Love this movie. As much as I do enjoy Macchio and Zabka, it's Pat Morita who makes the movie for me. His Miyagi is such an interesting and subtly hilarious character. One of his best lines is in Part 2. Daniel sees a sign with a martial artist karate chopping a log in half and says to Mr. Miyagi "Can you break a log like that?" Miyagi replies "Don't know, never been attacked by tree". Morita was irreplaceable! Derrick, I too would have loved to see a Miyagi origin story! Also, I once bought a bonsai tree. I had always thought the were cool and one day I saw a Van marked with "Bansai Trees" on its vinyl wrap. It was parked just off of a busy intersection - Ryan, you know the town. This was definitely out of place in my town; I had to check it out. An Asian man was selling all kinds of bansai trees out of the van. As I was looking at one of the smaller trees, he comes up to me and says with what was probably an exaggerated accent "Bansai is VE-RY lucky tree!" As I was handing this dude my $20, a car ran a red light and crashed into another car a mere 15 feet away from me! Lucky tree indeed!...it died a week later.
@@willford81 🤣😂🤣 Lucky tree! The fact that it died was probably because it game it’s life to save another. And yes, that was the guy I got mine from! I don’t remember him saying the tree was lucky, but man I can hear it! As for the movie, that Miyagi line sounds hilarious. We will have to do an episode on part 2.
