No, karate in real life is nothing like it's portrayed in KK Malcolm.. I was actually rather upset that the initial portrayal of Karate was somewhat brutish, aggressive and attacking. It is nothing of the sort as Mr. Myagi quite rightly pointed out and that did come out later...

There was some good moments in the fight scenes I thoroughly enjoyed..

I loved the bit where Mr. Myagi goes for flies with his chopsticks and states that he who can catch a fly with chopsticks can accomplish anything...

The whole atmosphere of the film reminded me of Debbie Does Dallas but without the nudity and shagging...

Does it have a funky guitar soundtrack with wah-wah pedal?

No, but it has some nice tasty Yank cars in it... Plus a lovely error where a big old Yank Tank is being bump started and later it is shown to be an automatic...

You could do that on many two speed autos, though - they had twin fluid pressure pumps in the transmission, one was driven off the output shaft. It built up enough pressure at 20MPH to allow the gearbox to spin the motor over.

From memory it's in the early owner's handbooks for stuff like the '61 Falcon.

Never knew that Adam You learn something new every day... The car was being pushed quite fast...

[Stickyfinger]

There are "other" ways to start an Auto without a battery you know

I do not think I could get down there with the C5 however ....great trick however if your stater motor is knackered.

[CitroJim]

Mind you, doing that on a V6 Xantia is likely to knacker the crank pulley!

[Stickyfinger]

no matter, it will already be knackered mate

You down over the weekend ?
