He's radical but that's not true about him improvising that. I'm almost positive that the wax on wax off stuff comes from a real guy who was nicknamed the karate kid and used to wax his car to strengthen his shuto.
@@christopherweaver8423How does that mean that he didn't improvise it? They didn't say that he created it they said that he improvised and added it to the movie.
The part where Miyagi reveals that he's been secretly teaching karate to Daniel, is my second most favourite movie scene of all time, slightly overshadowed by the scene where Tom Cruise learns that Dustin Hoffman is his childhood hero, "Rainman"...
Good stuff but, I've heard both Ralph and William Zabka say that they didn't really reconnect until Pat Morita passed away, though they have remained close since.
Good info. That’s for the info. I was surprised that Ralph Macchio and Pat Morita weren’t close after filming the movie. They really made it seem so authentic
All of this is very carefully worded. The two had an amazing chemistry together on screen. At Pat’s funeral Ralph declared that he was “forever his sensei.” That suggests a better relation than this stupid video suggests. They’re not roommates or family so it’s not like they are involved with their intimate details.
Ron Thomas (Bobby) was the only cast member that had martial arts experience. He lied about it and pretended not to know anything until Pat E Johnson guessed and he admitted it. Darryl Vidal, the semi finalist that lost to Johnny was the one doing the crane kick on the beach stump, doubling for Mr Myagi.
That movie has a special place in my heart. The essence of the 80's and my first crush (Ali). Cobra Kai is exellent and my man is now Johnny Lawrence :-)
😆 you need to RUclips, Conan O'Brien and Jordan go to a Japanese restaurant! 😆 Absolutely hilarious... Jordan keeps calling him ma-key-o until Ralph appears,it's hilarious! Watch it!! Then come back and tell me what you thought! 😆
Ralph Macchio did play it perfectly: Daniel really is not a sympathetic character or sweet kid -- He's actually kind of a whiny little punk who almosts asks to be picked on. But, the bullies play their parts so convincingly & with such intensity that you wanna see Daniel kick their asses in the end
Not so. Daniel's a good kid who's just headstrong at times. Moving to a new city where he doesn't know anyone, saying goodbye to his friends and family in Jersey, and getting picked on (nearly) all the time in his new school, of course Daniel might seem "whiny". But I guess fighting back and not letting bullies push him around means Daniel "asked to be picked on".
@@ThomasRobinson-by2wm Yes yes I know that Daniel is actually a good kid who's a headstrong fish out of water -- I've seen the movie. I wasn't trying to get into an in-depth psychoanalysis of Daniel & go through his whole origin story, I was merely saying that on the surface he doesn't come across as sympathetic kid (by design), & that by coming across as whiny in high school, it does lend itself to being picked on. But again, if he hadn't been picked on then he wouldn't have become The Karate Kid, so in the end the universe unfolded as it should
@@Tarantulisimo He actually is more sympathetic and you don't have to look to hard at that. The only time Daniel starts getting "whiny" is after the Cobras ran him down a frickin hill. If that's a reason to pick on him, it's a shit one.
@@ThomasRobinson-by2wm Daniel was actually both. A sympathetic character and a whiner. He was begging for the biggest beating he got by putting the water hose over the bathroom stall. Not too smart, but he was a good kid that was in new situation that he didnt fit in very well with. Just like in real life there are no absolutes. People can be a little bit of everything.
Another weird but true fact im the chopsticks scene where ralph macchio's character daniel larusso catches the fly with the chopsticks the prop crew on the karate kid tied a real flies to fishing lines and plastic flies glued to the chopsticks to make it look like ralph macchio's character daniel larusso caught the fly.
I recall reading something or seeing a deleted scene about that. Apparently their match was edited short but Dutch was DQ'd for being too aggressive. In the theatrical release you see him land a point on dutch and suddenly declared winner.
@@stingray2134 I suppose. If anything I guess the film makers didn't want to pull away from the central drama between Daniel and Johnny. I mean Dutch only interacted with him in that one locker room scene.
Martin lives about 10 min from me here in Nashville. I did some plumbing work on his house after he moved in. Billy was already living here, and talked Martin into packing up and moving to Nashville. He doesn’t live in a big fancy home. It’s a 1 story older house with a lot of land. He lives by himself. He’s a cool guy that loves to talk about the karate kid movie. I asked him one day when I was at his house,, about the scene where he punched the car windows that shattered. I asked if it was real glass or sugar glass…. He told me that scene was filmed twice, a year apart. The glass was gimmicked to be mechanically shattered as he was punching, to where he never touches the window,, but the equipment didn’t work on the 2nd window, and he ended up putting his fist through the window for real. It cut him up real bad and caused some serious damage. He came back a year later after being completely healed up, to finish filming the scene… he said that the shot of his fist shattering the window and his arm going through, was filmed the first session. So when they came back the next year. They filmed him pulling his fist back out of the window, showing the blood
1984 was the best year of movies ever, there may be some arguments for some late 90s years after pulp fiction was released and studios were making independent stylized studio films like American Beauty etc. But I don't think they beat 1984. Karate Kid, Nightmare on Elm Street 1, Terminator 1, Bachelor Party, Beveryly Hills Cop, Breakin, CHUD, Children of the Corn, Company of Wolves, Conan the Destroyer, Dune, Firestarter, Footloos, F13 4, Ghostbusters, Gremlins, Hot Dog, Indiana Jones Temple of Doom, Karate Kid, The last Starfighter, Never Ending Story, 1984, Ninja III The Domination, Police Academy, Purple Rain, Razorback, Revenge of the Nerds, Silent Night Deadly Night, Sixteen Candles, Star Man, Star Trek Search for Spock, This is Spinal Tap, Toxic Avenger, Toy Soldiers, Absolutely insane year of movies that spawned franchises, and still hold up better then a lot of stuff made today. Banger after BANGER!!!
@@gajibr so what? That makes difference, and Toy Soldiers doesn't come close to being one of the best movies, that build a franchise. Toy Soldiers is just an Ok film not the best, not the greatest, and one movie doesn't define the best year of film ever which still goes to 1984, although some arguments could be made for the late 90s post tarantino's Pulp Fiction where studios were making Independent feeling films. Early 90s is actually one of the worst times for films and 91 is a terrible year for movies.
I saw an interview with Elizabeth Shue laughing that she could have beat up Laruso..The only guys who looked the part were most of the Cobra Kai’s like Johnny and Dutch.
Never seen anyone so unable to do the raw basics of self-defense as Laruso. The character (or actor) wanted to back away all the time. They should have at least given him some boxing training to reduce his apprehensions.
@@electronwave4551 he backed away because he was scared. They had a psychological advantage over him because he was brand new and fighting Black Belts in an all-valley tournament. His apprehensions is basically what got him past the first two rounds

@@movieswelove99 No worries, everyone has to start somewhere, I would learn resolve - 1. its free 2. much better NLE 3. Audio is a dream in it 4. exporting is also dreamy - use less transition effects. use pace light and movement. the whole idea of an edit is to convey emotions through sound and images, a simple dip to black of 8 frames to move from scene to scene to seperate different moments IE when you top 10 moves from 10 to 9 use a dip, then within the scenes try to not use transitions or keep the same transition generic, when you use too many different transitions it feels messy. Panning dialogue will help it cut through music cleaner.
Pat Morita was a very funny comedian in the 60's. He was great on MASH in the 70s and he was always a comedian but everyone knew him from Happy Days until he did the Karate Kid movies.
I know one of your “facts” is incorrect. The character of Bobby was indeed a black belt in karate when he was signed onto the film you can look into that.
To go off on the tangent, but if you watch cobra Kai the TV show, you can really tell that the actors who reprise the rules from the karate kid really do have great and deep friendships
@@movieswelove99 Haha nice!! I like simple pleasures like butter in my ass and lollipops in my mouth. That’s just me, that’s something I enjoy. Call me crazy, call me a pervert, but that’s just me
I watched this movie in ‘84 while in highschool and started Karate that year. Karate lead me to wrestling and wrestling lead me to Judo with an amazing sensei who sent me to Japan. That was 36 years ago today… And now I have 3 grandchildren in Japan 😅
I've the same name as the kid, and did karate as a kid.. so got called Daniel San alllll the bloody time. And I perfected the Crane Kick.. the one in the movie still brings tears to my eyes.
The fact about William Zabka and Ralph Macchio being close friends for almost 40 years is not true. William Zabka and Pat Morita where close friends since the first movie and after the funeral he and Ralph became close friends (2005). So close friends for almost 20 years, but not the 20 before that.
A couple of corrections it's macchio and ralph did most of his own stunts not counting tumbling down the hill on the bike and when he was running from the cobras and he jumped onto the cars to get away from them that was a stunt guy
I saw Pat Morita(Mr. Miyagi) at Imperial Palace Casino almost 20 years ago around 2005. I was so excited because I love the Karate Kid and loved the Miyagi character. He got a marker for $500 to play craps. I decided to quickly introduce myself and when I approached him he was rude and mean. I was shocked obv because I was expecting this super nice grandfatherly type that I saw in the Karate Kid movies. I walked away and talked to a Pit Boss who told me that Pat Morita a regular gambler there and was unfriendly and rude to everyone. He also told me he was a degenerate gambler who lost lots of money. Also fyi Imperial Palace Casino is no longer around but it was a dump. Pretty old and run down. So to see Pat Morita there was a shock but the fact that he was a regular there tells me he probably lost most of his savings. He died a few years later, my guess broke.
1:05 I found out that gestures of work etc is real in Okinawan karate Although it was play fighting sporty, experience proved to me that the wax on-wax off is that effective and competent for martial arts at the movie portrays
i remember reading about that....also it turns out in that one scene where Bobby attacks the leg, Ralph told him to actually tear his ACL and he did it, and then they filmed Pat Morita healing it for real with his powers, only took one take
The UK TV version is a joke. They cut all the karate out for fear of kids going around karate-ing each other. So really it should just be called 'The Kid'
the weirdest part i always wondered was it was just some nothing karate tournament. i went to heaps as a kid and nobody in the real world cared or even knew about them. then decades later Daniel has a car showroom and is doing the miyagi stick still, and johnny is a drunk lost cause still sulking after 2 decades. they kind of made up at the end and she went off to do the football team or something anyway. the original in the cinema as a 15yr old martial artist still resonates with me today. and Rocky 4.

I find all these quite believable.
why do i tear up every time i see Mr.Miyagi???
memorys it actually makes me feel sad watching these
I watched My Cousin Vinny last night.
Never seen it.
@@movieswelove99 you should.
You missed the one about The Karate Ditty. The only song written about the Karate Kid.
I always thought Daniel should have a better move than the crane kick but it was a good movie.
I had a theory that Dutch and Kreese were going to meet up in prison. Thoughts?
how is your English so good yet you cannot say anyone's name correctly?
Good point. I just gave the AI a good talking to... I told him your concerns. He promises he'll pronounce better next time.
@@movieswelove99 lol
RIP Dutch.
Why do people expect actors to be friends because they work together. Are they friends or hang out with people they work with.
I am robot 🤖
the weirdest part i always wondered was it was just some nothing karate tournament. i went to heaps as a kid and nobody in the real world cared or even knew about them. then decades later Daniel has a car showroom and is doing the miyagi stick still, and johnny is a drunk lost cause still sulking after 2 decades. they kind of made up at the end and she went off to do the football team or something anyway. the original in the cinema as a 15yr old martial artist still resonates with me today. and Rocky 4.
he gave him a body bag!!!
I could nevervfigurevwho were which cobra kais in the skeleton suits.
It wasn't skeleton masks, it was makeup 😂
@@jamespope7669 the outfit wasn't make up. That wasn't the question anyway I know it was makeup fuck head.
I don’t know why but I’m pissed that Maccio and Morita weren’t real Life buds. I wonder if it was one-sided. Did one not like the other?
It's unfortunate the Italian guy and the Japanese guy couldn't be Friends like their Homeland Countries were during World War 2.
Pat Morita hated Ralph Macchio in real life... I think Macchio was a douche back then.
There was a big age gap. They probably had very little in common
They were good friends. I dont know where this guy gets his info.
@@jfearless3420 I guess it’s more of these guys just making up anything they want just for clicks and subscriptions. There’s literally nothing to hold them accountable for talking complete bullshit.
When is the next half of cobra kai out . Willl dutch be in it
It's a no😢
Daniel should have been disqualified for the illegal kick to the face.
