On September 1st, I posted a link to an article about the little-known facts of the Karate Kid trilogy. Look for it in the archive. It's funny. After getting home from a screening of Punch-Drunk Love (excellent movie), I turned on the television to find Part II on Telemundo. Yes, it was in Spanish, but the language of the Karate Kid is universal. Luckily, or unluckily, there was only the last 10 minutes left. But the ending is so laughable, I thought there was laughing gas being pumped into my room. Fighting over a girl, Daniel and the tough Asian guy square off on a bridge. After sparring for a bit, the taiko drums begin banging and those little drums with pegs attached to a string are being twirled around as fast as possible as if giving strength to Daniel. Just like in the WWF when Hulk Hogan got stronger after every punch or the Ultimate Warrior got strength by pretending to be electrocuted from shaking the ropes. Soon enough, they start trading blows. As hard as they can, they hit each other 12 consecutive times. (12!) And it doesn't even hurt until the final one when the Asian guy goes down. Daniel goes in for the kill, then pitches his nose. Ah, that Karate Kid. Hilarious weak guy that he is.
