It was downright amazing how many movies had killer soundtracks. The Transformers Movie, for crying out loud. A 90 minute toy commercial, and some of the most purely kickass songs ever.
I love how the actors who played the other Cobra Kai students gave such memorable performances with so little screen time. I still remember Dutch and Bobby to this day.
They only made one Remake of The karate kid though, Cobra Kai Netflix series is Not a Remake It's actually a Continue Story of the original Karate Kid movies, The Cobra Kai series probably ignore The Next Karate Kid movie though because Daniel is Not in that movie 🤷
The 80s was a very very special time.Its hard to explain in words how amazing it was if you've never lived in the most spectacular decade known to mankind.Long live the karate kid and the 80s 🤘💪
To be fair, he was the nicest one. -"He's had enough, Johnny" -tries to fight Daniel fair but Kreese says no -tells Daniel he's sorry after hurting him Not that that actually matters. People change.
I was 9 years old when this movie came out, then the next year Back to the Future, The Goonies, Teen Wolf, followed by Top Gun in 1986 and lots of others...lots of fun times and memories being a kid back in the good ol 80's!!!!
Bobby was a good kid imo. He tried to stop the Halloween beating and didn't really wanna hurt Daniel like he did when he got DQ'd. He did what he was told to do is all but we can tell he didn't want to
One of the best things about TH-cam is the comments section. You can watch old stuff from your childhood and see that other people have exactly the same memories and feelings as you do. For years I thought I was the only 1 who thought Johnny's kick at 1.11 was far better than the Crane Kick. Obviously I was wrong. This really is a brilliant film with so many sub-plots and details. The reaction of Kreese as he realises Daniel is a threat. The little convo between Johnny and Kreese when they're watching Vidal. The truly psychotic nature of Dutch. Could go on forever. I'll never get tired of this film.
“Get him a body bag” and “he’s had enough Johnny” ohh and don’t forget the cheesy 80’s line “take the worm for a walk week” these lines and movie soundtrack songs are etched in our minds.
I recently went to The Tournament of Kings in Las Vegas; there was a somber moment where the king was dying of his wounds from The Dragon Knight and in the silence I shouted, “GET HIM A BODY BAG!!” and someone else in the crowd followed with the YEEEEAH Most of the stadium was laughing it was GREAT!
Fear does not exist in this dojo, does it? Pain does not exist in this dojo, does it? Defeat does not exist in this dojo, does it? Jaden Smith does not exist in this dojo, does it?
Movies aren't inspiring these days..they either hamfist a social justice message or they just remake an existing movie devoid of emotion or character arcs. Sometimes they do both. Movies these days suck ass.
I couldn't watch these reruns because The boy Daniel looked so much like my son Wes and it just made me cry. I lost him Aug.31, 1994. Now I love to watch, remember him. Of course he looked like Ralph Macchio when Wes was 12 yrs old. Those big black eyes! So proud of the great guy Ralph grew up to be. Watched him on Dancing with the Stars. One can tell he is such a good guy.
I’m so sorry. I can’t relate quite as much -but my step son who I was so close to was taken away through divorce looks like him too. It breaks my heart as I miss him everyday so I can only imagine your pain:(
They really need to do a movie on his backstory - the feud with Sato, emigrating to the states and meeting his wife in Hawaii, imprisonment in Manzanar, fighting in WWII and receiving the Medal of Honor. There's so much there.
The wonderful Allee Willis who wrote this song, "You're the Best Around" just passed away today. RIP to one of the greatest American song writers in my lifetime. In case you are wondering, she also wrote "September" and "Boogie Wonderland" for the iconic Earth, Wind & Fire.
@@frogkic His daddy studied under Bruce Lee, and there is video footage of Steve McQueen and Bruce Lee in the backyard, can't remember whose house it is, but little Chad McQueen is right there with them. Anyone else seen that footage?

This movie never gets old. Much respect to everyone involved in it. Every actor excels in their performance but I think Darryl Vidal is the best fighter in the tournament.
My name is Daniel, this movie always resonated with me. I was watching for the first time in many years a couple of nights ago. I saw this movie at the theater in 1984. There's a scene where Danielson is wearing an '89 San Diego Charger jersey, the scene before he goes to the Halloween dance, and Mr. Miyagi has a few pumpkins. My Son is born All Hallows Eve, my Great Pumpkin (The Great Pumpkin), Jason is born in 1989, the fall of communism. These are more than montages for me, they're my real life. The first time I was arrested was Halloween night 1976 because I took a BB gun out to get payback on the teenagers who would throw eggs at the children and shoot us with fire extinguishers. My dad left me in jail overnight and I had a chat without our Creator.
For whatever reason, it seems like montages are either more difficult to me now because of the set precedence, or directors these days are just not creative enough to make the right. You hardly find movies with awesome catchphrases like SWEEP THE LEG or GET EM IN A BODY BAG JOHNNY. Just not the same
It's more than a karate movie. It's a lesson of life. A philosophy of the fight. I like this movie. There is a very strong link between the pupil and his teacher.
@@FranklinSninsky Have you seen Cobra Kai? That's the twist that they play with. In one of the first scenes old man Johnny beats up some bullies - just like Miyagi - to save a kid, and he gets arrested! What you would expect to happen in real life.
When this movie came out it was the hottest rental. Every Friday my bro & cousin would go to the video store to hire it & would come home with no Karate Kid until that Friday they did. We watched so many times until we had to take it back. Awesome film!
Dutch struck fear in Daniel’s heart, which led to overconfidence. Look at Pat staring at Dutch. He can see the overconfidence but recognizes Dutch is an absolute badass. I wish he would have reprised his role in Cobra Kai.
2:35 Tomm'ys anger... Miyagi's confidence... The ref calling Daniel winner and Daniel's face of unbelief... Kreese and Dutch looking worried... This ten seconds paid the whole video and movie. Great acting sequence!!
“Lesson not just karate only. LESSON FOR WHOLE LIFE.” “LIE BECOMES TRUTH ONLY IF A PERSON WANNA BELIEVE IT.” “It’s okay to lose to opponent. NEVER OKAY TO LOSE TO FEAR.”
Daniel: "You know what Mr. Miyagi said was the best defense in all of karate? The best defense is 'no be there'." Johnny: "You mean don't be there? The guy teaches you centuries of his ancient family karate, you can't help him with English?" 1-0 Lawrence
Love how LeRusso looks as nervous as can be the entire time, even looks to be shaking in fear/preparation. Really gives the viewers something to think about his character.
Karate Kid 1 - Daniel gets beaten up by bullies, learns new techniques from Mr. Miyagi, wins in the end. Karate Kid 2 - Daniel gets beaten up by bullies, learns new techniques from Mr. Miyagi, wins in the end. Karate Kid 3 - Daniel gets beaten up by bullies, learns new techniques from Mr. Miyagi, wins in the end. But damn if the series isn't awesome.
I could see why. IMO I felt Jackie Chan was a more believable teacher than Pat Morita and it's tougher for a 12 (?) year old kid going across the world than a 17 year old across country. But in the end, that one's still a remake. This one is considered a classic by the same director and songwriter who did Rocky.
rafterscott I just hate how he dealt with a seasoned expert in a fight to death in KK2, yet he was afraid of some other karate nut and couldn't defend himself after all his training in KK3 and before.
The last time I watched the movie was in the mid-90s. Fast forward to yesterday, I watched it with my kids n we truly enjoyed it. I'm glad the kids loved it.
I love to watch this, Ralph looks so much like my son Wes, those sweet dark eyes and the way he acts My son passed away, but what joy it brings me now just to watch Ralph in this
Did anyone notice that the kick that was done in 1:11, was the same kick that Devon had used during Cobra Kai's season 4 Valley competition? Seems that Johnny had passed some of his signature moves to the next generation!😀
There were tons of callbacks to the original tournament. Watch this if you really want to appreciate them Season 4 tourney to the original Joe Esposito th-cam.com/video/CZbhEzvWswg/w-d-xo.html
Yeah I DID notice a lot of familiar moves like that. Also is it just me, or does Johnny keep going for bonus points? He keeps landing hits on people twice, but I can't tell if it's because they're blocking bis first hits or not.
I still remember being a child around 4-5 having memories of the 2nd movie with the girl on the tree and Daniel rushing to save her. I’m 18 now damn how time flies I love these movies
Tricky _ Would love to see more Miyagi resurgence in the series along with Kreese redemption arc. Miyagi always knew Kreese was a lost soul, a war torn soul, and as a WW II vet he understood the inner conflict. When he faces off with Kreese it is never out of hate but pity even if Kreese is consumed by it. Which is why when he saves Johnny at the beginning of KK2 and has Kreese down instead of knocking him down with revenge in his heart, he has pity and just honks his nose like saying "No room for hate bro." One more lesson for Daniel-san.
I love the detail that they made Daniel a quick/nervous fighter, it shows he’s new to karate and nervous but still knows how to fight thanks to his great sensei.
@@boston_8213 Yeah probably around Episodes 5-7 will see Danny and Johnny team up along with Chozen. Terry Silver should make an appearance by the end of the season hopefully.
I was nine when this came out. Even over here in the UK it was huge and I wore out my vhs copy. So many elements. Coming of age, facing down bullies, first love, father/ son dynamic. Loved it. Cobra Kai took it and made it for today with a fleshed out Johnny and now Kreese, and gave it shades of grey. All while keeping the old elements.
How satisfying would it be to have this song in a training montage in the final season? Just imagine with the flashbacks and then cutting to Johnny and Daniel training their students together. And then cuts to Terry Silver and the Cobra Kai and then back to the heros, and seeing all the passion in them.
I grew up in the era when the movie came out and this movie was awesome. I think it has inspired a lot of children to stand up for them selves when times got rough in their lives at school. And some good life lessons “there is no such a thing as a bad student, only bad teacher” what reflects on parents and their bad behavior around their own kids and towards others.
jackthedoofus hitler is in any case different from poods, and poods is not hated people like you are just jealous cause he is funny cool and famous and so u wish u were like him, some other people hate him because they say he is childish, and if u are one of them then.. he makes it on purpose to make people laugh.
gamingtube You know who has more followers than pewdiepie? Justin Bieber...scary right? sooo...apparently comparing talent or greatness by the amount of fans is not such a good idea.
Daniel was the Bitch in the movie , he only make problems ( as a new kid on his school ) Jonny and his GF has a clintch , Daniel interrupts . I think daniel is the asshole not Jonny. Jonny never hit when Daniel was down ( He always shows mercy ) but daniel provoke him to be without mercy ( sry 4 my bad english )
MultiGhetto15 SMFH so Daniel shouldve stayed back and let Johnny be a jerk to the girl when she didn't wanna talk to him and then when he tried to help it makes him the bad guy? Honestly Johnny started their first fight by shoving him which was not necessary really.
The fact that Ralph and Pat remained best buddies will never not stop being awesome. For those who don't know, Ralph gave his eulogy when Pat Morita passed away.
So many great memories of great classic movie's and songs of the 80's what a time never will be another time like it! Glad i got to experience the best decade!
@@Tiger-uf4lk I imagine that Dutch probably would've gotten disqualified after that. It's not really surprising that he lost to Daniel since, in most cases fighting so overconfident and aggressively will make you fight stupidly. Like he literally just runs INTO Daniel's kick.
You mean "the valley" they sure did, just 👀 at the the population of that part of the outskirts of L.A., they're not too many black people in the valley. They would rather live by the city or by neighboring 🍊 County
I keep coming back to this movie and enjoy watching it over and over again through the years. Some films are highly rewatch able and Karate Kid continues to be even thirty years later! This is such a brilliant song choice to use to go along with the tournament preliminary fight sequence. I always stop to watch it over and over again!
@MrNaxman if u notice at 113 johnny kicked someone in the face with a roundhouse kick and got a point. But,yet people still debate daniel kick to johnny face was illegal
This song was originally written for Rocky III, hence the line "history repeats itself" in the song, but Sylvester Stallone opted for the song "Eye of the Tiger" instead as the theme song. It was almost used in the movie "Flashdance" but that movie ended up using "Maniac" for the theme song.
I heard he originally wanted Another Bites the Dust by Queen but the group didn't allow it. I never knew though that it was almost used in Flashdance but they made the right decision with Maniac. Eye of the Tiger, Maniac, and You're the Best Around were perfect for their movies.
Such a motivational song "Never doubt that you're the one and you can have your dreams" Powerful song... still listening in 2019, one of the best songs ever written in my opinion
A lot shows based on classics dont always work. But cobra Kai is easily an exception. We live in a golden age of TV and the 80's was the best for entertainment
2:23 and 3:13 I'm actually glad that they showed Tommy and Dutch Landing those first points on Daniel. So many movies like this, you're so used to seeing the protagonist become OP to the point where the bullied and antagonists can never land a hit on him anymore. But it makes sense that Daniel didn't become OP in comparison to Johnny's gang because, he was being trained to be defensive while THEY were the opposite. So the odds are evened out rather than stacked higher against the bullies. Also I like how, Tommy and Dutch are kinda shown as being thr more aggressive and bloodthirsty out of thr 5 bullies, snd yet they were easier to fight than Johnny and Bobby.
As legend has it, as Kreese said "I don't want him beaten." Tommy, Bobby and Dutch were DQd. If they played it straight up, Dan wouldn't have beaten all 3. Definitely would not have beaten Dutch. Heck, even Migayi had that "f this guy" look after kicking Dan in the face.
@@legendarygamer570 Absolutely. See, I'm perfectly fine with a lead protagonist who's immesenly powerful and skilled for no reason (argubaly). All I ask is that you dont purposefully make them untouchable to where they never take damage, which Rey is a prime example of the Mary Sue section protagonist.
@@isaactheworshipwarrior6687 Well Rey is that way due to lazy storytelling and woke writers/producers. Ashoka was a much better example of how to do it right.
80s songs could possibly be the best for motivational inspiration to beat your enemy

It's more than a karate movie. It's a lesson of life. A philosophy of the fight. I like this movie. There is a very strong link between the pupil and his teacher.
Yann M. Which I hope the series builds on. Pupil and Sensei both evolve over time but their bond - the essence of the teaching - is like forever.
That right
..and it's a story of friendship and going against all odds when no one believes in you..and standing up to bullies
@@vjreimedia who the fuck is JODA?
@@FranklinSninsky Have you seen Cobra Kai? That's the twist that they play with. In one of the first scenes old man Johnny beats up some bullies - just like Miyagi - to save a kid, and he gets arrested! What you would expect to happen in real life.
When this movie came out it was the hottest rental. Every Friday my bro & cousin would go to the video store to hire it & would come home with no Karate Kid until that Friday they did. We watched so many times until we had to take it back. Awesome film!
Dutch struck fear in Daniel’s heart, which led to overconfidence. Look at Pat staring at Dutch. He can see the overconfidence but recognizes Dutch is an absolute badass. I wish he would have reprised his role in Cobra Kai.
2:35 Tomm'ys anger... Miyagi's confidence... The ref calling Daniel winner and Daniel's face of unbelief... Kreese and Dutch looking worried... This ten seconds paid the whole video and movie. Great acting sequence!!
The hair rub.
Kreese’s body language suggests, “your turn, kid. Don’t let me down.”
@@ajbahus yep
This movie was a huge inspiration for all kids and teenagers to start training karate or other martial arts from Asia. It is always 100% discipline
Yeah, I could stand on the side of the bath in the crane position, because of this film. 😂
Motivates me to train
“Lesson not just karate only. LESSON FOR WHOLE LIFE.”
“LIE BECOMES TRUTH ONLY IF A PERSON WANNA BELIEVE IT.”
“It’s okay to lose to opponent. NEVER OKAY TO LOSE TO FEAR.”
With Mr. Miyagi words of wisdom, he had to be a Jedi.
"Wax on, wax off."
An Amber Heard quote...?
F yeah
Daniel: "You know what Mr. Miyagi said was the best defense in all of karate? The best defense is 'no be there'."
Johnny: "You mean don't be there? The guy teaches you centuries of his ancient family karate, you can't help him with English?"
1-0 Lawrence
3:23 ... That glare. Goosebumps everytime. You can just imagine his mind running.
Probably knows Dutch is a dangerous opponent so he’s assessing
Well whatever he was planning backfired.
Dutch is scary!!
Chad McQueen is the man. Sold him a couple phones over the years. Guy is going through it right now from various injuries racing I believe.
Ditto🌚🤙
Love how LeRusso looks as nervous as can be the entire time, even looks to be shaking in fear/preparation. Really gives the viewers something to think about his character.
One of the best fighting montages & music EVER!!! Cobra Kai's gi's were and still look badass today.
It's a c for COBRA bro
Karate Kid 1 - Daniel gets beaten up by bullies, learns new techniques from Mr. Miyagi, wins in the end.
Karate Kid 2 - Daniel gets beaten up by bullies, learns new techniques from Mr. Miyagi, wins in the end.
Karate Kid 3 - Daniel gets beaten up by bullies, learns new techniques from Mr. Miyagi, wins in the end.
But damn if the series isn't awesome.
Hahahaha true and awesome!!!
I could see why. IMO I felt Jackie Chan was a more believable teacher than Pat Morita and it's tougher for a 12 (?) year old kid going across the world than a 17 year old across country.
But in the end, that one's still a remake. This one is considered a classic by the same director and songwriter who did Rocky.
rafterscott I love Rocky movies!
rafterscott I just hate how he dealt with a seasoned expert in a fight to death in KK2, yet he was afraid of some other karate nut and couldn't defend himself after all his training in KK3 and before.
rafterscott 😂😂😂😂😂
@2:44- For all Dutch's bravado in the locker room, he doesn't look too thrilled that he has to fight Daniel next.
The last time I watched the movie was in the mid-90s. Fast forward to yesterday, I watched it with my kids n we truly enjoyed it. I'm glad the kids loved it.
I love to watch this, Ralph looks so much like my son Wes, those sweet dark eyes and the way he acts
My son passed away, but what joy it brings me now just to watch Ralph in this
I’m very sorry to hear that.
May your son rest in Heaven.

Ninja NikNik
It counts as the original. Not as a reboot. The Karate Kid had a reboot with Jayden Smith.
40 years later and this movie still kicks ass.
Who else gets the a good feeling watching 80s movies and hearing the music.
Did anyone notice that the kick that was done in 1:11, was the same kick that Devon had used during Cobra Kai's season 4 Valley competition? Seems that Johnny had passed some of his signature moves to the next generation!😀
EXACTLY ! I came back to this video to check out the same kick !!
Awesome observation 👍
@@zopheir5019 actually that's just one of many callbacks to the original
There were tons of callbacks to the original tournament. Watch this if you really want to appreciate them
Season 4 tourney to the original Joe Esposito
th-cam.com/video/CZbhEzvWswg/w-d-xo.html
Yeah I DID notice a lot of familiar moves like that.
Also is it just me, or does Johnny keep going for bonus points? He keeps landing hits on people twice, but I can't tell if it's because they're blocking bis first hits or not.
HAD to watch this after seeing the new Cobra Kai Netflix commercial.
My friend told me to watch this before cobra Kai
@@finess_boy2122 Your friend's right. You will understand some important point of beginning of the story.
Had to to the same, and i loved it
Same bro had to rewatch it again and part 2 and 3😁😁
I love cobra kai
I still remember being a child around 4-5 having memories of the 2nd movie with the girl on the tree and Daniel rushing to save her. I’m 18 now damn how time flies I love these movies
Watch Cobra Kai to see what happened to the girl in the tree
Pat Morita and Ralph Machio....perfect combination!
“Never thought I’d get this far”
“That make two of us”
Gotta love mr miyagi
Tricky _ Would love to see more Miyagi resurgence in the series along with Kreese redemption arc. Miyagi always knew Kreese was a lost soul, a war torn soul, and as a WW II vet he understood the inner conflict. When he faces off with Kreese it is never out of hate but pity even if Kreese is consumed by it. Which is why when he saves Johnny at the beginning of KK2 and has Kreese down instead of knocking him down with revenge in his heart, he has pity and just honks his nose like saying "No room for hate bro." One more lesson for Daniel-san.
Thought we were going home early, lol
Wtf? He said that makes two of us? What kind of motivation is that lol
@@Spawn733 at least it was honest. Lol
Boston _ i luv the clip on the brett Favre "football life" when he goes "you thought I'd be taller right???"
this whole montage is SO ICONIC
I love the detail that they made Daniel a quick/nervous fighter, it shows he’s new to karate and nervous but still knows how to fight thanks to his great sensei.
When Daniel finally fights Johnny in Season 3 this better be the soundtrack.
They’re gonna team up in season 3
@@boston_8213 100%...
If this doesnt happen Im done with Cobra Kai, Been on the ups and downs so many times. There has to be a Danny/Johnny DOJO!
Craigy B! It might take half the season but it will eventually happen to fight kreese
@@boston_8213 Yeah probably around Episodes 5-7 will see Danny and Johnny team up along with Chozen. Terry Silver should make an appearance by the end of the season hopefully.
Go Knighthawks Go you think chozen is gonna be good? I haven’t been keeping up with the cobra kai news but if he is that would be awesome!
I was nine when this came out. Even over here in the UK it was huge and I wore out my vhs copy. So many elements. Coming of age, facing down bullies, first love, father/ son dynamic. Loved it. Cobra Kai took it and made it for today with a fleshed out Johnny and now Kreese, and gave it shades of grey. All while keeping the old elements.
How satisfying would it be to have this song in a training montage in the final season? Just imagine with the flashbacks and then cutting to Johnny and Daniel training their students together. And then cuts to Terry Silver and the Cobra Kai and then back to the heros, and seeing all the passion in them.
Fr they need to use this soundtrack in the next and final season 6
I hope they do!
The 80’s was such a rad era.
I was born in 1988 and didn’t get to experience it but the music, movies and stories make up for it.
"I never thought I'd get this far."
"Make TWO of us!"
Makes ALL of us!
Fight for life not for points
MyEnemy me2😉
I like how Daniel has this scared bewildered face when he fights even when he wins
I get hyped every time I hear this song and think about the fights. Nothing else like it, especially growing up in the 80s
I grew up in the era when the movie came out and this movie was awesome. I think it has inspired a lot of children to stand up for them selves when times got rough in their lives at school. And some good life lessons “there is no such a thing as a bad student, only bad teacher” what reflects on parents and their bad behavior around their own kids and towards others.
You know who brought me here? Karate Kid. Simply a good workout song.

jackthedoofus i don't think he sucks cause he got 34 milion sub, maybe you suck -.-
jackthedoofus i said maybe you suck, but hitler and poods are different because hitler was evil poods is not, hitler was hated poods is not
jackthedoofus hitler is in any case different from poods, and poods is not hated people like you are just jealous cause he is funny cool and famous and so u wish u were like him, some other people hate him because they say he is childish, and if u are one of them then.. he makes it on purpose to make people laugh.

You know who has more followers than pewdiepie? Justin Bieber...scary right? sooo...apparently comparing talent or greatness by the amount of fans is not such a good idea.
1:11 when I first saw this as a kid of course I was team Daniel but I had to admit that move Johnny did was smooth as hell
Daniel was the Bitch in the movie , he only make problems ( as a new kid on his school ) Jonny and his GF has a clintch , Daniel interrupts . I think daniel is the asshole not Jonny. Jonny never hit when Daniel was down ( He always shows mercy ) but daniel provoke him to be without mercy ( sry 4 my bad english )
Brilliant move.
I was team Daniel when I was younger but as u get wiser and older u gotta say johnny was provoked. Team johnny now
MultiGhetto15 SMFH so Daniel shouldve stayed back and let Johnny be a jerk to the girl when she didn't wanna talk to him and then when he tried to help it makes him the bad guy? Honestly Johnny started their first fight by shoving him which was not necessary really.
@@Coolbay764 exactly that's my point these kids are blinded by that video
The fact that Ralph and Pat remained best buddies will never not stop being awesome. For those who don't know, Ralph gave his eulogy when Pat Morita passed away.

3:23 Myagi stares down Dutch. That look tells me Dutch was the most challenging opponent in the tournament to Daniel in Myagi's eyes.
Miyagi looked quite angry
Johnny and Bobby were more skilled than dutch i think its more because dutch ist just an asshole
His eyes.
this movie is and will always be a classic! I binged watched the entire Cobra Kai series recently, so epic!
So many great memories of great classic movie's and songs of the 80's what a time never will be another time like it! Glad i got to experience the best decade!
Easily one of the best inspirational songs ever.
Wished we would have gotten a longer scene when Daniel was up against Dutch. That would have been one hell of a battle.
Originally after Daniel got the point Dutch tackled him and tried to punch him. I don't know why they cut out the full battle.
@@Tiger-uf4lk I imagine that Dutch probably would've gotten disqualified after that.
It's not really surprising that he lost to Daniel since, in most cases fighting so overconfident and aggressively will make you fight stupidly. Like he literally just runs INTO Daniel's kick.
@@Tiger-uf4lk i always thought that scene looked truncated heavily. Such a shame since dutch was like the scary mini-boss before the real deal johnny.
That city took its Karate tournaments very seriously....
😂😂😂😂😂
😆👍
It's California in the 80's. Of course they did.
You mean "the valley" they sure did, just 👀 at the the population of that part of the outskirts of L.A., they're not too many black people in the valley. They would rather live by the city or by neighboring 🍊 County
Mr. Mediocre Gamer as they should
This song is awesome, and. I'm a 99s kid lol. One of the best 80s songs
I keep coming back to this movie and enjoy watching it over and over again through the years. Some films are highly rewatch able and Karate Kid continues to be even thirty years later! This is such a brilliant song choice to use to go along with the tournament preliminary fight sequence. I always stop to watch it over and over again!
@MrNaxman if u notice at 113 johnny kicked someone in the face with a roundhouse kick and got a point. But,yet people still debate daniel kick to johnny face was illegal
This song was originally written for Rocky III, hence the line "history repeats itself" in the song, but Sylvester Stallone opted for the song "Eye of the Tiger" instead as the theme song. It was almost used in the movie "Flashdance" but that movie ended up using "Maniac" for the theme song.
I heard he originally wanted Another Bites the Dust by Queen but the group didn't allow it. I never knew though that it was almost used in Flashdance but they made the right decision with Maniac. Eye of the Tiger, Maniac, and You're the Best Around were perfect for their movies.
The riffs the solos the lyrics the drums. Everything is perfect on this song love it.
Can't imagine Dutch just accepting a loss and not Beating the shit out of Daniel in the middle of the tournament ...
Dutch is my favorite now. Smooth, cocky but not whiny like many of the other Cobra's... and Daniel.
Chad McQueen, Son of Steve, a martial artist in his own right
Thought his head was going to fall off
He was originally been disqualified because of his tackling to another guy not Danny. Ive seen the original video of homevideo
This was the 80s. You took your whoopin' and shook the man's hand. And then probably become friends.
So hard to believe Ralph Macchio was 23 years old in 1984 when this was released. He looked much younger.
Jon-Sean Kempson he still looks younger lol
He was 21
juliana santos actually he was 23
Now he looks about 35, lol.
Jesse Stevenson and he’s actually pushing 60 supposedly
Joe Esposito did an excellent job coming up with this song considering the fact that he lived in Elvis's shadow for about 20 years.
God I'm in tears here .....omg how I wish I could go back to my years in the high school.....😢
“Listen. Remember, you defense! Points come! Concentrate! Focus power, remember balance, make good fight!”
Great life advice.
Such a motivational song
"Never doubt that you're the one and you can have your dreams"
Powerful song... still listening in 2019, one of the best songs ever written in my opinion
As a kid: I wanna be with Myagi
As a teen now: I wanna be with Johnny in Cobra Kai

A lot shows based on classics dont always work. But cobra Kai is easily an exception. We live in a golden age of TV and the 80's was the best for entertainment
2:23 and 3:13
I'm actually glad that they showed Tommy and Dutch Landing those first points on Daniel. So many movies like this, you're so used to seeing the protagonist become OP to the point where the bullied and antagonists can never land a hit on him anymore.
But it makes sense that Daniel didn't become OP in comparison to Johnny's gang because, he was being trained to be defensive while THEY were the opposite. So the odds are evened out rather than stacked higher against the bullies.
Also I like how, Tommy and Dutch are kinda shown as being thr more aggressive and bloodthirsty out of thr 5 bullies, snd yet they were easier to fight than Johnny and Bobby.
As legend has it, as Kreese said "I don't want him beaten." Tommy, Bobby and Dutch were DQd. If they played it straight up, Dan wouldn't have beaten all 3. Definitely would not have beaten Dutch. Heck, even Migayi had that "f this guy" look after kicking Dan in the face.
It's why Rey from the new Star wars movies sucked. She was OP from the beginning and never paid her dues.
@@legendarygamer570 Absolutely.
See, I'm perfectly fine with a lead protagonist who's immesenly powerful and skilled for no reason (argubaly). All I ask is that you dont purposefully make them untouchable to where they never take damage, which Rey is a prime example of the Mary Sue section protagonist.
@@isaactheworshipwarrior6687 Well Rey is that way due to lazy storytelling and woke writers/producers. Ashoka was a much better example of how to do it right.
@@ItachiZaku Only Bobby was DQ'd. Tommy and Dutch lost, but the film doesn't show how they lost.
