Clip from Beyond the Form, a video narrated by the late Pat. E. Johnson about the way he came about developing the styles of karate used in The Karate Kid, that shows a scene not in the film
It’s me, your (least) favourite Australian and today I’m gonna be telling you which CK/KK characters I think would/wouldn’t enjoy Vegemite because I just got back to Australia.
here we go
Daniel LaRusso - Despises it with a burning passion
Johnny Lawrence - it’s made of the same shit as beer I don’t see how he could dislike it
Mike Barnes - has no clue wtf that shit is
Amanda LaRusso - doesn’t like it, but still sneaks it into the house to piss off Daniel because it’s funny
Terry Silver - he’s too “upper class” for that
John Kreese - that shits as salty as he is, he would like it when he was younger, hates it now
Carmen Diaz - eats it out of the JAR.
Dutch - won’t admit it but he despises it
Bobby Brown - he thinks it’s okay, not really his thing though
Tommy - He likes it, not as much as anyone else but he enjoys it!
Jimmy - hasn’t heard of it, we’ll he has he just forgot he had
Miguel Diaz - “yeah it’s okay” secretly steals it out of the jar
Robby Keene - never had it, never wants it
Sam LaRusso - never tried it because Daniel banned it from the house
Anthony LaRusso - tried it once when Amanda snuck it in, almost threw up
that’s all for today because I am racking my brain for the others
Okay I literally love this video so imma point out my favorite parts (and two I don’t like)
“I’ll work a bunch of 17 year olds right now” okay but was it rlly necessary to kick Dutch in the balls TWICE😭
“Roiled up Zach Morris look alike” ZACH MORRIS?? IM SOBBING.
“Sprays him while he’s doing the ol’ get high pinch a loaf” STOP THE POOR JOINT
“Daniel shows off some dope ass knee juggling which in the 1980s was code for hey my mom is out of town on Saturday you wanna do sex?” The fact both Daniel and Johnny didn’t get Ali though
“Mr. Miyagi teaches him the good shit by making him paint a fence, wash his car, and pretend he’s in the opening credits to a cinematic flick called the boy down the street.” This could NOT be more accurate
“The cobra Kai shitbags” No. Just no. Theyre my princesses. Jimmy did no wrong. Dutch maybe Johnny maybe but they’re pretty so we let it slide.
“Johnny and his friends don’t like that *talking abt Daniel talking to Ali*” incorrect they pushed him down a hill bc he went to cobra kai. Also Ali deserved better prove me wrong (you can’t).
“Hey man sorry for all the attempted murders it’s hard to move across country you deserve happiness” this is so real but also Daniel deserved to get his ass kicked in the Halloween scene😚
There's this article from 1984 about the rise of villainous blondes in movies that I'm reading — and while it's interesting, all I really care about are the sections on The Karate Kid and interviewing William Zabka on the subject lol
First, great way to describe William Zabka's/Johnny's platinum bangs.
Reminder: this article released in 1984. So it's little squeaky-voiced Zabka saying this about himself.
Just LOVED the way this is phrased about the Cobras LOL (nooo don't forget about Token Brunet Jimmy 😭)
What I found MOST intriguing though is that Zabka apparently shares This about him and his costars:
LISTEN...I KNOW IT WAS FORTY YEARS AGO...BUT I NEED TO KNOW WHAT ZABKA, THOMAS, MCQUEEN, GARRISON, AND O'DELL WERE SAYING ABOUT THEIR CHARACTERS AND THEIR PARENTS SO BAD...I NEED THEIR THOUGHTS ABOUT THE COBRAS
