“Was there any kid in the 1980's who didn't ENJOY this movie? The only thing some people HATED is Daniel having to fight 5 bullies at once, instead of it should be Johnny vs Daniel. A classic and it was amazing to see Mr. Miyagi at first being just an old man to...he can kick ass who Daniel NEEDS to listen to. Then you realize with the Cobra Kai series, WHO the REAL BULLY/Bad guy really is: John Kreese.” read more

Fall 2020 Viewings (40 movies items)"Format: DVD Viewing: Umpteenth Thoughts: Binging the Cobra Kai series on Netflix made me want to revisit the original movies so bad, especially the first film. Hard to believe it's been 36 years since the first film was released. What makes the original Karate Kid so great is the deliberate slow pacing that gives you a real feel for the characters and story. Much like Rocky, it's an underdog story and Daniel's long journey to the final victory is a joy to watch."

You know......for kids! (180 movies items)"Poor Daniel, he goes through quite the rough treatment at the hand of the bullies in the film. Granted, he does win in the end, gains self respect, and kind of sort of gets the girl, but still... Also, it seems like Daniel has bad luck, with the ladies, his girl friend in part one, leaves him for some one else, in part two. And there is also internet theory, that suggests that in retrospect Daniel is an even bigger jerk than Johnny."
