PART 2: • Karate Kid (1984) - Th...
Take a look behind the scenes of one of America's CLASSICS. Daniel LaRusso, played by Ralph Macchio, shares some intimate insight behind this story, how it came about, and how he developed into his character with Mr. Miyagi, played by Pat Morita.
PART 2: ua-cam.com/video/nuJjBigvBNM/v-deo.html , for those who've inquired.
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.
Ralph has done a good thing for Pat in this. Laying a groundwork for his legacy.
This is why Cobra kai is so special to fans

3:30 *Mr Miyagi spirit*
Cobra Kai is GARBĀGE.
@@theconsciousobserver6829 but yet it's the best show on Netflix with amazing writers. Whoever wrote Cobra Kai is a genius but it's fine keep being in denial😂😂😂
@@theconsciousobserver6829 I watched the first 3 or 4 episodes and trash talked it too. But then one day I was bored and watched the next few episodes & was blown away. It’s not award winning TV, but it’s fun for fans to watch. Even if you hate it, it’s fun to watch bc it’s cheesy and the bad kind of good (like KK3).
I love that Pat calls him “Ralphie” 😭 I’m sure others did too, but when he says it, it just feels special
🙄
Nowadays, William calls him that too.
@@moonmoon2479 R.I.P. Mr Miyagi/Pat *Morita*
"one was the strawberry shortcake and the other was the cannoli" lmao that's golden
Why does he have his shirt off on the beach meeting with these young actors in his apartment lol smdh...this dude seems creepy
Ralph was the balloon, Pat was the string. Not sure if this is a good analogy.
i just laughed at that!! was thinking the same thing!!
When Pat does the Myagi voice, it’s like he turns into a completely different person. It’s so weird. Such an iconic role man….
Pat and Ralph were cast perfectly, perfectly. 👌
It amazes me still to this day that it took Ralph like 30 years to look like he just got out of his late 20's.
It amazes me how Terry Silver looks like his grandfather today, when Ralph Macchio is a year older than him.
@@simplyjuannie5128 4 months or so older
It amazes that Billy Zabka’s voice is so deep now compared to this documentary
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.
I don't know if he was outshone by Thomas Ian Griffith or if it's age, but I ended Cobra Kai season 4 thinking he was kinda limited.
@@darthmong7196 he's in his 70s and took a back seat to Silver in season 4, he's still very good.
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.
You can definitely feel Pats presence and portrayal as Myagi in the Cobra Kai series. Without a shadow of a doubt.
His shadow looms large
@@greatest_bumble_bee_dude are u good?
@@TheRealRip-Tide he's crazy
@@greatest_bumble_bee_dude calm down what
The scene when Daniel realised that he was being taught karate; “show me wax on wax off…HYAAIT!!”
Gives me chills every time…
Does Cobra Kai do justice to this
@@theconsciousobserver6829 hmm not exactly, I guess they did the best they could but the original is the original!
@@wajjidmahmood452 yes it does.
@@theconsciousobserver6829 absolutely
@@wajjidmahmood452 when miyagi and Daniel got married was the best moment
Pat was an amazing performer, he just nailed it, was Oscar worthy IMO
Rest in Power, Pat!

Absolutely.
No
I was fortunate to be friends with Rob Garrison ( tommy ),in the 90's in Hollywood. What a great human being. His Iconic saying, "put him in a body bag" will live forever. May he RIP, taken from us waaay too soon. We love Ya Rob.
that's amazing! yes, RIP, :( Do u know when this behind the scenes was made, btw?
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."
I absolutely grew up with the original Karate Kid ❤.x
i love that William basically just said the plot for Cobra Kai in one sentence
Wax on/wax off was pure storytelling genius
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
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.
When I saw him in Fresh Prince, I immediately said, “woah, where’s the accent?”
Lmfao he didn't, did you see him in happy days.
I love that Pay calls Ralph “Ralphy” It gives my a father son vibe to their relationship and I love it.
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.
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.
Thanks for watching! Please share & subscribe! 😊
That was a sad scene
M-i-y-a-g-i
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.
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.
Amazing how at this point of filming this, none of them knew they'd be back for Cobra Kai.
"One was a Strawberry short cake, and the other one was a Cannoli..." 😂
Marone, che bruto! 🍝🤌
😭🤣
Show me sand the floor.. is one of the most iconic moments in the history of cinematography.
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..
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
Wax on, wax off. Wax on, wax off. Wax on, wax off. Wax on, wax off. Wax on, wax off. Wax on, wax off. Wax on, wax off.
Whenever Miyagi's theme hits in Cobra Kai 😥

Bill Conti!!
Thank you, Mr Morita.
The casting manager for this should get a raise. Legenday.
This is still my all time favorite movie. I was sooo in love with Ralph Macchio. He was my first crush. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Seeing this open at the theatre as a 12 years old martial arts kid that summer was a once in a lifetime experience.
Martin Kove himself already menacing in this interview. I'm confused AF whether he's Martin Kove or John Kreese
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.
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.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. He looks like a slightly younger version from Cobra Kai.
40 now and i still follow miyagisms, especially balance in life
This movie is a Masterpiece.
What i love about this is they had NO IDEA what was to come, and quite possibly how much bigger things were going to get.
Pat was born to play mr Miyagi
The karate kid is the most memorable movie from my childhood
Samee I have a poster in my room ever since
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
Without Ralph this film wouldn’t be remembered
Almost the best ensemble of actors in a classic, hero story-driven film ever that reached such a massive audience.
This is AWESOME. Hearing the actor's and director's experiences makes this even better.
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.
Saw this for the first time 38yrs ago.
Hey Hey, Mr. Miyagi … look …. Look.
That look on his face . Loooool 😂
The part starting at 3:25 with Pat Morita talking about his Miyagi character emerging gives me chills (then a giggle at 3:50)...love so much ❤
I loved this movie! When Cobra Kai came out and Daniel dressed in his outfit for the first time, I cried...
It's so amazing seeing these actors who we thought were done, be in the massive success that is cobra kai today
I think Cobra Kai is the best show ever made it is beyond amazing I used to think breaking bad was the best but it is not a patch on Cobra Kai
I admired Mifune Toshiro, one of the greatest japanese actors ever. But I'm so glad they choose Pat over him. Couldn't imagine Miyagi being played by someone else.
Mifune's miyagi would've been more threatening than kreese lol
@@anthonycarlisle6184 haha, good point.
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
Incredible movie, that paved the way for an even more incredible TV series.
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.
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
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.
This is my all time favourite movie 😊😊
I can't believe that the brilliant Toshiro Mifune was considered for the part of Mr Miyagi. Pat Morita was absolutely perfect for the role though, and the performances by him and Ralph Macchio are what made this film are what made these films so great (as well as the music and direction etc). The supporting cast were fine also.
This is such a quaint view of bullies today. Now you hear story after story of the bullied kid getting punished for standing up for themselves while nothing happens to the bullies. Excuses are made about their "disadvantaged upbringing" being responsible for their actions and they talk of having symapthy for their socioeconomic status. And while the kid who spent a year getting shoved into lockers and spit on spends a week at home on suspension, the bullies return to class immediately to continue being disruptive problems because suspending them would "only put them further behind in their studies." This movie is about a California that doesn't exist anymore. But it's a glorious time capsule of the greatness of what once was.
And this movie doesn't get enough credit for being about fatherlessness and how boys need a strong male figure to guide them. It's really the heart of the movie. Our hero and the antagonist are both young men without a father who have these surrogate fathers molding them into their idea of becoming a man. Their values are different but their methods don't actually vary much from the other, being former soldiers both have a code that values discipline and hard work. But Kreese's idea of honor and pride are warped and lack compassion and the behavior of his students reflects that. You see a lot of that "death before dishonor" mentality in the fragile egos of young fatherless boys raised by single mothers who are emotionally driven. We need more young men to be taught that being disrespected doesn't always mean you must avenge your honor in battle and that the heroic thing is actually walking away and not fighting. Though the second film probably covers that concept better than the first, as the first was more about how sometimes you have to stand up for yourself. But the essence is there, very early on Miyagi teaches Daniel that fighting should be avoided at all costs and the martial arts are a purely defensive concept.
All that said, I wonder if Miyagi ever learned why he had to save Daniel that night after the dance...
All time classic movies and one of the best shows ever came from this franchise
As a Kurosawa/Mifune fan, I'd LOVE to see the screen tests of Toshiro!
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.
Danny Kamekona would have been interesting 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 🙏👌😭
just started watching Cobra Kai again. So good! Thank you for reprising your roles.
I resaw the Karate Kid films after Kobra Kai and you can tell the Karate Kid franchise had a ton of heart
These themes are important and many related to this movie... People don't even talk about bullying anymore...
What Kung Fu tv series was to the 1970s. The Karate Kid movie was for the 1980s. Both put martial arts in a positive light. How many millions of people in America and worldwide joined Karate Dojo's after this movie we can only guess at. A charming movie with a good message aimed mainly at teenagers. But anyone of any age bracket can watch and enjoy this movie and its positive message to people to be strong, never give up and fight in the face of adversity.
This was a God Blessed Flim. That all came together at the right time and the right place. and I'm proud to be a young kid to have seen it.
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.
Exactly how I felt when I first started watching ’Cobra Kai’. Keep watching. It is AWESOME! Just finished binging Season 4. You’ll be there soon. lol
Daniel's deliberately written that way at the start to make us sympathise with Johnny more. They're giving Johnny a mountain to climb.
@@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.
@@okezsoke Bobby, you probably mean?
@@theradgegadgie6352 Exactly. But I think at the end, even Johnny respects Daniel and realises how wrong is his master.
Damn Billy Zabka’s deeper voice now in Cobra Kai vs his voice in this documentary are like two different voices.
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.
1:20 "i open my door, and theres ralph.. with an attitude" GOLDEN😭
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.
Brings back memories
Do the crane Danny Boy 😁
Pat was best choice for Miyagi.... Simply perfect.
I remember Daniel son and Mr Miaggi on the show Happy Days.
Daniel san was not there. For sure. I was in school. Pat Morita was the first Arnold.
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
This was Amazing. Thank You!
Thanks for watching! Please share & subscribe! 😊
I don't always wax on, but when I see Elizabeth Shue, I wax off.
RIP Pat Morita
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 !!
Ralph and Billy were so young haha
22 and 19.5 respectfully
Almost like Luke and Yoda.
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.
Excellent choice to get the director of Rocky for this film.
He added a lot to the film with his amazing long one multi faceted shot approach to scenes...he could make any scene memorable
This was awesome.
Afta afta..hilarious man pats a hell of an actor.
I think pat is like the real life yoda😂, by the way billy zabka and martin kove are so underated as an actors! Love cobra kai!
It was awesome!!!Pat yes!!!
How Pat didn't win an award for the anniversary scene where Miyagi talks about his late wife... ill never know.
21:18 is, to me, when Danielson’s respect and love for Mr Miyagi went to the next level.
@21:30 Miyagi teaching his legacy to Daniel.son. :Look eye. always look eye.
Never underestimate comedians. Another instance is michael keaton as batman
Omg. Who else was shocked when they heard the actor who plays Mr. Myagi speak. I had no idea lol!! I thought he actually talked like that 😳
