Add the one with Hillary swank. I think she's going to added to cobra kai now that she's had her babies. It was a huge part of the miyagi universe.

In real life, Pat Morita (Mr. Myagi), Ralph Macchio (Danny), and William Zabka (Johnny) did not know any Karate. They were all taught their moves for the fight scenes, but had no extensive training. Martin Kove (Kreese) who played the teacher of the Cobra Kai school was a trained martial artist, and helped coordinate the fight scenes.

Fun Fact: Ralph Macchio actually got the yellow car after filming... and he still owns it to this day! He even brings it back for the show "Cobra Kai" Still looks amazing!

I saw that a few others have mentioned Miyagi's MoH award and his other infantry-related awards, but I'm not sure if you caught this nuance. The scene where Miyagi is wrecked on the drunk juice also subtly tells you that his pregnant wife was interred at Manzanar, which tells you SO MUCH about his character. Even though his country's government locked up his wife for no other reason aside from just being of Japanese heritage (along with approximately 120k other Japanese-Americans), he still joined the military to defend it, and did so to the utmost of his ability. I love the choice to show, not tell, that part of his story, and not be ham-fisted about it. It's a beautiful filmmaking choice that makes a hard statement and doubles the impact of it by not devaluing by being preachy with it.

The moment when Miyagi shows Daniel-san how everything he's been doing comes together is one of the most iconic moments in movie history IMO. And yeah, William Zabka - Johnny - play his part SO well, without getting into spoiler territory, the Cobra Kai TV series REALLY shows how good he is in the role. I also love that this movie doesn't play Miyagi as a stereotypical one-note character and that they take great effort in making him an actual person.

An added layer to Danny's training is, since it was learned by physical labor, him setting the improvement of Miyagi's house is a direct reflection of Daniel's growth and serves as a reminder of how far he's come. It's one of the reasons Miyagi gave Danny the car he worked hard to clean and wax.

I was 13 when this movie came out and we went and saw it twice. Both times, with that final kick, the theatre just roared with an incredible surge of energy. Everybody was halfway out of their seats cheering and laughing and clapping. It's been many years and I have seen thousands of movies since then but never experienced anything quite like that communal rush.

This movie meant so much to us 80s kids. We all wanted our own Miyagi. We all felt that we could overcome our problems. There was an NES games, it was fun but near impossible to beat.

Lmao that sneaky intro into the wine sponser.

If you liked the first one, you will LOVE part II. One of my favorite sequels ever.

Back before 'Meme' was a term, every single kid was doing crane kicks because of this movie.

Really fun reaction. Altaf had me cracking up with his impression of Miagi being a con man.

This is my favorite reaction for this I’ve ever seen. You guys don’t talk over important parts, understand what point is getting across, and had genuine joy for the movie.

The soundtrack while Daniel is practicing/training alone with the lighting makes that scene amazing.

My favorite thing about this film is the realism of the fight scenes and how the camera stays stagnant during them! the quick matches and inital awkwardness of the tournament fighting was so refreshing to see among the highly-choreographed, high-action sequences we're used to today

Daniel LaRusso is kinda the villain too. He picks a fight with Johnny, in an argument that wasn't his (Johnny -was- handling it poorlty), in which Johnny doesn't strike, instead dodge/tripping TWO blind charges and then finally fighting back. when Daniel commits to attacking. Daniel then gorilla pounds another for a legal, if unnecessary leg scissor in soccer. At least a month goes by after the hill push after visiting Cobra Kai, and Daniel re-starts the feud at the Halloween dance. Then when Miyagi gets the truce he proceeds to use it to pick on Johnny at school. Much of Daniel's problems wouldn't have happened if he hadn't picked fights or perpetuated them

This is by far my fav reaction from you guys! I grew up on these movies and they mean so much to me. Ralph Maccio actually went to my high school. Please watch the rest. KK2 is great, KK3 is a coke fueled car wreck but if you guys are ever gonna watch Cobra Kai you need to watch it.

It's honestly really nice to see people react so positively to this movie. I can understand why people think it's cheesy, but that doesn't make it a bad movie. Seeing it through your eyes really made me appreciate the performances and certain moments more. I'd be very interested in see you react to the other Karate Kid movies (maybe some Cobra Kai if you enjoy the movies?) to see if your opinion holds, as consensus suggests there are diminishing returns to the sequels as they go on (an assessment I personally find only occasionally true) but my family has a soft spot for this movie, and as a kid called Daniel who did karate of course I got called Daniel-san a bunch. I didn't get to best my bullies when I was in school so I'll always find the movies cathartic. I still think the sequels are good too ^_^

Karate kid 2 is also pretty good and worth reacting to!

33:45 “All these actors must have trained hard” - The competitor in the tournament who delivered the most acrobatic choreographies with the multiple flying kicks is actually the choreographer and who gave all the basics and training to all the actors.

Karate Kid is a masterpiece that blends action, comedy and drama in perfect balance. The tragic scene of Daniel visiting Miyagi as he is mourning the death of his wife and child in the Japanese interment Camps is what won Pat Morita that part as well an Academy Award nomination (very epic for a stand up comic). Even now his iconic Miyagi character is still seen as the ultimate mentor and greatest teacher.

So a lot of people miss this detail but Mrs. Miyagi doesn't just die in childbirth (with the baby) but it is in a Japanese Internment Camp.

It was a shameful period for our country but even more so that a us soldiers family was not exempt from this treatment.

All I am saying about that "get him a bodybag" scene, is that if you are going to watch Kobra Kai (series), eventually that will take a whole new meaning. When you see it, you will know the grim of it. Nuff said.

The late John G. Avidsen (Oscar-winner for Rocky, 1976) directed the first 3 films of the franchise. I was 4 years old when this was released. One of the greatest cinematic experiences i ever had, the 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 Pat Morita as an actor and comedian (Happy Days, Sanford & Son). Such a great performance as Mr. Miyagi and him being nominated for an Oscar was so cool. 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. Wax On, Wax Off.......... Never does that go away. Gotta love it.

"Because, old man? Yeah, no way." You're a YOUNG MAN and you didn't do anything out there! XD That was hilarious!

Remember the Mr Miyagi being drunk scene. They were going to cut that for time. This is what got Pat an Oscar nomination. I cry every time I see that. Glad they kept it

Really great movie. I personally like the part 2 A little more, even though there’s less actual Karate, but a big focus on Miyagi and his past/present.

You guys need to KK part 2… it is also great!!!!

It was so neat to see a reaction from someone who hadn't seen the movie before. Just wanted to throw in that my favorite referee, the tough guy who told the Cobra-Kai bullies to "get out" and leave Daniel alone before the tournament, actually choreographed the karate for the movie. A black-belt himself in the Korean Tang Soo Do-style of karate, Grandmaster Pat E Johnson, unbeknownst to most people, was for many years a close colleague of Chuck Norris. He was the captain of Norris's competition team.

Always loved how she literally says “You can’t strike to the head” & then he somehow wins by doing exactly that 😂

This just popped up on KZread as a recommendation, no idea why, but this was great! The reaction humor is hilarious, and great observations. Super entertaining, thank you.

Pat Morita, who played Mr Miyagi, also starred on the TV version of MASH. He played an officer in the US army. Mako, who starred in Conan the Barbarian as the wizard, was first cast to be Mr Miyagi. Pat came in right before they started filming and blew them away.

Even though the Karate fights become repetitive in this franchise, Cobra Kai is still worth the watch.

One of your best reactions, I love how you come up with your own little skits in parallel

4:24 you mean a hero’s entrance!

I didn’t notice the split diopter in this one until you guys pointed it out. I always loved this movie as an example of a perfect 80s script-like Back to the Future and Die Hard. But I missed how good the camerawork is. A lot of static long shots, and a few good oblique high angles, too. Restrained and assured.

What really would have completed the “shower” Halloween costume would have been the wearer(Daniel) decked out in only a towel around his waist (shorts underneath, obviously) and a pair of shower shoes. Oh, and a plastic shower cap! Maybe even soap-on-a-rope hanging from his neck!

One parody that almost ruined karate kid was when family made a quick cut away to Miyagi and Danny. And everytime Danny bring up a problem, Miyagi would say "Miyagi fix". When Danny went to Miyagi about having erectile dysfunction, Miyagi Sayyid he fix while rubbing his hands together. I nearly lost it I was laughing so hard

This movie isn’t about fancy fighting choreography but the beautiful teacher student relationship

Mr. Miyagi played by Pat Morita also had a comedic role in the tv show Happy Days. He was the cook at the diner that the high school kids frequented.

LOVED this reaction guys! It was so sincere and wholesome…I thoroughly enjoy watching that with you! 🤗

The drunk scene with Mr. Miyagi was filmed but the film company didn’t want that scene in the movie. The writer and director fought to have it in the movie because it is a good story of Mr.Miyagia. They listened and kept it for the film

Daniel is 100% the villain of this story, him an his psycho teacher who likes to beat up kids 😂

Love Karate Kid! Glad you guys enjoyed it. Def recommend the second one if you guys are into it.

Mr. Miyagi's character was part of the 442nd Infantry Regiment, they were an infantry unit made up of Japanese-Americans. When the war first broke out Japanese Americans were initially categorized as 4C (enemy alien) and therefore not subject to the draft. The US Government also intern Japanese-Americans in interment camps out of racist fear of saboteurs. But as the war dragged on there was a need for manpower so they created the unit to fight on the European Front. The majority of the unit was made up of volunteers from the Internment camps. The unit's motto was "Go for Broke", because for them they weren't just fighting for country but to prove that they and their families were just as American as anyone else. The 442nd Regiment would go onto be the most decorated unit in U.S. military history. To add to the context of the movie Mr. Miyagi's wife and daughter died in the interment camp while he was fighting in the war.

It was either out or racism, or out of fear of saboteurs, or perhaps some of each -- it wasn't out of racist fear of saboteurs. While FDR clearly saw no need to comply with various laws during his presidency, the fact of the matter was that Japanese-Americans who did not consider themselves loyal citizens of the USA were helping with the Japanese war effort. Some were passing on information on the status of military units. A small battle you probably never heard of was fought on one of the Hawaiian islands (right after the attack on Pearl Harbor) between ethnic Polynesians and their ethnic Japanese neighbors. One side took the downed pilot prisoner, while the other was trying to help him escape and return to his unit. So, not saying it was right - just that there was more to the story than most people know - and it wasn't just because of racism on the government's part. The more truly ironic thing about Mrs Miyagi's internment was that if she was from Okinawa, the Okinawans were not considered Japanese, and the Japanese looked down on her even more than the Americans did. They were very racist at the time.

Saw this movie at the drive-in theater when it came out. There's a funny video on KZread that suggests Daniel is the bad guy, and it actually provides a pretty good argument.

You guys mentioned that it's framed like "Mortal Kombat". The Kobra Kai sensei Kreese actually yells "Finish him!" right before the Crane Kick, which is where Mortal Kombat gets that from.
