As a long-time fan of high-school wrestling (don’t ask), I’ve always thought Vision Quest was an under-appreciated movie. Nice homage you’ve put together here.
I’m working on a tribute to Karate Kid that may include a one-leg overhead squat (OH Pistol?) to simulate The Crane. Stay tuned.
Speaking of the karate kid and MPH movie night I give you the 2010 Outdoor movie festival schedule. The capitol river front rows one has my favorite line up. just sayin….

Late to the game, I know, but my entry into the movie-themed WOD is:
Vision Quest – It ain’t the 6 minutes, it’s what happens in that 6 minutes.
AMRAP
6 minutes
-double unders
1 minute rest
6 minutes
-towel pullups (substitute for peg board climb; rope climb is probably a better sub, but we don’t have)
1 minute rest
6 minutes
-pushups
1 minute rest
6 minutes
-weighted step ups; 24 inches, 55 lbs/35 lbs (substitute for telephone pole bleacher climbs)
For those that are not familiar, here is a link that pretty much tells the story (not tech savy enough to insert video directly).

ooh Katie and I had also chatted about a karate kid WOD. We also had pistols and single arm KB swings (wax on wax off).
Wouldn’t the single arm KB swings be paint the fence? I like it.
You’re right T.

Gang,
If you’re planning on joining us to crash District CrossFit at 12p this Saturday, don’t forget to cancel yourself from our class if you’re registered.
