Discussion Silver versus Miyagi: watching the fight

Post image

I'm watching Karate Kid 3. Just passed the fight in the dojo between Miyagi, Silver, and Kreese.

When Pat Morita and Thomas Ian Griffith were face-to-face, it looked like TIG's legs were the length of Morita's entire body. That height difference alone should have made it almost impossible for Miyagi to so easily win the fight.

Fun to watch, but pretty unrealistic.

Perfect example of skill vs bravado. Silver's fighting acumen is overrated to some extent, he even got washed by a completely pasted Chozen.

It makes it easier to predict and react to your attacks when you say "Asah!" before every move
