Daniel LaRusso: So I guess you know about the tournament tomorrow.
Ali Mills: Who doesn't?
Daniel LaRusso: Dumb move, huh?
Ali Mills: Not necessarily.
Daniel LaRusso: I don't have much of a cheering section.
Ali Mills: You got me.
Daniel LaRusso: Well, I'll probably get killed in the first match anyway.

Continuity mistake: We first see from the inside of the door (and therefore backwards) the instructions that Mr. Miyagi leaves for Daniel to paint the house. In the next shot we see the same note from the outside - from Daniel's viewpoint. Clearly they are two different notes. The left & right arrows switch directions, the drawings of the hands change, the position of Miyagi's signature changes, and the placement of some of the exclamation points changes.
Trivia: Ralph Macchio has almost no sense of smell at all. Just for fun, he makes it a point to smell something at least once during every movie he's in. In this movie, he smells a french fry at the restaurant, and he smells his underarm before approaching Alli.

Chosen answer: He didn't lie. That was the company she was supposed to be working for. However, the company went bankrupt and she lost her job. She showed up at the restaurant at the same time that the hostess quit and was hired immediately.
