Why It Crackles

Show Details

The place where the Million Dollar Baby first learned how to kick ass.

-Hilary Swank earned a "pink belt" (a mix of white for beginner and red for just under black) for her mastery of the most flashy techniques. Clearly the girl can fight as we see later in films such as Million Dollar Baby.

-The music that Miyagi turns on when he is teaching Hillary Swank’s character Julie to dance is the same song that Johnny and Ali dance to at the country club in the original The Karate Kid (1984). See clips from the original Karate Kid right here on Crackle.

-Watch it for the great lines alone. Example:
Miyagi: The sun is warm, the grass is green.
Julie Pierce: What?
Miyagi: If today Julie-san get angry, just you repeat those words.

All hail the great Mr. Miyagi. What would we do without his nonsensical advice in our lives?
