Thist ist just so awesome. For a Karate Kid fanatic like me it's just pure heaven. Thank you so much for sharing this, Mr. Avildsen.

One little question, can you tell me if some of the scenes that didn't make it into the final movie but are present here (like the cafeteria scene, Ali being molested, Daniel trying to convince his mother to sign the All Valley sheet etc.) were shot properly or were they cancelled before the proper shooting started?

[avildsen1221]

@HurtigerHarald Canceled before shooting began. That's the value of rehearsing and shooting the rehearsal and cutting it together before you do it for real. Happy to know you enjoyed it.

[avildsen1221]

You're welcome, indeed. My pleasure.

[avildsen1221]

WITHOUT A DOUBT.

Wow. This was great treat for any fan of Ralph. I had no idea and it's amazing how the the layout of the apartment living room and kitchen were all shot in a studio. Thank you Mr Avildsen for sharing this. I love you Ralph. This shows what a dedicated and hard worker you've always been. You're the greatest.

Wow! I was in grade school when this came out in movie theaters. Its very interesting to see such footage being released since so many of us saw the movie when it came out.

The mom was a good actress.

This is how it's done. Still good to see the same spirit came through in the final product. It took some special real characters to make this movie. I also had a BMX at the time and its interesting to note that the BMX used in the rehearsal isn't the same as the bike in the actual movie. Probably too expensive. It did look good, and of course I got a liitle envious, as I'd had to save all year and in America back then they had greater choice in products like Mongoose etc. Those used to cost $300

john thanks for casting the mother and having her play her part like that!! I think she is the only real truthful mother in fim history! They never show a mother like this.... my mom was like this and allot of my friends mom's were like this! Usually mom's portrayed on film are mean assholes or just stupid, over protective or nosey! The karate kid is the only movie I can think of that shows this style of mom!! Which is most moms from the 70's & 80's.

This is why this movie is one the best ever.... you at the detail!! Most wouldnt film basically the whole movie in rehearsal! Amazing stuff!

If they were caught on tape, do you know if there are any plans to include them in some kind of Extended Version/Director's Cut or even to put them online as well? Would love to see them! Thank you again.
