- It’s been over thirty years since 1984’s The Karate Kid first left a mark on cinema, turning Ralph Macchio into a movie star and earning Pat Morita an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
No one could have predicted the impact the movie was going to have at the box office or on pop culture. The movie has had three sequels, and the hit television series Cobra Kai has revived the popularity of the original movie.
Before this gem of a movie went down in history as one of the best sports movies of all time, it was nothing more than an idea. Here’s the untold truth of The Karate Kid.

Who was the real bully in The Karate Kid: Daniel LaRusso or Johnny Lawrence?
Neither. Like you guys said in the video it's John Kreese because as Mr. Miyagi once said, "No such things as bad student, only bad teacher."
Daniel
Daniel wasn't a bully but was what we like to call an "instigator". :)
I think it’s youth and hormones. Great film. Great TH-cam series. I can’t wait for the next season. I would jump up and down if Hilary swank appears.
Johnny Lawrence!
Rest in Peace, Pat. You touched my life with your acting. Your legacy endures.
Who here is Ready for Cobra Kai Season 3 on Netflix? One of the best Series on Streaming Services.
Yeah but if they cancel it-
One of the best series PERIOD
I am
I NEED seasons 3
Well they're in Netflix now so I think max is 8 season
I remember being at summer camp as a very young kid and they took us to the theater to see this movie. Thank you mom.
My late great grandma Ruth took me to see it, it memory serves.
Machio talked like a girl.. Couldn't stand that wimpy feminine boy. Otherwise, I liked the movie.
Pat Morita played that character perfectly. He didn't even have a Japanese accent in real life.
It wasnt his first time playing japanese though. He was an officer in the 1976 Midway movie.
Pat Morita also wasn't a martial artist expert!
@@Oniphius1 Yep! Not many people know this. I was surprised to see his face when I was watching that movie. I was like, "Hey! That's Mr. Miyagi!!" He's was a great actor. He is sorely missed.
The character of Mr. Miyagi was a staff sergeant in the 442nd Infantry Regiment, the most decorated unit in the U.S. military. The medal he holds the scene is, of course, the Congressional Medal of Honor. Even when I saw the movie in the '80s as a teenager, I thought Mr. Miyagi's scene was the best scene in the movie and really explained why he did what he did for Daniel.
This (points to Daniel's heart) means you're brave.
This (Points to medal) means you're lucky.
Let's think if this movie with THIS scene would be in cinema today.with Trump "president"
And then you watch Cobra Kai S1 E5......and get reduced to a crying mess all over again!!
It’s the Medal of Honor, not the congressional medal of honor.
@@Lightningfootjones 💯 exactly. The Medal of Honor is awarded by the president of the United States for valorous actions in combat. ... The award is often erroneously called the “Congressional Medal of Honor,” but it's an award whose recipients are chosen exclusively by the executive branch.Jul 9, 2015

Task & Purpose › news › theres...
There's No Such Thing As The 'Congressional' Medal of Honor ...
For anyone that’s a fan of the karate kid movies, I’d highly recommend the Cobra Kai series on TH-cam
Agreed. Can't wait for season 3. Hopefully has some terry silver and mike Barnes.
Hell yeaah
Great series
Season 2's ending just made me all the more hyped for the 3rd
Wtf happened to s3
One of the most iconic films of my youth. I remember me and my friends. Playing out underneath the streetlight. Wax on, wax off. Great memories.
Even till this day, when I wax my car I think k wax on wax off
Pat is so incredibly in this film. This is one of those few 80’s popular movies you rewatch and it doesn’t disappoint. Such a great film.
I know, I watch it so much
Zachariah Gray few 80s movies? There’s a lot of 80s movies that never disappoint
The other nearly perfect rewatchable movie from the '80s is Back To The Future.
@@RMagicS very true. Indiana Jones too
The Drunken Mr Miyagi scene has always been a tear jerker for me. Even in KK Part 2 when Mr Miyagi’s ex- girlfriend never married for 30 years waiting on him to return... that’s some really sad stuff right there. 😢
One of the greatest cinematic masterpieces of all time.
Yes!
The Drunken Mr Miyagi scene has always been a tear jerker for me. Even in KK Part 2 when Mr Miyagi’s ex- girlfriend never married for 30 years waiting on him to return... that’s some really sad stuff right there. 😢
Yup.
Watching that scene as a married an adult with children hits even harder than when Ibsaw the movie as a kid
or when daniel talks about his dead father to mr.myagui when mr. myagui's father died
@@isjosh8064 I cry EVERYTIME I get to that.
This scene was almost cut from the movie. Fortunately they decided to include it (Pat got Oscar nomination because of this).
Yoda, Obiwon Kenobi, Mister Miyagi, Avatar Ang, Uncle Iroh and Master Splinter, all Senseis we all wish we had in real life.
Sammy Lane You could add "...with great power there must also come -- great responsibility."
-Uncle Ben
OOGWAY
Watching the Avatar right now. Couldn't have said it better.
Sorry to be that guy but Iroh and Aang are Sifus which is master in Chinese which is Avatar’s culture both in culture and the bending
You forgot master Roshi
I actually did some karate a year after I watched it when I was young. I had to plead with my mum though as she felt it was too dangerous for little girls. I study Kung Fu now though. The Karate Kid is still one of my favourite childhood movies which I showed my daughter on Netflix recently. She loves it better than the remake (as she should!) Now, wax on, wax off.......
Praise the sun!
Please watch and experience Cobra Kai together when it comes over to netflix. It's amazing!
In Taekwondo a couple students wanted to do their forms for the talent show at their elementary school and the school said no.
The remake wasn't at all necessary, but the one good thing that did come out of it was Jackie Chan's performance. I'm not saying he was better than Pat Morita in the first movie, but his performance definitely deserved recognition.
The less said about the horrifically awkward child romance in that movie the better!!
@@AaaaNinja That is sad. Especially considering how flashy TKD forms can get. I think that would have been super cool.
'80's legit choice songs to motivate and train: YOU'RE THE BEST(AROUND), EYE OF THE TIGER, HEART'S ON FIRE, BURNING HEART, NO EASY WAY OUT, guaranteed to make your reps and sets motivate your mood. Thanks to these songs I regularly run leg 20 on the Stair Master.
And then "Ob-la-di-ob-la-da-life goes on bra"?
Danger Zone. Top gun.
All of these songs are on my Playlist to this very day. Who can give up when those songs are playing.
@@UnderTheMillkyWay I honestly call it the era of Muscle.
What about" meet me halfway across the sky" from Over the Top 😂
For anyone who enjoys The Karate Kid Trilogy i'd recommend The Cobra Kai Series, once on YT, In 2018, and now on Netflix and even ranked #1 ( In under a week of being released) on Netflix's most popular shows.
I'm glad they didn't cut the scene where Mr Miyagi gets drunk and sings. That's very central to his character and probably what inspired Daniel to train harder for the tournament. Even though it's not explicitly stated and neither Mr Miyagi nor Daniel mention it afterwards. This movie has a lot of depth besides 'underdog beats bully' and I love it.
I’m glad they used ‘You’re the best’ for this movie and Stallone opted for ‘Eye of the tiger’ in Rocky. Both songs fit each movie for mine. Eye of the tiger is a good training song and You’re the best is high octane that goes well with the different fighters going at it in the tournament.
Anybody here that was a kid in the '80s that wish they could have been a movie star back then pumping out awesome stuff like this?
One of my favorite movies when I was a kid along with Goonies, Lost boys, back to the Future, and anything Corey Haim/Feldman related. Man I miss them days
Fright Night, Explorers
@@GaNaCook I freaking loved fright night lol. Explorer? Never heard of that I have to go check that out
@@jamesritch5245 Well it is not that good, but i grew up with that too. It is called "Explorers" (1985 movie). I think same year with Goonies.
@@GaNaCook awesome man thanks for the heads up lol.
Literally just finished Cobra Kai on Netflix and give it a 10/10. Absolutely amazing and can’t wait for season 3. Didn’t think it would be possible to carry on the feeling from the first two films. Bravo 👏
8.5/10
10 out of 10 for me too! Love Cobra Kai! I always root for Daniel and his kids/students side; because I root for the good guys instead of the misunderstood Cobra Kai's like Johnny and Miguel! Great acting all around! Can't wait for Season 3, calling it, it will be mid 2021 when it comes.
I can't imagine the karate kid series starring a young RDJ and Toshiro Mifune
Ralph Macchio doesn't get enough credit to be honest. The Next Karate Kid is proof that it was Pat and Ralph that made it work. Their dynamic and chemistry was perfect.
Chuck Norris looked like he was wearing a sweater underneath his karate uniform LOL
He couldn't find a razor that didn't break.
Chuck "Chewbacca" Norris
Cobra Kai is one of the best add ons to a movie in a long time!
I was a teen when this came out. I still watch it today with the same joy, tears, and excitement! Go Danielson!
I only seen this movie on 📀, when I was 13 years old.
Now, I’m waiting for cobra Kai season 3 to come out on Netflix this year.
The WW2 backstory of Mr Miyagi was perfect and it shows how cruel those camps were to the Japanese. After the War and the Japanese were released, they lost their home and everything. The government took all that away and left them with nothing. All their hard work in building their life down the drain.
Also during WW2 It wasn't just Japanese. Any Asians were affected by and being called Japs and were insulted, pretty much like the Pandemic right now.
Guess they shouldn't have bombed pearl harbor eh?
One of the greatest movies of all time. I've watched it a hundred times, especially with my daughter, who also loves it.
yeah, a fantastic and imortal classic.
A tear of joy fell down my cheek as my 7 year old daughter genuinely cheered for Daniel in the end. I saw she enjoyed it as much as I did. 👍👍
I actually really appreciate that Mr Miyagi doesn't use high kicks and has a sort of weathered down version of Karate. I like the idea that as you get older you still use some good stuff even if you can't do it all.
Spot on with your observation here sir!
Looper, great video! Enjoy your week!💯🙏👐

Cool 😎

When Daniel stole the One Ring from Voldemort and threw it down the vent into the reactor to destroy the Death Star it was one of the greatest moments in cinema. The final line especially being one of the most iconic in movie history when he told Vader “Frankly my dear, I dont give a damn!”
@@morelhunter3966 Not to mention that part where Charlton Heston appeared running in a chariot, opened the Red Sea, machine-gunned the monkeys and said that soylent green is made of people.
Thanks for the shout out!
2020 aged 28, The movie is one of best.. Its an honor to had a karate sensei (Jayson Bingham Mancia)and a taiko sensei (Ms. Aimee Yamada). I learned much and grateful. love how in some ways I could relate!
Karate doesn’t work in a two street fight THo
@@slimewxlf70 best karate move is to walk away and avoid any physical contact..
Pat Morita was and always be an icon in my eyes. He got me hooked to study martial arts and although I didn’t paint fences or wash and wax cars I still hear his voice to this day when I do as an adult.
Awesome vid - Cheers for sharing man !!! :)
Thanks for this; I will now have to watch it again having forgotten how much I liked it (at least the first one)! Pat was awesome in it as he was a comedian!
This is the best karate kid movie i prefer this than the remake
The remake was a disgrace, but the series ''Cobra Kai'' is a decent sequel which keeps the legacy alive!
The other movie uses kung fu and they called it the karate kid...no offense to Jackie Chan (I love that guy) he should just make his own movies...not remakes...I would be furious if they tried to remake The Legend of Drunken Master...and also the kids were too young IMO
@@xbox627 Hate to break this to you, but the Legend of Drunken Master with Jackie Chan was itself a remake.
@@steveolie985 think he still furious?
@@KingExituS I don't know about disgrace, but it should have been called Kung Fu Kid.
I absolutely agree with your Cobra Kai comment though!
I hope u do a Karate Kid 2 . Love to hear about that one!
Me too.
3 was good as well, sure the plot was a bit cheesy, but Terry Silvers was imo the most interesting villain of the whole franchise, a manipulative and sarcastic sob who made any other evil look like Mother Teresa.
4, oh wait, there is no forth movie.
@@KingExituS I don't remember 3 to much so really I can't say.
@@SeekingSerpent6 I suggest you to watch it, you won't regret it, is a pretty good movie!
@@SeekingSerpent6 I remember it, and I wish I didn't.
Iconic!! For every Karate Kid fan, Cobra Kai will be appreciated. Love the flashes of old Karate Kid footage.
The endng of this movie is an inspiration
I still can't believe they said no hitting the face in the elimination matches and yet the karate kid won with a literal kick in the face.
@@logon235 Yeah but with tournaments punches to the face are illegal but kicks aren't because they're a lot harder to land.
Awesome video 👌
LOOPER do an episode on The Last Dragon!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!
I'm in Sho'Nuff agreement.
Must have been reading my mind lol. Been looking at vintage karate kid vids this morning
With the success of Cobra Kai and the franchise making a return after a few decades, we now need a prequel focusing on Mr. Miyagi
Very well researched and executed.
The Karate Kid and Bruce Lee movies inspired me to study the martial arts for the past thirty years. Without the martial arts I would be very lost. Thank you for this masterpiece.
Same
But im 18 i just started karate
😂😂🤮
Mursaleen Saleem karate doesn’t do nothing in a street fight. It’s still art. Just not a good realistic one.
I watched this the other day and while some great movies from back then just don't hold up as well today, this movie is even better to watch as an adult than as a kid, you understand so much more when you're older.
The Music was awesome!!
When I hear about all the actors that turned down roles, or didn’t get part. I think what a different world it would be if these things happened. I’m glad things worked out the way they did. Wouldn’t have it any other way.
Usually these videos are terrible, but this one came out interesting.
That was great 👍🏿. That film was one of the motivational factors that has made me a career martial artist.ℹ️💯✅❤️✝️🙏🏿📖🗡👌🏿👍🏿☯️😎
Wow 😮 I’d remember watching this movie as a kid . In Des Moines IOWA. I was only 12 years old . Love this movie had a big crush on Elizabeth Shue. A bunch of my friends work on a summer job ( detasseling corn ) made some money to buy movie tickets. Lots of great memories. Life was much simpler as a kid then .
Thank you Avildsen for giving me some of my childhood favorites..Rocky and Karate Kid. Man these movies are great. I wish things came more from the heart these days rather than excessive CGI. ( Not saying all movies nowadays are bad, there are still many great ones.)
i loved the karate kid as a kid. The fun exciting moments from the karate action, the music, and a bit of comedy.
Then as i grew older, as i continue to watch it, not only do I love it, but I appreciate the other finer moments in the movie that I never quite caught/understood as a kid. Made me appreciate the love I have of this movie even more thanks to the dynamic relationship between Daniel-Son and Mr. Miyagi.
Then of course, a few years passed without watching it again and all of a sudden Cobra Kai youtube show comes around. I literally not only cried due to how awesome this show was and how much love was put into this show due to the creators love of the original karate kid series---I broke down during the grave site scene of Mr. Miyagi. Ahem. What I am just trying to say is that I freaking love this movie and it's sequel.
As for the 3rd movie, I am just greatly entertained by it's hilariousness and over the top bad guy, Terry Silver.
My buddy painted the cover of this movie and the billboard that hung outside the studio. Him an I just finished a mural on Monday.
Thats pretty cool. Where can we see the mural?
jayfiver rides hes lying hes full of shit
the studio wanted to cut Miyagi’s best emotionally charged moments?! How u do Mr. Miyagi that way?
I love the karate kid it’s an amazing movie and defiantly brings me back to the 80s......💕💕💕
"Man who can catch fly with chopsticks, does not need swatter." - Mr. Miyagi -
Addendum: "...but then ends up eating with a clean fork."
only watch these the other day. great series
This movie inspired me along with young samurai for my story
His momma called him clay, imma call him clay
Amazing
its neat the Cobra Kai and Karate Kid are linked in such away. both are grate in there own right, but seeing them come together is amazing!
Fortunately for all of us Noriyuki "Pat" Morita got the role! I couldn't imagine anyone else in that part. He was perfect!
The very first episode of the Cobra Kai series here on youtube is one of the best things I have ever seen. If you havent watched it, pleas do yourself a favor and watch it. Especially if you watched the Karate Kid in your youth. 🙌
It's been a long time. ♥️
My cousin Israel played Freddy in Karate Kid. I already loved it as a kid but to see him in it just used to bug me out. great great film...
That’s awesome.
i've been watching a lot of karate kid interviews and stuff ever since i discovered the Cobra Kai series earlier this year. Pretty much all of the information in this video is things i've heard the actors explain in interviews that can be found right here on youtube. So the ''untold'' truth of the Karate Kid has actually been told many times ever since Cobra Kai reinvigorated the franchise back in 2018.
With almost 5.2 million subs, I guess it can be said this channel is probably going to reach a larger audience, specifically those who don't specifically look for Karate Kid stuff like I have.
Wow I did not know. This movie is classic and I love it :)
Talk about funny Mr Miyagi grabs the fly with chopsticks and BAM perfect transition to an ad. I was like WTF did Mr. Miyagi just do that?!
What a pleasure meeting fumio demura the man behind the karate kid scenes he inspired me to do my best he is the true miyagi
How freaking long do we have to wait. I'm ready for season 3
A very inspiring movie, a very inspiring trilogy; the kid at the last row may become the shining star of the moment if he wills to be trained by a fatherly master!
I really hope there's a movie named Miyagi: Karate Kid Origins after their finished all Cobra Kai seasons.
Lamar can't seem to catch a break. He's ridiculed for being a nerd, learns karate and still has his butt handed to him.
He did win the javelin toss
Cobra Kia was the best idea ever. Kk was always my favorite movies. This was the answer to my prayers frfr.
People who dislike this video are probably part of the cobra Kai
Man what can I say. I loved it as a kid and I love it as a 42 yr old woman. I had the biggest crush on Ralph Machio. I had no idea that he was 22 though..that's amazing.
Well done.👍👀👍
A CLASSIC!!
Noriyuki 'Pat' Morita is a legend. He will always hold a special place in my heart.
Amazing detail.
Not only did the supurb acting by Pat Morita make this movie, but also the chemistry between Ralph Machiao and Morita.
Pat gets a lot of accolades (and he should because he was Oscar nominated for the role) but Ralph was equally impressive in the role. Daniel would never work if anyone else played him. Ralph made Daniel relatable but also not a pushover. He was charming, a hot head and he was a natural for the role.
The part which the music played in this movie goes a lot deeper than just mentioning Joe Esposito‘s performance. It was convenient that he and Bill Conti had collaborated on “You’re the Best” for Rocky III and it was instead held over for The Karate Kid. The parallels between this particular film and the Rocky films apparently motivated Mr. Conti to write another song to be performed by Survivor, “Moment of Truth”. That song isn’t heard until the closing credits, but it is still memorable for including multiple themes that Bill Conti incorporated into the filmscore and being the first Survivor track to feature singer-come-lately Jimi Jamison (God rest his soul).
The 80’s last great decade in this country!
I now rate movies by how often I like to watch them. Some "great" movies, I don't really want to see again -- like Titanic. Many films are not so "great", yet I enjoy seeing them again -- like Dogma, or Ex Machina.
But, a few films, I can watch many times over -- like Maltese Falcon, Astaire/Rogers films, Thin Man series, Connery Bond films, Blade Runner, and all Marx Bros. films.
Karate Kid is in that category. You can watch this film many times, and it is still entertaining and touching.
Legend
I'm glad that they keep the scene in the movie because for some it was real life back then and he played it well
Truly a film that ages like fine wine. Cinema masterpiece.
This and Bloodsport inspired me to practice MMA. I already do Karate, but one of the fighters in Bloodsport did Muay Thai.,
I assume you are familiar with Tony Ja then. If not, check out Ong Bak or The Protector.
I love love these movies, I even want cobra ki
Johnny had a black eye, but if you watch the fight he had with mr. Miyagi he was never struck in the face.
the song would fit perfectly for the Miagi prequel.
Man, having Toshiro Mifume as the teacher would have been awesome!
I agree and Chuck Norris in the other side....
That's how you know it's really good because there's barely any unlikes
Cobrai Kai is brilliant. Can't wait for season 3!
1:15 love this part
I just watched all theses last night😂
If they can bring back Karate kid by turning it into cobra Kai then surely they can bring back other 90s and 80s nostalgia like the last unicorn, Captain Planet, Freakazoid,The squadron supreme or Gargoyles!
I agree with you with freakazoid and did you know that the guy who did the voice for the fire dude in Captain planet alsodid you know that the guy who did the voice for the fire dude in Captain planet also did the voice for Daniel and the karate kid cartoon
GARGOYLES YO!
Simply one of the best movies of all time. Long live the 80s
The was a cobra kai game ad on this XDDXX
