re: Question about The Karate Kid

I feel like this needs to be bumped. Daniel deserved every single thing that happened to him in that movie, except for the trophy. John should have been the actual winner of the tournament. It was bullshite:

John Lawrence should actually be the champion. Speaking of the above point…did anyone at the tournament actually bother to check Daniel’s background? Clearly he isn’t really a black belt, so clearly he was not qualified to fight in the tournament, thus negating his wins and the trophy should then go to the runner up, which was John.

A punch to the face is illegal but a kick isn’t? What kind of bullshite rule is that? In the final fight, Daniel scores the first two points. Then Johnny scores the next two. Then, John gets a clean punch to the face of Daniel, but that's not a point. Keep in mind that a punch to the back of the head is a point, as evidenced by Daniel's Second point scored...so punches to the head ARE allowed. Also, immediately after John scores his second point, we see Daniel attempting to punch John in the face...here it is from multiple angles:





So either Daniel was intentionally trying to punch him to be a dick (if it is against the rules), or John was fricked by not getting a point for punching Daniel in the face. It can't be both.
