The Karate Kid screenwriter Mark Robert Kamen discussed how he fought to keep a heartwrenching scene in the final cut of the film.

The Karate Kid‘s most emotional scene almost didn’t make the final cut of the film.

Screenwriter Mark Robert Kamen, who penned the first film, discussed how he fought for the scene involving Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita) mourning his late wife. “Columbia wanted to cut it out of the movie. And despite what he said later, Jerry Weintraub was all ready to cut it,” Kamen told Uproxx. “And I said, ‘This is the heart of the movie.’ John Avildsen and I felt that way.”

Mitchell Carson and his brief role in Ant-Man is quietly one of the most dangerous lingering plot threads in the MCU.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has introduced plenty of major heroes and unique threats who’ve only to be shifted to the side to make way for ever-evolving storylines that take up more prominence. But there’s one particular minor figure from Phase 2 whose one major act in the MCU could endanger heroes all across the world. Let’s look at Ant-Man’s Mitchell Carson and how his minor role in Peyton Reed’s film potentially poses a major threat to the future of the MCU.

Carson was initially introduced as a member of S.H.I.E.L.D., first appearing in the opening flashbacks of Ant-Man after having risen in the ranks to achieve the title of Head of Defense. He took part in an attempt to replicate the shape-shifting Pym Particles, something that can be incredibly dangerous in the wrong hands. Caron only antagonized Pym when confronted over the act, which resulted in Hank Pym resigning from S.H.I.E.L.D. in anger. But in reality, the reason Carson was so attracted by the idea of Pym Particles was for a much more nefarious reason. He was one of the many Hydra agents who had quietly taken command of certain parts of S.H.I.E.L.D., eventually going rogue after the organization was revealed to the public and evading punishment.

Netflix’s Finding ‘Ohana breaks a major treasure movie trope with its teen hunters, crafting a realistic and inspirational ending.

In many treasure-hunting movies, there’s always that trope where the heroes find the loot and use it in the end. In the Indiana Jones series and National Treasure, the haul was used to enrich the country’s history and for educational purposes respectively, not to mention it garnered the protagonists a great reputation in the public eye.

Then, in films like The Goonies and Romancing the Stone, the heroes used the treasure for personal gain, as seen when Michael Douglas’ Jack returned as a rich man to take Kathleen Turner’s Joan off into the sunset after obtaining an expensive gem. But with Netflix’s Finding ‘Ohana, this cheesy trope is broken, which crafts a perfect ending and gives it a unique position in the genre.
