. Then again, he’s Born Again and likes to play with other Born Agains, so the name probably won’t appeal to him very much.
