His name is Yuji Okumoto and for the record this guy is the absolute man. I’ll never forget seeing Karate Kid 2 and being so devastated when he kept picking on poor Daniel San.
Actually wait, it was pretty damned funny now that you think about it. And come on! Like Ralph Macchio could kick this guy’s ass? Yuji was the man back then. Totally ripped and he wore incredible button downs and slacks.
Anyway, Yuji’s actually been in lots of movies. If you haven’t seen Aloha Summer I highly recommend it. Currently Yuji still acts, is a restaurant owner and word is, he’s a great guy.
Well, as it sometimes happens, it appears that Thomas F. Wilson, better known as Biff Tannen, has become somewhat characterized these days.
Feel free to check out this Youtube video as well as this one. Thomas has resorted to still uttering the lines “Butthead” and “Make like a tree and get out of here” to get cheap laughs.
I especially like the audience screaming “Yeah Biff!” The movie was made over 20 years ago! Although one can’t complain too much. Wilson’s actually had a pretty great TV career after all the Back to the Future movies.
He’s done well for himself. But here’s to Biff, one of the classic bullies of our generation.
“Sweep the leg. Do you have a problem with that?” “No Sensai.” How we all remember good old Billy Zabka. I think I can safely say no one encompassed the word “villain” moreso than William Zabka did in the 80’s.
First he was Johnny in The Karate Kid. Then he was Greg Tolan in Just One of the guys (a completely underrated 80’s movie by the way). Finally he was the loser diver Chas in Back to School.
Oh we all remember cute Bastian don’t we? He was, you know, the loser tool of the movie “Neverending Story.” Essentially he was the kid reading the book while Atreu was doing all the work.
His real name is Conrad Dunnand I always get a laugh every single time I see this clip. Oddly enough the guy is still working in film and television. Most recently you might have seen him on “The Dead Zone” or “Degrassi High: The Next Generation.”
However, we all know and love him as the “I’ll Kill Ya” guy from “Stripes.” Here’s to Conrad Dunn. “Relax Francis.”
As you guys get to know me you’ll begin to understand that I’m a huge movie fan. I love nothing more than to quote movies and more importantly recognize those obscure and wonderful actors that made movies so great. But sometimes these people fall out of existence.
I’m here to scoop them back up and remind you how great they were. Noah Hathaway is our man of the hour. At the age of 13, Noah played Atreyu in Neverending Story. Atreyu, in my eyes could quite possibly be one of the most badass movie heroes in history. I actually think he might be top 5. The guy was THIRTEEN people! He was killing buffalo and fighting giant wolves before he could jerk off! What a stud.
