he's not real you know

23:22 If anyone was curious to know more about Mr. Miyagi's past. Prior to World War 2, he leaves Okinawa and emigrates to Hawaii (Why he left his home is explained in the next movie). Hawaii was where he met his unnamed wife. After Pearl Harbor was attacked, he and his wife were relocated to Manzanar the Japanese-American Internment camp. He ended up volunteering and enlisting with the U.S. Army during World War 2 and fought overseas. The 442nd Infantry Regiment is best known as the most decorated in U.S. military history and as a fighting unit composed almost entirely of second-generation American soldiers of Japanese ancestry (Nisei). Beginning in 1944, the regiment fought primarily in the European Theatre in Italy, southern France, and Germany. It was organized on March 23, 1943, in response to the War Department's call for volunteers to form the segregated Japanese American army combat unit. Much like the how the Tuskegee Airman were an all African-American fighting unit. More than 12,000 Nisei (second-generation Japanese American) volunteers answered the call. Unfortunately, while he was away fighting overseas in Europe, that's when Miyagi got the news that his wife died tragically. Daniel discovers that he's a Medal of Honor recipient and of course, Miyagi isn't one to brag or show it off.

Absolutely recommend Cobra Kai - I think you'd love it. Pretty simple and familiar premise; new kid moves to town, gets bullied, needs to learn karate to defend himself. But instead of finding a wise and worldly Mr. Miyagi, he finds an alcoholic deadbeat Johnny Lawrence. Genuinely one of the best shows out there, IMO. Knows exactly what it's trying to be, and does it immaculately, but it also showcases a lot more depth and complexity that is really interesting to see - the idea that "there are people in life who need Miyagi's lessons; to learn balance - and there are people in life who need Cobra Kai's lessons; to learn confidence and to fight for what they want; neither is inherently worse, they just have their own strengths and weaknesses".

Thanks for watching one of the best films of my youth, V! Glad you enjoyed it so much. This movie inspired me to try out karate lessons for myself, and even though I didn't stick with it past my high school days, I can tell you that what we saw from Mr. Miyagi isn't typical martial arts training. But Daniel had to prepare for competition against people who had been training for years, and had only months to gain the skills he needed. I think that's why Mr. Miyagi chose a very unorthodox training style. How effective it would have been in real life I can't say, but it's a lot of fun to watch. I also can't speak to the "Cobra Kai" series -- although I'd like to watch it, I'm not subscribed to the right service. However, if you decide to go through the original trilogy, I think you'd also like the 2010 remake. It has its own charm, with lots of thanks to Jackie Chan, as well as a number of respectful nods to the first film.

I’m not sure if anyone told you this behind-the-scenes fun fact, but the location where they filmed for the original Cobra Kai dojo is in North Hollywood. You can look it up to get the exact location, but to give you an idea it’s on southbound Lankershim between Magnolia and Weddington just a few blocks south of the Red & Orange Line station. We also have two Golf n Stuff locations here in SoCal: one in Ventura and another in Norwalk. Now that you watched this one, there’s no turning back. We look forward to you reacting to the other movies and of course Cobra Kai. If and when you do, we’ll gradually have a lot of talk about.

Well especially in the Cobra Kai series. In the 80's kids were kind of left to handle their own bullies.

The song "You're the Best" used for the tournament montage was originally going to be used in Rocky 3. It ended up being replaced with "Eye of the Tiger" when that song was written for the movie.

One of my all-time favorite movies. Ralph Macchio as Daniel and the late Pat Morita as Mr. Miyagi were amazing. Elizabeth Shue, who played Allie, was also Jennifer in the second and third films in the Back to the Future trilogy. She was also in the 80's comedy film Adventures in Babysitting. And the one Cobra Kai member you said dyed his hair was played by Chad McQueen, the son of my favorite actor, Steve McQueen. The unit that Mr. Miyagi served in, the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, was a real unit. It was comprised of Japanese-American soldiers and fought in the European theater during World War Two. It was also one of the most highly decorated combat units in the ETO. Several of the men were recipients of the Medal of Honor.

A fun movie from my childhood. Love it. Fun fact: the station wagon used for Daniel's mom's car actually had an automatic transmissions, So push starting it isn't really possible. Even better fun fact: The car Mr Miyagi gives Daniel for his birthday is a 1948 Ford Super De Luxe, and after the movie the producer did actually give it to Ralph Macchio and he still owns it. It's even seen in the Cobra Kai series. VKunia I definitely suggest watching atleast the second movie. You'll learn more about Mr Miyagi. If you plan to watch the Cobra Kai series then it's important to watch the second and third Karate kid movies.

The rabbit-hole of martial arts movies is very deep. Next up lets try Kung Fu Hustle 😁

Growing up, my favorite parts of this movie were the karate scenes. Now, I appreciate watching Mr. Miyagi and Daniel become teacher and student, then friends. Elisabeth Shue was among my first celebrity crushes. Her brother, Andrew Shue, also acted. He became famous on the original _Melrose Place._ He played one of the Cobra Kai students in this movie. He also played professional soccer, so he may have given his sister some tips during the soccer scenes. Eagle-eyed viewers will spot a common actor between _The Karate Kid_ and _Revenge of the Nerds._ That's right. Lamar played one of the contestants in the karate tournament. It's hard to believe Larry B. Scott did such wildly different roles in the same year.

There was an alternate shot of the final kick made that showed a close-up of the kick in slow-mo. They decided not to use it but kept it. For Cobra Kai, they finally used it in a flashback to show the event from Johnny’s perspective

The 2010 one isn't bad. It just should have been called the Kung Fu kid and been marketed not as a remake, but as a spiritual successor/adaptation. Jackie Chan is great in it.

Mr. Miyagi was played by Pat Morita, who was a Nisei Japanese-American. Prior to The Karate Kid, Pat was best known as a stand-up comedian and comedic actor. On Happy Days, he played Arnold and on M*A*S*H he played Captain Sam Pak. The accent of Mr. Miyagi was inspired by Pat's uncle, because Pat had a California-flat accent in real life. As a stand-up, Pat had a very un-PC nickname he was sometimes called and that he used himself. There are clips on KZread of his stand-up, including one for a Playboy produced show with Hugh Hefner and some of the Playmates in the late 1960s. No one wanted Pat to play the role of Mr. Miyagi, mainly because of Arnold on Happy Days. He couldn't even get an audition for the longest time. When he was finally able to, he nailed it and was hired. He was nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, but unfortunately lost to Dr. Haing S. Ngor for The Killing Fields. Pat did the next two Karate Kid films with Ralph Macchio, and then they tried to re-launch the series with The Next Karate Kid, and the student named Julie Pierce was played by future Oscar-winner Hillary Swank. Karate Kid II picks up immediately after the tournament! Personally, it is my favorite of the main three. The main trilogy was directed by John G. Avildsen who was the Academy Award-winning director of Rocky. Cobra Kai begins 34 years after the first Karate Kid, and initially focused on Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka), but it changed during its run for the best when it started balancing the Johnny and Daniel stories with that of the new generation of karate students. When Ralph Macchio returned to play Daniel, he was the same age as Pat Morita when he first played Mr. Miyagi, 57 years old. When the original was filmed, Ralph was 23, Elizabeth Shue (Ali) was 20, and William Zabka (Johnny) was 18. Cobra Kai is an AMAZING show and you really should watch it as it connects to the main Karate Kid films in so many cool ways. Unfortunately, the series will be ending this year with Part 1 of the 6th season posting on July 18th on Netflix. Almost every major character of the Karate Kid films, and many supporting ones, have appeared on the show. The one glaring exception has been Julie Pierce, Hillary Swank's character. Many fans, myself included, hope that she will show up if only for a cameo before the series ends.

Pat was also in an episode of the Odd Couple, as a Japanese WW2 veteran (for the Japanese side). Felix had met him on an island. He claimed to have been a Kamikaze pilot, but he got nervous, and landed safely. When Felix asked why he didn't go back, he explained "They only gave me one way map."

The scene with Daniel and his mom are having lunch is so unusual because not many movies feature a scene where which tells you to look beyond the characters in foreground and pay attention to the ones in the background.

Karate is this big all over the world. When I was at a tournament, I once saw a mistake where two people went to throw a kick at the same time and they caught on each other. As they fell, both broke their knees on the connected legs. The sound was palpable. The popping out of one person's bone was more... memorable. After that, you are definitely more motivated to learn to block.

Kind of poetic as well since Daniel and Johnny are around the age of Mr Miyagi in the first film.

The late John G. Avidsen (Oscar-winner for Rocky, 1976) directed the first 3 films of the franchise. The Rocky saga's composer, Bill Conti scored all these films too. Karate Kid was actually the name of an DC character from the Teen Titans. So the rights to the name had to be acquired in order to use it as the movie's name. I was 4 years old when this was released. One of the greatest cinematic experiences i ever had. Daniel's story hit home for so many of us kids, learning to be brave and having the right guidance to do so. This movie got me into classical karate to study and later on other martial arts. I knew of the late Pat Morita as an actor and comedian (Happy Days, Sanford & Son). Morita's voice as Miyagi was the voice of his late uncle and the dialect took some time in a few readings. Such a great performance and him being nominated for an Oscar (Best Supporting) was so cool. William Zabka (Johnny) went on to become a Oscar nominee as well for co-writing and producing a short film, Most (2003). All these things, plus "Wax on, Wax off" and 40 years later, you gotta love it. Also RIP to Martial Arts' legend Pat E. Johnson, playing one of the referees and was the film's fight choreographer.

Myagi is the teacher/mentor we all dream of having. One of my favorite characters of all time.

Karate Kid 1 and 2 are my favorite. I mildly like the third movie. The remake changes the martial art from Karate to Kung Fu. Pat Morita started his career on Happy Days. Ralph did a few other movies Crossroads where he plays guitar, The Outsiders which is based on the S.E. Hinton young adult novel. Ralph costars with Tom Crusie, Patrick Swayze, Emilio Estevez, C Thomas Howell, Matt Dillon and Diane Lane. Then there is My Cousin Vinny which he does with Joe Pesci, Fred Gwynne AKA Herman Munster, Marisa Tomei. The romance in this movie is what I think of when I hear the song Uptown Girl.

These movies were such a huge part of my childhood. I even had the paperback books based on them. It's funny 'cause they never actually say the Cobra Kai teacher's name in this or KK2. So I had to find out via the books that his name is John Kreese. Then they say it a lot in KK3, which everybody (except for me, seemingly) hated for like the first 30 years until the Cobra Kai show made references to it. I actually find Kreese to be pretty hilarious in KK3, but here in the first movie he's definitely detestable. He's barely in KK2. KK2 picks up right where this one left off, literal minutes after. And if you loved Mr. Miyagi in this one, he's just as great in that one. Cobra Kai is great too (Johnny Lawrence is still my favorite character in it) but I won't add to the deluge of requests that you'll probably start getting for it. Haha

Fun fact: The bonsai logo on the back of the karate gi that Daniel wears through the tournament was designed by Pat Morita(Mr. Miyagi)!

Hands down one of the best IPs to span so many decades. While you have to buy into the premise that karate rules the Valley and assault isn't a thing completely, Cobra Kai really made me appreciate these films on a different level.

What day and time is “War for the Planet of the Apes” being released from patreon and coming to KZread? Tell us, tell us! 🤯 💩 💪 🦧 ☝️Me flinging poo in anxious frustration 😅😜

Her name is Elizabeth Shue, she played Jennifer in Back to the Future 2 &3, Chris the main character in Adventures in Babysitting (1987), and she was also in movie that was like, but not based off of Flowers for Algernon called "Molly", and she was directed a movie loosley based on her adolescence called Gracie.

Miyagi style training is a legitimate part of real martial art training. Those who say that this movie and its sequels have nothing to do with Japanese martial arts have not trained in Japanese martial arts. And also, don't underestimate how many amazing martial artists there is that have been inspired by the Miyagi Universe.

Mr. Miyagi is the da bomb! You’ll love this movie VKunia! You look incredible!

The girl is Elizabeth Shue.

There's a famous scene in the Japanese movie trilogy, Samurai, where a group of ruffians are trying to harass Miyamoto Musashi while he's trying to eat in his room at an inn. They brag about how fierce and dangerous they are while Musashi quietly continues to eat his rice with chopsticks. The ruffians get bolder and start calling him out. Instead of rising to the provocations, Musashi starts to swat flies away that are buzzing around him. And with his first attempt, he grabs one with his chopsticks. And then another. The ruffian leader notices this and understands the level of control it takes to catch flies and backs out of the room scared.

"I trust this man with my life." That is exactly how we all felt watching this movie back in the 80s lol. Pat Morita instantly became a sensei to all of us. Also, you've gotta watch Karate Kid 2!

As a proud New Jersey native.. Who hurt you, V? ☹️😂

Seriously tho. Multiple unprovoked shots fired 😂

I’d recommend Karate Kid 2-4 after this and then the remake after if you want to watch all that! Then you could move onto Cobra Kai with the final season coming out soon😆

The scene with Miyagi is important because it referred to a little known (outside of WW2 nerds) unit. Mr. Miyagi served in the 442nd Infantry Regiment, a US Army unit composed exclusively of soldiers of Japanese descent. Fighting in Europe, they were the most decorated unit in the US military, earning over 4,000 Purple Hearts, 4,000 Bronze Stars, and 21 Medals of Honor (over 18,000 individual citations in WW2). They did all of this while many had family members interred in concentration camps (not death camps, but still pretty ugly) and their family's property were seized.

"I hear the Pacific is freezing though." Yeah, that good old current coming down from Alaska'll do that, lol.

The 2010 remake isn't bad, and worth checking out... But if you've *never* seen a martial arts movie... You *gotta* see - "Enter The Dragon" "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" "Hero" "Rush Hour" "Police Story" "Drunken Master 2" "Project A" "Police Story 3: Supercop" "The Matrix" "Kung Fu Hustle" "Kill Bill" Marvel's "Daredevil" series "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" "The Last Dragon" "Once Upon A Time in China" "Romeo Must Die" "The Protector" 2005 (AKA "Tom Yum Goong") "The Raid: Redemption" "Everything Everywhere All At Once" And a couple of more obscure gems that are personal favorites of mine: "The Storm Riders" "Banlieu 13" (AKA "District B-13) "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story" "Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey" (2000) "Ninja Assassin" "Tai chi Zero"/"Tai Chi Hero" "The Bride with White Hair" "Man of Tai Chi" That'll get you started.

The “bone breaking scene” in the movie the protector…… don’t take his elephant… lol

"Is this really how you karate?" 🤣🤣🤣 She's adorable!

You're the first reactor I've seen who picked up immediately that Mr. Miyagi was teaching Daniel movements and muscle memory. Very perceptive! :)

A testament to Pat Morita's acting: he was born and raised in California, yet played the role of Nariyoshi Miyagi to perfection. Like Miyagi, Morita and his family were interned during WWII in real life.

Man I love the karate kid series 😂😂 while a lot of people hate the 2010 reboot, I fucking LOVE it. Maybe we will get to see cobra Kai reactions too because damn cobra Kai cooked wayyy better than I thought it was going to

Please watch Karate Kid 2 & 3, and then Cobra Kai...you will not be disappointed!

Mr. Miyagi is the mentor and father figure that ALL of us need.

One thing a lot of people dont know : Pat Morita was a funny guy, a comedians, always joking. He didnt have a japanese accent (didnt speak japanese i think) At first, The director of the movie didnt want him to be mr Miyagi who is calm and serious. But he manage to convince him and nailed the role!

please also watch The karate kid 2 and 3 and than cobra kai series. Its a masterpiece

So is this the start of karate kid/ cobra Kai series? Plssssss

So, the bit where Daniel is doing all the work: wash the cars, sand the floor, paint the fence and paint the house was to teach him how to block via muscle memory. The chores also teach Daniel patience, dedication and that hard work pays off in the long run to achieve something. The chores also acted as a form of payment. The last reason Mr. Miyagi had Daniel do the chores was to test him and see how far Daniel was willing to go to learn karate and wanted to make sure that Daniel wasn’t wasting Mr. Miyagi’s time.

Here’s some fun trivia: The car that Mr. Miyagi gives Daniel, it was given to Ralph Macchio when filming was finished. He still owns the car to this day.

I loved these movies so much. I took martial arts for a good 3 years as a kid because of it. Mr. Miyagi was and is an all time film mentor! The 2010 remake isnt bad! You should check it out there are changes worthy enough to warrant a watch. Its actually kung fu which alone makes it worth it to me.

YOOO tell me you’re watching Cobra Kai too

It was great to see how much you enjoyed this. Yes, it ended abruptly. I recommend watching the next one asap. It picks up immediately from the end of this one.

Watched this in the theater back then word spread of how good this film was and it stayed playing at the theaters for months

I liked the 2010 one.

Please do karate kid 2

This is a father & son movie. One of my favorites. A classic for all time.

the best line in the movie is right after he catches the fly with the chopsticks "Beginner luck" lol

I've been train martial arts since I was 3. It's my first love.. I'm almost 32 now so I've studied and trained for about 29 years now. People I train with would call me a 'karate genius' my surperiers call me a young master. You asked if when Miagi taught Daniel basic movements and blocks using manual labor was the way to teach... The short answer is yes... it's a way to teach.. but there are an infinite amount of methods to teach the same thing. Martial arts is in everything we do. From the way you treat people and see life.. to the way work, sweep up the floor, paint the fence.. and also it's in the way you fight. Fighting is about maybe 15-20% of what martial arts actually is. In simplest terms it is a system of thought.

Cobra Kai is all about Johnny and Daniel as adults. Same actors. I'd say watch the 4 Karate Kid movies with Pat Morita, then move on to Cobra Kai.

"His lessons translate into every aspect of life"- that's karate

This is a childhood favorite of mine, and a beloved film of my whole family's. Everyone I know has some fond memory of _The Karate Kid._ Mine involves recreating the crane technique on the playground, my mother had a crush on Ralph Macchio back in the day, my dad finds it an inspirational film from his youth, but if we are all united on one thing, it is a love of Mr. Miyagi. I think only Forrest Gump comes close in being as beloved of a character as Pat Morita's iconic role. It is a defining performance in cinema that transcends the movie. We remember "wax on, wax off" of course, but we mostly remember his kindness and strength, and not just in karate. This is more than a film, it is as Mr. Miyagi says of karate, a "lesson for whole life".

The 2010 Karate Kid is good too!

@@TheChessicfayth Yeah. People put a lot of hate on the film because of their passion for the first one, and for the Cobra Kai series, it's very strange. She can watch them all, it's really good. In some countries, including Brazil, the 2010 version is even better known

Seen this a dozen times. Something I never noticed: Daniel chooses the yellow car. The keys have Mr.Miyagi's dog tags on them. You could assume that the car was also Miyagi's favorite, but he gave it to Daniel anyway.

I grew up repeating all those New Jersey is the armpit of the United States, but I finally drove through it and realized it wasn't that bad, at least along the I-95 corridor.

Yes, watch the film with Jackie Chan, please, even if they tell you otherwise. Many are in love with the first one because it's a classic, and it's understandable, it really is very good. As a result, they end up putting a certain amount of hate on the newer version. However, I'm sure you'll like the 2010 one, especially how evil the villain is and also the soundtrack. And the fight choreography is exceptional. Many people will also want to watch the reaction. Here they will tell you to skip the 2010 one, as most fans of the classic will complain about the current one. However, when you post the reaction of the current film, the algorithm will bring up people who love this film, which is also very good and underrated. You will not regret.
