Watch KK 2 and 3 then start watching cobra kai series which is amazing
Johnny saying “your alright Larusso” was already built up when Johnny doubted his teacher. On top of that we know he didn’t want to fight dirty and even when he did, he still lost. That can definitely gain someone’s respect, so I wouldn’t necessarily say him respecting Daniel is out of character. Also karate kid 2 answers some of your questions towards the end
Part Two delves much deeper into Mr. Miyagi's past.
Pat Morita is actually from California, you can see him as Arnold on Happy Days, and on Sanford and Son without an accent.
This movie always brings me back to my AA sponsor and the tough time I had getting sober. My sponsor was a very spiritual man and would say things such as Mr. Miyagi said to Daniel about the Bonsai tree. When Daniel asks him if his vision of trimming the Banzai tree is the right one, Mr. Miyagi responds saying "If come from inside you, always right one." It gets me every time. It's the life lessons in this movie that have always made it very special to me.
This is my first time seeing one of your videos and the "We added the 'You can catch these'" joke won me over.
🤣 Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel!!
The sequence going from Miyagi's sad anniversary to Daniel training alone on the beach is beautifully constructed classical film styling. Ralph Macchio said himself that transition makes him cry.
Ralph has the yellow car he got it while filming the 3rd movie and still has it
Cobra Kai is the a must watch really....the second karate kid and third are better but third struggled a bit....but should watch those if you're gonna watch Cobra Kai
Nariyoshi was fighting for the USA in the war, while his wife and baby died to poor health in a Japanese-American internment camp.
Devastating little piece of character in the middle of a relatively much more light hearted movie.
It breaks my heart every time. 😢
Did you know if you watch the behind the scenes they wanted to remove that scene?
That would've ruined the movie - if you noticed that's when Daniel changed his attitude so the scene makes a huge difference
When I was growing up, this movie made everyone karate crazy! Me? I don't know karate, but I know ka-razie!
😂 😂 🥋
So glad that you were able to get this one re-uploaded. Even though I was able to catch it the first time before it was taken down, I'm giving this a re-watch. 😊
RIP always to Pat Morita(Mr. Miyagi)!!!
I grew up with this movie in the 80s. And I still love it to this day. And it's got one of the best movie soundtracks.
Fun Fact: Ralph Macchio(Daniel) got to keep the yellow car from this movie. And he still has it.
The remaining two movies in the trilogy(The Karate Kid Parts 2 and 3) are definitely worth watching. And the Netflix follow-up series "Cobra Kai" is also a must-watch after Part 3.
Looking forward to your next reaction. 😊
I was so upset watching that remake with that guy from the cop buddy films and Wil grahams son. I even wrote my local congresswoman to have it removed from the library of congress.
Awww love these movies so much, and when Cobra Kai came out, all these nostalgic feelings flooded me again😌😌
I took karate lessons for a couple years in the early 2000's, and my dad recorded this movie on a VHS tape for me when I was a literal karate kid! Love this movie and l love your reaction to it, Nia! I hope you watch the sequels too!
Daniel's "friends" at the beach also are the ones that hoist him up at the end of the tournament.
Here are three tidbits: Pat Morita (RIP) didn't know Karate; he was a comedian on "Saturday Night Live", before becoming "Mr. Miyagi". Ralph Macchio (Daniel) received the yellow car after shooting had ended as a gift from the production. and the referee from the championship was both everybody's Karate teacher and bonus - He was Bruce Lee's (RIP) student.
27:40 that's the scene that won him the Oscar in 1985.
YOU LEARN BEST WHEN YOU DON'T REALIZE YOU'RE LEARNING.
36:44 The young man going against Johnny is actually a real life Kenpo Grand Master Daryl Vidal! 🙏🏽💪
ベストキッドは日本でも人気で90年代にはテレビで放送されていました。97年にテレビ放送でベストキッド3を見てからミヤギさんとダニエルの旅は私にとって一番大切な物語となりました。そしてアメリカ在住の日系人の方達の歴史はこの映画から学びました。この映画には心と温かさがあります。本当に本当に素晴しい映画です。
Ralph macchio was 22 when this came out and 23 that November
I knew him at the time from a show 'Eight Is Enough.' Then 'Outsiders.' Ralph was a really underrated up and coming actor pre-Karate Kid. He looked 22 for twenty more years.
@@pablosonic892 he did
When the 3 actors waalk to ring 3 there was a real tournament going on when the camera raises up it's pretty awesome info
Ralph Macchio is such a good actor. An underrated movie with him you might want to check out is “Crossroads”.
First time watching your channel. It's clear you understand Japanese so I appreciate that. Like when Mr. Miyagi said "yooshi" and "kono ko wa". The scene about Miyagi's family, I think the common explanation is that his family was in internment camp so when there were complications during labor, then there was no doctor around to attend to them. Regarding the ending, I think many folks aren't used to the way this movie ended... pretty similar to how the early Rocky movies end. But I think it's fine. I think the abrupt ending way is fine as you're done telling the story and there's really no need to drag out the movie for the sake of closure or after story.
He wasn’t sleeping he was meditating
Despite his numerous faults, Johnny is passionate and serious about martial arts. Miyagi was 💯 when he said make good fight win respect and then no one bother.
‘Karate Kid 2’ Picks Up Where This Movie Ends.
Karate kid 2 will be up in the next week or so!
The Karate Kid franchise is definltely worth watching if you are going to see the series 'Cobra Kai' cause if you do not, you will miss alot of references used from the Karate Kid movies in the series.
Many noticed the abrupt endng to the movie of the Karate Kid but editing had the idea of what was to be the ending of Karate Kid to be placed in the beginning of Karate Kid 2 instead. Nia, you'd noticed Mr. Miyagi's background in this movie; you will enjoy the sequel as the movie focuses more on Mr. Miyagi's origin.
I don't think I can watch this movie again but I can certainly watch it just because of you!!!!!!!
When I was in the Marine Corps in Okinawa, Japan, six months and every year and one of our step surgeons was a master of Ishun-Ru (Okinawa karate), and he always told us that and karate is more about muscle memory and repetition. That is what he’s teaching him.
Oh interesting, wax on wax off indeed
40:20 Now this, puts a smile on my face 😌
PLEASE Do Karate Kid 2 & 3 and then of course the TV show. "Cobra Kai" It's a continuation 30some years later and it's a delightful fun show!
I actually took karate (shudokan) when I was young. We lived on a farm in the Midwest so it's kind of surprising they even had classes like that in that area. My brother was already in it, & he encouraged me to take it. I think he was worried because he was close to graduating high school and I was a pretty small kid. I was only in it for the year before he went to college, but I made it to a yellow belt.
Anyways, I was only ever in one fight, and I actually used what I'd learned. I was visiting my cousins and they had a bully who was going to beat up one of my cousins. Naturally my cousin told him he'd better not try it because I knew karate (thanks for dragging me into it). The bully had about 6" on me, but he was stocky & I was a rail back then. The bully went to punch me, I moved to the side and threw a roundhouse kick (the only one I was really good at) that caught him in the face & he ended up running off.
A couple years later I had to switch schools & ended up going to my cousin's school. The first day there, I saw the bully who it turned out was in my class. His first words were "Well if it isn't the karate kid". He never messed with me since that fight & we ended up being pretty good friends.
9:22 The Legend himself! 🙏🏽💪
Pat Johnson who plays the ref was a highly respected martial artist and fight choreographer he trained all the non martial artists karate which was tang soo do
3:04 The shenanigans are about to begin
As long as they keep pop starting the car and the alternator is decent…they gonna get there 😂
“Pop it!!!”
Actually glad you had to reload this.
There were some spoiler material in the last video. But, definitely keep watching. They don't hit as good as the first but you cant miss them.
Also fun fact, "Your the Best" was written for Rocky III. So the words dont really match what's going on but damn that song definitely plays during my workouts today still!
Definitely check out the other Karate Kid movie and also check out the movie The Goonies(1985).
Aww drats I had goonies up too but I actually think it was taken down for copyright too..
Yes, especially 2, and if you are watching cobra kai , and want to fully understand the characters. 🙂
27:40 Oh Mr. Miyagi! Bless you!! 😔🙏🏽
Johnny is not a complete jerk. He's a jerk, but not complete. :P
He does have a moral code, and even though he is somewhat troubled, he didn't want to fight dirty. But he was formatted to execute his sensei's instructions, and so he did, against his best judgement.
Keep watching, every will eventually make sense.
Ah yeah I never thought about Ali knowing the rules of the tournament because of previously attended with Johnny👍
40:21 crane kick
13:24 This is where the fun begins! 🙏🏽💪
I think Daniel needed to hear from his “father”. Daniel knows the ladies love him no matter what and sometimes they coddle him a bit. Daniel needed Mr Miyagi because for better or worse he would tell him the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Karate Kid 1-3 are all worth watching. I dare say the third one is the weakest, but events from all three movies are referenced in the Cobra Kai series, so to get the most out of that experience I really recommend watching all three. :) And Cobra Kai is a great show, and often absolutely hilarious. xD
13:54 This is true! 😂
The guy who faces Johnny in the semi finals invented the crane kick which is not a real kick it's a double jump kick it's darryl vidal who is a 10th degree black belt in kenpo
Also miyagis stunt double. He has a TH-cam channel and he's so nice. Love chatting with him
@@andreadeamon6419 yep
He stunt doubled for Miyagi for the crane kick scene on the beach but Fumio Demura was his stunt double during the Halloween fight.
@@topdogblackcat yep
During the fence scene ralph accidentally got kicked in the face by billy zabka
Here's some fun for you
William zabka (Johnny) produced and stars in a video called "sweep the leg"
With a lot of people you'll recognize.
Not sure why you had to re-upload, but here's my like & comment back. :)
Edit - nevermind, saw the copyright issue. 😢
Your yellow stuffed animal looks like it has strings of ground beef under it.
I can't stop seeing it
The opening scene in the second movie was supposed to be the end of the first but they ran outta time like the first 2 rocky movies
Oooh I see! Welp! Also adding rocky to the list 😂
@@NiaMakiReacts awesome you'll like them
Not only are the rest of the trilogy worth watching, they set up the show Cobra Kai so well which is a 10/10 show
Man after this movie idk how ima like watching Cobra Kai! 😂 they mean!
@@NiaMakiReacts you definitely will. Please watch and please react. It's very good and very digestible. It's an easy watch and you can't help but to love the characters. Especially the Cobra Kais. Lol
@@NiaMakiReacts
Cobra Kai never dies, baby! 🐍🥋
*Robert Kamen (and his Brother Roy) the screen writer for this movie is my Senior in Martial Arts and Mr. Miyagi is based on my teacher who's school was on Mott Street until the pandemic. Great reaction homie!*
16:13 this line is hilariously underrated 😂
23:52 So satisfying 😌
Pat morita had to audition 5 times for Miyagi cuz no one wanted him because he was a comedian and was even nominated for this role but lost to someone else
One of my favorites 👍
Aye!!!!!!! 🙏🏽💪
14:24 🙏🏽💪
Awesome reaction:)) cant wait for more!
Thanks!!! Looking forward to all the karate kid movies!
PLEASE try to react to K.K.2 !!! It picks up exactly where KK1 leaves off. Too many channels have waited 10months to 2 years for the sequel.
You NEED to react to Cobra Kai! 😂
Idk if you've heard that there's a few fan theories that paint Daniel as a bully and a bad guy
We need 2 movie
6:56 👀
32:20 😊💪
I meant Staff Sergeant
The style of Karate I'm learning right now is Goju Ryu traditional Karate it's very similar to what Miyagi teaches Daniel
Small trees are bonsai, not banzai. Long O. Pronunciation matters. For example, if you were in Japan and you ordered sake using the same pronunciation that most Americans do (sa-key), you would be referring to a destination, not the drink. Most Japanese syllables are made up of a consonant and a vowel. The vowels are pronounced like this:
a - ah
i - ee
u - oo
e - eh
o - oh
I’m actually half Japanese and went through the Japanese education system lol
28:57 comment react 29:01.-Ernie Moore Jr.
42:00 ish... This whole movie and what you are talking about the no bad student is the premise of the series Cobra Kai. It's a whole new perspective on this movie taken from the side you do not see in this movie. The saying goes, a lot depends on what perspective you are viewing it from.
Anne Rice did something similar with 'The Vampire Lestat' in conjunction with 'The Interview with the Vampire'. In the first book you really felt disdain (at least) with Lestat, but in the second book, looking from it from a different point of view, it totally changes.

you so need to watch the three Karate Kid movies and watch Cobra Kai
You saw the Jayden Smith version before the OG version? 🤦🏻♂
It was on tv or something, casually watched it,I rarely go out of my way to watch movies
31:24 react.-Ernie Moore Jr.
i assume you're not watching B99 anymore????
I know with shows like Maleficent we're supposed to have sympathy for villains and all of that, but this "who's the real villain?" BS is getting ridiculous. Daniel does nothing to those guys. Ali broke up with Dingleberry and as a guy who has been dumped, it hurts. But I don't have a right to be abusive to her or to the guy she decided to be with. It took me forever to get over her, but I didn't stalk, harass, threaten or assault her new guy. That's unacceptable. I watched Cobra Kai and didn't have any sympathy for Johnny. His family was rich. The fact that he ended up a drunk loser was either unrealistic because his parents would have bailed him out and he seemed to have respect for Daniel by the end of the movie or it was his own stupid fault. I watched the first few episodes of Cobra Kai and Daniel's smart-assery after all those years (and after beating Johnny at the tournament) made no sense thematically. I like flawed characters, but having 2 guys in their 50s act like kids, rekindling a fight and presumably resolved as children didn't make me want to care about either of them and did a disservice to both characters. Here, it makes sense. Johnny is a spoiled rich kid under the influence of an abusive karate instructor. Daniel is the new kid in town and he's going through a lot, so his behaviour is also understandable. Johnny is the villain, but he's also just a kid here. I know the wax on, wax off stuff is cliched now, but back then, it was a really inventive way to tell a story and build character. I could nit pick and say that a Japanese American guy who fought in World War II and lived in California from that time until 1984 would probably have less broken English because he would have spoken it almost every day, but it was the 80s and every movie back then had some kind of racial, ethnic or some other weird stereotype that doesn't age well in 2024. Pat Morita is likeable enough that I think you can look past it.
As someone that’s a little bit of purist for the original karate kid movie, I do have my own issues with cobra Kai, however Johnny becoming broke is not one of them. It is completely possible for someone to come from a rich family and screw up their life and go broke. It definitely has happened and on top of that the show makes it clear that johnnys stepdad doesn’t really care for Johnny all that much, so I would say that’s a decent enough explanation as to why he didn’t bail him out. As for Johnny and Daniel acting like children, the whole point of the show is for both of their characters to grow up and put their differences aside to work together. In fact, adults acting like children happens all the time, I’ve even heard stories of people not getting over things that happened in the past.
Considering how much he wanted and how hard Mr. Morita worked to get this part, Plus that he (spoiler) came back for a sequel tells me he didn’t have a huge problem with stereotypes, etc.
And this is a martial arts film.
An elderly Asian man who teaches both fighting and philosophy isn’t a stereotype.
It’s an Archetype (actually several, functionally: mentor, ally, and trickster)borrowed with ❤️ from Asian martial arts films.
And he knocks it out of the park.
Fun fact: his accent was based upon the accent of Mr. Morita’s uncle.
You should watch cobra Kai best episode which is 3 x 10 according to google
You really should watch Karate Kid part 2. Its one of the few cases where the sequel is as good as the original (or better). After that you can skip the rest, even though obsessive fanboys and fangirls will always tell you to watch everything no matter what the series is.
I’ve seen part 2 now and it’s on Patreon but give me a week or 2 to have it up on TH-cam!
I'm kinda old 😂 but don't look a day older than 30
Larusso shouldn't have gotten involved. If you look at it from a different perspective Larusso is the villain.
Once you review this you gotta watch 2 and 3 and then cobra kai otherwise the show won't make sense to you
React to part 2
It’s already in Patreon, just need to edit it down
⛄🔪
The Karate Kid Part 3 wasn't worth watching until the Cobra Kai TV show made it so. Fortunately for you, Cobra Kai has not made The Next Karate Kid essential viewing.
Oooh so it’s all connected to the show.. ok I’ll be watching part 3 then!
@@NiaMakiReacts Oh yeah! No spoilers, of course. But the TV show, which started off as a fan service for one season on youtube, has turned into an actual Universe not unlike the Marvel comic book movies, if you can believe it.
Shame you were introduced to this franchise from the remake. No disrespect to Jayden Smith and Jackie Chan but I just didn't buy the relationship between the main characters that's there between Daniel and Miyagi.
Show me....like the reply
The reboot with Jackie Chan was terrible.
I wanna go home!!!
That's totally the problem with millennials & zoomers!!! You need to learn respect & when an older accomplished, experienced man or master of his craft is offering to teach you honor, self respect & self discipline, you should just shut up & listen & not question everything!!! You'll know if & when you need to!!!
