Ok, the main referee (Pat Johnson). Sometimes he would be a "guest" Karate instructor (can't remember how many times it happened, but not more than a few) where my brothers and I took lessons. We were so scared of him. I remember begging my mom not to make me go the times he taught.

The main referee from the Finals....wasnt he the same guy in the montage? Either way, that is also amazing!

For the record, does anyone here know the random guy with the inexplicable Texas accent?

"miYAGI-do karate!"

and the classic...

"Daniel Larusso is gonna fight? FOLKS, THIS IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT!"

OK, i will try to leach on to POO and Archaea here...very weak, but at least it is something...an actual nexus to the movie.......I have been to locker room at Cal State Northridge where the "heated hands" scene is filmed. There are lots of YSA dances at CSUN and we went to one early to walk around and look for the film locations. Actually, anyone can walk in there. There is no CSUN floor mat, though. I guess that was just for the movie.

Yes, he is in the montage. He is the ref sporting the very cool stache. He was also martial arts choreographer.

Ya, the kids are really impressed when I tell them: "See the referee kids, when I was 7 I used to cry if that man looked at me."

Well, I made out with Elisabeth Shue once, does that count?

Ok, I can't back that up. But you can imagine what it would be like if I did.

I love you, Lisa.

She looked good in palmetto.

I liked her in The Saint, as well. I was totally willing to help her with her hypothermia.

but there was something magical about The Karate Kid. Something very innocent, very demure.......MUCHO CALOR! I defy a guy to tell me that he didnt have a Shuerection from that movie. The All Valley tournament outfit...with the really tall socks and loafers with skirt......ROW-FREAKING-RRRR!

She was way cute in Karate Kid. She was dare I say chunky or maybe thick is the right word. But you're right, skirt, knee highs with the towel over her shoulders...

I liked her in Leaving Las Vegas.

My buddy that played the little Channing played with Shue in Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead.
