Description

A fatherless teenager faces his moment of truth in The Karate Kid. Daniel (Ralph Macchio) arrives in Los Angeles from the east coast and faces the difficult task of making new friends. However, he becomes the object of bullying by the Cobras, a menacing gang of karate students, when he strikes up a relationship with Ali (Elisabeth Shue), the Cobra leader's ex-girlfriend. Eager to fight back and impress his new girlfriend but afraid to confront the dangerous gang, Daniel asks his handyman Miyagi (Noriyuki 'Pat' Morita), whom he learns is a master of the martial arts, to teach him karate. Miyagi teaches Daniel that karate is a mastery over the self, mind, and body and that fighting is always the last answer to a problem. Under Miyagi's guidance, Daniel develops not only physical skills but also the faith and self-confidence to compete despite tremendous odds as he encounters the fight of his life in the exciting finale to this entertaining film.

    It first starts off with a shaky kid who ages oddly weird. He is older than Thomas Ian Griffith as he is seen as Terry Silver. The shaky kid is Daniel LaRusso, who is nervous about moving to LA. I like how they added a little love sequence between him and Ali “With an I” and that is what sparked EX-Degenerate Johnny Lawrence to fight with him. I feel like Bobby Brown did not get enough credit as he deserves. Anyways, It is a great movie and I am not gonna spoil it, “so watch it, or your karate is a joke!”-Sean Kanan

    This is a good movie, but skip the sequels. It’s the same thing all over again. But the next karate kid was pretty good in my opinion. And the reboot because it had a more modern kick.
  • Best 80s movie!!!!
