That doesn't really answer it though. Any chance the writer of KK transitioned into an in-house design position somewhere and, by definition, now spends the entirety of his day on QBN?
Seriously... They moved all the way across the country, leaving behind Kenny and Kevin just for a job at Rocket Computers - a company that even the locals (ie. Freddie Fernandez) had never heard of?!

I wonder if they actually recorded any of these scenes.

Good song for sure. 8am tomorrow I'm a senior. I have exactly one year to make it all work. That is exactly what I'm gonna do.

TR - but who had heard much about any computer company back in the mid 80s - (early 80s when the script was written)???
It would have seemed like the job of the future.

Daniel Larusso: I know you don't believe in fighting, but tournament karate isn't exactly fighting.
Mr. Kesuke Miyagi: Not exactly ping-pong, either.

Amicus - Yeah, still a tough issue to resolve. Also, does anyone know the story about Daniel's dad? I don't think they ever covered that in the series. Admittedly, I know less about part 2 and part 3 than I do about part 1.
Please be noted that I do not recognize "the next karate kid" in any way, shape, form or size. Similar to Smokey and the Bandit 3.

never seen the next karate kid... though, I will watch it one day. Just to see if it's as bad as I think it will be :)
It will be interesting to see the remake version, but I doubt it will have the same feel as the original.

That fast-rewind site has good content but is unreadable.

@seed
the song "The Ride" by The Matches is now on iTunes. apparently one of the guys from the band kept getting emails from fans of the movie asking for the mp3. i think it was like the last of two songs nobody's been able to get their hands on in the last 26 years.
- Loving that galloping drum beat. Think they swiped it from Iron Maiden's The Trooper! Ha!mg33

ralph macchio reacts to new film on twitter:
Agree on that. Calling it KK - clearly a show "business" decision. RT @JBagz: Dude, how can it be Karate Kid when they're doing Kung Fu!?
7:54 AM Jun 8th via UberTwitterRemake: Different vibe, story same, bigger, more violent. Well done, but the SOUL, the MAGIC - LEGACY of the Original KK remains untouched!
11:55 PM Jun 7th via UberTwitterOn way to remake premiere - Am there to proudly represent the legacy of the Original and the brand we created back in '84! Curious 2 c it 2
5:30 PM Jun 7th via UberTwitterOk, this did feel a little good, just a little. http://bit.ly/aHaI0i

@SteveJobs
Awesome, thanks for passing that on. I just bought "The Ride" on Amazon. This song makes me want to drink beer on a dirt bike and pick fights on the beach.
