That movie is awesome!! Everyone saw that flick!!


Here's some fun Facts about that movie.


The referee in the final match is Pat Johnson, a karate expert and former student of Chuck Norris. He instructed many movie stars in karate, including 'McQueen, Steve' , with whom he became close friends.


Mr. Miyagi is named for Chogun Miyagi, who became the forerunner of karate-jutsu in Okinawa, Japan. 'Sensei Miyagi' as he was called, created his own style of karate-jutsu, which he dubbed 'Goju Ryu', which means 'hard and soft style'.


Martin Kove replaced Chuck Norris, who turned down the role of John Kreese because he didn't want karate trainers to be shown in an unsympathetic light
