No-one DIES on this show!


Yet I thought that

SPOILERS



Chozen and Kreese were done for, by katana and shanking respectively.

reply

Yeah that was quite the shocker to see Chozen get sliced down. I was all like whaaaaa? Then he's fine and joking around like he didn't just take a sword to the back.

reply

You have to look at the actual strike. It's bad, but it's not fatal. More of a severe flesh wound to the upper back.

reply


Yes, but a LOT of flesh!!!

reply

I knew the Kreese thing was a setup. The Chozen scene was fucking retarded, guy gets slashed up by a katana and passes out in the pool, somehow doesn't bleed out or drown while unconscious.

reply

Chozen probably knew some Okinawan secret on how not to drown or bleed to death

reply

They went to the typical 80s cartoon/TV formula...no one dies even if they'd been shot by a bazooka at close range.

reply

I must have missed that scene. Was it in the Vietnam flashbacks regarding the bazooka shots? Who fired at who?

It's remarkable how consistent the understanding your posts always show you to have is. Applauds.

If someone uses an exaggeration to depict how ridiculous things have become, even mentioning it's a 'cartoon/TV formula', you take it to literally mean that actual depiction happened in the show..?

Riiiight.

Thank you

Kreese’s death was faked. I’m kinda surprised you didn’t get that.

As for Chozen, even in real life, it’s possible to survive getting cut.

"As for Chozen, even in real life, it’s possible to survive getting cut."

Chouzen / Chōzen / Choozen .. Heck, I'll take 'Cho-zen' at this point, who am I to say katakana conventions can't be used in Rōmaji..?

Anyway, take a pick, I gave you FOUR (4) correct ways of spelling that name, so you have no excuse in misspelling it ever again.

Now, of course it's POSSIBLE to 'survive' (but how, and what would be the permanent injury implications of such survival if your muscles have been cut? They might never be the same, especially for an older body, if they heal properly at all) 'getting cut', but when you look at the size of the cuts, that clearly go relatively deep into the muscle, the blood loss alone would've been dangerous, not to mention infection from the water and all.

We can keep shoving this unrealistic 'sword cut is no big deal'-crap into people's faces, like they did in the 'Kill Bill' movies (there's no way the 'bride' would've survived EVERYTHING that her body went through from all the fights, punches, kicks (remember, a block still HURTS the blocker!), without very good medical treatment after every 'event' - rock salt shot from a double-barreled SHOTGUN at short range into the chest, sword cuts (we can all the 'twirling ball with sharp edges' a sword in this case) into the flesh, carbon dioxide poisoning (from the cascet - it's not JUST a matter of 'enough air', you know, the air quality could not have been healthy, plus all the dust in the lungs after the digging)...

I mean, her wounds would've been infected the very least - she didn't even have shoes in the desert, and somehow didn't get wounds, injuries, etc. on her feet from the hot desert rocks, sand and all..?

Yeah, it's possible to survive a fall from third or fourth floor, but realistically, you'd be a mess, and the probability is not on your side. Also, I would NOT recommend it any more than 'getting cut' (you make it sound like a pleasure.. you GET to do something..)

reply

The credits for Karate Kid Part II and all official material spells Chozen precisely the way I wrote it so I'll stick to that. Thanks, though. I'm sure there may be someone out there who gives a shit.

"No-one DIES on this show!"

You don't use hyphen with 'no one'. It's just 'no one'. One, that is a 'no'. Why did you think you need a hyphen?

Do people use punctuation RANDOMLY instead of how it's supposed to be used, or is there some grammatical Kreese teaching you kids all the wrong things?

In any case, Johnny should've died from internal bleeding, blood loss, broken bones and who knows what else SEVERAL times in this show. I agree about Chouzen, his wounds would've been pretty much fatal, but Kreese's death was just staged so he could escape, it was some kind of jelly instead of actual blood (I saw it coming, though, so it wasn't very surprising).

reply

"You don't use hyphen with 'no one"

You do with BRITISH English, and since we invented the fucking thing, WE are correct and not YOU Yanks.

reply

And that ends that needless grammar nazi argument!

Well, no, not really - and no, you didn't, and no, it doesn't work that way.

While it is true that "no-one" is sometimes considered an acceptable alternative in British spelling, it is exceedingly rare, and even native Brits might think it a mistake. By far most common on both sides of the pond is "no one".

As for who "invented" the English language, no one did. Languages evolve, meaning American English is every bit as correct as British English.

reply

Second paragraph: I still use "no-one". Sue me.

reply

I don't care.

A couple of guys died in the Vietnam flashbacks.
