Had them on VHS and those movies were VERY useful in getting some peace and quiet. And the movies were pretty good! Peace to you, Mr. Miyagi. fendray26 11-25-2005, 09:33 PM wax off indeed. QKMPULSE 11-26-2005, 12:34 AM Hey, Man, that's way too young! I loved him in "Happy Days!". w/o his character (name forgotten was it "Arnold" or was that the fat guy?) the "Fonz", "Richie", "Ralph", "Potsie" etc would not have gotten their burgers served with a dose of humor at the drive-in. Miyagi: "Man who can catch fly with chopsticks can do anything!" I'm still trying. LOL RIP Thx, Phil Purple1362 11-26-2005, 07:36 AM It was "Arnold". The 'fat guy' was "Al". I was shocked to hear about it myself. Yes, 73 seems 'young', but ya know ... he had a long life ... at times tough during WWII ... at times great on the "Happy Days" show and then the "Karate Kid" movies. I'll miss seeing him. Rest in peace, "Arnold"/"Mr Miyagi"! Hey, Man, that's way too young! I loved him in "Happy Days!". w/o his character (name forgotten was it "Arnold" or was that the fat guy?) the "Fonz", "Richie", "Ralph", "Potsie" etc would not have gotten their burgers served with a dose of humor at the drive-in. Miyagi: "Man who can catch fly with chopsticks can do anything!" I'm still trying. LOL RIP Thx, Phil aquilles10 11-26-2005, 11:01 AM I loved him in "Honeymoon in Vegas". He'll be missed.... Nat 11-26-2005, 05:30 PM Thanks for the laughs, RIP rodaniel 11-26-2005, 11:17 PM Pat Morita was also something of a regular on M*A*S*H at the Friday night poker games in the Swamp. That was back in the Henry Blake days. Ah, fond memories... loved that show. PVR 11-27-2005, 12:24 AM Pat Morita was also something of a regular on M*A*S*H at the Friday night poker games in the Swamp. ... :) Remember the episode when he arrived early for " a conference" and took a nap? He asked Radar to have a nurse wake him " a little at a time". L-M-N-T 11-27-2005, 10:52 AM Well, I bet if they had made Karate Kid 'post 2003', Mr. Miagi would 've had an Element in that stable of awesome vehicles he had in the film... but he wouldn't have let Danielsan wax it without taping off the panels. :) Genom 11-27-2005, 12:21 PM ... but he wouldn't have let Danielsan wax it without taping off the panels. :) Indeed, but had he gotten wax on the panels, we may have such memorable quotes like "Jif on...Jif off".:shock: bobhch/hchbob 11-27-2005, 01:34 PM Pat Morita made soooooo many people laugh and sooooo many times. He cracked me up when the Fonze jumped the barrels and crashed into the chicken stand. "Nobody is eating chicken now.....aaaaaaaaaaah!" Rest in Peace, Bob mixteca 11-28-2005, 11:20 AM Wax on wax off....:) L-M-N-T 12-04-2005, 10:57 AM Indeed, but had he gotten wax on the panels, we may have such memorable quotes like "Jif on...Jif off". Hilarious!!!!! :lol: (In 'Arnold' fashion) Bwahahaha!!!Frrrrrrrrrrrrt! Empire 12-04-2005, 12:29 PM You know, he also played as "Ah Chew" on Sanford and Son. A lot of people forgot about that. E_Ride 12-04-2005, 08:40 PM Didnt he died two weeks ago? yeah he was agood man. god bless his soul! The Rube 12-05-2005, 08:43 AM "Karate Kid" - one of the most quoted movies at work. There isn't a person at work who doesn't know a couple of hundred lines from the movie. Who can forget? "Daniel-Son, You lacka fo-cus" or "Ifa don right - no defense" Great stuff.... DGI 12-05-2005, 11:35 PM I don't know if many people know but the Shriners with their 22 children's hospitals do a tremendous amount of good and at no cost to the patients. Here's one success story. Pat Morita was diagnosed with spinal tuberculosis at age two. His parents were told he would never walk, but they refused to give up hope. Morita entered a tuberculosis sanitarium, where he remained until age nine. Then, his life changed for the better, when he was sent to the San Francisco Shriners Hospital for surgery. "I'd like to think I was one of their test cases. Back then, the only treatment for tuberculosis was sunshine, exercise, and rest." With the Shriners Hospital's help, Morita overcame his disease and was able to pursue his dream of becoming an actor and comedian. Gear Jammer 12-06-2005, 08:41 AM He also did a bit of stand-up comedy according to his obituary. He called himself "The Hip Nip". He will be missed. G.J. Genom 12-06-2005, 09:03 AM The Shriners Hospital? Cool...do they have tiny ambulances there?:grin: DGI 12-06-2005, 10:20 AM The Shriners Hospital? Cool...do they have tiny ambulances there?:grin: I dunno. They only let me carry a flag in parades. I'm working my way up to a teeeeny Element. (They just don't know it yet...) | ||
