I watched this in 1984 with my brother in the thatre. He was mentally challenged and later died in a car accident but when "Daniel" won the tournament, he stood up and yelled "YEAH" in front of the whole audience. Everyone cheered. Ill never forget that for the rest of my dsys❤
Hearing about how well Pat and Ralph meshed during filming is heartwarming and yet sad too now that Pat is no longer with us. I can tell every time in Cobra Kai when Daniel is reminded of Mr. Miyagi, that's not just acting. Ralph is thinking about Pat.

17:04 Pat Morita looked so sagely during this interview compared to his younger self as Mr. Miyagi in the tetrology. And I think it's sweet how he referred to Ralph Macchio as "Ralphie."
Martin Kove is among the most underrated great actors. The entire cast has evolved tremendously as actors and friends since these movies. I hope the writers of Cobra Kai are getting paid well because they are making the best show with a cast of great actors.
Idk, show was cool first season or two, felt like a homage. Then it got a little popular & got weird fast. This was about the hill valley tournament, not them going to mexico to rescue a girlfriend's kid, highschoolers having keggers, & whatever else they're trying to push in coming seasons.
@@anthonycarlisle6184did you watch the other two karate kid movies? He fought Japanese gangsters and a pro kickboxer. Nothing in the show is that far from the movies.
Anyone else come back to this video every few years just to hear Pat Morita do the Myagi voice? Such a great performer. No way that movie works with anyone else on the planet in that role.
Northern Ireland, 1984, middle of a civil war the Irish troubles, growing up around bombings every bloody day - Me, 5 years old at Primary school doing crane kicks in the playground, along with all my other classmates. 2022, peace in Ireland, 42 years old, still doing crane kicks and loving Cobra Kai.
There have been reboots, remakes and next generation stories throughout film and television history. Out of all the ones I've seen, Cobra Kai does the best job of keeping the foundation of the original three films of the eighties and then building upon them NATURALLY. Lucasfilm should take note. THIS is how you do it. They kept the original characters authentic, they made stories for the fans, and all of the characters played real roles; no token characters. This is by far the best installment of any movie franchise. The script is tight, no wasted time. What seems like subtle mentions are actual build-ups that turn out to be believable twists. And it's all done with precise timing. Great character development and you get to see both sides of the coin this time, improving on the original storyline. Absolutely stunning.
Loved the film as a kid,shared it with my boy a couple of years back,n now I get to sit n watch cobra kai with him. Honestly makes me happy every day..
The absolute best scene ever was in part two when Daniel was comforting myogi on the beach explaining to him his feeling towards his own father when he died and how Daniel felt guilty he didn’t do everything in his power to make it right with dad before he did.the sheer emotions from that scene and myogi shedding a tear tugs at your heart.
No other movie In my lifetime has been quoted more then this franchise...tons of life lessons ,written beautifully..actors where cast perfectly ...migayi, Daniel, the cobra kai ,Johnny, kreese ,the musical score all just perfect
This is Amazing RIP Pat Truly a LEGEND Who we all Love and will Always Miss Wish he was here for Cobra Kai but his Spirit is definitely within the show
We make fun of it now but in America for kids in 1984 it was magical and stuck with them...it is stupid but kids bought into the magical element of it hook line stinker cause the film took it seriously...and built it up through daniel getting upset and how it felt like he was just using the kid and the fact he told him to never question his mentorship...it's not believable but it's inspiring
My bullies at school didn't do karate. The guys who did karate knew that being a bully was not cool. I did karate, and once I had to defend myself, I wasn't bullied anymore.
Tearing up a bit just reading the comments as I watch the vid and remember how into the whole series I was as a kid. Great to see that the film touched folks here in different ways, perhaps, while uniting all its viewers as lovers of a great film.
While the voice and speech is iconic and standout, I just love how Pat's whole aura immediately sinks into Miyagi here. In the eyes, it's like looking at a different person.
Yeah I know same here, when I first seen him on Happy Days, I was like, this is Mr Mr Miyagi from the Karate Kid? Totally different personality and character, he really showed how great an actor he was.
I loved this movie as a kid. My sister and I used to watch it all the time. I thought she was into karate like me, but I found out years later she had a big crush on Daniel/Ralph. She liked that he was so polite and was good at soccer lol.
Being a young kid at that particular time was so incredible. There was so much going on back then and I was a skinny little sponge soaking it all in! So much great stuff going on with so many awesome influences. But This one right here took the cake! I mean it really did take me to a place that’s hard to describe. Karate kid influenced me in such a powerful way! Certain movies make you feel a certain way like after watching saving Private Ryan, I felt very thankful for living in the greatest country but also more importantly I felt great love and respect to all the men and women who fought and died or are still alive! But karate kid was something of empowerment and reaching the pinnacle of achieving greatness through the cutting knives of fearless resolve and courage. Daniel son was who you aimed and wanted to be but Mr. Myogi was my HERO! He was the greatest and there will never be another. He stepped into that role like Val Kilmer did with becoming Jim Morrison in the Doors movie. But really this movie was incredible and will live in a special place in my heart. Long live the Karate kid!!!!
As someone who's seen every episode of Cobra Kai, i didn't quite realise just how much it lifts from the films, right down to Kreese's dialogue like the "open season" comment. I really should've watched the films first lol.
They lift a lot from the films cause its an homage show...something that changed lives...inspired so many kids...the classic lines are why its quoteable and rewatchable...the script is genius
Cool brought back many memories tears of joy watching loved Karate kid movies love hearing the background to the filming from the actors of the films awesome thank you
If Toshiro Mifune was casted as Mr Miyagi, He would have been a samurai Mr Miyagi who would have been more serious, and the film would have been more darker Pat Morita was more jokey, and made the film fun.
This is one of my all-time favorite movies, for personal reasons. Having been bullied primarily by two people for years in school (amazingly by one kid who looked almost identical to Johnny), I felt a strong connection with Daniel, and daydreamed of doing what he did. Now?...I can't believe I'm saying it, but having just started watching Cobra Kai, Daniel seems like a dick, and I find myself almost liking Johnny. I'm only on episode 1, so...maybe this will change.
@@theradgegadgie6352 And it is a way smarter thing to show a world where not everyone is good or bad. Although there were some after all "good" kids among the bullies in the original movie too.
I’m 42 and I still watch it like it’s my 1st time … I own it ,I own all of them & my wife is amazed how I find it everyday by accident and I’ll leave it on and watch it like it’s my first time and she’ll say but don’t you have it and I’ll say yea And 🤫 it’s the best, I relive my childhood every time 🙏👌😭
the fact, even in interviews, Pat could just BECOME Mr. Miyagi with such little effort. Those are the best characters....the ones who just appear when requested by the actor
Its so weird seeing WIlliam Zabka in this "in between phase" during interviews before Cobra Kai but after Karate Kid. He's so iconic in both roles, the 90s sucked for these guys.
Me too! It doesn't surprise me about Mifune that he acted like that. He did have a sense of humour on screen, but in a more masculine way. Pat Morita had that softer presence about him that made it easier for him to play that fatherly role that the character of Daniel needed. He could be mellow, but knew when to get serious.
I am so glad of this special slice of Nostalgia. Usually it’s a one off thing but to now have these great series back, man it’s so cool. Both my kids grew up the originals and now we watch the new stuff together too!! Special shout out to The Last Dragon which is shameful how new sequel was ever made. Maybe this is the time to capitalise on that mistake. Who would make a new Bruce Leeroy Green and the magnificent Shogan Of Harlem. Sho Nuff, Who is the Master !!
Exactly ' totally amazing..great.. writers..great actors..great movie making..Micheal j were the other guy we all adored and respected & Ralph macchio were the guy who transcends boundaries & just showed great humility good nature and loyalty and a need for freindship and bonding was just something beyond anything else..❤❤ Daniel was the real deal & through it all he stuck to it & he gave full commitment..Daniel weren't changing anyone's life or future ..he were just being a kid with a big heart..❤❤such talent in acting roles and action movies..are timeless and beautiful..& so so funny sometimes..great stuff...
20:40. I was googling to see who thought of the idea for wax on wax off, and I finally found out here. Makes it seem like nothing, one of the most iconic phrases in movie history.
Another thing that made the movie so great is a lot of kids back then could relate. Whether its being the new kid in school, first crushes, fighting over those crushes, getting bullied, etc. And of course all us boys in the 80's wanted to be a karate master so we could whip bullies and get chicks.😂
I love watching this almost as much as the movie itself. There's so much kismet that goes in to classic movies. Toshiro Mifune was a legend, the Kurosawa films are among the best ever...but this is an entirely different movie without Pat Morita. Same with Martin Kove and even the Cobra Kai students.
Noriyuki "Pat" Morita would've made 90 this year. Even if he lived to play Miyagi in the Cobra Kai series, I seriously doubt he'd be doing any fight scenes.
This is an insight into the creative process of movie making. Even though making movies is hard work. Its very enjoyable hard work. I can imagine people who worked on this being highly motivated get up early in the morning work till late and gladly make this movie.
A huge part of my culture growing up, when I still went to the theater to see good movies. 12:09 no matter how you try explaining it an adult assaulted 5 juveniles with deadly weapons (his hands and feet)
PART 2: ua-cam.com/video/nuJjBigvBNM/v-deo.html , for those who've inquired.
I watched this in 1984 with my brother in the thatre.
He was mentally challenged and later died in a car accident but when "Daniel" won the tournament, he stood up and yelled "YEAH" in front of the whole audience.
Everyone cheered.

Almost the best ensemble of actors in a classic, hero story-driven film ever that reached such a massive audience.
This is still my all time favorite movie. I was sooo in love with Ralph Macchio. He was my first crush. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
40 now and i still follow miyagisms, especially balance in life
The casting manager for this should get a raise. Legenday.
Incredible movie, that paved the way for an even more incredible TV series.
Amazing how at this point of filming this, none of them knew they'd be back for Cobra Kai.
While the voice and speech is iconic and standout, I just love how Pat's whole aura immediately sinks into Miyagi here. In the eyes, it's like looking at a different person.
after karate kid seeing him in other work, i was shocked that Pat didn't actually speak like that
He was just a good actor and he made Mr . Miyagi believable
He was well famous before KK, in hit TV Show-Happy Days!
Just common knowledge!
Yeah I know same here, when I first seen him on Happy Days, I was like, this is Mr Mr Miyagi from the Karate Kid? Totally different personality and character, he really showed how great an actor he was.

Lmfao he didn't, did you see him in happy days.
