I think IMDB's fudging things
It seems sometimes like they downplay women's heights, too, if they're really tall.
Can we maybe vote on the whole murdering people issue?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
By they, you understand it is us, right? If you want to get truly obsessive about it, check celebheights.com. That site gives me a headache, people are so crazy. They have Radcliffe at 5'5.

CJ loved Karate Kid - he went with a bunch of buddies from the dojo. I haven't seen it yet, but he knows my absolute love of the original and he said I need to see it.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I was just looking at the IMDB entry for David McCallum, who always looks like such a tiny guy on NCIS, and they say he's 5'8". I would have guessed closer to 5'6", myself.
ETA: I'm guessing Mark Harmon is around 5'11" (both Michael Weatherly and Sean Murray are supposed to be 6'1"), and he is definitely several inches taller than McCallum.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think I have found the answer to he discrepancies between men's and women's reported heights: Guys like to give their height with shoes, if they think they could use the extra inch, but women never do that....
Anyway, every time I saw an ad for the Karate Kid, I thought it looked awesome.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I am six feet tall.
In four-inch heels.

I was surprised that the trailer for Karate Kid looked so good. I don't think I ever saw the first one, not completely anyway.

Hmm. Now I'm wondering if I give guys' heights with shoes on or not. I guess they more have standard shoes, so that's easier.
I still think Colin is 6'.
