Karate Kid Movies

In the movie 'The Next Karate Kid', in response to Julie trying to kill a cockroach with her shoe, Mr. Miyagi says he has respect for every living creature, but in an earlier karate kid movie, he tries to catch a fly in chopsticks.‎

Perhaps in the earlier movie Mr. M's intent was to catch the fly and move it to a different area? (After showing off that he can catch a fly in chopsticks). I don't know. It's been a while since I saw this movie.

That's amazing.

But if I were to pretend it wasn't just a continuity error, I would explain that everybody has respect for "all" life to a different degree. Some only humans, some humans and dogs, some humans, dogs, and cats, some all but fish, and so on. Perhaps the miniscule size of the fly earned it a spot on Mr. Myagi's "doesn't count" list.

In The Vanishing 1993 movie, a fly is dropped into a petri dish, I think the dish contained a chemical or something like frozen oxygen. A fly may not be as big as a dog for example, but cruelty to a dog wouldn't be allowed in a movie, a fly is a living being.

Wax on, wax off. That's a well known line in the original...

It's just bad writing. Ralph Macchio isn't in it, so it's not even canon.

None of the other movies in the franchise, after Karate Kid 2, were any good, in my opinion.

Since spiders are other small creatures. I thought I would share this article:-
(Also I heard non I'm a celebrity get me out of here, spiders were eaten. I like how the show raises money for charity but don't like how the living creatures are eaten. I think they should only be eaten if the situation arose where there was no other food available.
