353.0. "Karate Kid" by 29067::K_BOUCHARD () Thu Oct 14 1993 20:53

    Anybody hear anything about the new Karate Kid movie? Wonder if Pat
    Morita will be in it. Heard a girl will be playing the lead part this
    time.

A friend who lives in Brookline (MA, borders Boston) said she saw 
them filming it this summer at Brookline High.  

That's as much as I know!

    My aunt's nephew (Tommy O'Brien) has a bit part in this movie. He had
    one line which was cut. When they were doing the filming, he adlibbed
    something and they liked it so kept it in. I'll go see this mainly to
    see Tommy. I remember him from when he was a little toddler playing
    on the beach up through when he dated my youngest sister, so it'll be
    kinda neat to see someone up on the big screen that I've known all
    their life. As an aside, his father is also an actor. He's been in
    SHEAR MADNESS in Boston a number of times and had a few bit parts
    in Spenser for Hire when it was filmed in Boston. He also tried out
    for the Karate Kid movie, but didn't get a part. What a way to be
    one-upped by your kid.

    Karate Kid IV will be out this spring.
    
    My friend, Thomas Downey, is also in this movie.  He's one of the bad
    guys.  It was filmed in different parts of the Boston area.

353.5KK is just so-so29067::K_BOUCHARDThu Oct 28 1993 20:567
    Well,I *will* say one thing for the "Karate Kid" movies: There isn't
    any sex or bad language in them (please spare me all the stuff like
    "that's my favorite part"! etc.) and it's getting harder and harder to
    find videos I can rent at "Blockbuster" that I can show to my kids (11
    and 12)

    KK IV has been and gone.  It was in the theatres a couple months ago
    with a female "Kid".

353.8Title was "The Next Karate Kid"QUARRY::reevesJon Reeves, UNIX compiler groupFri Dec 16 1994 22:243
and the female in question was played by Hilary Swank.  It didn't help that
several reviewers lost count and thought it was the third KK movie, but like
the Rocky series, they are pretty hard to tell apart.
