OUT NOW More Than Miyagi: The Pat Morita Story

Pat Morita portrayed an iconic character when he became Mr. Miyagi for 1984's The Karate Kid. He became a Hollywood legend and remains so after his death in 2005, but this role was only part of his story. Now filmmaker Kevin Derek will talk about Morita's entire life in the documentary, More Than Miyagi: The Pat Morita Story.

According to Entertainment Weekly, the upcoming film will hit streaming services, such as iTunes and Amazon Prime Video, on Feb. 5. The documentary will feature archive footage of Morita, showing him at different stages of his life. For example, Derek will explore the actor's childhood battle with spinal tuberculosis, as well as his time working as a stand-up comedian. More Than Miyagi will also address his later struggles with drug and alcohol addiction
 
I wonder how deep they'll go into his relationship with Redd Fox. They were apparently really good friends, and Red was pretty much responsible for Pat's eventual success.
