It is hard to explain why this was perfect the way it was. I won't bad mouth the new one it is ok. It is a good movie. But this original first one was a matter of all the right people at all the right time with the right script in the right era with the right music, planets aligning kind of thing! There is just no replacing a classic!!!!
This video makes me smile I love this movie and I only knew about this movie since last year and it will all ways be a bad ass movie I love it so much Macchio is bad ass but Pat Morita was super bad ass in these movies he made the movies good but Macchio made the relationship between them both magical
I wish I could go back in time and watch this on the big screen I was born in 1992 and this came out 1984 and I saw it 26 years after it came out but oh well at lest I saw it and I own it I watch this movie all the time I own the set the 4 film pack
This is one of my favorite movies of the 80's. Ralph Macchio, Pat Morita and Randee Heller were just brilliant. Oh and I loved Elisabeth Shue, especially her character. Unfortunately, nowadays stupid girls prefer brainless muscular ill-bred playboys with rich cars & zero personality. Sad, very sad. The Karate Kid was wonderful and so realistic film! I miss the 80's
I like this movie more then any other movie I have ever seen 1984 Karate Kid my fav movie ever then the 2nd one is my 2nd fave movie of all time then the 3rd and those are my top 3 movies of all time
MMA Most Wanted - The original Karate Kid is 50 times better than that new 2010 Karate Kid crap they are trying to pass off on us. Who is in charge of picking people for the cast..... nepotistic shitheads.....____> 2010 Karate Kid, what a modern Joke!
@mmamostwanted I agree how about infinity times better Ralph Macchio was better then Jaden Smith and Pat Morita made karate way better then it ever was and he is better then Jackie Chan and the new one should be called the kung fu kid the old one was way better here is how I rank them
@Chris82bc The best part of Karate Kid Part 3 is when Mr. Miyagi threw Mike Barnes though the door of the dojo and then took John Kreese and then Terry Silver that was the best part what Daniel part did you like best I like the part when he punched the crap out of Chozen then when he crane kicked Johnny and then the last one was he used Kata and scooped Mike Barnes and punched him in the ribs
@Chris82bc AVGN said that also Terry Silver was bad ass but the best part was when Mr. Miyagi Mike Barnes though the door of the dojo and then took John Kreese and then Terry Silver
Makes me wanna throw on a leather jacket and take a drive down to the fun fair tonight.... of course i'd have to lose a few pounds and shave off my beard first...
Thumbs up. This sound is classic. I love to use these sounds in my Dark Wave Tracks too. The 80´s are the mother of electronic music and mucg better then todays avarage (such as house or minimal)
It's what I love about 21st century technology. I remember listening to this song and liking it back in the 80s, but had no idea who sang and it was never on the radio. It's good to find a little gem of a song like this one........
I remember leaving the theater as a 7 year old pumped up trying karate moves. i still love this movie as a 33 year old, but I don't attempt karate moves. I would probably hurt myself.
You know, I went to see the karate kid in the movies who jayden smith plays. Cute kid and I enjoyed the movie but it doesnt DARE, NOT FUCKING DARE top the original karate kid. I'll always stick to the original thank you.
dude!!! my nana rented this movie for me all the time when i went to her house to spend the night!!! She probably should have just bought it...it would have saved her lots of money!!! LOL!!!!
The new "Karate Kid" film of 2010 is a HUGE insult to the original 80s version with Ralph Macchio and Pat Morita ! It DEFINITELY won't have great songs like this one ! Will Smith's son, Jaden, is so damned annoying ! I can't believe that little piece of crap is in it =O

Just try to ignore that corporate rehash crap (same with their Miami Vice and Transformers rip offs to name a couple of others) and stick with the real good stuff here. As a kid, the Karate Kid was cool to watch to root for Macchio and now as an adult it is still cool to watch to root against Macchio (Cobra Kai rules the universe).
I loved Ali too! Ralph Machio was, is, and always will be The Karate Kid! NOT Will Smith's son! R.I.P Pat Morita, the only Myagi! Cobra Kai's best bad guys! Strike first, Strike hard, No Mercy! The 80's had a certain innocence to it, yet conveying true problems however Hollywood it may have been. I miss it. Karate Kid came out when I was 7.
although hollywood can't make it better, the producer nowadays can't come up with any new material that's worth anything, so they are left to trying to re-invent the wheel, so to speak
Is there anything released by corporati--er, I mean, artists, now that compares with the past decades? (whether it's Starship--"Burn," "It's Not Enough," "I'll Be There," or Iron Maiden "Rainmaker," "Infinite Dreams." Nothing like the late 70's/80's anymore.
Hey Faintimage, FYI Dave did not play all the instruments. I played drums and there was a guitar player and bass player too. Dave did all the vocals, synths, wrote the song and actually produced it too, although the music sup actually got producer credit. Dave also wrote Will You Remember Me.
Such a rare and beautiful tune... Great montage to go with it! I am an 80s baby and love it just as if I were a teenager back then.
