The Karate Kid (Kiki, Mickey, and the rest...)

Miyagi is just way too powerful 🙏 🙏

you can tell who actually knows their stuff😉

I think the movie is great, honestly, but Ralph Macchio is just way too sweet!😍

The movie was absolute garbage. Those fight scenes? A total disaster—I’ve never seen anything quite that bad in my life.

Honestly, it was more of a funny teen drama than an actual martial arts flick. The whole point isn't even about the fighting—it’s really just about that kid growing up. —And man, that Macchiato guy? Total disaster. He was born in '61!!! In the first movie, he was already 23!! It looks so incredibly outdated.

That was an excellent movie; I finally sat down and watched it👍. I really connected with all the characters, though I guess maybe Amy didn't feel quite as natural—though that's probably just because she looks so young standing next to Daniel.🤣

I still find it hard to believe Ralph Macchio was only 23 when they filmed this; if only we were all blessed with those kinds of genes, haha. Miyagi and Daniel are definitely my favorites, and the soundtrack is fantastic too, especially that Japanese influence.🍿

The eighties were easily the best era for cinema... nowadays, everything feels so scrutinized; you have to watch every single detail regarding casting because everything has to be politically correct and sensitive to social issues.🙂

In case you missed it, there’s a sequel series out right now that’s massive. It doesn't mess around with all that political correctness nonsense either—in fact, the character Johnny is basically the antithesis of that whole movement. Bottom line: if you’re a fan of The Karate Kid, you’re going to absolutely love Cobra Kai.👍

Honestly, if we're talking about the Commodore 64, this is easily one of the absolute best games ever made for it. 😁

The series is way better, especially with Johnny—the haters just don't get it. 🙏

I suppose I'll move on to the series next.👍🍿

I still have two parts left to get through. I noticed there's a fourth one where Miyagi teaches some girl how to do karate, but that doesn't really appeal to me. Plus, from what I can see, it received quite a bit of negative criticism, so I think I'll just skip it.

Sony just announced they’re moving forward with a new The Karate Kid franchise installment

Might be a dumb question, but why though?

I suppose it’s probably because they still use phrases like "don't be a girl" or "fight like a man." There isn't any of that LGBT stuff, and there aren't enough Black characters, either...

Is Danny Boy going to be in the movie?
