Surely a guaranteed entry in anyone’s list of favourite underdog movies; the story of a smart-mouth New Jersey kid who struggles to fit in after moving to California, only to find an unlikely Sensei who teaches him the ways of Karate on his way to beating the bullies, getting the girl and inspiring a generation to “wax on, wax off” while singing “you’re the best, around!”.
Directed by John G. Avildsen and starring Ralph Macchio, Pat Morita and Elisabeth Shue among others.
#TriviaTuesday: A cost-cutting insect-like suit was the early design for the alien hunter in 1987's 'Predator'—unsuccessfully worn by the character's first actor Jean-Claude Van Damme—but it was ditched for a now iconic Stan Winston design at twice the price. Money well spent. pic.twitter.com/pvbTmpgUIB
#TriviaTuesday: ‘Big Kahuna Burger’ is most certainly the fictional fast food of choice in the Tarantinoverse, appearing or referenced in 'Reservoir Dogs', 'From Dusk Till Dawn', 'Death Proof', 'Four Rooms', as well as its starring turn in 1994’s 'Pulp Fiction' of course. pic.twitter.com/k3xVsbDuA6
