I liked how crazy this one got with so many different people trying to get the shrine. Team Miyagi, Uncle Jack, the smuggler, and the local robber. | |||
Uncle Jack is a weird one. A guy who works at the CIA and has claimed to the family (or at least Daniel) to be a James Bond-like secret agent... which seems like the last thing a James Bond-like secret agent would be able to do. Anyway, turns out he's really a file clerk? But even as a file clerk he heard enough of the CIA's X-Files like shit and decided to take action on getting this shrine as his ticket to a promotion. Dude, I'm not sure there's an advancement path that goes from file clerk to secret agent super spy. | |||
This show in general is very goofy and exaggerated, but it does have moments that seem like they could've fit in a more straightforward Karate Kid story. In this episode for instance, Daniel tearing up from cutting so many onions is an excuse for Miyagi to blindfold him as a lesson in relying on his other senses.}} | |||
