More Than Miyagi: The Pat Morita Story

More than Miyagi 2021 is a documentary about the actor who played the role of Miyagi in The Karate Kid.

The documentary is an old interview with the deceased Pat Morita and a couple of people coming together to give their opinions on him. And as I watched it, I was getting a 'how much can we still profit off of this guy' vibe

If somebody disrespects your family in public, I don't care who was in the wrong, your loyalty and love is evident by who you side behind. Pat Morita's wife seemed to have moved on before his death

Evelyn Guerrero then proceeds to paint herself as the victim?

There is no interview from Pat Morita's children or his 2 ex-wives (17 and 19 year old marriages). Though, I honestly can't see them on good terms with Evelyn Guerrero. Evelyn is so fake, and I'm not talking about her face

Pat Morita had a lot to drink about and never got a good and healthy outlet to channel his pain and regret, the people around him failed to offer him that too. That is my impression at least. Hell, after watching this, I need a drink.

More than Miyagi 2021 is the video they needed to promote Pat Morita's unfinished manuscript... That will then be finished by Evelyn Guerrero?

This isn't just touching because of the cobra kai series, or because of the karate kid, it's touching because the man himself has a story. I'll admit, I didn't know him from his other ventures as I was only young when karate kid arrived but I bacame a massive fan. He's left a big mark on Hollywood that's still spawning shows today.. I recommend everyone who is a fan watch this. You won't regret it. R. I. P

Inspirational, sad, interesting and a tragic story. There are a few new things I learned about Noriyuki from this story. Thank you to those involved for bringing this to us.

More Than Miyagi: The Pat Morita Story is a wonderful story about Pat Morita - a man most of know as Mr. Miyagi. I grew up watching The Karate Kid franchise on free cable every weekend. I did not know Pat Morita had other films either than Karate Kid thus this was pleasant to watch. It's sad how alcoholism ravaged his life and how he did not care about his life towards the end of his life.

This was enlightening.

I only knew of him through Karate Kid. Being Irish and living in Ireland, I never saw all his other renditions. Thankfully, through this documentary, I didn't. There is nothing worse than having to lower oneself to the lowest common demoninater, to achieve employment.

His acting skills were demonstrated in the Karate Kid movies. While he was depicted as a comic, that was for show. He was a showman but, he also wasn't. There is a difference between being a comic, and portraying being a comic.

Having viewed the documentary, he was a skilled actor. Unfortunately, only for The Karate Kid series, he was just another asset, to be used and abused, at will; by the powers to be. And that is what happened. Not only that? What a bloody waste.
