Loveliest thing was when Kreese is being terrifying to Curtis, and then realising he might have hurt him, Martin pops back to apologise! Sign of a great actor, and sign of a genuine nice guy.
Apparently after the movie, a little girl berated him on the plane for his role as Kreese and the mother tried to apologize. Kove told the mother he was flattered by her reaction because it shows that he did a good job with his acting.
@@BeyondtheBacklot Maybe put Martin's name in the title and thumbnail, like the T2 Robert Patrick filming location video. I didn't realize the thumbnail was showing actual new footage of him on first glance.
Wow this was great guys!! I'm still obessed with Karate Kid all these years later.....I was born in 1984, Name is Daniel and my Birthday is 19th December....The date of the All Valley Tournament in 1984 :)
I feel so grateful to have grown up in the 80s - the best era to be a child. And we can now re-live these incredible memories. What a treat to see Martin Kove! And what a gent to take all that time make this video so special. I finally started watching Cobra Kai this week and am now hooked on revisiting all things Karate Kid. GREAT work, guys!
Fantastic video!! I remember being 14 years old, watching "The Karate Kid" in a movie theater, in 1984. The energy inside that cinema was electric. I was hooked. When the credits started to roll onscreen, people jumped up and started doing the "Crane Technique". Such an amazing memory from my teenage years. And now, thanks to UA-cam and great channels such as this one, we can relive these fantastic moments. Thank you and Rock On! =\//-/=🎸🤟
Martin Kove is so awesome. His incredible portrayal is so spot-on, that he makes it so thoroughly enjoyable to hate him as Kreese. But off screen, he seems like such a kind and exceedingly sweet man. A true testament to his acting talent. And what a good sport to reenact old scenes. He does it for the fans. Love him.
Man I lived in Riverside and completely fell in love with this movie and have always loved the Golf and Stuff I'm 47 and this video brought tears to my eyes. Im Such a super fan I decided to subscribe 🙂
Thank you so much for directing me to this fantastic video... You must be so happy to have had and taken advantage of such a wonderful opportunity... It’s so great when hard work pays off and everything falls perfectly into place, and Kove steels the show! Lol!. Again, thank you! 🙏
Martin Kove, you are the sharpest and brilliant actor that I have seen in decades in my whole life, your art help us to enrich our childhood and teen ages, and you are a outstanding person, thanks to be part of my childhood, and I want thank you guys, from beyond the backlot, to have made possible to learn more about our lengedary actor!!!! Cheers mates from Brazil!!!!!
give-me-sixty-pushups-on-your-knuckles : *do only 15 push-ups and then gets up* Kreese : You! give-me-sixty-pushups-on-your-knuckles : YES SENSEI! Kreese : Why are u only do 15 push-ups and not 60 HUH?!!?? give-me-sixty-pushups-on-your-knuckles : I'M SORRY SIR I THOUGHT YOU SAY A QUARTER OF IT Kreese : ugh
This was so awesome. Great job guys. The Seven Seas is still around! I can’t believe that. It’s awesome you got Martin Kove to be in this. Good sport he is.
This was so enjoyable to watch, I was literally rolling with laughter hehehe Being my favourite movie series of all time, I can't get enough of it. I've probably watched each movie over four hundred times each. And no matter that I have the DVDs, and several at that lol, I watch them every time they air on television, without fail. Between your boom guy cameoing in the funniest way to the superb and awesome Martin Kove, I'm glad I saw this. I had no idea that most of the stuff is still there to see, even Lucille's restaurant next to the dojo is still the same. Thanks for creating this brilliant series. You're all a lot of fun.
A++++ work. One of those movies that we loved in the 80s, laughed at in the late 90s, forgot about in the 2000s, and will treasure for the rest of our lives. Golf and Stuff and Kove, pure gold.
totally awesome! would love to visit those locations! I'm here in GA where they filmed some of cobra kai and my daughter and i are going to make a day visiting some of the filming locations!
Love the new Cobra Kai series with many of the original actors. How cool is that to hang out with sensei from your favorite childhood movie 35 years later.... man!!!
I was born in 1977, so I was a kid for the whole 80's and after watching this I wish I could be in the 80's again. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Awesome! And it was. He was a class act. Can't wait to bring you back to more of your favorite movies. Check out our other On Location episodes! And more content to come :)
I saw Karate Kid in theaters in 1984 I was 11, still one of my favorite movies of the 80s. Great job love film locations. It was great to see Martin Kove.
Bro as a super fan you just made my day. Thank you for the great video. So freaking awesome. You should do more with the other characters of cobra kai also. That part with kreese is the most best . to see him actually back at the original dojo in 30 yrs u brought us super fan that moment. So epic. Thanks man
Yeah I watched The Karate Kid & Sidekicks a bunch of times, cool to see the actors reminisce. Flight of The Navigator & Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure would be a cool movies to see film locations
Wow I remember when it came out in the theater what a blast from the past and just a movie that is timeless .. THE FIRST AND ONLY KARATE KID IN MY BOOK AND CAN'T STOMACH THE REMAKE!... GOOD STUFF BROUGHT ME BACK TO THE 80S AND WHAT GOOD GUY sensei kreese was good to see he appreciated the love.
Meeting Mr. Kove and visiting the dojo was certainly surreal! The other locations also brought back nostalgic feelings. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Greatest life lessons film of all time..prob the most important film I ever saw . In the 1980 s as a kid I attended shoot straight basketball camp at Gordon college and the camp director showed us this movie and taught us all lessons from the movie that related to becoming a better basketball player.
SO glad Cobra Kai was made. A guy loses badly in his teens spends the next 30 years living like a low income loser, abandons his son and son's mother but somehow by chance has an opportunity to maybe make it right again and do something meaningful as a mentor/father figure to a poor kid living in socal.
So cool the participation of Martin! I just discovered this channel and being a kid from the late seventies, THIS IS AWESOME! Thank you thank you thank you!
I’ve got the Kreese action figure from the 80s still in package and signed by Marty Kove. “No Mercy”. It’s a constant source of inspiration for me. Thanks for this content !!!
This Just blew me away guys ...... absolutely fantastic. Well done all who made this video. I was just the biggest fan when I was 13 and I watched this from start to finish with the biggest smile on my face. Awsome.
@Fire&Ice909 let see. At the beach Daniel stepped into his business. I know Johnny broke Alli's radio. For 1, Alli was being a prick and escalated the situation with the radio. For 2, Johnny was angry and couldn't control his emotions. Being emotional doesn't make him a bad guy. For 3, Johnny broke her radio (after Alli escalated Johnny into doing it), but Alli was not in danger. It was just a heated argument that wasn't to the point that it needed intervened with. The beach scene was a misunderstanding. Nobody was in the wrong. The soccer scene. Johnny was in the wrong, he told Bobby to trip Daniel. But, Daniel didn't know that Bobby was told to do that. Daniel never talked to Bobby before but still started to pound him just for being tripped. Even though Johnny is in the wrong, this scene still tells a lot about Daniel's poor attitude. The bike scene. Before this scene, Daniel comes into Johnny's dojo after losing a fight to him a couple days prior. Johnny sees this as a threat, so he sends a message to Daniel that he won't tolerate Daniel trying to take his girl, and trying to up his game to fight him again. Nobody was in the wrong here either. Then months go by. The conflict is over. Daniel pours water all over Johnny for no reason while he was on the toilet. Johnny obviously gets pissed off and comes after him. Daniel causes a multi car wreck outside of a school. Daniel is definitely in the wrong. Then he somehow convinces Mr. Miuyagi into thinking that it was Johnny's fault. Then they challenge Johnny to a fight at the tournament. Daniel takes full advantage of this agreement to continuously harass Johnny and make him jealous that he took his girl. Daniel is such a prick, and is again in the wrong. Daniel wins the tournament and Johnny gives Daniel his trophy, showing good attitude, even though Daniel was being a total prick. So yeah. I don't believe either of them are good. Both are in the wrong.
This is awesome! Grew up in the 70s and 80s and Karate Kid was a huge influence on me growing up. Got to see it in the theatre at 13 and my cousin and I have been calling each other Danielson since 1984. Great job!
Beyond the Backlot Will do! I have visited every BttF location w the exception of the Disney Ranch, where the Peabody’s Homestead was and Hill Valley Road in Chino. LOVE IT HAHA. That goes for The Karate Kid as well. I got inside the school!
I was glued to this from start to finish!! Brilliant job guys. (And the cherry on the cake was Mr Kove). Very well done, and thank you for your efforts. All the best guys.
@@BeyondtheBacklot Wow back! Tons of locations here in London! From James Bond and Mission Impossible movies to Harry Potter, Notting Hil, Bridget Jones etc.. Keep in touch! Would love to have you guys around for dinner! anthonylorenzo@gmail.com 😎
HAHA! Right?? That just means he was a masterful actor who played a great villain. In person, he's a kind, insightful, and wonderful guy. A real pleasure spending time with him. Thanks for watching!
This is my new favourite UA-cam channel! As a big film lover seeing these locations in my favourite films and your love for them too makes it brilliant.
Martin appears like a very soft spoken person on interviews. But he still looks/sounds intimidating when in role. When he shifted gears (saying his lines) did you feel intimidated?
This was totally awesome and to get the actual actor to participate at the end made this EPIC! Awesome job and keep educating and showing history! I enjoyed this a lot! Thank You!
Awesome job.I am from Canada,had my friends when in L.A go by a few locations and take pics.The whole movie is a piece of art,Bill Contis score..the shots everything!
@@BeyondtheBacklot I made a comment on John Avildsens UA-cam page under the Ali Daniel audition video and about 4 years ago or so, before he passed and I was lucky enough to get a reply.Heres what I wrote and his reply ....It's too bad the house in Norwalk isn't there,I watch Karate Kid at least once a week for the last 10 yearsI recently got the box set on Amazon to watch in the theatre in my condo and relive how it felt.It's interesting how every time I watch that movie it is through the eyes of myself at 10.,Every picture is a piece of perfect art,the Bill Conti score.I had my friend when in Los Angeles visit the apartment for me in Reseda at South Seas(amazing how the field next to it is still empty) and take pictures at the school.I am from Toronto myself,I wish I knew about the Japanese event,I would have tried to fly out.I love you Mr Avildson.Ty for your genius,your vision and allowing a piece of what you were able to see come into our lives to live on forever in our hearts! 30 avildsen1221 avildsen1221 4 years ago @mike browne Thanks, Mike. Your kind and generous words are much appreciated. 8
@@BeyondtheBacklot Re a location..Maybe First Blood,there was one done I saw but would be fun I think and you guys would put your own unique perspective on it!
that would have been beyond amazing, unfortunately they don't film in southern california. i believe most of the filming is done in atlanta? if i had the money i would buy this place and open up a cobra kai dojo lol.
@George S it was a tae kwon do school i think originally when they used it for the movie. don't know how long the guy stayed at that location. i believe he still runs a school but moved locations obviously.
It would have been oool but as already someone said they are filming in Atlanta now and I actually love the mini-mall situation with the pawn shop, the mini-mart and Homeless Lynn living there.
I remember watching the filming of the scene in the field when Mr. M kicks the shit out of Johnny and his cronies. It was my dad and my dad's friend and his sons, and I, we were walking around the block and came across the filming. We stayed and watched for like an hour to 2 hours.
These are the kinds of things that I stumble upon on UA-cam, which make me glad I stumble upon things at all. Awesome to see the locals, and super awesome that Martin came in to be a part of this too. - And I recently saw that commercial for Quickbooks with 'Koala Kai' - love it.
Had a friend lived in the Seven Seas Apts, they were not changed for the movie. I actually dated one of the Canoga Park cheerleaders that were extras in the movie.
Thanks so much for posting this! I am a superfan as well and traveled from Pennsylvania to CA to see the Karate Kid locations in August 2019. Apparently, just a couple months after this video. I went to all the locations except for the restaurant next to the cobrai kai dojo (actually a different location than the dojo, but you knew that) and where he gets pushed off the bike down the hill. Anyway, So cool to see you in the dojo, when I was there just a couple months later and it was a boutique of some sort. I walked in just to see it and the girl was like can I help you? It was somewhere that I would have absolutely no interest in otherwise, so I said "no thanks!" and abruptly walked out. But anyway, I've wanted to go to southern california and see those locations for forever. what an amazing trip. You really gets a sense of the class divide of ali's house (encino hills was like a paradise to me) and daniels house.
I may be 50 now but watching this made me feel 14 again. The 80s were the best.
That makes us so happy! Glad to bring back the nostalgia of your childhood. That's why we love these movies so much. Thanks for watching!
Its going to be great.
Concordo
@@BeyondtheBacklot Sou do Rio de Janeiro/Brasil. Novo inscrito. Kkkkkkkk. Bom conteúdo didático.
Hell ya 80s and early 90s was the best for sure
Actors like Kove come from a different generation , along with the likes of Stallone , very humble great guys
Man, Kove is a talented dude. He just snaps into character with zero effort. I bought every second of it.
Loveliest thing was when Kreese is being terrifying to Curtis, and then realising he might have hurt him, Martin pops back to apologise! Sign of a great actor, and sign of a genuine nice guy.
Apparently after the movie, a little girl berated him on the plane for his role as Kreese and the mother tried to apologize. Kove told the mother he was flattered by her reaction because it shows that he did a good job with his acting.
Not even surprised he did this..I met Martin about 2 years ago, as nice as can be and he embraces this character...he will die a TRUE COBRA KAI...
He’s epic and seriously the coolest
Martin is such a timeless actor. I honestly don't know how this video doesn't have millions of views.
Fighting for more each and every day. Thanks for watching!
@@BeyondtheBacklot Maybe put Martin's name in the title and thumbnail, like the T2 Robert Patrick filming location video. I didn't realize the thumbnail was showing actual new footage of him on first glance.
Martin Kove seems like such a cool Guy. And someone who embraced and realized his character from a movie of 30 years ago was so iconic.
Yes! He's the man. Thanks for watching!
Wow this was great guys!! I'm still obessed with Karate Kid all these years later.....I was born in 1984, Name is Daniel and my Birthday is 19th December....The date of the All Valley Tournament in 1984 :)
Thats so cool
Martin Kove was such a nice guy to participate in this clip. Much appreciated.
I feel so grateful to have grown up in the 80s - the best era to be a child. And we can now re-live these incredible memories.
What a treat to see Martin Kove! And what a gent to take all that time make this video so special.
I finally started watching Cobra Kai this week and am now hooked on revisiting all things Karate Kid.
GREAT work, guys!
Thank you for the kind words. And yes...Kove is a treasure!
Dude this movie was filmed across the street. It can take me 12 minutes to walk there. I know all of these places! Everyday I drive by these places.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Kool 😎
They got the guy who played cobra 🐍 kai karate group sensei johnny kreese on the set
RickyPez Golf N Stuff is in Norwalk, I doubt you can walk there from any of the other locations
Cool story.
No like his apartment and stuff.
My Granny used to take my cousin and me to Golf N' Stuff in the 80s. Good times. People were simpler and just happier it seems.
We miss the 80s!
It's called childhood. Shit was tough back then too.
Movie characters that frightened the hell outta me when I was younger: Michael Myers, Jason Vorhees, Freddy Krueger, Sensei Kreese
and Dutch...
Damn this was great, I really miss the 80's! :( The best times ever!
The best! Thanks for watching!
Fantastic video!! I remember being 14 years old, watching "The Karate Kid" in a movie theater, in 1984. The energy inside that cinema was electric. I was hooked.

Thank YOU! Glad to have a superfan like you on the adventure with us!
That’s not Miyagi’s apartment. He just worked out of that space. He lived in his house.
Yeah exactly it was a maintenance shed
Martin Kove is so good with the fans. It's great to see how game he was to hang out and play along. What a class act.
Absolutely true! He was amazing. Thanks for watching!
You guys are so lucky to see these places I’m so jealous ... especially being a 6th Dan ... and Mr Kove is a great charter actor
Martin Kove is fantastic! Thank you for joining us on our adventures!
Martin Kove is so awesome. His incredible portrayal is so spot-on, that he makes it so thoroughly enjoyable to hate him as Kreese. But off screen, he seems like such a kind and exceedingly sweet man.

1980's Movies left a lasting impression that will live with me until the day i die.
Amen!
Those 80's soundtracks are masterpieces.
I'm 20 but my dad old school he always telling why the 80s were the best time but man If was his age in the 80s now I understand lol

Wonderful way to put it. It is our pleasure to bring this to you. Thanks for the comment! Cheers to you in Brazil!
Ever notice how the "Give me sixty pushups on your knuckles" guy, does like 15 and then gets up?
🤣🤣
give-me-sixty-pushups-on-your-knuckles : *do only 15 push-ups and then gets up*
Kreese : You!
give-me-sixty-pushups-on-your-knuckles : YES SENSEI!
Kreese : Why are u only do 15 push-ups and not 60 HUH?!!??
give-me-sixty-pushups-on-your-knuckles : I'M SORRY SIR I THOUGHT YOU SAY A QUARTER OF IT
Kreese : ugh
🤣🤣 but Kreese said fall in behind me so he could stop i guess
This was so awesome. Great job guys. The Seven Seas is still around! I can’t believe that. It’s awesome you got Martin Kove to be in this. Good sport he is.
Thanks for watching!!!
This was so enjoyable to watch, I was literally rolling with laughter hehehe

Wooooo Kove never lost it, his acting here is on point! Seems a really down to earth guy, loved the video!

Sure is a dream come true.. so lucky to play those phenomenal scenes with Martin. Can't imagine how that must feel. Wow.

It's hard to believe that Martin Kove was 73 when this was done.
This movie never gets old and each time it’s on tv I stop what I’m doing and watch it
Thanks for watching!
Wow, well down. Awesome that you got Kreese to return to the dojo!
Thank you for watching! He was such a great guy... our absolute pleasure. Please tell all of your friends! :)
Really enjoyed that. Great memories of a childhood classic. Martin seems like a great sport and the guys like 74. Looks great!
Wow that was so cool. I'm glad Martin Kove is still alive and looks well. They should have left the office.

The soccer scene. Johnny was in the wrong, he told Bobby to trip Daniel. But, Daniel didn't know that Bobby was told to do that. Daniel never talked to Bobby before but still started to pound him just for being tripped. Even though Johnny is in the wrong, this scene still tells a lot about Daniel's poor attitude.
The bike scene. Before this scene, Daniel comes into Johnny's dojo after losing a fight to him a couple days prior. Johnny sees this as a threat, so he sends a message to Daniel that he won't tolerate Daniel trying to take his girl, and trying to up his game to fight him again. Nobody was in the wrong here either.
Then months go by. The conflict is over. Daniel pours water all over Johnny for no reason while he was on the toilet. Johnny obviously gets pissed off and comes after him. Daniel causes a multi car wreck outside of a school. Daniel is definitely in the wrong.
Then he somehow convinces Mr. Miuyagi into thinking that it was Johnny's fault. Then they challenge Johnny to a fight at the tournament. Daniel takes full advantage of this agreement to continuously harass Johnny and make him jealous that he took his girl. Daniel is such a prick, and is again in the wrong.
Daniel wins the tournament and Johnny gives Daniel his trophy, showing good attitude, even though Daniel was being a total prick.
So yeah. I don't believe either of them are good. Both are in the wrong.

I was glued to this from start to finish!! Brilliant job guys. (And the cherry on the cake was Mr Kove). Very well done, and thank you for your efforts. All the best guys.
Thank YOU for watching!!
How did you stay so composed this is unreal. My eyes are watering over and over from emotion.
We were as emotional, for sure! Martin Kove was such a pro and gentleman. We tried to rise to the occasion! Thanks for watching!!
Such a GIFT this video! Got goosebumps when you walked into the dojo! Thank you and lots of love from London UK ❤
Wow! Thank you for the kind words! So glad you enjoyed it. We hope to see London soon for some locations. Any recommendations?
@@BeyondtheBacklot Wow back! Tons of locations here in London! From James Bond and Mission Impossible movies to Harry Potter, Notting Hil, Bridget Jones etc.. Keep in touch! Would love to have you guys around for dinner! anthonylorenzo@gmail.com 😎
This is amazing! How is it possible the dojo has not been touched in 30 years? You have just lived my dream.
Crazy, right?? Very glad to be there with Martin Kove. Thanks for watching!
Loved seeing this!! It brought me back to my junior high days as well as a smile to my face. To have grown up in the 80's was truly a special time!!🙂
We miss it! Did you catch our On Location episodes? They are nostalgia at its finest
Awesome Video
I loved this movie and still do! The first one was definitely the best!
"The best...around!" :) Thanks for watching!
When I was a kid, Rambo and Karate Kid made me hate Martin Kove and now it's a joy to see him, ah how times have changed.
HAHA! Right?? That just means he was a masterful actor who played a great villain. In person, he's a kind, insightful, and wonderful guy. A real pleasure spending time with him. Thanks for watching!
@@BeyondtheBacklot Thank you for the video/interview, it put a HUGE smile on my face.🙏🏼
Oh kove was in Rambo I remember him in Rambo but couldn't figure out where I knew him from 😄
Same
@@WMAT77LL yes hes ericson the bastard pilot
This is my new favourite UA-cam channel! As a big film lover seeing these locations in my favourite films and your love for them too makes it brilliant.
Wow - thank you! We will work hard to keep bringing great content. Thanks for watching!
Martin appears like a very soft spoken person on interviews. But he still looks/sounds intimidating when in role. When he shifted gears (saying his lines) did you feel intimidated?
This was totally awesome and to get the actual actor to participate at the end made this EPIC! Awesome job and keep educating and showing history! I enjoyed this a lot! Thank You!
Thanks for watching!
What an amazing video! Need more subs and views
Thank you for the kind words. And please tell all of your friends :) We'll keep bringing you great content!
Awesome job.I am from Canada,had my friends when in L.A go by a few locations and take pics.The whole movie is a piece of art,Bill Contis score..the shots everything!
Thank you! Any location suggestions for the Great White North?
@@BeyondtheBacklot I made a comment on John Avildsens UA-cam page under the Ali Daniel audition video and about 4 years ago or so, before he passed and I was lucky enough to get a reply.Heres what I wrote and his reply ....It's too bad the house in Norwalk isn't there,I watch Karate Kid at least once a week for the last 10 yearsI recently got the box set on Amazon to watch in the theatre in my condo and relive how it felt.It's interesting how every time I watch that movie it is through the eyes of myself at 10.,Every picture is a piece of perfect art,the Bill Conti score.I had my friend when in Los Angeles visit the apartment for me in Reseda at South Seas(amazing how the field next to it is still empty) and take pictures at the school.I am from Toronto myself,I wish I knew about the Japanese event,I would have tried to fly out.I love you Mr Avildson.Ty for your genius,your vision and allowing a piece of what you were able to see come into our lives to live on forever in our hearts!

@@BeyondtheBacklot Re a location..Maybe First Blood,there was one done I saw but would be fun I think and you guys would put your own unique perspective on it!
Police Academy in and around Toronto
Oh, the place is actually empty, could have pick this place as Johnny's Cobra Kai dojo.
that would have been beyond amazing, unfortunately they don't film in southern california. i believe most of the filming is done in atlanta? if i had the money i would buy this place and open up a cobra kai dojo lol.
@George S it was a tae kwon do school i think originally when they used it for the movie. don't know how long the guy stayed at that location. i believe he still runs a school but moved locations obviously.
It would have been oool but as already someone said they are filming in Atlanta now and I actually love the mini-mall situation with the pawn shop, the mini-mart and Homeless Lynn living there.
Kove is the best!! No else could play his character!! Love it!!
Truth! He's awesome.
I remember watching the filming of the scene in the field when Mr. M kicks the shit out of Johnny and his cronies. It was my dad and my dad's friend and his sons, and I, we were walking around the block and came across the filming. We stayed and watched for like an hour to 2 hours.
That is epic! Who knew you’d be watching an unforgettable scene taking place?!
That was so cool of Kove to re act that certain part. He still has that mean saying after all these years. So awesome to see Kove back again.
Many same locations are used on the Cobra Kai series.. still remain the same
Sadly a lot of the series was filmed in Atlanta i believe . They re-created the Golf N Stuff place to look like the original in the movie
Thanks so much for these locations videos! So nostalgic! What an awesome way to go back in time!
merci.from France
These are the kinds of things that I stumble upon on UA-cam, which make me glad I stumble upon things at all. Awesome to see the locals, and super awesome that Martin came in to be a part of this too. - And I recently saw that commercial for Quickbooks with 'Koala Kai' - love it.
Glad you stumbled upon us!
bring on season 3, can't come soon enough
Yes!! Love Cobra Kai
@@BeyondtheBacklot Do the first Terminator movie locations
T1/T2 are on the list
Absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!! The way Martin Kove is able to snap back into character is incredible!!!
Right?? We had chills. So honored to experience that.
Epic!!!
Thanks! This was a fun one to put together.
It looked fun
I was 6 years old when this movie was released in 1984,I really appreciate you making this video,it was awesome 👍💯
Thanks for watching!!
Love watching all these filming locations then and now from movies I grew up watching.
These movies mean so much to us all!
Had a friend lived in the Seven Seas Apts, they were not changed for the movie. I actually dated one of the Canoga Park cheerleaders that were extras in the movie.
Ha! Awesome
Thanks so much for posting this! I am a superfan as well and traveled from Pennsylvania to CA to see the Karate Kid locations in August 2019. Apparently, just a couple months after this video. I went to all the locations except for the restaurant next to the cobrai kai dojo (actually a different location than the dojo, but you knew that) and where he gets pushed off the bike down the hill. Anyway, So cool to see you in the dojo, when I was there just a couple months later and it was a boutique of some sort. I walked in just to see it and the girl was like can I help you? It was somewhere that I would have absolutely no interest in otherwise, so I said "no thanks!" and abruptly walked out. But anyway, I've wanted to go to southern california and see those locations for forever. what an amazing trip. You really gets a sense of the class divide of ali's house (encino hills was like a paradise to me) and daniels house.
These locations are so fun, in large part because they still look so much the same!
How cool.. Martin Kove just walks into the Dojo!! Loved this!!
It was surreal to witness! Thanks for watching!
