JerseyTim: In two years, he'll be as old as Pat Morita was when they made the movie.

That just ruined my entire weekend. Well, off to by a rocking chair and chase kids off my damned lawn.

Like a knight in shining armor, from a long time ago...

Shostie: One thing I learned from the Karate Kid Part 2 is that Japanese people don't speak Japanese. They speak broken English.

Is that the one where they go to "Okinawa?" 'Cuz yeah, that was cringingly horrifying.

shaft6969: well, to be fair, besides the jewish chick on 90210, he's probably the oldest person to play a teenager in history...

Nope, that award goes to Hannah Montana's brother. He was 29 when that show began.

I think that honor belongs to Stockard Channing -- played teenage Betty Rizzo in Grease at age 34.

He's no longer a yout. Neither am I.

Gonz: Uchiha_Cycliste: But, no. That movie came out after I was born. Granted I was one, but it can't have been that long ago. f*ck.

I saw it in the theater.

I also saw the original Star Wars in the theater, during its initial run

Now, let's discuss my lawn, and your immediate evacuation from it.

The original Star Wars was the last movie my father took me to before he died.

I'm sorry for your loss, and hope I didn't hit a nerve.

Long time ago...in a galaxy far far away.

Parents die, it is a rule of life. He would have loved seeing the rest of the Trilogy, and did not live to see Jar Jar Binks. Lucky man, in that respect.

I re-watched Karate Kid Part II a few weeks ago, and that sure stuck out like a sore thumb. I still love KK2, I think it was a worthy sequel as it raised the stakes since KK1, gave us more of Mr. Miyagi's backstory, and I liked the leading lady more in the sequel. :) As far as I'm concerned, KK3 doesn't even exist.

I was surprised to see Clarence Gilyard (Matlock, Walker: Texas Ranger) and B.D. Wong (Law and Order: SVU) in KK2. They aren't huge blockbuster actors, but how serendipitous!

I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!

I don't feel bad that Ralph Macchio is 50. I feel bad that the last big movie he did was Artie Lange's Beer League.

and he can still kick, stretch and kick

Jennie Garth is unaffected by stardom and is still insanely good looking and has a beautiful family. She has managed to move ahead and not be ruined by success. Check her out, she did it right.

I'm 29, get compliments/passes and look like shiat compared to him.

He's getting closer to that bodybag. Yeaaaaaaaaah!

Rottweiler8: Harry_Seldon:

That girl helped awaken my pre-teen loins.

/Id beat like a tiny drum on a stick that you twist to beat

Yes, she was adorable as a young adult. I think I would have melted from her 100 megawatt smile, if I was sitting across the table from her.

Get 'em all a body bag!

I think it was Fark that first sent me to this: Link so apologies if it's been seen before.

It does confirm that Zabka is in fact the man.

30 is when my metabolism started trolling me.

ugh, dumb. if that sh*t about metabolism was at all true, all the elderly would be 300 lbs and no kids would be fat.

/the karate kid sucked (thought i'd keep thread-relevant for at least a second)

So let me get this straight, Ralph Macchio is only four years younger then my dad? How old was he when he played the Karate Kid? Wtf?

Umm that guy doesn't look 50.
