		The Karate Kid is about a teenage boy, Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio), who moves with his mother from New Jersey to Reseda, a Los Angeles suburb in the San Fernando Valley.
		This "Cobra Kai" dojo is an arguably over-the-top portrayal of a sadistic, macho, and prideful form of martial arts, perhaps a symbolic representation of the "dark side" of martial arts.

		The others kids pretty much ignore him, that is until he talks to the pretty blonde girl that just dumped the school jock, meaning he's about to get his head kicked in.
		The Karate Kid was an enjoyable film in 1984 and even though much about it now looks and feels dated, it is still a good film that should find you cheering for the good guys as intended.
		The Karate Kid is presented in an aspect ratio of 1.85:1 and is anamorphically enhanced.

	Gamerz-Edge - Karate Kid Collection Review (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Previous to The Karate Kid, the representation of martial arts was in the old, mystic Kung Fu series, which chronicled David Carradine as a Shaolin monk that wandered the earth trying to come to peace with nature, and in the chop-saki movies like Enter the Dragon.
		The Karate Kid opened up the American mindset to the truth of martial arts, especially karate, which is a mind of restraint and inner control which originated in oriental families who passed down their knowledge from father to son.
		Because karate was made illegal in Okinawa by the Japanese soon after its inception, the Okinawans passed their art to their children in the form of these dances.

	The Karate Kid DVD Review - MovieWeb
		The Karate Kid was one of the films that I grew up with as a kid because as someone who had experience with bullying I was able to relate to the plight of Daniel Laruso.
		I mean we're expected to believe that a kid, who's only experience with karate is a few picture books, paints a few fences, with no idea why he's doing it until a 10 second explanation at the end, is suddenly able to become a karate champion.
		The Karate Kid is still a very good film even now, but it sadly has been treated to a sub standard disk.

		The Karate Kid was a hugely popular 1984 drama by John G Avildsen who had also directed the original fighting classic Rocky.
		More silly and absurd than either of its predecessors Karate Kid 3 marked the final outing for the "Kid" Macchio (who was now 27) and his mentor, as the youth audience of the day moved away from the desire to be Karate Kids and toward the need to be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles instead.
		Daniel (Ralph Macchio) then becomes the object of bullying by the Cobra Karate students when he strikes up a relationship with the Cobra kai's leader's ex girlfriend (Elizabeth Shue).Mr Miyagi (Pat Morita) teaches Daniel, that karate is mastery of the mind and body and fighting is always the last answer to the problem.

	Mutant Reviewers from Hell do "The Karate Kid"
		The Karate Kid is a movie that will mean something significantly different depending on how old you are.
		The funny thing about this and most other sports movies (and yes, I'm lumping karate into the sports genre) is that the community portrayed is anally obsessed with that sport, and no other.

		There is also a hideously edited version of The Karate Kid which appears on terrestrial British television whereby one minute Daniel is painting the fence and the next he’s practically at the tournament.
		The only thing left to say about The Karate Kid is that under no circumstances should you ever rely on any of the film's moves out on the street.
		Only a handful of the actors were actual Karate practitioners and by his own admission, except for some training for the Karate Kid films, Noriyuki 'Pat' Morita has never formally practiced a martial art.

		In "The Next Karate Kid," the fourth installment in the series, the producers replaced Macchio -- by then in his early 30s -- with another kid struggling against classmates.
		This time, however, the kid was a girl, played by Hilary Swank.

		The Karate Kid is a solid, albeit unspectacular, little sports drama, and it proved to be a HUGE draw at the box office.
		Legend has it that The Karate Kid Part 2 was rushed into production a mere ten days after Part 1 hit the cineplex screens - and judging by the sequel's screenplay, that's not too difficult to believe.
		To quote one of the wise sages who comment at the IMDb, The Next Karate Kid is "the pits." Hilary Swank must cringe whenever she sees the flick pop up on cable; indeed, she's the one thing that makes The Next Karate Kid worth seeing.
