Original films:

  • Miyagi is doing his "catch the fly with the chopsticks" bit, and Daniel walks in.

 Daniel: What are you doing?

Miyagi: Man who catch fly with chopsticks, accomplish anything!

Daniel: May I try? *almost immediately catches the fly* Look! Mr. Miyagi! I did it!

Miyagi: *throws his chopsticks down in disgust* You beginner's luck!

2010 film:

  • Dre's mom tells him to practice his Chinese, so he turns to a Chinese guy and speaks (very poor) Chinese. The Chinese guy's response was absolute gold.

 Dre: *Attempts to say "What's your name?" in Chinese, and not doing a very good job.*

Chinese Guy: ... Dude, I'm from Detroit.

    • It should be noted that this is the part where the title card comes in, signifying that this will be a long and difficult movie for Dre.
