What do you do when Elizabeth Shue’s Aryan boyfriend convinces his whole dojo to kick your ass? Just ask the Asian guy who cleans your pool for help! Little Ralph Macchio was one lucky bastard, because his apartment complex’s handyman Mr. Miyagi just happened to be a descendant of real life martial arts master Chojun Miyagi, founder of the Goju-ryu karate style. In reality, “the crane” technique is a completely bullshit move that was made up on the set by So-Cal black belt/Miyagi stunt double Darryl Vidal. Banzai!
