So Ren Was Not Only A Good Dancer,But He Martial Artist Too?


So we are led to believe that Ren was not only a good dancer,but out of nowhere he knew Karate?I mean he told Ariel he was worried about Chuck remvoing his lungs with a spoon.But all of a sudden out of nowhere at the end of the movie he's Chuck Norris.Anyone else notice this?

He was an accomplished gymnast, not a reach that he would be good at Karate.

Well when he fought Chuck at the end,it looked like he knew some.

I think that dancing and/or gymnastics might double for karate-skills.

It's like in Karate Kid how "Paint the fence" and "Wax on, wax off" helped Daniel-son win the karate championship.

And I'm wondering if catching a fly with chopsticks helps you build your karate-skills too.

Oh wait--Never mind--That was just beginner's luck.

I don't know if I'd consider a few high kicks martial arts skills but it was poured on a bit thick.

He knew karate like Dirk Diggler knew karate.


My "#3" key is broken so I'm putting one here so i can cut & paste with it.

Who cares about stairs? The main thing is ice cream.

Remember, Ren got into some **** in Chicago.

Probably had to learn how to fight to defend himself from a couple of guys that were up to no good, who started making trouble in the neighborhood.
