From Bill Simmon's article today - really got me thinking:

Q: If the typhoon doesn't hit Tome Village in "Karate Kid II" and Sato and Miyagi had their scheduled death match, who would have won? I'm thinking Sato fueled by 40 years of rage destroys Miyagi in less than five minutes. Your thoughts?
-- Vivek, Chicago


SG: Yeah, that had potential to end faster than the Tyson-Spinks fight -- I would have made Sato a -250 favorite over Miyagi. You know what bugs me about that movie? For his entire life, Sato's nephew has to hear his uncle complaining about Mr. Miyagi -- the guy's a scumbag, he has no honor, he stole my girlfriend, don't ever end up like him -- and vowing to fight him to the death if Miyagi ever returns to the village. So Miyagi returns, the death match is all set up, then the typhoon happens and Sato has a change of heart because Miyagi and Daniel-san helped save a little kid, but the nephew still holds a grudge because he's been taught to hate Mr. Miyagi and everything he stands for ... so what happens? Because the nephew won't bury the hatchet, he immediately becomes an outcast in the village??? How is that fair? HE SPENT HIS WHOLE LIFE BEING TAUGHT TO HATE MR. MIYAGI!!!! Was the kid supposed to have an on/off switch? Sato's nephew got a raw deal in that movie.

Good stuff. 1200 word essay due at the end of the weekend
