Can You Think of a Better Eulogy for Pat Morita? Okay, Well, Then, Can You Think of a Funnier Eulogy for Pat Morita?

A quick plot recap: Miyagi's father in Okinawa dies, so Miyagi decides to fly to Japan. Since Ali dumped Daniel-San, he has no friends and nothing to do all summer, prompting a painful scene in which Daniel-San arrives at the airport just as Miyagi is boarding his plane. That eventually leads to some, 'Please, let me come with you' begging and this hair-raising quote:

'Mr. Miyagi, you're more important than college, you're more important than anything to me.'

(Yup … this was the point in the trilogy in which the Daniel-Miyagi relationship could officially be described as 'a little uncomfortable.')

So they fly to Japan together, as everyone worries they might join the 'Mile High Club' on the flight.


Did anyone make a buddy movie in the 80s that didn't have homoerotic undertones? Someone did? Who? I need a name.
