[@maverick2242]

Daniel wants to fight, Johnny unknowingly practice true Myagi do Karate and only defending against attacks by Daniel and his insecurities and assumptions and misconceptions, especially where his daughter is concerned, she can do no wrong when in fact she is the centre of imbalance!

[@AA-RON80]

I wonder why the writers made Johnny look like he never got up at the new beginning of Cobra Kai S1E1. At the end he hands Daniel the trophy via your statement. I guess the writers wanted a new approach to CK S1E1 beginning. I remember as a Kid watching this and then now new CK the writers make a new approach.

@@cheyennejourney On my KZbin channel, I recently did an interview with Darryl Vidal (the stunt-double for Pat Morita in the scene of Miyagi practicing the crane kick on the beach. Vidal is often called the creator of the crane kick). In the interview, Vidal told me that he never believed the crane would work in a real fight. Still, even after listening to a real martial artist explain it, this is still just such a great scene in film history.

I feel like John Lawrence's character always had a heart deep down. Even when Kreese says the ever famous "sweep the leg" line, Johnny looks at him like he's insane. Before cobra kai I used to dislike Johnny but the writers did a really nice job of giving his character depth and potential that makes you want to root for him.

[@coomingnotgoing904]

the funny thing is, sweeping the front leg is a completely legal and fair move, so he really doesn’t have any reason to be shocked by that

@@alenciaga21 If attacking Daniel’s weak leg was a concern to him, he wouldn’t have hit Daniel’s hamstring after Daniel threw him down at about 2:12.

[@alenciaga21]

@@coomingnotgoing904 Yes he obviously did what Kreese told him to do. He would have been stupid not to... And maybe he was also angry that Daniel stood up again and again. Because he knew he needed to win to impress Kreese. There was no "I did my best" for Kreese. But I think he didn't really want to. That's why he congratulates Daniel immediatly and stands up to Kreese after the tournament.

[@coomingnotgoing904]

@@alenciaga21 Oh I agree with that 100%, just my original point was that it’s kind of interesting that he had doubts about doing something perfectly legal and clean like a front leg sweep. Obviously Kreese got in his head and made him think he needed to win at any cost, or else he wouldn’t have done that elbow bs, but that was only at the end that he got desperate. I personally think it would’ve been more convincing for Kreese to tell him to re-injure Daniel’s leg and have *that* be when Johnny started showing doubt.

He was at the top of his game, his confidence in himself solidified, until he met Barnes, who ran circles around him, and soon enough he had Terry, Barnes and Kreese breaking down that solid confidence, and state of mine which got him through the second movie. You gotta look at II, he was fighting for Kimikos life, and I he was fighting for his own life, he had to do what he did, there was no chance for fear, no moments where he could hesitate, but here, after everything, he was still getting his ass beat up and down the block; the whole movie is him overcoming fear, because he’s not invincible, and he lost a part of himself.

For years, I had always thought (assumed) maybe they filmed Daniel's 'crane' stance & kick *_separately from_* Johnny's lunge forward, his head snapping back & then falling to the floor...and then during editing they had spliced the two together, making it look like Daniel really _did_ hit Johnny in his head.

I love how everyone hypes up Johnny for saying "you are alright Larusso" ignoring the fact that Johnny made a bunch of illegal blows in a desperate attempt to win.

[@brandyDC]

Cause Kreese scared him into doing it

When Daniel beats Johnny Johnny says your alright LaRusso 10/10 respect 💛

"No such thing as bad student, only bad teacher." So true. That goes for all children, we have to teach them right. Parents, teachers, and senseis.

[@actorben]

I can imagine Samantha winning the All-Valley tournament & her saying, "Dad, we did it!" Daniel just smiles from ear to ear & nods just like Mr. Miyagi did.

[@lenilenape]

Loved Mr. Myaggi's personal philosophy. Tremendous ending.

I wonder if an ending scene ever have been so important for a movie’s status as a classic? Watched this as a kid in the 90’s and this is what I remember. They got it as right as they could get it and still epic today

[@jbmusic1118]

Wow i just noticed at 2:16 johnny's headband falls off and the referee picks it up.

[@ccarlos462]

One of the greatest scenes in cinema history. Love this movie

[@hectorlopez1069]

An iconic scene in movie history.

This movie is outstanding. Inspired a whole generation of children. This movie is a league of its own.

I first discovered this film twenty years ago. I've watched it over five times a year ever since, and it still makes me cry happy tears when the music kicks in.

[@imhere2clownyourass348]

I always loved how the movie ends with mr miyagi smiling and the epic music playing as it pans into darkness signifying mr miyagi's job was complete for now.

1:19 kick in the face

[@yoursthely2786]

And that counted for 1 point

[@joshuasteward6097]

It's legal in this tournament and Johnny kicks him in the face earlier in the match. Why can't everyone accept that? The story is the bully loses. And, heck, why not flex the rules if the other side is unsportsmanlike?

[@98756120able]

I love how Mr Miyagi gives him that look. OK Now Daiel-San you can lay the hammer down

[@brianthompson8949]

When this came out I was 11. Every weekend I would go see this at the dollar theatre in Amarillo Texas. Sometimes back to back. Saw it like 20 times in the theatre. I had a huge crush on Allie. Walking out of the theatre at the end are days I will always remember. CLASSIC movie.

[@safaith6502]

My favorite scene of any movie I have ever watched. I'm 45 & everytime I have watched this, probably 100 times, I always get out of my seat & jump up and down. I did it in the theater when I was about 6 years old & do it to this day!
