The Karate Kid

This is the first  - and the best - in the series of The Karate Kid movies - the original 1984 movie directed by John Avilsden (the oscar winning director of Rocky).

It stars Ralph Macchio, Pat Morita, Elisabeth Shue, and William Zabka.

The Karate Kid follows the story of Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio), an Italian-American teenager from New Jersey who moves with his widowed mother to Los Angeles.

LaRusso is taught karate by a handyman and war veteran Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita) to help LaRusso defend himself and compete in a karate tournament against his bullies.
