Rudy and Karate Dog
January 29, 2008 12:59 PM
ABC NEWS' JAN SIMMONDS WRITES:
Oscar winning actor Jon Voight has been fighting the fight the last two weeks to help Rudy Giuliani win the state of Florida and go on to be elected president. But back in 2004, he was fighting a trash-talking pooch with ninja skills named Cho Cho.
In the little known children's film "Karate Dog", in which Voight executive produced, the former Midnight Cowboy plays a Ninja Villain who does battle karate canine. You can watch the infamous, or soon to be, battle HERE.
I talked with Voight today about his on-screen battle with some of my fellow reporters.
"I can take dogs, but that was a super dog, you know what I'm saying? It's just the luck," said Voight about his man versus dog battle in which he threw everything including the kitchen sink -- only to come up short.
With our greatest journalistic skills, we went on to ask the legendary actor if he could draw any comparisons between his fight with Karate Dog and the battle Rudy Giuliani is currently to win Florida today.
"Look we are in a battle, we have to stay alert, you what I'm saying?" said Voight. "And we gotta stay away from dogs, that's the whole thing."

An ominous portent here for Mayor Giuliani: his principal Hollywood supporter starred in a dog of a film, er, I mean in a film aabaout dogs called "Karate Dog." This is a case of one dog backing another, or of two barks not making a bite.
