She was a somewhat normal parent in Part I who was involved in her kids life...and then suddenly, post-Miyagi entering the scene...she completely disappears and doesn't exist. Not only does Miyagi push Mom out of the picture but he pushes Ali out too.

She got a job in Fresno, and instead of Daniel moving there for the summer, she said it was okay for him to live at Miyagi's house (in the room he was building with the whole "one stroke hammer/nail scene"). And he didn't push Ali out; she left him for some football player. And she wrecked his car. And she told him about the football player on prom night.

So add that shite to the "Ali is a massive count" list from page one.

So in the scene where Daniel kicks the gate at the beginning and knocks down Freddy, Mr Fernandez invites him to a party. By the way, those guys ended up being douches. Anyway, when he is inviting him to the party he adds some statement at the end of the invitation and I could never make out what he was saying? Any help here? It has bothered me since I was 10.

Here's apartment .

- Is it?

- Should I leave this here?

Listen to it in the movie. He says something else after that and it isn't in the script. It always bugged me.

Hmm? That script was supposedly transcribed from the movie version.

He names the beach party - in his heavy Spanish accent.

We're having a beach party.

Adios Summer.

You want to come?

That's just a great scene altogether.

I love the "Iss rike GEISHA.." line and the little move he does.

Why would he have just gotten his license?

This woman can't stay employed at one place.

Again, total changing of character for no reason but to fit the script. She was this overbearing/overprotecting parent until Miyagi enters the picture...then she basically relinquishes custody to the maintenance man.

The All-Valley tournament was in December 19...Daniel just gets his license before the tournament on his 16th birthday. So his birthday is in December.

After the school year ends, he lives with Miyagi and then travels to Okinawa...so he's still a minor at 16 that summer.

Yet at the beginning of 2 he talks about college and how he'll just get a job when they get back from Okinawa and go to college 6 months later.

Freddy and his friends have never made much sense.

I assume Freddy goes to the same high school...he lives in the same apartment complex and knows Ali at the beach. If so, he knows that Johnny is the BMOC.

He also shows up at the tournament so he knows that Johnny is the reigning Karate Champion.

Then why the hell is it such an embarrassment that Daniel gets beat up by Johnny? They dismiss him like he just got whipped by Urkel - when they didn't do anything.

And it's not like Daniel proclaimed he was awesome...he merely insinuated he knew some Karate when Freddy was pestering him.

You would think Freddy would say..."don't worry about dude, Johnny is the shite."

yea he pronounces it "tornament"

I think it's a Jersey/NYC/Long Island thing


Now we're talking childhood memories. I always hated this pronounciation as well. I remember that we used to have the LSU/Purdue 1986 NCAA basketball game recorded. There was some news footage after the game, and Rollie Massemino from Villinova pronounced tournament the same way.

I guess Ralph Maccio and Rollie are from the same Jersey Guido neck of the woods.

Miagi is a maintainence man. He has a hell of a nice house and amazing garden. Sure its built on underage slave labor but hows he getting $$$ for all that lumber? Not to mention the cars.
