What's with Movie Bonsai?

Hi Hector,

I agree about the bonsai in Die Hard. But I have thought that the one in Karate Kid
was rather outstanding -- the one where Daniel descends down the alley to pick it
up for Mr. Miagi. I read in one of Bonsai Today issue that that particular bonsai
belongs a noted American-Japanese bonsai artist who lives in California. I have
been trying to find the issue but I could not. I will find it one day.

I have not seen the others. I have seen "The King and I" with Mr. Yul Bryner. I
could not stand Mr. Chow and Ms. Foster in the later version -- they butched a
master piece .

Best regards.

Hey guys,
Sorry to bring up a reasonably old post, but I was wandering if it was possible to get lists of the movie/tv/game titles at all?
I'm particularly interested in knowing which video/computer games had bonsai in them!!
Thanks,
Nathan ^_^

Sorry it's taken a while for me to get back to you on this. Please see http://www.phoenixbonsai.com/BoldlyGrow5.html for the short games list. My kids (13-19) have told me of a few others but they haven't given me enough details yet to include those in this listing.

Cordially,
Robert
