Review of The Karate Kid (1984) by Anthony H — 25 Jul 2014
A classic that is loved for the wrong reasons. We have the story of a fugitive with a god complex teaming up with a drunken, layabout handyman to wreak havoc on Southern California. The villainous Daniel and lecherous Miyagi continually prod, poke and instigate a tight group of upstanding young men, known as the Cobra Kai.
It all culminates in a showdown at a tournament where Daniel does what's in his nature to do: cheat at all costs. Though Daniel comes away with a cheap, plastic metal trophy, Johnny Lawrence and his Cobra Kai buddies learned to win at life.
