Great Moments In Movie History

No.2:(The Karate Kid) - Mr.Miyagi - Pimp of the Year

This was just too dope to be true. Daniel is sent to Mr Miyagi to learn Karate so he can stop the bullies in the neighbourhood beating him down like a punk, so he goes and winds up getting pimped to the maximum level permissible in a PG film. Mr.Miyagi shows big time game when he demonstrates the "paint fence" technique, then leaves Daniel to do the job while he chills out in the back. Even better is when he shows Daniel-San the correct way to wax down his fleet of pimpmobiles. In another era, Mr.Miyagi could have been in a sharp tailored suit, with a cane, hat, and gleaming Cadillac or Duesenberg with fat backing music provided by Curtis Mayfield or Johnny "Guitar" Watson. Still, he can rest assured that he's secured his place in the "Hall of Game."
