Angry the Clown Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Best known to many of course as Mr Miyagi from the Karate Kid series and Arnold from Happy Days. He died of natural causes aged 73. RIP, Sir! http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051125/ap_en_mo/obit_morita;_ylt=Ahk79cxfVbJE.wnWGBDPivdxFb8C;_ylu=X3oDMTA5aHJvMDdwBHNlYwN5bmNhdA-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awesome-O 4000 Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Beat me to it. Fair play to him, massively important character in shaping me as a person was Mr Miyagi. The Karate Kid was one of my most watched films back in the day. Thank you sir and godspeed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Man, what's the world coming to when Mr. Miyagi passes on? Another Karate Kid fan here, and it's very sad to see him gone. R.I.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whooter Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 I always thought "Mr. T and Tina" was underrated. Godspeed, Mr. Miyagi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Just a few weeks ago a few of us were watching Karate Kid 2 together and now Mr Miyagi has passed on. R.I.P Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlucci Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Two things Mr. Miyagi taught me: 1. "Must learn walk, then learn fly. Nature rule, Daniel-san, no Miyagi rule." 2. Daniel: "You never got beat up." Miyagi: "Got beat up plenty." Daniel: "But you knew Karate!" Miyagi: "Someone always know more." Besides the wisdom I got from my own dad, these two quotes have given me great guidance. May God rest his soul. Carlos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretvampire Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Yep, this made me really sad. I enjoyed his work in his other non-Karate Kid roles too, and he seemed like a quality individual as well. God bless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awesome-O 4000 Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 I was listening to Bill Conti's Karate Kid Score literally the day before he died and mentioned to a friend that I must finally get round to picking up the dvds and put my videos out to pasture. Those moments of (almost) prescience always creep me out a bit. George Best dying too, quite sad. I would imagine a lot of the members here wouldn't know him. but he needed a mention at the very least. He'd be the equivilent of a Ted Williams/Joe DiMaggio in stature over in the UK. And they normally come in threes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry the Clown Posted November 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 And they normally come in threes... Well William Hootkins, best known as Porkins from Star Wars died about a month ago. Very sad as he was a great character actor and had much priase for playing Alfred Hitchcock in 'Hitchcock Blonde' in the west end last year.
