[@greghartman5895]

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]

@@coomingnotgoing904 Just because it's allowed doesn't mean it's morally right. I think Johnny realized in that moment that he wanted to win in a fair fight and didn't like fighting dirty

[@coomingnotgoing904]

@@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. Johnny wasn’t fighting dirty until the elbow on the second to last clash. Gotta remember, this is basically a sport, and competitors exploit their opponents weaknesses all the time in any sport.

[@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.

@@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.

Still, even after listening to a real martial artist explain it, this is still just such a great scene in film history.

[@MorganKing95]

It's not that much of a plot hole when you take into account the amount of time that has passed. At this point, they're on equal level, and Johnny is still at the peak of his life despite the loss. By the time Cobra Kai takes place however, he's been choked by Kreese, has had a turbulent relationship with Shannon, lost his mother (which affects his relationship with both Shannon and Robby), lost his privileged life, has a dead-end job, and hit the midlife crisis. Meanwhile, Daniel's life is pretty much the opposite. It therefore makes sense that he would become jealous and bitter towards Daniel, who was also never his friend, but rival If the second movie opened with Johnny being a sore loser however, then I would agree with your statement

o really? nobody noticed it!! )))))

[@jazzyplayer9218]

Oh that’s totally not obvious 😂

[@ahmedalzahaby]

i can't believe there are people who hate on the remake for this ... I can understand how good it might have been for its time and the remake definitely didn't disappoint !

[@MorganKing95]

If only the editing and cinematography in the remake didn't look like a strobe concert

[@charlieterentino1918]

I like how Tommy was just going crazy in the background

[@wedgeantilles4712]

Wauw, William Zabka really sold that kick to the face. And props to Johnny after the match.

[@omerbar7518]

The music is what makes this scene legendary

[@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.

[@jacobwise2015]

Mr. Miyagis face at 3:36 is how I feel last period at school on a friday

[@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.

[@johnnylawrence4127]

whos here after the cobra kai season 3 teaser!

[@aleddavies770]

Cobra Kai is utter crap. The pure acting magic is lost

[@giraffeman326]

3:54 greatest face ever

[@gingerjr7010]

Yea honestly

[@MrArcadia2009]

Truly.

[@usannbara]

ラストシーンがダニエルさんの顔ではなくミヤギさんのアップで終わるのが素晴らしい。

[@shreejeetnandi687]

I am here after LaRusso did the Crane kick on Silver in Season 5 Cobra Kai, well worth the wait

[@paulmbugua125]

The real Karate Kid...this movie brings back sweet childhood memories

[@KoRnBaL19]

Happy Birthday Ralph Macchio! The month of the Scorpio!!! Now I know why on a deeper level, why these films meant so much. We are of the same stinger.🦂

[@corvetcoyote443]

Love how Johnny showed good sportsmanship in the end.

[@preving]

One of the most exciting finales in motion picture history. I get goosebumps when Ali hugs Daniel

[@dariosandoval5140]

Yeah, every time I see her running to hug Daniel I think he is the luckiest man on earth!

[@67LOCsiNYC]

The original craine kick from the 80's movie was so hard they changed it,the injured leg stays up and the kick is performed using the leg being stood on ,the stunt guy only did it once so they changed

[@1997lordofdoom]

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

[@lispotomus7438]

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.

[@oisin1980]

That nod of approval from Mr. Miyagi... made this scene deadlier than the smell of napalm in the morning

[@moneysandhu4183]

Brings a tear to my eyes this , awesome scene and film .

[@ShuangLongKung-Fu]

One of the best movies ever!

[@sugoidekaikimochi]

I've been trying to imitate this for the sole purpose of getting back at my childhood bullies

[@savbjelic8660]

Daniel:Mr Muyagi, you really are the master of kung fu and karate. Bruce lee:Hold my beer.

[@scorp7133]

0:36 That sounded brutal

[@borgermax1028]

0:34

[@TheJohnCooperShow]

Nice callback with Daniel’s 2nd point… as that was the way mr miyaghi takes Daniel down when he tries doing the Muhammad Ali foot shuffle

[@unnamedgamer7838]

Tommy: GET HIM A BODY BAG! YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH! 34 years later: How the tables have turned

[@wandapetronski8049]

🙀

[@Irowthe1x]

I’ve probably watched that scene a hundred times. Awesome.

[@SpeciesUnknown]

That smile Pat Morita has at the end is priceless 💚💚✨

[@Nnnnthh]

John Lawrence is kaka

[@xdikasx2369]

Johnny: Did you just kick me in the face? Daniel: Yeah so? Johnny: That's against the rules, isn't it? Daniel: Screw the rules, I'm standing on one leg!

[@yoursthely2786]

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?

[@madness0169]

Did anyone kind of ever realize this? The Karate Kid (1984) - Mind The Karate Kid Part II (1986) - Body The Karate Kid Part III (1989) - Spirit

[@SherrieLujan]

Get Him a Bodybag!!😂

[@vlogswgreta]

3:28 I always laugh at this part, look at johnny

[@danieltalavera9847]

This scene is pure gold and will always be
