Karate kid 2 is where youll get your questions answered, great sequel

[@xochitlp]

It was edited out in the first film, but thank God it put into the 2nd film. Very important point.

[@LeadStarDude]

Not only did he teach muscle memory with the work, but he also built muscle for those specific moves by doing the work.

[@RedMenace71]

And he got his cars waxed, his house painted etc. Mr. Miyagi was a multitasker extraordinaire😂

[@clevelandcbi]

Took my daughter YEARS to get me to watch Cobra Kai cuz I thought it'd be just a dumb money grab. I was DEAD WRONG. My all-time favorite show now. Daniel and Johnny aged like fine wine, and Johnny is f'n HILARIOUS. You won't regret it, sir. Guaranteed to bring a whole new group of subscribers aged 8 to 80.

[@jimmyhyun8546]

You know what's hilarious? The Cobra Kai show idea started after a KZbinr made a video saying Daniel was the real bully. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZCqq5KfidqFg68

[@leifgunnartoth8070]

I love the show to. Only thing I don't like is that Danny and Johnny never really talked out. Whenever there was a dispute, they threw punches, then went seperate ways. And every single dispute was just dumb misunderstandings LOL But the show is awesome. Love how they managed to bring in all the characters :D

[@leifgunnartoth8070]

@@jimmyhyun8546 Yes and no. It all started with Johnny being an asshole, but Danny just had to keep it going. If Danny had let i go at the start, we wouldn't have Karate Kid :P

[@corymccarty8603]

Yeah totally after you finish the movies watch Cobra Kai but see the movies FIRST. Too many appearances from characters from the movies. If you don't watch the movies you won't fully appreciate the series. Finish theo ies then watch the series.

[@sonnystaton]

What you missed was his pregnant wife died because she was in an internment camp with no doctor, the only crime she or any of them were in there for was having japanese blood. Born American or not it didn't matter, they were all locked up no matter what. My town had a huge Japantown, they were all shipped off to camps in the desert. They came back their property all sold off, even though many of the men were fighting in the war.

[@sonnystaton]

@Mr.Schitzengigglez WTF are you talking about. The letter Daniel read clearly stated that his wife & child died at the manzanar relocation center. That was one of the biggest camps they built to send Japanese Americans to live throughout the war. It's a national historic site. Miyagi said "first American Miyagi waiting to be born". Miyagi also stated "no doctor in camp". The manzanar relocation camp national historic site is off hwy 395 in in the easter Sierras in the Mojave desert. I've been there. If you don't know what you are talking about STFU.

[@sonnystaton]

@Mr.Schitzengigglez If you missed that that Miyagis wife was in the manzanar relocation camp & that they died because there was no doctor in the camp & have no idea what the Manzanar or the other relocation camps were, you missed the whole point of the movie. Also I recommend the book "Farwell to Manzanar".

[@Mr.Schitzengigglez]

@@sonnystaton I'm aware of the camps. Wasn't part of the story though.

[@sonnystaton]

@Mr.Schitzengigglez Not only was it part of the film, it was THE most important part. Daniel right here reads ALLOWED "we regret to inform you on November 2nd 1944 at the Manzanar relocation center your wife & newborn son died from complications arising from childbirth" Miyagi was also heard screaming "No doctor in camp". Maybe English is not your 1st language, but you clearly missed the entire point of the movie. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6HZf5acZ7uVY9ksi=M5RDoWsjAEatGwuk

[@chrisking6667]

Agreed. It was the whole point of the film. Resentment breeds hate. However you need to remember the Japanese pulled a sneek and bombed the shit out of Pearl Harbour when the Americans thought they were all good. That could not stand. The Japanese internment camps in hindsight seems a disgraceful act but at the time it's what needed to be done.

[@cmdrdredd]

In his box was a Medal of Honor as well. A lot of people miss that

​@DevinGtv901 I don't know if you're too young yet, but there is a different rabbit hole out there. When I mean you're too young, it don't mean your age. Something I can not explain to you through here. If you're fully interested/ invested I can explain .Mr. Miyagi is an INFJ. I am 98.9% sure, you are an ESTP. Just let me know when you're ready to wake up.

Golf n' Stuff, the one in this movie, actually exists and is still in operation. It is located in Norwalk, CA. Unfortunately, the water slide is not longer in operation, but according to their website, the go carts, mini golf, bumper boats and arcade are still in use.

[@notanyonespecific]

The Cobra Kai return to Golf N Stuff is legendary

[@andreadeamon6419]

​@@notanyonespecificthink there's one in Georgia they went to. I'll have to look that up again

[@MacMc691]

Watch part two, it picks up where this one leaves off. All I’ll mention. Good reaction. Still a great movie all these years later.

[@andreadeamon6419]

Another thing that people don't realize is at the end when Daniel is lifted in the air - it's from the guys that he hung around with at the beach. The guy he met his first day - if you go back and look at his shirt it's 2 piggys - doing it and it says makin bacon (my friend had the same shirt - her sister got it for her for her 16th birthday). When you watch cobra kai there's a training session in a freezer and if you look at the boxes - it's his business. So they kept in touch. Then there's another training session where they're in a old warehouse and it says webber. That was supposed to be daniels last name in the movie but he told them that there's no way that it would be an Italians last name so they asked him what would he suggest. Ralph told him - more vowels. So they came up with larusso

[@4MINGTHOUGHTS]

Two is a must do. You get to learn all about Mr. Miage. My favorite of the series. ❤️ 😍

[@DevinGtv901]

Is on the bucket list

[@randeecarreno4289]

Great reaction! 😊 RIP always to Pat Morita(Mr. Miyagi)!!! I grew up with this one in the 80s. And I still love it to this day. Plus, this movie is one of my all-time favorite soundtracks. Fun Fact: Ralph Macchio(Daniel) got to keep the yellow car from this movie. And he still has it. You 100% definitely need to watch the remaining Karate Kid movies along with the Netflix follow-up series Cobra Kai. Both sequel movies(The Karate Kid Part 2 & 3)are an absolute must watch before starting on Cobra Kai. And The Next Karate Kid is also a must watch. Looking forward to your next reaction. 😊

I don't know if you caught this or not but mr miyagi was also a medal of Honor recipient and the Japanese regiment of the United States army during world war II is the most highly decorated of all time with the most medal of Honor recipients in US history

[@Thundarr100]

​@@DevinGtv901 Your mileage might vary on how good the sequels are, depending on your tastes. Personally, I like the second one a lot. It might be even better than the original. The third one? Not quite as much. The added antagonist is cartoonishly evil, which both adds and detracts from the movie. It adds entertainment value, but detracts from your ability to suspend disbelief. The fourth movie can be skipped entirely if you want. It has some good moments, but on the whole it's nowhere near as good as the previous three. The remake has nothing to do with the other four, so you can watch that at your leisure if you so choose. Once you've finished watching the main three movies, you MUST watch Cobra Kai. It's an incredible series. And not too time consuming either. Each season is only ten episodes long. Watch two at a time and you'll breeze through the seasons really quickly.

[@andreadeamon6419]

The fancy karate guy fighting Johnny - was mr miyagi stunt double. The ref in the red t-shirt with the mustache was the trainer for both cobra kai and Daniel even though they weren't allowed to show each other much until the tournament. He was also best friends with Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris.

I always appreciate your support my friend 🙌🏾

[@TotallyTVNATION]

I think the point to the work Daniel had to do was for a few reasons.... it's a workout so his muscles are being used, it requires discipline, it creates muscle memory, and it build callus around your body, making taking hits a little easier. Old boy came from a different era, they didn't do Karate school, they learned Karate and respected it.

[@mikeakey3358]

God i LOVE this movie. Im 44, and every time I see it, i watch it

One of my fav movies, its iconic but at the same time seriously underated. Its a perfect movie

[@neildavis1639]

You should check out the movie crossroads from 1986 starting Joe Secena and Ralph Machio. It’s about a young classical guitar student at Juilliard school of music. But his heart is in the Blues. He befriends an old man in a nursing home who he believes to Willie Brown harmonica player for the legendary Blues man Robert Johnson. The two set off on an adventure to the mysterious crossroads to get willie’s soul back from the devil. I think you’ll love it.

[@emilykeegan4345]

Yes ❤❤ I loved crossroads when it came out on VHS! Thanks for reminding me about it! Such an under rated gem 💎💎

[@johnmonk66]

the next movie begins moments after this scene, showing the bad teacher fighting the good one

[@nickperkins8477]

The good thing about the car problem is that Ali saw both of them, saw the actual picture of the situation. I think it’s low-key funny the way Daniel gets out of the car.

Good to see you back doing movies, you been gone for a while Devin

[@jculver1674]

John Avildsen was an incredible filmmaker - he made both the Rocky and Karate Kid movies. He also made a really good movie called Lean On Me with Morgan Freeman as a high school principal, you should check that out too. This was one of my favorite movies as a kid, but it was only as an adult that I noticed how deep the relationship between Daniel and Miyagi is. Daniel got the father figure he needed, and Miyagi got back some measure of the family he lost.

[@bobhowell9377]

I love because of this movie. How i met your mother made me see this movie from the bad guys perspective, and then we get cobra kai is great.

[@subitman]

Pat Morita (Miyagi) played in a 30 minute sitcom running a restaurand and being the cook for a restaurant frequented by high schoolers set in the 1960's. I think the show was made the 80's The show is called Happy Days.

[@kennethturner8290]

Yeah, Bonsai trees require a specific amount of water and sunlight. They are tricky to maintain, which makes them rare and usually makes them expensive.

[@lightguy13]

crazy thing is Daniel is the aggressor in most of the situations. Johnny was non violent and not looking for trouble most of the time, even the beach scene he was avoiding getting hit by Daniel till he's sucker punched, then he fights back. Even at the beginning when he says he's an ex-degenerate and won't drink then was calmly trying to just talk to Allie and work things out. Come halloween everything is calmed down and they coexist completely peacefully until Daniel starts sh*t with him. Daniel is the bully.

[@lorencamarillo4601]

This may be through nostalgia glasses, but this is one of the all time feel good, coming of age movies. The second part is also a must watch as, IMO, it’s just as good as this one. Great reaction! If you don’t feel something at the end when Daniel is on the table, then I don’t think you’re human. 😂

[@SurvivorBri]

A couple interesting facts. Chuck Norris was originally offered the role of John Creese but he turned it down because he didn't like the negativity and cruelty surrounding the instructor's teaching style. Elizabeth Shue (Ali) was a star soccer player in her high school. Knowing that, it's kinda funny seeing Daniel teaching her how to bounce the ball on her knees lol.

[@KHAOE1]

43:45 that's martial artist Darryl Vidal. He was Pat Morita's (Mr. Miyagi) martial arts stunt double.

[@vovindequasahi]

Finally! Such a great movie! Watch them all bro! They are all great! There are some thoughts out there about who is the real instigator in this, Daniel or Johnny. After Johnny takes him down on the beach first time, he is like ready to call bygones, with "You had enough hero?" ready to lend his hand to him. Had he done that, he probably would have been respected and even invited to join their dojo. Instead Daniel sucker punches him. Later on at the dance Daniel hoses him in the bathroom. This idea is further lifted in the Kobra Kai series recently made. I recommend you watch all the Karate Kid movies, then the series.

There was a boy born with only one arm. He wanted to be a wrestler. So he went to the wrestling master and asked him to teach him wrestling. The master taught him one move and had him practice over and over. The boy was confused but didn't say anything. Then he entered into a championship. He was afraid because he faced opponents who had both hands, were older and more experienced. But he fought and used the one technique he knew and won against his opponents. He reached the final and faced his strongest opponent and he won against him too. He asked his master how he was able to beat stronger and more experienced opponents. The master replied, the move that he taught, there was only one defense against that, the opponent has to grip his other arm. But since he didn't have the other arm, they were vulnerable.
