The Karate Kid FILMING LOCATIONS Then and Now

- In this video you will see some of the movie locations used for the 1984 coming-of-age classic. Starting with the apartment building Daniel and his mother move to in Reseda, Ca. This is also where Mr Miyagi had his office and saved his soon to be student from the Cobra Kai. Leo Carrillo Beach will be on display, where the beach bbq and first fight over Ali took place. The school will be up next, a place seen multiple times throughout the film. Then the Mills House located in Encino, Ca will be seen. I didn't get to all the locations for this one but I couldn't miss Golf N' Stuff, where they have their first date. The dojo will be seen briefly as well. This tour will wrap up with the All Valley Under 18 Tournament location, at Cal State University, Northridge. Stay tuned to the end of this video for a scene from The Karate Kid Part 2. I plan on making a complete video for the 40th Anniversary in 2024. Enjoy

The footage in this video is now over a year old, and was not filmed with my 4K camera. I tried to salvage it the best I could to make it a good viewing experience. I plan on doing a complete tour in the future.
This is great, man, no worries. Best Karate Kid location video ever.
@@jd0604 Good point lol.. Thanks a lot
@@ksavage681 Greatly appreciated!
Bro who gives a damn what u filmed this footage on or when u did. For a Karate Kid Junkie like me this is AMAZING!!!!! #salute
@@davonjackson240 Thanks a lot!
That was one of the best KK filming location documentaries I’ve ever seen. The double shot moments were extraordinary and well done.
Thanks a lot, greatly appreciated.
Just came here to say the same thing! Awesome! You managed to “line up” each shot at just about the same exact angle! How did you do that? Must have been difficult! Thanks for posting this!
Brilliant. Growing up in Scotland, California looked like a different planet. Seeing the locations now brings on nostalgia tingles.
I can imagine... I’m sure I’ll get to your homeland one day. I’ve heard it’s a sight to see. Glad it brought back those good feelings bud, thanks a lot!
I remember watching back in the day "two movies for the price of one" ...The Karate Kid and Back to the Future. U're my hero for tonight bringing back some great 80's memories.
Haha I’m flattered. .. You brought it back for me with that two for one as well. Glad this took you back to the ...past lol. Btw My two favorite movies. Thanks a lot!
Great work I always wanted to go and do a location video for karate kid I went there a long time ago when the field was still empty good job
Thanks a lot German.. I was also there when it was still the empty field lol, shocker. I love it
The best filming locations on TH-cam. So detailed, the way you layer the movie clips with the current location. It makes it so easy to see it
Many thanks!!!
I rewatched the whole trilogy before I just started binge watching Cobra Kai and I LOVE it! I was 13 when The Karate Kid came out and I’m blown away at the depth of the fan-love. This video is amazing!!! Thank you for posting this! Looking forward to more like this. Fan from Toronto, Canada
I’m a big fan of Cobra Kai myself! I binged shortly after shooting these locations. So cool... Glad you enjoyed the video. I really appreciate it!!
You’re welcome! I haven’t been to an LA-area beach since.......1985. I can’t believe the film is almost 40 😩. Carillo Beach coast looks beautiful and knowing that’s where 2 of the most important scenes were filmed, I hope to visit there too when we can travel again. ..I don’t blame you for not wanting to leave! God I hope they find a way to feature it again on Cobra Kai ❤️
I’ve seen other Karate Kid filming location videos and yours is empty hands down the best! The angles and attention to detail took us right inside the movie. Stellar work man!
Wow! Thanks a lot for that awesome compliment, and I see what you did there with “empty hands”... Nicely done!!
You got the best videos around, they won't keep your subscribers down 😉
Hahaha Thanks a lot!
Always welcome lol 🙂
Great job, how nostalgic. Karate Kid marked our childhood. Thanks from Argentina
Aguanta karate kid y el rojo jaja terrible laburo hizo. saludos
The high school literally looks like it’s been in frozen in time... Wow.
It is pretty amazing.
I’m a sucker for 80s nostalgia. Great video!! Amazing work!
Same here lol.. thanks a lot!
Best one I’ve seen! Absolutely awesome detailed video of my favourite ever movie
What an AMAZING job Nick!!! Your work just keeps getting better and better! It's incredible how detailed your locations are! They are right on the money! Such a great tour Nick! So glad you took us along!!! Stay safe out there our friend! :)
Thanks a lot my friends!! I'm happy to hear you are enjoying them!! Please do the same!
This movie never gets old.
Great work, Nick!
Agreed.
Thanks!
Yes, indeed, its such an awesome film. Whenever I feel isolated, I rewatch this movie and just makes me feel happy at the end. This is a classic movie that everybody should watch. I've seen this movie countless times and just never gets old.
You did a great job! Loved how you showed all the right angles, past and present! Well done!
Thanks a lot Jeffrey!
Dude this is probably one of the best on location footage I have seen man. I love how you compared the movie to today in top/bottom pictures etc., very very good. I am seriously impressed and tyvm for putting this out there so we can watch this. Thumbs up all day.
That’s great to hear, thanks a lot!
As I’m sitting here literally wearing my MR. Miyagi tee shirt, I’m in awe over this one! You nailed it from start to finish. I’m blown away that you found his locker half way thru! Still the same dang color and all! What a moment my friend! All I gotta say is “Your the best around” 🎶🎤.... Stay well, stay cool 😎
Thanks a lot my classy friend! I’ve been so busy but I got some news for you. I’m currently at the woods hole terminal in Massachusetts. Waiting to take the ferry to Martha’s Vineyard. I can’t wait 🦈
@@NickP absolutely beautiful area your going too. My friend, you enjoy yourself fully... Cheers 🥂
@@MickeyNixonFilms Thanks again my dude, greatly appreciated!!
Wow alot of stuff stil around structure wise but change into something else with age of course lockers still even thier wow and the arcade place such 80s style memories here nice bonus feature so to speak at the end here of part 2
Thanks a lot Nathan!
"Karate Kid" is one of the best films. Thank you for your sharing. From Turkey with Love :) ..
Definitely.. Thank you!
LOVE how you line up the shots. Great editing man. Thank you
Thanks a lot!
Amazing seeing these locations from before I was even born. I remember watching the movie when I was about 10 years old not realizing it was already a 12-year-old movie.
That was perfect. Makes the hair on your back stand. I was in highschool when this was on the big screen. 80's definitely rocked. Awesome job! Funny the word "Awesome" is from.the 80's, still used today...lol
Hey, thanks a lot for the awesome feedback! The 80s were very special... And that is awesome lol.....Totally!...LOL
@@NickP Totally Dude!!
@@GucciGambino1967 LOL
Great job man! This has been a location I’ve wanted to do myself for awhile. Next time I’m in SoCal and have the time I plan to do it too.
You should! I'm planning to redo in full for the 40th. Thanks a lot bud!
Love it. Great job. Love your enthusiasm and nostalgia for these iconic films.
Thanks a lot!
Such a classic! This video was a treat man! Wax on wax off!!
MILONE! lol Thanks a lot bud!
i love filming locations
perfect sharing, I got back to my childhood. Everything is almost the same and this is incredibly beautiful. Loves from Turkey
Thanks a lot!!
Excellent work. You just gained a subscriber.
Thanks a lot Dave!
Your appreciation for detail is UNPRECEDENTED. This is a true interpretation. Thanks, my dude. This is great!
Thanks so much, great to hear!
What a great video! This is by far the best Karate Kid filming locations I have ever seen, and there are some good ones out there. Great job!
What an awesome comment, thanks so much!
If you can make a sequel to "Karate Kid Part II" in Hawaii, then your a Legend.
Haha thanks a lot! I’ll get there one day.
Awesome filming locations video! Please do karate kid part 2 and 3 filming locations soon
Thanks a lot bud! I will eventually get to them.
This was terrific. The 5th Cobra Kai is Jimmy, and he does have a line in the film, but it’s said pretty much off camera in the intro scene of them on their bikes just before they ride down to the beach and approach Ali and Daniel. He says - “I thought they broke up.”
Thanks a lot Matt!
I’ve been to the south seas and golf n stuff but you have done an amazing job re creating the movie! Brought back the nostalgia watching this brought tears to my eyes as like you I’m a huge fan of the karate kid thank you for doing this and sharing! This summer I’m going to take it step-by-step like you did! Love it
That’s great to hear Steve, and I really appreciate the thoughtful feedback.
my favorite movie from my childhood what memories I always wanted to go to see that memorable place
Thank you. I love these movies so much to this day, and this video was so amazingly well done.
Thank you so much!

My pleasure, thank you.
Well done again, Nick. Excellent stuff. You're the best at these location finds.
Good luck to you.
Wow, thanks!
"Winner!" .... chills every damn time.
Your format for then and now is the best.
I really appreciate it.

Very well done and very rare compared to all the other Karate Kid film location videos.
You showed us much more than anyone else.
I really appreciate it!
Excelente video .!!!! Creo que es el.mejor que he visto con respecto a las locaciones de Karate Kid 1984. Pelicula que he visto cientos de veces y no me canso de verla . Gracias !!!!!

I've saw the filming locations of the karate kid here and there but this is the best I've seen really detailed well done thanks for this I really enjoyed it 👍🌴 from Carl in Tipton England
Wow, thanks a lot!
@@NickP your very welcome 👍
A+ on finding the locations and matching them up with the film, but C for narrative.. you are a man of few words, and a little more information and backstory on what we were looking at would be appreciated. Overall, great job. Never seen anyone match up locations like you.
Greatly appreciate the feedback. My explanations could def use some improvement. Thanks again!
Awesome video love the side by side shots. Alot better then other channels that have done the same location
Thanks so much!
Wow, really well done! Nailed every detail 👌
Thanks a lot!
very detailed thanks for doing this for all the fans!
Always get chills at the Crane kick!😊🤘
Likewise! From when Pat Johnson says ready… chills!!
@@NickP Absolutely!💯
I was surprised that Daniel didn't do it on Mike Barnes in the third movie.
fantastic job, dude! perfect line ups too..thanx a bunch
I really appreciate that, thanks a lot!
Awesome vid 👍 great.split scenes , big thanks mate from New Zealand 💯🤙😎
Greatly appreciated!
Wax on Wax off Nick! Sorry I somehow missed this but watching now. Keep Spinning and Winning...Cheers
No worries my good man, been super busy. Keep ‘em spinning!

My pleasure, thank you!
Great job as always Nick 👏👏👏
Thanks a lot!
Another hit video Nick, excellent i think you totally could be a cinematographer
Thanks a lot Jack! Mighty nice of you to say.
Just watched your other video on Goonies. Great work again. Subscribed.
That’s great, thanks a lot.
AMAZING JOB
Thanks a lot!
You do an incredible job in these videos. Hope your follower count eventually reflects that but I'm sure that's not why you do this. Keep up the great work.
I really appreciate it!
I like how you put the actual footage in with urs. Alot of people who do filming locations don't. Great work bro. Sub'd
Thanks a lot! Yeah, it makes it a lot more interesting.
@@NickP most def and you actually get to actually compare the "then and now" instead of trying to remember. That would be a dream job to just travel around to where old movies were made. I want to have a wall of photos of me at the place with the old photo above it. Last year I got to go to the home alone house and the breakfast club school. Keep up the awesome work bro
@@joshinbama83 That’s an awesome idea!! Thanks again, will do! I will have some new stuff up pretty soon.
excellent bro really enojyed these well done very emotional thanks for doing this for us all
Many thanks!
Outstanding video, mate ❤️🙏🏻
Thanks a lot!
That was cool man love your videos huge fan from new Zealand keep them coming
Thanks! Will do! I believe this is my first comment from New Zealand, awesome.
Great job with the locations in context.
Thanks a lot!
It gives you a feel for numerous locations and camera placements .This was a well done film and made great use of local landmarks . The casting made this story forever a once in a generation classic. Thank you for a great look back.
Agreed.. A very well casted, placed and told story. A genuine classic. I really enjoy Cobra Kai as well.
My pleasure, glad to hear your appreciation for it. Thanks a lot!
Great stuff man.
Hey Nick just wanted to congratulate you on a really nice Chanel and content, very entertaining 👍
Thanks a lot!
I love the way u do the location match ups
Thanks a lot
Wow! This is seriously the number 1 video ever made on YT! I can go on for hours how much fun the late 70's and 80's were.... Music, film wise! Defenitely subscribed!!! Looking already forward to watch the rest of your content. Great filming and editing too!!!
Thanks so much!!!
Great job, amazing ! Greetings from Argentina !🇦🇷
Many thanks!
Your location vids are some of the best on TH-cam. The attention to detail on your then and now comparisons is spot on. Your channel and Grimm Life Collective channel are the best location vids by far. Awesome work.
I really appreciate that, very kind of you to say. It’s awesome that you’re enjoying the videos!
This is so awesome. Thanks for taking the time to do this mate!
Awesome video bud!, My childhood fav movie!👍
Thanks a lot Jeff! Yeah, def a top 3 fav for me too.
@@NickP These locations are on my bucket list for one day!, Nice you were able to visit them, so cool!👍😎, I am pretty far, I live in cold 🇨🇦, LOL!
@@jefflemieux2814 Lol Nice.. I have a few bucket listers to visit in your country as well!! I’m hope you get there one day!!
@@NickP Good for you pal!, So do I!😎
@@NickP There are alot of beautiful places in 🇨🇦, especially in the mountains on the west coast!
Awesome great work as usual 👏 👍 😀
Thanks a lot my BROTHER! You should come for the future visit. Malibu is something to see.. I was dumbstruck by its beauty and lost my bearings but so be it lolll. I know where everything is now.. BTW The south side, where I was for the bbq and fight scene is right next to where they filmed Point Break.
Great job. I really enjoy your blending of the scenes. Steve McQueen’s son should definitely show up in the Cobra Kai series.
That would be cool. Thanks a lot!
From what I read he was too busy with racing cars but possibly in Season 4
This is amazing work I love your comentary and you tell each scene just like the movie 🎥🍿 great video as always.. especially the scene by scene comparison 👍🏼
Thanks a lot my dude!! How’s everything going?
New to your channel after watching the Goonies one…. Another fantastic video dude
Awesome how you found my channel and are enjoying the videos.
Thanks a lot.
Another great video, I appreciate the time and effort. What a fantastic way you spend your time. Thanks again.
Thanks a lot Ethan!
Awesome video!! Very well done... I really enjoyed watching. I live in New Jersey, and last summer, I was able find and visit the location of the opening scene , where Daniel and his mom are pulling away in the car from there old home, while the children are chasing them
Yes, Harrison next to Newark. I was there once. I’m going to another Karate Kid video in the future with every location. Even the road trip spots.
Thanks a lot!
That's great...I look forward to the next video..
I love this movie
Great detailed comparison video great job I like when there done this way
Awesome, thank you!
Dude, that was awesome! Hugs from a Brazilian fan of the Karate Kid! This movie is a hit here to this day! Pure nostalgia and wonderful work! 👏👊😁
Gotta love it!
Thanks so much, I’ve received a lot of great comments from your country!
The LEGEND delivers yet again, I'm currently watching cobra Kai so this is excellent timing my friend
Thanks a lot my friend, you are too kind!! And I love that Cobra Kai, very well done. I can't remember the last time I was so invested in the main charters of a tv show.
@@NickP best show on Netflix for me mate, I can't believe I like Johnny more than Daniel these days
@@richardevans7035 Hahaha agreed. It was a stroke of genius how they humanized Johnny for the show, and his flaws are pure entertainment.
Great video. A lot of work to put something together like this
Thanks a lot
Another great video.
Thanks a lot!
Only Miyagi's new house is missing, the one where Miyagi says remove the wax, put the wax .... apart from this,fantastic work as always Nick ... you`re the best ;-)
I know lol
I need to visit the location… I will do a more complete video in the future.
The house is no longer there unfortunately.
Thanks a lot!
Nick that was incredible. Thanks so much
Thank you!
Great Great line ups!!!!
Thanks a lot
Very, very good video, greetings from Veracruz México
Thank you Jose.. I’d like to visit your area in the future!
