  While going through some obit. articles on Pat Morita, I read about how he got the Karate Kid gig as kind of a fluke.

  Apparantly, the director wanted Toshiro Mifune (huge Japanese star of
  samurai flicks, a "Japan's John Wayne") but Mifune wanted too much $. Pat Morita apparantly had to audition multiple times to get the gig.

  If Mifune played Mr. Miyagi, wouldn't that have been a little weird?

  Sensei in the Karate Kid.
  Even looking past the film's flaws, a terrific performance and an excellent lesson in the Martial Arts.
