It really is. I saw a montage, all about the pop culture of the 80's, it was in a post on Reddit. All the moments...Kevin Bacon in Footloose raising his fist, the Death Star blowing up, Michael Jackson moonwalking, The Police on stage, LL Cool J rapping, and there's the image of Daniel Laruso; wide eyed with the tremble of extreme focus, hands and 1 leg raised in the Crane... It's so awesome :)
This comment was typical of the sychophants that attach to follow powerful others. We saw it again in 'Christine' with the slimy pieces of work that hung around Buddy Repperton.
After I saw the Karate Kid I started parting my hair like Daniel, and I went on to get my black belt. This movie had a big influence on me. Thanks Ralph.
Absolutely epic moment from 80s movie magic. If you didn't see it in a packed cheering theater, you will never comprehend the moment. People totally lost their sh*t at the kick.

I was there with my pops and yes the theater went crazy! They cheered every time Daniel scored a point on Johnny and then erupted when he scored the final point
Moments like this is what movies of the 80s were about. The struggles, the pain. The heart. The respect. Those motivational endings. They just can't seem to write films like this today.
The Karate Kid trilogy was a damn good trilogy, but Cobra Kai was amazing! The final season of Cobra Kai is gonna be amazing! But the fact that Johnny was reluctant to “sweep the leg”, he was losing faith in his Kreese. But then Johnny handing Daniel the trophy and saying “You’re alright LaRouso.”
3:44 The actor Ralph Macchio actually tells really quick to the other one which leg he is going to use for the performance touching it with his hand xD
I saw the movie in the 1980s when i was a kid. My father wanted me to see it as i was being continuously bullied at school. I was training in Tae Kwon Do. He wanted me to see what happens when the 'good guy wins' and gains confidence. I was able to turn it around for me eventually.
At around 2:00, Johnny realizes for the first time that sensei is playing for keeps and this isn't just a game of bullying when he replies "No sensei." The character, for the first time, truly sees this for the evil it's become. Great writing and fantastic acting by Marty Kove and Bill Zabka!
I love this movie.. Rest in peace ..Mr. Miyagi...we couldn't of done Karate kid... Ralph Machio. Your awesome ... Good job.. defeat ..& 🏆 🥇 🏅 winner !!
im thirteen rn, and im extremely thankfull to have parents that dont make me watch the new bullcrap, yes i was born 2011, but i still grew up on this movie, and others like stand by me, ferris bueler, and those are just me favorites
One of my fondest memories was when my Grandma dropped me off at the theater when this came out... What was I, maybe 10? But, it was awesome.. In todays times, I wouldn't leave my kid at theatre.
I have seen some debates about this movie in the comments about the crane kick being illegal and that Daniel was not the first to win the tournament back to back. If you watch the movie, Ali tells Daniel before his first match “ everything above the waist is a point, the head, the sternum, the kidneys, and the ribs”. Clearly the crane kick is to Johnny’s head , so it is legal. Regarding Daniel being the first back to back winner, that is also true. Before the final match, the announcer mentions that Johnny Lawrence is the defending champ and a 2 time winner of the tournament. That language clearly indicates that Johnny won the tournament last year but did not win 2 years in a row, otherwise the announcer would have identified Johnny as the 2 time defending champ not the defending champ. So Johnny ( who is a senior in high school) won last year and lost the previous year and most likely won his freshman year in high school. Therefore , Daniel is the first to win the tournament 2 years in a row.
Also, before this scene, where there's a bunch of smaller matches going on in a montage to 'You're the best', Johnny kicks a kid in the face and proceeds on. So yeah, its legal.
@@kingchrisa4188 Watch the first Karate Kid movie again. The announcer introduces Johnny “ Defending Champion John Lawrence of the Kobra Kai. Two time winner of the All Valley Under 18 Golden Trophy” That means Johnny won the tournament the previous year, but was not a back to back defending champion otherwise he would be introduced as the two time defending champion. He won the tournament twice but not two times in a row like Daniel did
@@josephgallo3241 No actually in cobra Kai, Johnny mentions how he won in 82 against an unknown fighter and in 83, he won without losing a single point, beating his friend Tommy in the finals. So in 84 he was going for his 3rd straight
@@kingchrisa4188 This discussion is about the movies not the kobra Kai series. People asking how Daniel became back to back champions in Karate Kid 3? Clearly pointed in first Karate Kid movie by the match announcer that Johnny was a two time winner of the All Valley Under 18 Karate Tournament . It never mentioned he was a two time defending champion or back to back champion , so Daniel being declared the first back to back winner in KK3 is correct according to the movies. That is what this discussion is about, not the Kobra Kai series. Therefore my point is correct per the movie trilogy that Daniel was the first back to back champion of the tournament!
Daniel's determination and triump, Miyagi's beaming smile at his student, Johnny giving Daniel the trophy himself which proved Miyagi's earlier point to Daniel "No such thing as bad student, only bad teacher." Johnny acted like a punk when his friends were around, but to his core Johnny really was not a bad person.
Johnny was definitely the physically stronger fighter, but there's no hard evidence that he was more skilled, Danny was up 2-0 before Johnny took advantage of the weak leg.
I love the way Mr. Mariga (spelling I am sorry) teaches him by doing chores.... It helped me feel good about whatever I am doing, because it can make me stronger and more focused.
Nobody talks about how fake Daniel’s friends are. They made fun of him when he got beat up by Johnny at the beach, yet they come running up to congratulate him when he wins the tournament 😂😂🤦🏾♂️
The moment Johnny looked back at Creese and stared at Daniel as if he seen a resurrection, he was mentally defeated ..first in the subconscious then the devastation begins

Daniel acknowledging Mr. Miyagi at the end and his approval still brings tears to my eyes.

I had always thought that when I was younger, now I realise that he was still feeling pain after that kick....
My Karate Kid VHS was right next to my E.T. and T.M.N.T
Well he did just get kicked in the face :)
Well he lost his title and being kicked are a double whammy

Best thing about 80s movies - they knew when to end! Just as you're rushing on the high of the final moment. So good.
I remember finding this dvd in the dirt when I was dumping some yard waste and I picked it up. Man what a great movie.

Lots of people cheered in theaters when Daniel won.

My favorite point in the entire movie...Daniel saying "WE DID IT!" and the look on Miyagi's face at 04:56.
My favorite part of the movie too. Just now noticing there was a tear that had already dropped from his left eye. Makes the shot even better.
Mr. Miyagi's proud nod at the end. Still brings tears to my eye. Alot of images remind me of my childhood days of the 80s. That is one of them.
The Radom fan yelling “You’re a cream puff Johnny”…,y favorite moment.
For real loll
Mike Barnes calls him Cream Puff
😂😂
One of the greatest endings in movie 🎬 history 👏
I love how Daniel timed the kick with the stadium music and everything what a legend
As a professional martial arts sensei with 32 years of experience, I can confirm this scene is as real as it gets.
Will you please explain why a punch to the head does not award a point, but a crane kick does?
@@lawman7117 punch to the head can cause more knockouts
No one cares what you think.
You've got to be kidding me LOL...then maybe you are a sensei in a dream world
Under 18 FULL CONTACT competition? GTFOH
the kick will live on forever!
Daniel won the trophy and more important their respect👍
thats why I still like Johnny giving it to him.
great pulsating music when Daniel kicks him via crane
Makes me cry always... 😢

It’s surprising that many karate adults took karate cuz of this movie
it’s so obvious johnny was more skilled and the better fighter. he dominated this fight
Actually he didn't he was getting humiliated before his master told him to sweep the leg.
Johnny was definitely the physically stronger fighter, but there's no hard evidence that he was more skilled, Danny was up 2-0 before Johnny took advantage of the weak leg.
yea, obviously lmao

Life was so good back then.
You could tell when this had been broadcast on TV - the next day at school, all the boys were trying out the crane kick in the playground.

Good point
Indeed
We know Mr. Miyagi is smiling and nodding down at Daniel in the TV show
I’m 52 years old and this is my all time favorite movie, I wanted to dress like Daniel in junior high
What a movie and what a time. When America was once great.
Daniel’s mother NOT stopping this fight is wild!
4:16, 4:19, 4:22 I get chills every single time I come across these scenes
I still remember watching this with sis Carol. That must be 1984??
The 80's were THE BEST!
In 4:57 in miyagis left eye you can see a small tear rolling down his face before it’s cut to black
Wow will never forget that’s at the movies 1984 I believe - Brazil - people left the theatre all excited good memories the 80s
Question……anybody ever noticed Ralph tapping his left leg at 3:45??
Maybe to let Zabka know which leg to go after? 🤔
3:13 I love this part that Daniel throws Johnny down, and Johnny punches his leg which he goes down and Johnny gets back up.
Such an epic moment.
Daniel vs Johnny the match for the ages
When myagi gives the head nod
PRICELESS
Man cobra Kai is amazing show, crazy to think it wouldn’t have existed if it weren’t for that kick
One of my favorites of all time and one of the best endings to any movie out there. Period.
Fans after seeing the karate kid: I want Daniel to win
Fans after seeing cobra Kai: I wanted Johnny to win
I like them both tho.
I still get tears seeing Mr.Myagi's smile after the win.
This give me goosebumps ❤
