Famous trivia from Hollywood movie : The Karate Kid (1984) - Part (3)

This quiz will test your movies knowledge by asking you questions related to the various famous movie trivia from the Hollywood movie: The Karate Kid (1984).

About the movie: A handyman/martial arts master agrees to teach a bullied boy karate and shows him that there is more to the martial art than fighting.

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Karate Kid (1984)?
a.		Hal Holbrooks first film.
b.		According to black belt karate instructor William (Bill) J. DeClemente in "Black Belt" magazine dated May 1994, DeClemente believed he was the inspiration for The Karate Kid character. He was 17 years old when he started training in karate in 1963 in Queens, New York, the same neighborhood where screenwriter Robert Mark Kamen started training in karate in 1965. Kamen came to watch DeClemente teach in 1965 before enrolling at a karate school in Queens taught by Ed McGrath. Kamen has acknowledged in a sworn deposition that the tough ex-marine he depicted as John Kreese in the film was patterned after Ed McGrath, who was also a friend of DeClemente. DeClemente also said Kamen probably based Mr. Miyagi after Okinawan karate legend Chojun Miyagi. However, Kamen refused to acknowledge DeClemente as the basis of the karate kid character, in which DeClemente is the owner of the registered nationally trademark name "The Karate Kid" since the mid-1960s and was known locally in Queens, Brooklyn, and Florida and to his business associates. This led to DeClemente suing Columbia Pictures Industries, Jerry Weintraub Productions, and Jerry Weintraub on July 29, 1994 for trademark infringement, violation of his right of publicity claims, and seeking damages for three Karate Kid films. Case: DeClemente v. Columbia Pictures, 860 F. Supp. 30 (E.D.N.Y. 1994). DeClements case was dismissed, ruling in favor of the defendants. The court viewed the films did not damage the plaintiff, DeClemente, in a legal sense and that his public personality as the Karate Kid was not notorious enough that the public identified him exclusively with this persona as well as no evidence adduced that the defendants knew the plaintiff, until the year 1990. On his official website, DeClemente still maintains the claim that he is the inspiration for screenwriter Robert Mark Kamen of the films that bears his registered nationally trademarked name, "The Karate Kid".
c.		Bob Balaban was attached to direct at one point.
d.		This film was notorious in its time for its gratuitous violence, so much so that public outcry prompted CBS to cancel plans to air it in early 1968. In a grim coincidence, star Nick Adams died a few days later.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Karate Kid (1984)?
a.		Some of the music was provided by the group The Electric Flag.
b.		Former screenwriter Dennis Palumbo has said that he was offered the screen writing job for the film but reacted to the offer by saying hed be "willing to do it if he (the title character, Daniel Larusso) lost the fight in the end." Palumbo explained his reasoning: "You cant have Mr. Miyagi tell him, It doesnt matter if you win or lose, for 90 minutes and then have to have him win." Palumbo went on to say, "But thats because I was being a moron... Now, they made four sequels to that movie, so obviously I was wrong." (Palumbos remarks appear in Tales from the Script.)
c.		Robert Picardo controlled Greta, the "female" gremlin when it was attached to him instead of the puppeteers because the puppet had so much contact and movements with his character. This technique is also used in the scene where Daniel Clamp (John Glover) pushes the gremlin in the paper shredder.
d.		Contrary to popular legend, Bela Lugosi cannot be seen fighting the rubber octopus in the sump (filmed in Griffith Park). Close examination of the scene reveals a stunt double doing battle. In fact, all the shots of Vornoff carrying Janet through the brush and moving down the hill, reveal a stunt double for Lugosi. Even the real close-ups of Lugosi during these sequences appear to have been shot on a stage with black backing.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Karate Kid (1984)?
a.		According to Dan Curtis there were no sets built for the film at all, it was filmed entirely on location.
b.		The football jersey that Daniel is wearing while talking to Mr. Miyagi on the bed is a #89 San Diego Chargers jersey, which in 1984 would have been wide receiver Wes Chandler.
c.		When actor Joel David Moore vomits on screen, it is real. Director Adam Green did not want the actors spitting out fake vomit like most films do. Though Joel managed to throw-up on his own for the first take, he was supplied with a mixture of cold clam chowder and orange juice for the second take.
d.		Christy Carlson Romano was originally supposed to play the role of Violet.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Karate Kid (1984)?
a.		Daniel Radcliffe suffered two ear infections following the underwater filming.
b.		The "Crane Technique" while basically fictional, is based on a stance called the crane stance that is used in several traditional Karate kata.
c.		An urban folklore exists that suggests that there was an alternate ending that alters the identity of the killer. An alternate ending does not exist, but the original ending was indeed re-filmed, when the initial release audience complained that the face of the killer was not clearly shown. In the original release, the unmasked killers face was shown for eighteen frames (leas than a second). Another nine seconds was later spliced into the corrected version, clearly resolving the mystery and showing the killer.
d.		Working title was "Murder at Harvard."

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Karate Kid (1984)?
a.		The Western opening was an idea originally thought up for Toy Story but was cut.
b.		Mr. Miyagis medal is the Medal of Honor, the highest military decoration awarded by the United States. It is easily recognizable by its blue ribbon and the inscription containing the word "valor." In real life, the 442nd Regimental Combat Team had 21 Medal of Honor awardees, including Senator Daniel Inouye of Hawaii. Its members also received 52 Distinguished Service Crosses, 560 Silver Stars, 4000 Bronze Stars, and 9486 Purple Hearts.
c.		A print of this film survives in the Library of Congress.
d.		The film was originally scheduled for a Summer 1992 release, as the teaser posters said, but when Michael Manns first version clocked in at three hours, he was told by Fox to cut the film down and the release was postponed to September. Mann was never happy with the resulting two hour version, feeling he had not had enough time to properly trim it, and so Fox allowed him to re-edit it entirely for the 1999 DVD release. Although only a few minutes longer, the new version features minor changes throughout the film. It is Manns preferred version and the only one available on DVD in the US.

6.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Karate Kid (1984)?
a.		During the "If It Bleeds, We Can Kill It" documentary, there is a quick shot of Jean-Claude Van Damme playing the original Predator creature.
b.		The role of Farrell was originally offered to Robert Mitchum, who turned it down because he didnt like the script. It was then offered to Ronald Reagan, who took it.
c.		Charlie Sheen turned down the role of Daniel LaRusso.
d.		The title of the screenplay and original working title for the film was simply "Darkness". It was not changed to "The Darkness Within" until midway through production.

7.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Karate Kid (1984)?
a.		Louis Leterrier viewed some of the concept art for the film, and was impressed enough to offer his services, but Marvel Studios turned him down. However, his film The Incredible Hulk features a small appearance by Captain America: a deleted scene set in the Arctic features his body hidden in a slab of ice.
b.		While on set filming, Paul Bettany taught Carly Schroeder how to play guitar.
c.		No one could figure out a simple, yet funny way to get Aubrey out of the house when he was being held captive by the angry dog. Buster Keaton, employed by MGM as a roving gag man, was called to the set, looked at the set up, and came up with the idea of removing the door hinges and letting the dog in as Aubrey got out. The most famous gag in the movie took Keaton all of five minutes to devise.
d.		During the scene where Mr. Miyagi is drunk and celebrating an "anniversary," he reveals that he served in the 442nd Regimental Combat Team of the United States Army, an Asian American unit composed of mostly Japanese Americans (many of whom had been in internment camps) who fought in Europe during the Second World War and soon became the most highly decorated unit in the history of the American military.
