I just re-watched this today


And what really stood out to me was how stupid Daniel was while 'training' with Terry.

Like how could he not realize that being bruised and broken was not helpful at all? Every time he went in there and Terry hit the heavy bag and then wanted him to hit the boards and stuff I wanted to yell through the TV for Daniel to use his head!

reply

Yeah but to be fair Terry destroys the boards the first time when Daniel wimps out. He just didn't want to look a fool in front of Silver again.

Daniele was an absolute moron throughout the film. Even by his own admission. “Why am I so stupid?!”

Watching Barnes pulverise and humiliate Daniele throughout the film, especially with the way he toyed with him in the final match and leaving him lying sobbing on the mat begging for Miyagi to throw in the towel, with Kreese and Silver laughing on the sidelines was just too good.

Daniele was an an all round loser in this one. I mean He got friend zoned by a cool, low maintenance, out of town chick with no social circle who was hoaching for a bang!

You don't think boxers and MMA fighters get hurt while training?

reply

All athletes deal with bruises aches and pains and injuries constantly.

Don't forget about the part when Daniel asks Mr. Miyagi to show him sweeps. While Miyagi is looking for the broom, Daniel no doubt misplaced, Daniel explains to Jessica how this guy (Terry Silver) told him tournament guys are suckers for front sweeps and she just looks at him with a bewildered look. That is because she was jogging with Daniel when Terry told him about the front sweeps.
