When you're using the basic formula for story telling, ie, (a likable down on his luck guy who has to overcome an obsticle and then succeeds and gets the girl), you have to make sure and include the whole likable part.
People need protaganists that remind them of themselves. I was never a bratty complaining douche who tried to act like a tough guy against people I should probably try to befriend or at the very least be nice to

There was that time he climbed some power lines in the middle of a typhoon to save some little girl with only his belt.

Three full pages and no Terry Silver references.

I get pissed at Johnny for grabbing the tournament trophy and handing it to Daniel. He just got screwed over in his match to a gimpy & weak rival opponent...who is also probably going to bang his old girlfriend..and he tosses all his self respect away and hands Daniel the fricking trophy!?! Huge meltdown in character

Who knew being a sensei could be so sinister
And what was up with the fat guy in kobra kai that got roundhouse kicked in the gut? Was he even trying?

Or steal a can of tuna and get put on trial for murder in Alabama.
I think it's a testament to Daniel's character that no matter where he went, people wanted to kick his arse. Home, Okinawa, and back home again.

So how long did it take Daniel to become a Chargers fan being from New Jersey? Obviously at least by Halloween.

If people would stop befriending fatties, the problem might go away.

Yeah, I remember reading that years ago and being shocked as hell.
It's cool shite though.

It never made any sense that Mrs. Larusso drags her son across the country for a hostess job at a Chinese Restaurant - manager training program (two nights a week!) Don't they have restaurants in Jersey?
The missing scene from the script:
LUCILLE: "I got a job!"
DANIEL: "Yeah, I know. Rocket Computers. Flight to the Future!"
LUCILLE "'Crashed in the Present' is more like it. The company went bankrupt last Friday. Can you believe it? Isn't that my luck?"
DANIEL: "So, we're going home?"
LUCILLE: "Honey, we are home. This is it."
LUCILLE walks into her bedroom, then comes back out again.
LUCILLE: "Seen my black shoes?"
DANIEL reaches under the couch, finds them, and hands them to her.
DANIEL: "So, what's this job?"
LUCILLE: "It's just fantastic, honey. Listen to this story. I walked out of the former Rocket Computer offices, feeling pretty low - as you can imagine - and a woman comes flying out of this restaurant, The Orient Express - isn't that cute? - yelling about how she's going to quit. Right behind her, a guy is yelling, 'You can't quit. You're fired!' It's one minute to noon, people are coming in for lunch, and I'm the Number One applicant. I got the job. What a story, huh?"
DANIEL finds it hard to hide his disappointment.
DANIEL: "So after going to school - all those night classes about computers - you're going to be a waitress?"
LUCILLE: "Hostess, if you please."
DANIEL: "Big difference."
quote:
When Daniel meets Freddy, he says that the reason he moved out to California was because his mom got a new job; "Rocket Computers, Flight of the future.. I don't know". Later on in the Orient Express restaurant she talks of being trained as a manager (of the restaurant).. Whatever happened to "Rocket Computers"?

Goddammit, I can picture Daniel saying those words and shrugging his shoulders with that douchey look on his face. In that scene, he's not even happy for his mom that she found a job and was excited about it. What a dick.

Terry Silver in maniacal/slightly homoerotic voice: "I love it when he pounds him!"
One of the worst things about DL was the he never learned from his mistakes. He starts shite with the skeleton Kobra Kais and then he fricks with Chozen in KK2 by breaking his weight and embarrassing him in front of the entire village.
quote:
All right, all right, I've heard enough. I've made up my mind. This slope, what's his name - Miyagi - and that punk kid - I'm gonna get them for what they did to you. They made you suffer, so I'm gonna make them suffer... and suffer and suffer and when I think they've suffered enough, then I start with the pain.
