      That “Glory of Love” song by Chicago in “Karate Kid 2” line goes “I am a man who will fight for your honor.” So cool how she used that line and said “I will always be the woman that will fight for your honor.”

    An actor friend of mine was in a play years ago with the actress who played Danial's mother in The Karate Kids films and he said, All you had to do was mention Ralph's name and she'd smile broadly, get misty in her eyes and gush about what wonderful, sweet and kind person Ralph is and that she really did love Ralph like a son. Evidently, he has a rep as one of the truly nicest guys in Show Business.
