    Bruh... You don't know... When Mr Miyagi tells him to show him the moves... I was 8 when this came out. Our collective heads exploded. To most kids in the west, this was our first exposure to martial arts. We didn't know the alternate training thing. Some schools tried to ban us doing moves from the film. Tried. 😊 Especially that final kick. This is aaaaaaall anyone did at recess for like 6 months.

Since then I became one of the youngest back to back Tennessee state champions in weapons competition in the state's history. These films are much more than hype or nostalgia..they are lessons.

    Absolutely do Karate Kid 2 and 3! Love your reactions and I love how much you’re enjoying many of the movies I grew up loving! After watching the Karate Kid movies, you should totally watch Cobra Kai, it picks up with Daniel and Johnny in the modern day and it’s an incredible series! I’m afraid to say too much, I don’t want to spoil anything, but suffice to say, Johnny is an amazing character! It brings back people and events from all three movies that Daniel was in, so be sure to watch those before the series

    Karate has something for everybody. There's the sports karate for those who like that, there's the philosophical part, the meditation part, the self defense part, it works all the muscles you know you have plus some you don't even knew about, it works your brain, your concentration, your focus, your balance.

    Absolutely love this movie! One of my favorite Ralph Macchio movie.
    Fun Fact: Ralph Macchio(Daniel) got to keep the yellow car from this movie. And he still has it.
    Definitely one of my favorite scenes is when Daniel realized that when Mr. Miyagi was making him do all of those chores, he was really learning karate techniques. That whole scene when Mr. Miyagi was putting Daniel through those karate drills.
    And of course, the 'crane kick' at the end was fantastic.
    I very highly recommend watching the other two sequels, "Karate Kid Part 2 & 3". And then maybe eventually watching the Netflix follow-up series "Cobra Kai". But the two sequel movies are a must watch.

    Great film choice here, brother! You're going down a badass rabbit hole. Parts 2 and 3 are classics too. After that, check out _'Cobra Kai'_ as well! Johnny and Daniel reprise their roles with some really cool cameo surprise appearances woven in there.
    I suggest you watch _'The Next Karate Kid'_ *ONLY* to remember Pat Morita [Mr. Miyagi] but, be warned, the story in that one is garbage. As for the Jackie Chan/Jaden Smith remake of this movie? Again, it's there. Not bad [Chan is great] but, the original still reigns supreme. It was passable but, an unnecessary remake...

    Always loved Elisabeth Shue as an actress and she's a beauty. What a lot of people don't know is that her brother is also an actor and was one of the Cobra Kai in this. He was only seen at the dojo and had no lines. Andrew Shue is best known as Billy on Melrose Place and played pro soccer. He also had small roles in Adventures in Babysitting and Cocktail with his sister

    For anyone who doesn’t know, that medal of Mr. Miyagi’s that Daniel holds up is the Medal of Honor. It’s the highest award for bravery you can receive in the US military.

    Important to know Miyagi & his family were locked up in concentration camps in the US 🇺🇸 when the war started. Males were allowed to go fight against Japan, Germany, & the Axis powers to prove their loyalty. While he was out fighting a decorated military career, his family passed away in the camps. Look up Fort Minor. They did a song about it. Sad but true, these things really happened on our soil.

    Dutch (Chad McQueen) is the son of the late actor Steve McQueen (was in the 60's and 70's). He (Steve) died in an auto accident in 1980. The referee does know martial arts and choreographed the Karate Kid movies. There were several in the tournament that are actually trained in martial arts as well as some of the actors. This one and the second one are my favorites of the series. I haven't seen Cobra Kai (Started on RUclips but is now on Netflix). Pat Morita was fantastic in the Miyagi role! They initially didn't want him for the role! Lots of lessons learned!! Do part 2!!! Shows a bit more history of Miyagi as well!!

    The death of Mr. Miyagi's wife and child is even more tragic, since it's implied that they died from preventable causes due to the lack of medical care at Manzaner one of the 10 Japanese Concentration Camps setup by the US during WW2. His family was forced into the camps, where they then died despite the fact that Miyagi himself volunteered for combat and won the Medal of Honor.

    Leo, I’ve been here for years and you finally made it to my favorite movie of all time.
    My family moved around a lot when I was a kid so being the new kid at school and getting bullied was something that was very common.
    As an adult, I kept noticing something weird -
    At one point in the film Ali asks if she can drive Daniel‘s car, and he says yes. she seems amazed by this and he comments that: “hey, it’s the 80s”
    I LOVE THAT YOU NOTICED THIS TOO!
    I always thought this was a bit of an odd thing to say.
    In karate kid II, after Miyagi‘s home is destroyed, Daniel gets upset and exclaims that this type of violent behavior can’t be allowed because “it is the 80s”
    For some reason I always found these two scenes kind of ridiculous in how American and 1980s “optimistic” they are.

    Recognize Stillwell from The Boys? Love this movie, and the two sequels. Mr. Miyagi is the GOAT. Cobra Kai is a great series too, and the episodes are short, so it's easy to knock them out a few at a time if you need. Just get through the 3rd movie first.

    I think the most touching scene in this film is when we see Mr. Miyagi getting toasted while he remembers being a soldier in the U.S. Army being told that his wife and child had died in an American Japanese internment camp because of the very government he was fighting for. This country is some piece of work.😤
    I'm so glad that Ralph Macchio fought to keep that scene from being cut from the film. RIP Noriyuki 'Pat' Morita.

    The only version that I watch. The sequel isn't bad, but the 3rd is awful. The remake never grabbed me, and I like Jackie Chan. Ralph Macchio and Pat Morita from Happy Days have incredible chemistry. The wax on, wax off stuff is cliched now, but for 1984, it was really well written. Oh yeah, and Elizabeth Shue was hot.

I'll also echo some of the other comments that say you should consider doing the TV show Cobra Kai. It's more Karate Kid stories with new characters and old ones. It really does the films respect and justice but I'm not gonna spoil anything. Just give it a chance!

    I was only around 8 when this was released. It was kids favorite for years. But what it reminds me of now is when I was going through a particularly bad time in my life in my life and my son was around 14. And I never watched this with him but he had watched the new one. But during that time he would randomly text me the song "You're the Best Around", especially when i was struggling. It helped more than he'll ever know. And to this day i still don't know why he chose that song.

    Bro you should def join a fighting gym (whichever martial art you want) and you are definitely not close to being too old to join. Most people at the one I went to many had new people coming from 40's and later. The gyms are really supportive environment too, they're very welcoming.
