Watch Part 2. You'll get the resolution to Part 1 at the beginning of the movie. I used to work in the movie theater when Karate Kid Part 2 came out, and that beginning sequence had the audience roaring every time. Part 2 is such a great sequel. You guys should definitely check it out as soon as possible.
I was just going to say that. Part 2 is its very own emotional story, but the beginning of it is the after battle scene you were looking for.
sometimes I just like watching the beginning of 2 just to see that
You need 2 and 3 then you can start the Cobra Kai show. So good.
Yes!
Agreed loved 2
if you watch parts 2 and 3, you'll LOVE the Cobra Kai show....It's so fascinating seeing what happened to Johnny and Daniel when they became adults.
Cobra Kai is a tv show still airing about them 40 years later
And "Johnny" makes the show.......gotta love his character.
Johnny is the best.
As great this movie is, Cobra Kai just as good presenting the opposite side of the story as well as the impact on their adult lives so many years later. It is a great “Coming to terms” tale.
The show is absolutely ridiculous in all the right ways.
As a bullied kid, these movies resonated with me back in the day. The interesting thing is, once I started taking Karate, they all left me alone. And it wasn't because I was broadcasting that I was taking it or anything. In fact, I had always hoped that the next time they came up to me, I'd surprise them and fight back, but it never came to that. And that's when I learned what Karate is truly about. The only thing that changed was my confidence. I no longer looked like a victim, so they stayed away. Just as Daniel responds to Mr. Miyagi's question: "then why learn?" "So I don't have to fight". To answer your question, yeah, bullies really do gang up on you like that, because bullies are cowards. They never go one on one.
It's a good franchise. Will Smith's kid is actually in the 5th movie of the franchise, and it's actually about Kung Fu, not Karate. 1-3 follow Daniel, the 4th follows another character. The TV show, however, is excellent. Worth a watch if you decide to watch 1-3. The others aren't necessary, though I have a soft spot for the Kung Fu Kid, since that's what I study now.
Hardly the same franchise. Just a really hackneyed remake.
@@theradgegadgie6352 true
1 and 2 are great... but it falls off fast into bad after that. I don't even consider Jaden Smith's movie a part of the IP.
@@sandman_says_runrunner4701 I still liked 3, but yeah, it is the 3rd best of the movies. I also don't consider Jaden smith's the same franchise. Only mentioned it because he said he thought he was in the 2nd one. I still like it ok, but yeah, 1 and 2 are the best (in that order).
I had friend in highschool who knew karate, and that’s exactly what always stood out to me about him: He never advertised it, he never had to use it, he just oozed this indestructible confidence in situations that threatened to become violent - and so they never did. Of course he was just a mere mortal like the rest of us in all other aspects of life, but in those scary situations he was this low key super hero who just instantly cooled everything down just by being there. It was kind of incredible to witness actually.
The studio was really nervous about casting Pat Morita in the role of Mr Miagi. They weren't sure if the audience would accept a comedian as a mentor. He ended up providing guidance for an entire generation!
Pat Morita deserved an Oscar for his performance
@@neillenet291 come on!
@@neillenet291 He was robbed of that Best Supporting Actor Award. Pat Morita had the best performance hands down.
@@C2JPUNK35 Agreed
I know. I was one of them.
Noriyuki "Pat" Morita, who played Mr. Miyagi, earned a well-deserved Oscar nomination for Best Actor for his performance.
Karate Kid is the Rocky for teens. The moment Daniel realizes the chores he was doing was the training he needed was mindblowing to me as a kid. Of course from then on all parents tried that lesson but i dont know that many kids bought in to it lol.
I'm a 50 something year old woman and this was my childhood. I love all of the Karate Kid movies. Ralph macchio was my crush and I met him a few years ago at Niagara Comic Con. I've looked everywhere and not a single react has reacted to his movie The Outsiders. It is iconic!!! It stars Tom Howell , Ralph Macchio, Rob Lowe, Tom Cruise in his first ever movie roll and Patrick Swayze amoung other stars. Please give it a try.
I am 52 this year and,yes,these movies rock. Hope you enjoy the Cobra Kai series on Netflix as much as I do.
Yeah! Jay and amber should definitely watch The Outsiders. They are from Oklahoma as well.
Actually Taps was Tom Cruise first big movie roll a couple years before The Outsiders 😊
Yes Outsiders is a great movie. Idk why no one ever reacts to it.
If you decide to do the Outsiders make sure to bring a full box of tissues.
William Zabka (Johnny) at 18 was the only actual teenager in the main cast, Ralph Macchio (Daniel) was 22, Elizabeth Shue was 20 and the Cobra Kai guys were either 22 or 23.
I was about to comment the same thing lol
That’s funny cause Johnny definitely looks older than Daniel in this. It appears like “hey, why are you picking on that smaller kid”.
I'm the same age as William Zabka and I thought it was funny that J thought he looked older. Ralph just ages slowly. I remembered him from Eight is Enough, so I knew he was older. BTW William Zabka is a super nice guy if you ever get a chance to meet him in person.
@@bradparnell614 I’ve seen him in interviews and seems like a genuinely nice guy.
Ralph legit looks 40 years old these days.....and dude is in his 60s
"He probably grew up to be a real gem."
You have to watch Cobra Kai to find out how Daniel and Johnny turned out when they grew up.
Cobra Kai the Netflix show is a must watch. It's about Johhny and Daniel and their relationship as adults, each running their own dojo. I could never have imagined how different it was from what I expected, yet still amazing and compelling.
it's cheesy, but it's great cheese
I thought for sure they picked this because of CK. But they have no idea who Jonny is so i guess not…
@@greggreg7612 It's also better than all the KK movies.
…but first you have to watch all the originals!!!
I was hooked when Johnny btfo’ed kyler and his goons that first episode
Karate Kid is the Rocky movie for adolescence. Not a coincidence that Rocky 1 and the Karate Kid share the same director.
Now that you’ve heard two of the most iconic movie lines (“Wax on, wax off” and “You can’t handle the truth!”) in the last two movies you reviewed, you need to watch another movie, Crocodile Dundee, with an iconic line “That’s not a knife - this is a knife!” This will help further fill out your 70s/80s cultural awareness.
Lol... Yup...
You mean "knoife". 😆
"Sweep the Leg" is another one...as is "Code Red"
Yes definitely Crocodile Dundee . Love that part about the 🔪 ! 😂
When I was about 11 years old, my parents took me to see this 1984. Almost the next day. My mom took me down and signed me up for karate lessons. By the time I was 20 I had my first black belt and by the time I was 25 I had two or three different disciplines. I practiced and part time taught karate for over 30 years before stepping back due to some health related issues.
Respect
Cobra kai is about redemption. It's a must watch.
That's great. We're pretty much the same age...I never took karate. Wish I did. I was bullied as a kid much like Larusso. I did grow to a decent size guy and got some payback on my former bullies over the years, just in humiliating them, never laid any of them out. I never thought about how many kids this movie influenced to take up karate though.
Not just decorated, but that was a Congressional Medal of Honor. Most people who are recognized with that die in the action they are being recognized for.
I remember seeing this in the theatre when it first came out. Every single time at the end the entire audience works leap to their feet in applause for the last kick. I’ve never seen anything like that again in a movie theater. This is a phenomenal movie!!!
I remember the same, though I did see something similar in a theater one other time as well, when Doc Holiday kills Ringo on Tombstone.
Amber, about Johnny: "he probably grew up to be a real gem!" I am absolutely DELIGHTED at the prospect that you can now FIND OUT how he grew up! 🥰
And not only find out how he grew up, but get to understand through flashbacks what he was like before the first movie.
I love the way they revisit these characters and take them even deeper in the series, and it's real self aware and funny. A rare quality of show relative to it's original films.
I have practiced martial arts on and off for over 40 years. I remember seeing this movie when it came out like it was yesterday. It was one of the greatest examples of the true philosophy behind martial arts ever. I would strongly suggest you watch the rest of the series, and then do some reactions to the Netflix Cobra Kai series which is fantastic and picks up with the same characters played by the same actors. It's one of the best things on TV in a very very long time
Agree 💯
Miyagi telling Daniel "Always look eye" 31:55 isn't meant to say don't put yourself "beneath" someone else. It is sage advice about never taking your eyes off your opponent. Probably based on Bruce Lee's "Never take your eyes off your opponent. Even when you bow."
This made my night! Please do all the movies and you guys would love the cobra Kai show that comes after. You wouldn’t regret it!
Glad y'all liked it, I've loved this since I was a kid. Please don't forget about part 2 & 3 and there's also one called (The next karate kid) with Hillary Swank, and then of course the newest.
Then Cobra Kai!!
The remake is not considered part of the franchise as far as continuity goes, it's like an alternate version I guess. But as for Cobra Kai, at least, it's not part of the story.
@@ragabashmoon1551 Remake was great but should have been called Kung Fu Kid.
@@atwistoffate1052 Yes but Swank & Morita were great together. The parts at the monastery were fantsstic. In addition highly likely Swank will be in Season 6 Cobra Kai so should watch for that reason alone.Agree the villians ( and their story arc) were laughable and made no sense..Too bad because Michael.Ironside is a legendary actor but Col Dugan was a dud.
@@ragabashmoon1551it was almost part of the franchise
The scene with the monks in the monastery was originally going to be a scene where they meet Daniel
I worked at a movie theater during the summer of 1984 when this movie came out, and I must have seen the ending about 200 times and it was thrilling every time. A few years later I studied karate and Mr Miyagi's lessons on "balance" always stuck with me.
I also worked at a movie theater the year it came out. I would always sneak into the theater to watch the crane lick scene while working
I really like the perspectives that Mr. Myagi needs Daniel as much as Daniel needs him and that Daniel is like the son Mr. Myagi never had. Makes total sense!
William zabka who played Johnny Lawrence and Martin Kove who played Kreese are real sweeties in real life. This past weekend I got to see them at a fan event. I met Ralph this year and he was very nice.
Marty Kove is like the sage elder to them. We don't have Pat anymore. He's a great actor to so convincingly play such a hard ass but be one of the nicest guys IRL.
It's almost always the sweetest people in the world can play the best bad guys.
At secondary school in the late 80s, just before we'd finish up for the Xmas holidays the teachers would always show a movie in the assembly hall to the whole school. One year it was Karate Kid and you can just imagine the carnage at the end, with a whole bunch of pumped up teenage Bruce Lee / Jackie Chan wannabes being let out. Classic movie and great times.
One of my all time favorite films! You should definitely watch the sequels (not meaning the remake with Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan) as well. And then Cobra Kai!
I Just said that,lol. Cobra Kai is so good.😊
I would love to see them watch Cobra Kai.
I respect the fact that you restrain yourself from calling them bad names Jay that just shows what a good person you are
The Cobra Kai series has been a smashing success... it's fantastic with these same characters & their Children... a must watch whether you react to the series or not...
Best part of watching the Karate Kid series, is to definitely watch the new COBRA KAI Series! It's the best!! Same actors, too. All grown up & the storyline is amazing!
"Wax on. Wax off." Most famous and most repeated line from this movie. 😄
YES! YES, JAY! You DO want to see the Cobra Kai show! It's the best series continuation EVER! To see all the kids, now adults, played by the same actors, now with their own kids. It's an amazing series!
👍
Agreed. Highly recommended! Cobra Kai series on Netflix.
And I must say, that I loved how Johnny Lawrence wanted to present the championship trophy award to Daniel at the end. Why? Because I believe Johnny really had a guilty conscience about what he was instructed to do by his Sensei John Kreese.
Those Cobra Kai‘s bullied Daniel, jumped him, pushed him downhill, while riding a bike, embarrassed him, and even beat him to the point of unconsciousness. Then they were told to injure him & fight dirty in the tournament... And Daniel still won the match on one leg! Johnny had no other alternative but to respect Daniel at the end.
I love this movie! I also love how this movie convinced you that Daniel was only doing chores as opposed to gaining basic hand movements for his karate lessons! Ha, ha, ha! 😂 Mr, Miyagi has his ways! I enjoyed your reaction to this movie! I'm so glad you enjoyed the movie too! I enjoyed your reaction! ☮️ and 💕
"Put him in a body bag Johnny! hahhaa"
Best line of the movie
Hi Jay and Amber, a karate uniform is called a "Gi" (pronounced "Ghee"), short for Keigogi or Dogi in Japanese. The study hall where students are taught and practice their martial art is called a "Dojo"; which means "The place of the way".
Just some added info: in Chinese martial arts, the study hall is referred to as a "Kwoon" (pronounced "coon", as in the latter half of the word racoon). And the uniform is called "Saam".
When we watched this at the movie theater opening weekend, the whole room cheered when he threw down the crane kick! Great story of coming of age
Those were the days!
That look of pride on Mr.Miyagi’s face at the end always makes me cry.
Hey Amber and Jay, I had a really crappy day today. I won’t go into details, but I just wanted you both to know that you both cheered me up as you always do. I’m so happy you both loved this movie. Looking forward to seeing you watch the next THREE movies and, hopefully, someday get to “Cobra Kai”. Just know that I truly appreciate you both and send positive vibes to you and your families. 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Hope your day ..& onwards gets better!👍.. mine too. 🪃
✌️❤️
🇦🇺
next two movies? someone is forgetting the 4th movie. The Next Karate Kid with a female lead is a wonderful movie.
@@ccofnw the person said they've had a really crappy day,why the hell would you need to go there!!? To defend female actors🤔🤔
Some people😑😑
@@ccofnw Duly noted. Corrected. Ok?
@@sandgroperwookiee65 Thank you.
Hi guys. The story continues in #2. Just a bit of FYI. The uniform is called a Gi (rhymes with me) also san is a show of respect after anyones name, it is pronounced like on. A little more trivia The word karate is actually a combination of 2 words. Kara meaning empty, and te (pronounced like tay) meaning hand. karate = empty hand. Sort of like another word we all know, karaoke. Again, 2 words together. kara means empty, and oke represents a short form of the Japanese word for orchestra. These words are both made up of shortened versions of the actual Japanese words. So I believe ???? there is Karate Kid 1, 2 and 3. Then the one with a female karate kid, and finally the one with Will Smith's kid. I am not a big fan of remakes (most of the time). Like True Grit starring Jeff Bridges (who I like a lot as an acrtor) trying to play a role made famous by John Wayne fell flat for me. Same with the TV remake of the movie The Music Man. The remake starred Matthew Broderick and it was a dreadful performance. You guys should check out the original from 1962 (I think). Anyway jusy a little data dump for y'all. Loved your reaction as always. Have a great summer!!!!
No.... in fact there is a 2 and 3 but they are both with these two main actors. Then came the one with the girl no one counts that one. The one with Jaden Smith came later it is a similar theme but a different movie.... and it is also great!!!
The Will Smith version should not have even been called The Karate Kid. The martial art used was actually Kung Fu. They are quite different.
He didn't say, "Don't bow, look me in the eye." He said, "Look people in the eye when you bow to them."
80s soundtracks are unmatched. This was my favorite movie when I was a kid
The "wax on, wax off" and breathing were exercises for the body to strengthen the shoulder, arm and hand muscles while focusing on coordinating the muscles with the breath. Strength in martial arts starts inside.
"I need, like, AFTER STORY!" - You get in Karate Kid 2. It literally follows on from this moment at the tournament.
I studied karate for many years and this is by far my favourite film about the martial arts because it embodies what they are truly about. I would strongly recommend this film’s sequels Karate Kid 2 & 3. They’re both very good films that go deeper into the relationship between Mr. Miyagi and Daniel and reveal more about Mr. Miyagi’s past. After that go straight into the Netflix series Cobra Kai which picks up with the story and the characters 40+ years later and features the original cast at their current ages. It’s a great TV series and I’d love to see your reactions to it.
BTW, the “karate uniform” is called a Gi (pronounced “ghee”).
There is also the "new" karate kid with the girl learning from miagi . . . Who is kinda part 4 of the storyline (but not mentioned in Kobra kai cause its about miagi who is curently dead , Daniel san dont know about Julie San . . . Could be great if they find a way to introduce her in the show as a sensei of miagido or something . . . Julie do know about daniel cause miagi mention it so she could be the one to make contact for some reason
I saw this at the movie theater when I was 9. It was the first and last time I have been to a movie where the whole theater stood and applauded the movie at the end! It was like a buzzer beater in a basketball game! It was movies like this and Back to the Future they made me fall in love with the movie going experience! Unfortunately they don't make them like this anymore. 😔
Begs the question why? So many movies from the 80s and 90s had this magical quality to them. Movies today seem so artificial and heartless.
Back in the day, when the movies were better, and theaters were crowded. People actually sometimes clapped at good parts, boo at bad guys. This one would have been noisy at the end and ended in cheers. We ❤ movies like this one.
Mr. Miyagi is one of the most belived movie characters of all time. I love this movie and was so sad when Pat Morita died. Karate Kid II is worth a look. You will see Mr. Miyagi in a different light.
I highly recommend watching Cobra Kai TV show. It mixes modern with 80s. The show shows where Johnny & Daniel are 30 years later. You will absolutely fall in love with Johnny. He'll quickly become a favorite & you'll really root for him. The show is fantastic. Every season is good. It has all the original Karate Kid characters from the first 3 Karate Kid films. You won't regret it.
I agree. Johnny has become my favorite.
Im sure others have said already, but the one with Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan is a remake. A decent movie, but doesnt beat the original. Theres 2 or 3 other actual sequels that include Daniel :) definitely atleast watch part 2!!! Like others have said, it directly follows up with the ending of this one! Glad yall enjoyed! Also, yall still need to watch Back to the Future 3!!! Lol
These need to next up for you. No particular order:
1 - Braveheart
2- Gladiator
3 - Good Will Hunting
Three of my favorite movies and will all make great reactions.
Great reaction. And congrats to Amber for picking up on the Rocky vibe of this. Same director for both movies.
This movie had a huge impact on my life, it made me study different martial arts and it also helped me live in different countries of the world. I'm already planning on living in Japan next year and then other Asian countries this movie had an influence on it
And the healing technique used by Mr. Miagi is a real thing in Japanese culture, it's called "Reiki". I'm highly skeptical, but a lot of people swear by it
Elizabeth Shue was a really good soccer player. Her brother Andrew was also an actor and soccer player. He played with the L.A Galaxy while he was in Melrose Place.
Fun fact...Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita) played "Aah Choo" on the "Sanford and Son" show. Redd Foxx was a fellow comedian who also helped him buy his 1st home in California when he was short of $. Redd never asked for a penny in return.
So glad you got to see this! And I'm so tickled you didn't realize Mr. Miyagi was training him, you were legit getting OFFENDED.😂 Which is hilarious because I remember feeling that way a loooooong time ago.😂😂 I hope you watch part 2, it's great! The Jaden Smith remake was cool too
It's weird watching this movie now and remembering just how much we used to share in Daniel's frustration with Mr Miyagi's "training techniques" 😂
I was in middle school in California in 84 and yes in those days this is exactly how bullying was.
I was bullied and teased from kindergarten all the way through high school so this movie is very important to me! Thank you for reacting to it!
After this movie came out, almost every little boy in America enrolled in karate classes. If anyone knows of the actress that played “Donna “ in all the Cheech and Chong movies, Pat Morita was her real life husband.
LET'S GOOOOOO!!! 🔥
As good as this is, the second one as good or better!!! 🤩😍 And, it starts right where this one ended. 👍🏽
I concur
I agree. The second one in the series is even better, in both plot and action. I liked it a lot better than this first movie (even though this one is pretty decent too). The third one is even OK, but this one and the sequel are much better.
You said it... This was a story of a boy needing a father and a man needing a son...
You’ve got to keep watching the Karate Kid films if you want to see Kreese and Miyagi face off….twice.
It’s worth the wait! 😉
Love seeing you guys recognize songs in the movies from your music reactions.... Great synergy
Part 2 is an amazing sequel, worth the watch. 3, I feel, blows it just a bit by having Daniel get a big head, but it is necessary to the overall storyline. Next karate kid and the jaden smith one are best avoided, but cobra Kai is utterly worth the binge if you like the series. It makes such great use of the lore.
'Crane Kick' gives me chills every time I see it!
The best film with Ralph Macchio is "Crossroads" all about blues music and you guys would love it
One of most iconic movies ever. Wax on, wax off is used endlessly. Still one of my all time favs after all these years. Cobra Kai is a current TV show with them as grown ups.
The one with Will Smith's son is not the second movie of The Karate Kid. It's a remake of this one. The Karate Kid had 3 parts in the 80s, and now they have a series on Netflix called Cobra Kai.
The REASON I LOVE THE MOVIES and the show is because it teaches TRUE MARTIAL ARTS AS A PART OF EVERYDAY LIVING....
The Hard work that Miyagi puts into Daniel training is to build REPETITIOUS LEARNING doing everyday things... It requires one to think outside of the box in self defense.... All forms of martial arts are 99% IMPROVISED...
Please do Part 2 soon! It’s SO good!
41:17 lol, that cracked me up, you had it with the lovey dovey stuff.
Miyagi is actually in four films Karate Kid Parts 1-3 and The Next Karate Kid.
Then theres the Jaden Smith movie which is like a reboot/separate canon.
the realization that he had been teaching the basic moves for Karate the whole time was one of the biggest "aha" moments i've ever experienced in a movie...karate is more to Asian cultures than just a system of defense- it's an extension of their lives...
I love 1 & 2 so much! 2 starts immediately where 1 finished.
I was 16 when this came out - saw it at the cinema. Whole place went nuts when Daniel did the crane!! ❤
@@JenSell1626 You should watch it all then watch the Reaction when they do it - if you love the 1st one, I promise you you’ll the 2nd!
@@JenSell1626 I’m definitely going to start watching Cobra Kai! Please do watch KK2 all the way through as I’d love to know what you think. It starts where the last one finishes!
You ABSOLUTELY have to watch "Cobra Kai!" Didn't think I would like it having watched the original Karate Kid in the movies as a kid but, it is surprisingly entertaining.
Another great relationship movie between younger and older generations is Second Hand Lion’s with Haley Joel Osment, Robert Duvall and Michael Cain. Fantastic flick!
"if they ride in on a dirt bike and leather jacket, that's trouble in the 80's" Most perfect quote ever 42:52 Nailed it if you haven't seen the series Cobra Kai yet
It's actually amazing. I may have never gone cross-country proper, but my family once went from Chicago, to the Dakotas, into Northern Wyoming, up into Montana and back again. And from Chicago to Albuquerque when we moved here. It's AMAZING. And I recommend The Next Karate Kid as well.
Loved the reactions…Amber I was in my late 40s when I learned to drive stick. My mom and stepdad lived in nichols hills Oklahoma for 20+years and I learned to drive stick there and drove a new truck back to Saskatchewan by myself. It’s easy…have confidence in yourself!! 🖖🏻🇨🇦
I don't know if you caught it, but after Bobby injured Daniel, he said something like "I didn't mean to do it! I'm sorry!"
That's not cool man. Let them find out for themselves. No spoilers.
@@impishsongster333 This video aired 17 hours ago, and I wrote my comment 14 hours ago. so I do believe by the time I wrote my comment, they had already watched the movie. And the reason I said that is because they didn't say anything about it, and it's easy to miss because there was a lot of noise in the movie going on at the same time.
So, what, exactly am I spoiling?
@@j.woodbury412 Lol. Has nothing to do with the movie they just watched. Lol
You dropped spoilers about Kreese & the beginning of Karate Kid II.
Why did you feel the need to say ANYTHING about KKII?
Let them find out for themselves.
@@impishsongster333 Lol Oh okay.
@@j.woodbury412 👍🏼 @ deleting the spoiler.
Fun fact: Ralph Macchio was 45 years old when he played this role.
Great movie. Y'all need to understand mom. She Italian, from Jersey and Old School. I enjoy watching with you two. Smiles!
I had no idea that the karate kid and Happy Gilmore's grandmother once lived in the same apartment complex.
Thank you for reacting to The Karate Kid. I love this movie. One of my favorites from the 80's. This is the kind of movie kids today should watch. I think it instills very positive messages about self esteem and rising above adversity.
There have a total of 3 karate kid movies with Ralph Macchio. One with Hilary Swank. And a remake/reimaging with Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith.
Plus a a very popular tv series Cobra Kai with Ralph Macchio and William Zabka (Johnny)
The director of this movie John G Avildsen also directed the first Rocky movie. Which was why this movie seems like a rocky influence.
The producers had to get special permission to use The Karate Kid from DC Comics since there was a comic book hero of the same name.
The second movie (Part II) is a favorite of mine as it deves into Mr Miyagi past by going to Okinawa
Jay with the line of the video “ok let’s get to the tournament!”
The yellow car is a 1947 Ford Super Deluxe. Another less know Ralph Macchio movie is 'Crossroads'. A movie with some good music in it as well.
Saw this movie when I was a kid miaggi a legend RIP
Am I the only one who noticed that Daniel lied to Mr. Miagi in the birthday scene? Daniel said he had to go home to his mom and that she had a cake and everything. In fact, it was supposed to be a surprise. But where did Daniel go instead? To the arcade to look for Allie.
To quote a Google search: "The most likely explanation for the Japanese karate master's healing hands is that he used Reiki to temporarily make Daniel's leg feel better. Reiki is an ancient Japanese healing practice that was inspired by the necessity of warriors to be able to heal their comrades on the battlefield."
The actor who plays Johnny also played a mean bully in the 80’s movie “Just One of the Guys”. The dark side of growing up in the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, was that bullying was something that constantly went on - the philosophy was very Darwinian, only the strong are supposed to survive so that a certain level of bullying on weaker kids was often acceptable whether it was from our peers or from gym teachers/coaches, academic teachers, or other authority figures, sometimes even in the home. They believed that it toughened kids up for what they’d have to deal with in the harsh real world, especially since the boys were going to have to fight in future wars like their fathers had in their younger days. It was awful if you had a learning or physical disability or just didn’t fit in for socio-economic, race or sexuality/gender issues. The bullies knew you were different, & you had a target on your back. Thankfully, views have changed. I’ve noticed that since we no longer have the mandatory draft, the views of raising kids to be so tough have lessened, & we have seen the horrible long term effects of what bullying can do to kids. But obviously there are some pockets of these beliefs still lingering in this country. I see a wonderful level of compassion in the 2 of you, your students are truly blessed w/positive role models as their teachers.
the story continues in karate kid 2! it starts off right where karate kid leaves off. highly recommend !
Rocky/Mick and Miyagi/Daniel are 2 of the best mentor relationships in movies
Not to spoil anything about moving forward, but "No such thing as bad student, only bad teacher" is practically the overall moral of the story. Even in Cobra Kai the series. Basically among other people John Kreese is a thoroughly damaged and damaging human being. And he creates his own problems time and time again.
Great reaction guys I can't wait for you to check out parts 2 & 3 R.I.P Pat Marita aka Mr Miyagi❤
Part 2 starts with the ending you wanted! Its literally starts with them walking out of the tournament. Its a direct continuation.....you HAVE to see what all happens when they are leaving!
Fun fact, Ralph Macchio owns that yellow convertible in real life
Yes, the beginning of Part 2 is awesome! Mr. Miyagi teaches another lesson.
My favorite movie of all time. You can not watch the Cobra Kai series until you watch all KK movies. Kirate Kid 2 is such a great and beautiful sequel. Please let me know when yall watch it, I would love to watch it with yall.
I love seeing people's faces when they realize Daniel was being trained without him knowing it
Pat Morita (Mr Miyagi) also played Ah Chew on Sanford & Son, and Arnold on Happy Days =)
