As crazy as your post sounds, it wouldnt surprise me if there was some lame CGI or special effects.
What concerns me most, besides the obvious Billy Zabka debacle, is the impending soundtrack.
Have they decided whether to re-use classics like "Cruel Summer" from Bananarama?
"You're the best," and the All-Valley Karate tournament montage was unquestionably the hallmark of that movie. You could argue that actually was the 3 or 4 minutes of film that tied all 80s cinema together into one great whole. What are they going to do for the remake?
highlights of this montage are
1. Daniel fighting Lamar Latrell at :52
2. Fat, out of shape dude at 1:24
3. And Larusso fighting Dutch at 2:28. Dutch, btw is the baddest mo-fo of all the Cobra Kai and has the most wicked kick at 2:46. That dude is so limber! How does he move his head like that? Also, for some reason, Dutch scores one point, then Daniel scores one point, but Daniel wins.
The fighter who breaks his leg is named Ron Thomas, he swam on the same swim team as I. I could tell you a few stories about his mother. I remember him being interviewed about his possible increased role in the sequel. We laughed when it didn't pan out.
"Sweep the leg"
"But sensei, I'll be disqualified!"

That was an awesome flick. I've always thought it would be cool to be in an overnight scavenger hunt like that.

No doubt. I can't believe he's been sitting on that info for all these years. He just skyrocketed up the cool ladder in my book.

Tell me about it. That sandbaggin' sob. That's like the coolest thing ever. I can't come close to that except that one of my companions was the little blonde toddler in the old glow worm commercial and that a buddy of mine played a Channing on Falcon's Crest.

What about if you knew (or at least met before the movie) one of the minor characters?

There are no "minor characters" in The Karate Kid. Each actor/actress played a critical role, from Daniel Larusso to the gay friend that invites Daniel to the "adios summer" beach party to the waiter in the background who laughs at Daniel-son when he falls to the ground covered in spaghetti. They are all symbians in the great circle.

Are you holding out too? Holy shiznit!
I think some of you can attest to my Karate Kid-ness when you saw my MySpace profile dedicated to all things Miyagi-do and Cobra Kai.
