The Karate Kid Movie Description:
Daniel (Ralph Macchio) moves to Southern California with his mother, Lucille (Randee Heller), but quickly finds himself the target of a group of bullies who study karate at the Cobra Kai dojo. Fortunately, Daniel befriends Mr. Miyagi (Noriyuki "Pat" Morita), an unassuming repairman who just happens to be a martial arts master himself. Miyagi takes Daniel under his wing, training him in a more compassionate form of karate and preparing him to compete against the brutal Cobra Kai.
The Karate Kid is a 1984 American martial arts drama film written by Robert Mark Kamen and directed by John G. Avildsen. It is the first installment in the Karate Kid franchise, and stars Ralph Macchio, Pat Morita, Elisabeth Shue and William Zabka. The Karate Kid follows the story of Daniel LaRusso (Macchio), an Italian-American teenager from New Jersey who moves with his widowed mother to the Reseda neighborhood of Los Angeles. There, LaRusso encounters harassment from his new bullies, one of whom is Johnny Lawrence (Zabka), the ex-boyfriend of LaRusso's love interest, Ali Mills (Shue). As a result, LaRusso is taught karate by a handyman and war veteran named Mr. Miyagi (Morita) to help LaRusso defend himself and compete in a karate tournament against his bullies.
Kamen was approached by Columbia Pictures to compose a film similar to Avildsen's previous success Rocky (1976), after signing the director. Kamen drew inspiration from the real life events of an 8 year old Tum Pai student's story in Hawaii when writing the film. As a result, he maintained strong opinions regarding cast, and petitioned heavily for Morita's inclusion. Preparations for the film began immediately after the final edit of the script was complete, and casting took place between April and June 1983. Principal photography began on October 31, 1983, in Los Angeles, and completed by December 16. The film was Macchio's second major film role following The Outsiders (1983).
The Karate Kid was theatrically released in the United States on June 22, 1984. The film received mostly positive reviews from critics, many of whom praised the action sequences, writing, themes, performances, and music. The film was also a commercial success, grossing over $130 million worldwide, making it one of the highest-grossing films of 1984 and Hollywood's biggest sleeper hit of the year. The film revitalized the acting career of Morita, who was previously known mostly for comedic roles, and earned him a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. The film subsequently launched a media franchise and is credited for popularizing karate in the United States.

They take the time to develop the father and son style relationship between them. It also gives us time to emotionally digest Miyagi's loss of his family.

RIP Noriyuki Pat Morita. He's catching flies with chopsticks in Heaven. Daniel and Mr. Miyagi are such great characters, I love Daniel's character growth, and Miyagi's training sessions are simply iconic. "Wax on, wax off!" will forever be one of the greatest lines in any film.

He calls him Danielsan because “san” is a sign of respect, love this movie!!

[@Xeno_Solarus]

Specifically, it's an honorific. Japan has tons of them. San is basically like saying mister, an average honorific. Then you have things like "kun" and "chan" which if I remember correctly are for younger males and females respectively. Then you have things like "sama", which are for those above you, but I can't remember the specifics of that one. Then you have stuff like senpai and sempai, which are for classmates. There are more than that, but it's very interesting. I love Japanese honorifics

[@clevelandcbi]

[@yadnoid2]

My mother (God rest her soul) had the best reaction to this when we first watched it on video during the summer of 1985. Right after it ended she said “rewind the tape, we’re watching that again!” And we indeed watched the movie again right after the first viewing. Classic! 👍🏾

[@jrobwoo688]

This is a true classic. Miyagi and Daniel-San have such an amazing chemistry. They play off each other so well. I hope you watch the rest.

[@JeffKelly03]

With the soccer stuff, Elisabeth Shue was actually a really good soccer player who, in 1972, became the first girl to play on a boys team (she was 9 at the time) where she grew up in New Jersey. Her brother, Andrew -- who is also an actor -- actually briefly played in the MLS, too, so soccer is huge for that family. There's actually a movie loosely based on Elisabeth Shue's experiences playing soccer (which she produced and co-stars in) called "Gracie."

[@JakNasty69]

I love the Karate Kid movies I hope you get to see all of them with you're mom and maybe Cobra Kai, you're mom is always so much fun to watch alongside you

[@BigBWolf90]

Fun facts: Ralph Macchio has that car to this day. The referee for the final match was the instructor for the cast & actually got Steven Segal to back out of a fight

[@punkem733]

segal has backed out of many fights including one with van damme, he has no skills. Gene lebell made him shit his pants.

[@cmdrdredd]

Pat E. Johnson. A true legit martial artist and 9th degree black belt in Tang Soo Do and was president of the National Tang Soo Do congress. He was also in Enter the Dragon as the character who came to see Roper (John Saxon's character) on the golf course to inquire about the money he owed his boss. He was the one doing the talking to Roper and holding the gun.

[@BigBWolf90]

@cmdrdredd huh didn't know that. But yeah Pat Johnson was one of those back in the day who was like "oh no I'll back this shit up cuz I'm not doing this to make money"

[@omgbygollywow]

This movie had heart. I miss movies like that. Today's movies are spectacular, filled with action, CGI, loud music, etc, but lack heart and you just don't care about the characters. This movie, you really care about the characters.

[@ScragsP22]

You said it! I was born in ‘80 and grew up in the 80’s and 90’s. Going to the movies at that time was a whole experience. You’re so right, they don’t make movies with heart like they used to that could take you on an adventure, make you cry, make you cheer and engage your sense of wonder. It’s hard to feel so much as a twinge let alone feel much of anything for the characters or storylines in these modern day movies. They’re so void of anything that makes paying for a ticket worth it. Once in a blue moon they’ll put one out with a little something that reminds me of the feeling of the old greats. I think the last one I saw that was pretty good like that was Top Gun: Maverick. I wish my kids could’ve been able to experience what going to the movies used to be but alas they were just born too late. I try to show them movies from my day but it’s not the same as seeing them back them on the big screen.

[@omgbygollywow]

@@ScragsP22 Today, just like in music today, the people making the movies are just pumping out product like an assembly line plant. Everything looks and feels generic, no originality. In the old days, they were intent on making works of art that had more meaning and was made from passion and heart.

[@bryanmyers5620]

If you want a movie with heart made recently, watch Godzilla Minus One whenever you get a chance. You have to read subtitles, but you get so sucked into the story, and care about every character, that you forget that you're reading. It's basically a WWII period piece from a Japanese perspective that delves deeply into the value of human life. I saw it 4 times in theaters and can't wait to be able to watch it at home.

[@omgbygollywow]

@@bryanmyers5620 Wow, thanks for letting me know. I had never even heard of that movie before, but I checked into it and so many people are raving about it. Sounds like the kind of movie I would enjoy. Thanks, again. Take care!

Now you must go down this rabbit hole include the Cobra Kai series. Do it! DOOO ITTTT! 😂

Cobra Kai is so damn good. A show that started out as a KZbin original has absolutely no right being as good as it is, but it's genuinely one of my favorites.

My brothers, my cousin, and I watched in our pajamas with our Strawberry Shortcake, Dukes of Hazard, and Smurfs sleeping bags in the back of our family station wagon. I remember us excitingly cheering, "Go Daniel!", at the end scene. I'm sure my dad probably got mad and yelled for us to settle down. The 80's man, such good times!

[@jasonm8017]

I remember the Calgon commercial, thanks Mama 🤣🤣🤣🤣 OMG! Fantastic

[@benjamincornelio6204]

This movie has really stood the test of time, considering it came the same year as The Terminator, Beverly Hills Cop, Purple Rain, Footloose, etc. Even though I think this film is the one is the strongest of the original trilogy, 2 and 3 are also really, with my favorite being Karate Kid 2.

[@Uriel77200]

This movie was why I signed up for Karate at 10 years old. Took Kenpo for 9 years. I was born in 72. Gen X through and through. This was a classic movie for us.

[@billbill6094]

Ralph Macchio fought to keep the Miyagi mourning scene in the movie since the producers didn't want a touch of seriousness about the Japanese internment camps or WW2 in their action movie, but he thought it was essential to show respect to the culture and explore the character to not sweep it under the rug. It also goes to show the similarities between the two war vet teachers, who went through the worst thing imaginable but came out two radically different people. Even their status in life reflects it, the man who won the Medal of Honor being tossed aside by US society likely because of his race while the other got successful selling violence. Cobra Kai is definitely worth a watch if you finish the three originals, unlike what most people were expecting back in 2017 before it came out it wasn't just rehashed garbage, there is a lot to love and it's a good twist on the franchise. The Kung Fu Kid with Jackie Chan actually isn't bad, it's not as good as this obviously but if it wasn't named "Karate Kid" I don't think people would be so hesitant to see it. Besides, both that and the OG are in the same world, and they're actually going to crossover with both Ralph and Jackie reprising their roles.

Worth a watch? It's MUCH better then all the movies.

Fun fact: The song "You're the best" was supposed to be in Rocky III but it didn't make it because of "Eye of the tiger" by Survivor. Then it ended up in another classic movie instead.

[@mcgilj1]

From the director and composer of the original "Rocky" at that.

[@omgbygollywow]

You're The Best was also turned down by Flash Dance movie, so Karate Kid got it after two movies turned it down.

[@clevelandcbi]

​@@omgbygollywowDid not know that.

[@JeffKelly03]

Yep. It was originally written for Rocky III, which is why it contains lyrics like "history repeats itself" which obviously makes no sense in the context of Karate Kid, but makes perfect sense for that movie.

[@randeecarreno4289]

Great reaction! Glad that your mom got to join you for this one. 😊 RIP always to Pat Morita(Mr. Miyagi)!!! I grew up with this movie in the 80s. And I still love it to this day. Fun Fact: Ralph Macchio(Daniel)got to keep the yellow car from this movie. And he still has it. I do very highly recommend "Cobra Kai".

[@leffew2000]

The semifinalist Daryyl Videl, not only invented the "crane kick", but he was the one doing it on the stump dressed as Mr. Miyagi. The tournament referee, Pat Johnson was also the fight choreographer. He trained the actors on how to perform the martial arts moves.

[@lijaht7719]

have to do Part 2 Mell!!!

[@JeffKelly03]

Oh by the way: the actor who plays Dutch (the bleach-blonde bully in Cobra Kai) is Chad McQueen, the son of Hollywood legend Steve McQueen. Steve was good friends with Bruce Lee, and Bruce ended up teaching Chad martial arts. And the actor who plays Bobby (the "nice" Cobra Kai dude) was already a black belt when he filmed this, and is a sensei now. So they had some dudes with legit martial arts training on the side of Cobra Kai. The Asian competitor in the tournament is Darryl Vidal, who is another black belt and was the stand in for Pat Morita (Miyagi) in a couple scenes.

The character of Mr. Miyagi was based on legendary Sensei Fumio Demura. (出村 文男, Demura Fumio, September 15, 1938 - April 24, 2023) was a Japanese karateka and kobudoka, based in the United States since the mid-1960s.[2][3] A 9th dan in Shitō-ryū karate,[3] he was Pat Morita's martial arts stunt double in the first, third and fourth Karate Kid films, and was one of the inspirations for the character Mr. Miyagi.[4]

[@omgbygollywow]

40 years later, the legacy continues with Cobra Kai, where they maintain the quality, nostalgia, original cast members, and yet make it fresh and new for the new generation. Best franchise over a long period of time.

[@k.delpino1124]

The late John G. Avidsen (Oscar-winner for Rocky, 1976) directed the first 3 films of the franchise. The Rocky saga's composer, Bill Conti also scored these films too. Karate Kid was actually the name of an DC character from the Teen Titans. So the rights to the name had to be acquired in order to use it as the movie's name. I was 4 years old when this was released. One of the greatest cinematic experiences i ever had. Daniel's story hit home for so many of us kids, learning to be brave and having the right guidance to do so. This movie got me into classical karate to study and later on other martial arts. I knew of Pat Morita as an actor and comedian (Happy Days, Sanford & Son). Morita's voice as Miyagi is the voice of his elders. Such a great performance as Mr. Miyagi and him being nominated for an Oscar was so cool. William Zabka (Johnny) went on to become a Oscar nominee as well for co-writing and producing a short film, Most (2003). All these things, plus 'Wax on, Wax off'. Almost 40 years later. Gotta love it. Also RIP to Martial Arts' legend Pat E. Johnson, playing one of the referees and was one of the film's choreographers.

And such a feel good, underdog story. I don’t remember them marketing this movie well, certainly not for girls. So, I didn’t see it in the theatre. We watched it in class the next year. It instantly became my favourite movie. Every few years I see something I put at the top of my list. Then I watch this movie again and it goes right back up to the #1 spot! Glad you enjoyed it! 😊

🎉 when Daniel bows to him before he leaves, it is just utter respect

[@russgunter3834]

I love mom’s comedy and memory.

I'm not going to give away any plot points or nothing, but I will say that alot of what you an your mom was saying actually aligns with the cobra kai show. so I'd def recommend continuing with the series (being 2-3 + show)
