So... what are you trying to say? That there is a conspiracer (sp?) behind the making of the Karate Kid? *ghostly*... :lol: [j/k]

HAHAHAHAHA, no, just that the creators had little imagination.

i rekon its because it was the same tournament.

now its just me, but im guessing when you 2 tournaments there are going to be a lot of repeat entrants, thus making it look very similar.

plus, it would be cheaper to use stock footage. :P

Now you use head for something other than target.

Watch the last fight, after he does the final technique in each movie, and watch the guy sprawl in pain on the mat. It looks exactly the same. :D

I do believe I noticed that the last time I watched the movies...

without doing any research on the subject, here's my opinion...

I always felt that the writers attempted to base the movie around the goju system. I do know that in one of the movies (maybe the second one?) they are running seiyunchin kata. Also, the name "mr. miyagi". i don't know, maybe just a coincidence.

I think the story line was based more around Goju, but the actual movements may not have been.

the miyagi family kata was a goju kata aswell (from no 3)

i think this thread has turned a full circle now.

I think so.... let's start again...

I've been wondering what style was used in the Karate Kid series. I think they do Goju-Ryu style karate because from research i learned that Goju-Ryu is not Japanese but Okinowan, and the creator of the art was Miyagi Chojun. In the movie Mr. Miyagi also has the same name and also is from Okinowan origin. So my guess is Goju-ryu, what does everyone else think?

MWAHAHAHA
